Tbf tho whilst our seeding was due to our positioning, we still ultimately lucked out of the draw because Bayern finished second and they’ll probably have to face city and Liverpool/chelsea en route to the final.
We need to 1) win the league cup and 2) still be top (without relying on a game in hand to be there) after we face city at the etihad.
If both of those scenarios play out I think we have a real shot at everything.
I fear tho if we lose the league cup and aren’t also top, these could have outsized symbolic impacts on the lads mentally and could cost us literally everything
Lose the League Cup final and I fear it's death spiral from there. It's not just the League Cup that will be at stake that day. We don't want Citeh getting any sort of fillip from winning that game.
I honestly think the league cup final is the most consequential game of Arsenal’s history post the 2006 CL final.
Funny that people say they don’t care about the comp - I think it’s everything and total make or break. Not only for this season, but if it makes or breaks us this season, it will have ramifications going into the coming seasons too
An Arsenal that ends this season with multiple trophies and one ends as another disappointing failure sets a totally different tone for the manager and squad for next year. The bottle job noise will be unbearable - Wenger style in the barren years
Who can forget us losing the league cup final to Chelsea after outplaying them and we all moaned like babies about how their squad was more expensive and they dope financially yada yada. History will have come full circle and must not happen
Couldn't have put it better, mate. We are known as arguably the longest-suffering football fan base. If there is any justice in the world, we should win it all as a salve to all those years of hurt!
I can't lie, "Linkedin Liam" Rosenior is a quality slander name... well done!
It fits so well
God I hate linked in.
Such a cess pool of everyone pretending they are an AI trends guru my god
If this is the benefit of topping the table of the league phase of the UCL, then expect to see more competitive games going forward next season.

Either way we fucking earned that luck tho!!!
1st! Where we will end up in all comps this season!
A quadruple would be something!
For me there are two critical elements here:
We need to 1) win the league cup and 2) still be top (without relying on a game in hand to be there) after we face city at the etihad.

It’s a total knife edge
