Title: What if on the last day of the season.........
Post by: vagrant on April 19, 2011, 07:33:26 PM
This is the scenario.  We are comfortably safe.  Arsenal need to get all three points from our match to win the premiership and pip Man Ure at the post, and therefore stop them winning their 19th title.

The question is, would you be happy to let Arsenal beat us ?!?!?!

no, a team that wins the premier league should have earned it

Yes.
Sorry Michael but the amount of bans that Rooney Vidic and co SHOULD get, not to mention the other decisions that go UTDs way, I'm not always convinced they earn it - more get it handed to them

No, because of the very simple reason that each spot in the Prem table equals about a million quid. Given how cramped the table is, 3 points against the arse could easily mean 3 million quid when it is all done and dusted.

Definately not, I'd love to see us make Arsenal supporters cry and would laugh like a drain if we managed it. Not terribly Christian of me, I know, but during the great escape season, when they tonked us at the Cottage, they seemed to take exceptional joy from our predicament in a way that others didn't. They were practically gloating that we were going down (and how wrong they were, too).

So, whilst upsetting Fergie and Rio is always a bonus, it would be sweet to deny Arsenal, and think of the fun you would have tellling all your life-long (well, since 1992) United supporting neighbours that they only won it because of us.

Happy to see Fulham lose? No, never! Whatever the circumstances I always want my club to win.

But just for the sake of argument! What if it was Ch*lsea on top and another club would nick the title if we lost?

NFW!

Though I would be happy if they had a chance on the last day and we played them off the park and beat them.

Would definitely want us to win even though all of my in-laws are Gooners.

That is an even better reason for us to win  :dft012:

I'd love to see one of those 'wonder matches', whereby they go 3 goals up in the first half an hour and think they've got the Premiership wrapped up. Then Bobby Z starts turning the tune up and nets 5! I'd pay a handsome sum to see that, plus I'd wait outside the away end with a camera to capture the look of every single Arsenal supporter leaving the ground!  :yay:

It would be a great situation. If we win we get to see Wenger cry. If we lose we can go home and watch Ferguson explode on TV. Win/win for me. Dislike both of them, and their teams, intensely.  :008:

What a nasty, vindictive mind you have, Mr Equalizer.

You're my kind of supporter!

for me it's got nothing to do with who the other club is, it is more a matter of pride, to win the title you need to get more points that anyone else, so if they can't do that by their own game then we should not compromise ours.

 I'd rather Arsenal win the League than Manure, but i'd always want Fulham to win, except as Nick asks if it meant Chelsea losing the title, then i'd go for that.

Fair point Fred, but with each position on the table equaling about 1 million quid and with our good goal difference a result against Arsenal in the last match will likely be very meaningful to Fulham.

However, in general, even if we played Mother Theresa Select XI for charity, I still would want us to win.
