Received an email from Paul Constant this morning. Reads as follows…

You know WHAT IF is always a phrase that is used at this time of the season.

So WHAT IF Man U drop points against West Ham, Chelsea drop points against Newcastle, They both go into the last games of the season watching each other.

Wigan v Man U - last game of the season away. Chelsea v Bolton home

So WHAT IF both teams draw and lose a game they will finish on 82 points

And so WHAT IF Arsenal win all 3 remaining games, We will have 83 points and win the league.

Silly season is not with us yet but who knows!

WHAT IF!

(That’s the end of Paul’s email, so let’s analyse this rationally.)

West Ham could beat Man Utd at OT – they have history.

Newcastle could hold Chelsea to a draw.

Wigan v Man Utd. Can Wigan – players already on the beach by then surely – prevent United from winning? Let’s have a laugh and say they could.

But then can Bolton get a draw at the Bridge? Maybe needing a point to stay up? If Chavski get 83 points, the Gunners could then take the title on goal difference if the answer is yes to the following question…

Can Arsenal win their remaining three matches?

And can I enjoy the week of my life with a quintet of famous beauties listed in the title? It’s within the realms of scientific possibility, given the right traveling arrangements and an unlikely willingness on the part of all concerned but folks… there’s as much chance of that as Arsenal lifting the trophy at the Stadium of Light on May 11th. Ain’t gonna happen.

Keep the faith you deluded fools!

Actually, needed to post something today to give two promised plugs to… a football play and a campaign to get Arsenal to provide a sports centre that was originally in the plans when the new stadium was agreed by Islington Council. Plugs over!
