Shit we are 8 points clear of 5th? Thought it was less than that. Great result for us so.

Think we'll see the start of West Ham's drop off after this, it's long overdue. Saying that they might just finish above us anyway if we don't sort ourselves out in the league.

Did you see that ludicrous display last night until five minutes ago?

Be an amazing weekend if we get through in the cup. Top 4 now looking for good.

Good game in the end. West Ham should've continued as they did in the first half, but it's hard to keep up a high press for the 90.

West Ham's front lineup of Antonio, Benrama, Bowen, Lingard and Fornals has a lot of talent and work rate to it. They have a very solid squad.

Was funny seeing Arsenal play like shite and be 3-0 down but actually a draw is a better result for us.

8 point gap to 5th now.

No excuses if we don't make top 4

Hopefully Roman made his payment so we get SH in the semi draw.

9mins in, and there's the obligatory English player is over physical on a non English player situation leading to a quip about "letting him know he's there" from Jenas.

Would take something mad for us not to make it now tbh.

Yeah, it just isn't happening - even if we have a mini-implosion, nobody behind us is consistent, certainly not 2 or 3 teams that would be needed to pull us down.
It's why I feel that, with the league being gone, go all out for the cups.

I would be pretty disappointed if we didn't finish second, mind you. But top 4 is looking better after that collapse.

That was garbage by Fred but Maguire's equally to blame, should never be passing to him there.

How can they possibly call our goal lucky when we literally passed the ball to Leicester for theirs? :lol: ours was excellently worked, best bit of football of the half.

Why is the draw at half time? Could they not fit it in before antiques roadshow or something.

Pep vs Tuchel is usually fun, or at least was when they were at Bayern/Dortmund. Chelsea Tuchel seems a lot more defense-oriented, and as of this season, Pep has gone that direction too. Soo, i take my opening words back, it's going to be a borefest :D
