Next up is Fulham at home, a chance to go from projected 81 to 83 points. Liverpool are on a projected 86 points, but let's not kid ourselves, Liverpool are 12 points adrift and also have Crystal Palace at home, where they lost last year so another easy +3 there for instance.

Meanwhile top four is safe for us, which I never thought looked like a problem, but some on here seemed to think so.

Back to a projected 83 points, but only one game remaining where we can get back to -4, which is Anfield. Too bad we drew so many games this year already. Change a couple to some wins and it would still be interesting.

Down to 79 points now, but who cares, it's CL or bust. Top four is done already for us.

Draws.. the absolute bane of our season.. draws

13 effing draws.. most of them from winning positions.. bring that to 7 extra wins, 14 extra points.. and you're still in a title fight

And that's where 2/3 extra scoring options off the bench get you..

Seriously, even yesterday the options for changing the game were

Sterling.. washed up
Nwaneri.. a kid
Merino.. a central mid

Cannot start next season that poor again

@Synical @Dennis_Bergkamp_10 so the final count is that we finished this season with a whooping -15 points from last season.

A big disappointment, given the off-year by 115 FC.

I think it's incredible that we managed to finish second with all the injuries and PGMOL shenanigans. I don't think people realise just how talented Arteta is. I read an incredible stat today that this is the first time in 102 years that we didn't have a single player score more than 10 goals.
