@bayimports Tough to take that late winner for Bournemouth, the ref seemed to be playing until the Arse scored. It did show how good Arsenal are though, a bit like City last season they lack a central striker so often end up playing endless crosses but in the end the pressure told. Who the hell knows who will end up going down - there is not a lot between any of them down there, it all comes down to the teams who can scrape a few wins.
I think the ref was only playing the allotted time.
Yes it was right on the limit - I suspect if Bournemouth had cleared the corner further away, the ref would have called time - literally the last kick of the game.

Currently 2-1 to Brentford in the battle to be the best team in West London with about 20 minutes to go. Brentford have drawn a few too many games this season to be in the top 4 race but have lost only 4 games compared to 6 for Man U, 7 for Liverpool & 9(!) for Spurs.

the bottom of the table is even closer
6 points separates 12 and 20th. With no stand out shit team this season it's all on for the drop.

And even closer now - any team written off as down seems to win and any team starting to look safe seems to lose.

@KiwiPie Bournemouths upset win against Liverpool came at the right time. Played very well against Arsenal for no points, so hopefully a lot of confidence coming from both. Cant pick bottom three right now however happy we have a game in hand over Everton and Wolves on that list as every opportunity is crucial.
Hopefully we get to see our 30m Ukrainian defender for the first time next week as well

@bayimports A very amusing result for everyone except Liverpool fans. Bournemouth seemed to be getting a lot of joy from the ball over the top. Salah's penalty miss was bizarre - he was so far wide, you wonder where he was aiming.
Any of those 9 teams that can get 4 more wins should stay up, 3 wins might be enough.
These games happen on the final day.
Palace v Forest
Everton v Bournemouth
Leicester v West Ham
with
Arsenal v Wolves
Leeds v Spurs
Southampton v Liverpool -

I can't remember the last time all three relegation spots were so open this late. Bad memory maybe, but feels like there's normally at least one team that are having a mare and are a dozen points or so off the pace.
Trossard with a hatrick of assists vs Fulham, not bad for a guy who Arsenal weren't even planning to sign at the start of the window. Their recruitment has been incredible lately, really doing a great job of getting valuable contributors without resetting the market. Be interesting to see what their summer recruitment strategy looks like.
