Into The Last Weekend Of The Season

Last week was a bit of a strange one for Arsenal fans as we all turned into Tottenham fans for their game against Manchester City on Tuesday and Tottenham fans turned into Manchester City fans and hoped their team lost to stop Arsenal from winning the league.
I am not expecting my team, Arsenal, to clinch the Premier League this weekend but there has been much talk on if it is ever ok for you to cheer for your own team to lose but these were Tottenham fans and to be fair to them, stopping someone else from winning something is pretty much as good as it gets for a team who last won the top league when the Beatles were still an unsigned band and Yuri Gagarin was looking down on us all from Space.
Such was the Spurs fans fervour in stopping Arsenal by losing, they even forfeited a chance of qualifying for the Champions League themselves and the millions that brings which would come in very handy for a team who have a huge Harry Kane shaped hole in their forward line.
And so to the final day of the Premier League season and even if Arsenal beat Everton this weekend it is likely Manchester City will beat West Ham and win their fourth Premier League title in a row so it is amazing how much success a team can have when they spend a billion pound building a team and face 115 charges for breaches of Premier League rules.
This weekend then there will be some very strange alliances with Arsenal fans cheering for West Ham, Tottenham fans will be cheering Manchester City, Manchester United fans will be cheering Arsenal
and Chelsea fans will be cheering for Sheffield United and Nottingham Forest fans will be hoping that Luton don't win 13-0 against Fulham and relegate them.
Hopefully, Arsenal will be blowing bubbles and sending a massive Thank You basket to David Moyes and his West Ham players Sunday evening but if not then Que Sera, Sera and all that and well done Manchester City and we will get our hands on the 2024 Premier League title when you get stripped of all your titles for cheating anyway.
