Stumbling Over the Line, Does It Really Matter?

Adam and Scott get back together to chat about Arsenal’s 2-2 draw against Crystal Palace.

It was a disappointing and pretty low-quality display but does it matter? The big topics from the match:

* Kiwior shining after a run of games

* Trossard looking sharp as the false nine

* Any worries about the defense or just a one off

The next topic is about Arsenal’s chances for staying in the top 5 and in the top 2. We give our thoughts on the outlook, while looking at the rivals end of season fixtures and what points total Arsenal needs to feel safe.

To finish in the top 5, the magic number is probably 68 points and almost certainly 70 points for Arsenal. To finish 2nd, they probably need 73-75 but could scrape it at a lower number.

Adam wrote up a post today on what this could mean.

The last topic is a look ahead to PSG. The different position battles, thoughts on how the game will go, and a prayer that this doesn’t go to penalties because neither of our hearts could take it.
