Topic: 4th place is lava, who'll get it?

[1892tillforever]

Better record on goal difference... I think only spurs can stop us now but they go to United next Saturday, if they lose that it’s nearly done.

Spurs will batter united and I believe we'll just do enough at the Emirates in a week and a half in a tough game. That gives Spurs a shot but they're Spurs so even if that scenario plays out it will be a serious bottle job by arsenal not to get fourth. I hope Arsenal do get it btw. Of th the historical big clubs they're the one I prefer apart from Liverpool.

It does show how far we’ve come, that not getting 4th will be seen as massive failure. I don’t think spurs will win at old trafford. They get battered everywhere they goo.

Yep. All depends on Sir Harold, if he can be bothered to show up. We'll see if he still wants to go to United in the summer.
He's already added a bit of gloss on his CV at his favored suitors a week ago by delivering about the only proper performance of the season.. then he crept back into his hole again.

Let's see what he thinks of United.
If the sire turns up, Son will follow.. and the rest will fall in line. If not, they'll get beat as usual.

Assuming Spurs do the decent thing and beat Everton tomorrow night, how far behind you will they be? Are they Arsenal’s most realistic challengers?

As much as I would love us to go invincible, I am happy it's Arsenal that have that distinction.

Frank will do a number on them, he’s a very intelligent lad, got an A level and speaks 2 languages, if he wasn’t a footballer he could’ve been anything, even a fridge.

I don't know, I think it would be worth it to see United grab fourth just to see Terry's tattoo.

Spurs do well when given space, which is why they'll likely prove a big problem for us at Anfield. United are incapable of NOT giving space so I think Spurs could thrash them to be honest.

Conversely, they could struggle tonight as I imagine Everton will park the bus. Then again, Everton's defence is so poor that it is inevitable Spurs will create chances.

You’ll smash them . No doubt .

I think Spurs are Arsenal's most realistic challenger.

For Arsenal though they are in the box seat. They have points on the board and/or games in hand. They look the most settled squad and only have the league to focus on. On paper they also look to have the easiest fixtures out of the 4th to 7th placed teams. Arsenal have only 1 game remaining against the current top 3 (us at home) and 2 other games against the rest of the Top 8 (United at home and WHU away). They are mainly playing teams in the bottom 12 and currently have a good record against those teams.

We play Chelsea away as well. Same number of games left as spurs as both are out of everything else. They will be our  nearest challengers unless they drop points tonight or on the weekend. I think United could well beat them and turn it into a 3 way race for 5th.

[him_15]

Has to be either Arsenal and Spurs.

[Dave McCoy]

TNB is so obnoxious lately that I'm going to just root for Spurs on principle at this point.

[rushyman]

Arsenal will find a way to fuck it

Spurs are so Spursy now that they’ll Spurs it in a really Spursy way

Satan FC will fall on their feet once again

[Ravishing Rick Dude]

Arsenal 1 point ahead of Manutd and with three games in hand, if they find a way to fuck that up they should just rename their club to Spurs B

[deano2727]

Spurs win at United at the weekend and an Arsenal win over Leicester would pretty much ensure United won't be finishing in the top 4. Between Spurs and Arsenal getting top 4, it's tough to call and I'm not that arsed either way.

Their games in hand

Us Chelsea Spurs 1-3 points from 9 in that for me

Oh well, i knew they have to play us, but i totally forgot they have to play Chelsea and Spurs.

[rushyman]

I’ve never seen a race for top 4 between such poor defending

Arsenal have earned their spot in the advantage at the moment but if they do lose those games itll not just be the points gone but they will collapse like a pack of cards

It's a race in reverse, isn't it? Usually, the race is upward, trying to climb the table, in this case, it seems downward, who would not lose as badly...

You always root for spurs , it’s your team, I have no issues with that. Not catching us though, this could be done and dusted this coming weekend.

We’ve got a better record than Liverpool and city in the last 10 league games, winning 8 and drawing 1, the one defeat was when we battered city.
As for the games in hand, spurs and United still have to go to Anfield( United got Chelsea too) they need to win there and beat us when we meet, if they can do that then I was wrong about both being shit.

You are not wrong about either.

I wouldn’t mind us needing a win on the last day to get 4th.


Everton at home ....

I've said before, you shouldn't look at the games in hand that way, because Utd still have to play those 3 teams and Spurs still have to play Liverpool & Utd as well as us.

Spurs probably have the easier fixture list out the 3, so I'm hoping Utd beat them at the weekend.

However, considering Spurs can beat City and lose to Burnley 4 days later, I'm not sure an easier fixture list is what they need.

[Terry de Niro]

Surely Arsenal with a point lead over Yernited and 3 games in hand won't fuck up now?

Think the three games in hand are us, Chelsea and Spurs. So no real gimmes.

Wouldn’t be at all surprised if it went to the last game, good news is they have Everton.

We will beat them, I reckon, but the other 2 matches are winnable.

You are correct and our game is the only one they have got at home.

[The North Bank]

Time to change the title of this thread to 5th place.

31 points from last 36. We are walking this.

United still have to play Liverpool and Chelsea, so these are not our games in hand. Its as you were.
