Stumbling Over the Line, Does It Really Matter?

Arsenal drew again against Crystal Palace, in a game where it didn't really seem like either team cared, should we be worried about top 5? top 2? Also a look ahead to PSG next Tuesday.

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:

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.
