Arsenal Predictions.

[Winter_Raven]

Arsenal are not playing especially great. I can see them getting stuck. 1-1

 

[DANGERCLOSE]

I've said this before "we are due a win against them" 2-1 to palace

 

[PatrickA]

This will be a very unpopular view on here, but I'd almost prefer us to beat Arsenal than win the final if it denies Arsenal the title and allows us to concentrate solely on domestic competitions next season.
No more Thursday/Sunday routines with the squad being stretched yet again.
Bear in mind we are likely to be a weaker squad in the summer and also have the unknown factor of the new manager.

 

[BromleyMonkey]

I predict Arsenal fans in the home sections. Whatever the club do.

At least in the Whitehorse they haven’t got as many stairs to be thrown down🤣

 

[taylors lovechild]

If City win tonight, then I think Sunday will come down to how committed we are to actually getting a result and whether Arsenal keep their cool. If Arsenal are at their best, they'll win easily, but whereas the pressure will be immense for them, for us it is just an end-of-season swansong before the game that really matters. The form Sarr is in, I hope he doesn't play on Sunday!

Anyway, having said all that, I think Bournemouth will beat City tonight, and Sunday will be a non-event with Arsenal winning 2-0.

 

[palace_in_frogland]

Not gonna bother, my predictions lately haven't been great.

Surely you can manage one last 7-6 scenario for the season’s end?

Very worrying is the trend by many supporters to think we could really struggle next season.

 

[Dogburger]

Yes we have to rotate and not have knackered players for next week but that doesnt mean we cant put out a capable side to upset the gooners

In a way I hope Bournemouth win tonight and our game on Sunday will be a relaxed affair without too much drama .
If it goes to wire I feel we will be obliged to play our part in making sure Arsenals suffering continues .

2-1

[ASCPFC]

Set pieces, us, VAR and refs.

 

[mtp1958]

We have made our reasons for a weaker team Richards lacroix and riad carrying injurys sort of , I'm hoping city don't win so we can rest all our first 11 , can see 3/4 -0 result , I really don't care about the scoreline Sunday its keeping the guys injury free for weds

 

[Frickin Saweet]

what exactly are you worried about? Are you worried that other people are worried because it shows a trend of people worrying more? Or because people are worrying that means there must be something to worry about? Did you know that a lot of people aren't worried about next season, and are excited about the next chapter at CPFC and how we can level things up again? Should we worry about that too, or should we be excited because other people are excited?

Yea , know what you mean ,even with the squad we have now its under pressure to field a combative team for both competitions. It will have to be a choice between investment or competitions , plus replacing players leaving and building the new stand . Deep pockets are needed but we have to abide by the guide lines . Oh yea 2-0 to Palace . Wouldnt be the first time we s*** on someone's parade .

 

[Eagleman13]

Yup, horrible tackle! But, VAR is fast becoming the best friend of the big clubs!

Arsenal have not had a player sent off nor had a penalty given against them all season (Source: bbc)

Simon Hooper is the match ref & Michael Salisbury is VAR.

[SurbsEagle]

I actually think Arsenal win the league tonight with a City draw/defeat against Bournemouth.

Arsenal then have Champs League final so will play fringe players keen to get in that starting line up. A boring 0-0 or usual mental last game of the season 4-4.

How can you possibly prefer us preventing someone else winning a title OVER Palace winning a trophy??!!

 

[PatrickA]

It’s a reasonable question!

I said ‘almost’ and of course I want Palace to win.
It’s just that I would take pleasure in seeing Arsenal denied the title and I do have concerns about another season in Europe and it’s impact on our domestic season with a new manager and a weaker squad.

That being said, looking at our history, how often do we have a chance to win a European trophy, albeit a minor one.

 

[Croydon Sunset]

Play the under 19's and keep our players safe. I don't give a f@ck about who wins the league in the context of Palace winning a European trophy.

 

[Part Time James]

Fine.

7-6 win to Palace. A rampant Eze pops 6 past us in the first half, but Justin Devenny, fresh from being rested since the Community Shield penalty, comes on for JSL scoring the Premier League's fastest ever half dozen. On the 93rd minute Raya is caught off guard checking his phone for the Man City score only for a Chris Richards long throw to bounce off his water bottle into the goal. Some terrible VAR reviewing mistakes the water bottle for the previously substituted JSL and gives it as a valid goal. Those with JSL in their FPL team are given the points for the goal, as are those who have a water bottle in their team.

If VAR relies upon physical movement combined with involvement in play, it's more likely to mistake a water bottle for Brennan Johnson. He'll be grateful for even a mistaken goal contribution, so will keep quiet whilst the review takes place.
