I'll say it again.. The result is not the argument, It's about paying money to go and watch your team but cheering for the opposition or not.. Win lose or draw is irrelevant.

...and yet wanting OTHER teams to do US a favour is 'small minded' according to some.
We get the chance to direct Arsenals destiny... It's in OUR hands... same as it was when we actually played them a fortnight ago, but we fucked that up, so this is surely the next best thing?!
At least we're not relying on anyone ELSE to lose to Man City... (Except West Ham next week!!)
Mind you, I would miss the NLD!
I'm pretty sure they did a straw poll of Celtic fans during the time Rangers were demoted, and most of them said that whilst they HATED Rangers, to not get to play them was actually quite a shame... I agree!
Part of football IS the rivalry... Someone has to be 'the enemy" ...
Otherwise, you're just Fulham!
I think it takes all the pressure off tbh.
We win/draw, yes there might be implications...
but if we lose, it has much BIGGER ramifications!
I genuinely don't care either way... I doubt I'll celebrate if City score, but I'd wager there will be a strange atmosphere if WE score!
It IS a weird scenario... But I feel ArseAnal have brought it on themselves, by not just fucking off and fading in March/April... But instead persistently push it to the final week of the season!
Stubborn Fuckers!
Would you feel better knowing that your £100 went towards them winning the league which means they can strengthen further meaning that the gap will be more difficult to close and catch up with them?
There's a middle ground between cheering on the ops and being content to lose if it means it's for the greater good.
Am I saying it wrong? the result has nothing to do with why I said there are two sides. I've already said, that if we lose I will not be one bit pissed off and in fact probably laugh, that is the middle ground that I am referring to.
I won't disrespect my club or players by cheering the team they are playing against. If they lose I great and I will be straight on the phone to rub it in to Woolwich fans.
I don't want us to win this under any circumstances.
Fuck Woolwich.
Fuck Woolwich.
Corrected for you.
Genuinely good points... It's not JUST about stupidly/naively wanting us to lose... There ARE bigger implications going into next season....
I'd say there ARE such games (Man Utd away in '99) that's it's ok to not mind loseing!
. .
. Think of it as a long term tactical defeat!
If you just want the last word then fine have it but you're arguing about the result and I never said anything about the result.Christ, nevermind...
That hasn't changed.
It's my last reply so you now may have the last word.

Ok
My thoughts would definitely change if the northern red scum do the decent thing today and turn up against the southern red scum. But might change back if Villa get anything against the scouse red scum.
Under no circumstances do I want us to gift the title to that lot. City winning it is by far the lesser of the two evils.
Surely if Woolwich drop points today and Villa lose tomorrow, you’d want us to win? 4th place would be back on.
if Woolwich win Today (hopefully not ) then Villa win Monday we can relax and help City with their inferior goal difference
if United win though and Villa lose it changes everything , then I think we will only lose by seven

From Mania:
If you are suggesting they will lose on Tuesday, which is a good call, the fans will be celebrating it like a trophy. There could be a riot if they took points off City.
My feeble minded perspective is: we are in EL rather than CL. That I'll celebrate.
The pain of them not winning will be an exclexiar to me. Us winning this 1 game won't change our direction. If the game costs the Scum a title, I'll take that every day of the week.
If scum win today, I'll celebrate a last minute OG from Cutti to snatch the Title out of their grubby little hands. I'll feed off of it.

Thanks for that, I appreciate it.Stand by views posted last night on fans hoping we lose to City.
However, on reflection I went OTT onMrs Perryman and I would like to apologise unreservedly.
Completely disagree…
Makes much more sense to have Lankshear up top with Santiago on the wing!!
Totally get not wanting Woolwich to finish first, but wouldn’t it mean something to be the ones to cause city to not win the PL for the 4th or whatever time in a row?
Not if it means handing the scum the league. They were bad enough when they won it at WHL. There’ll be more chants and piss taking if we help them win it this season.
I think I’d rather die.
