Got a feeling Sarri will go all out for the EL now. We're 4 points ahead of them with the same amount if games played and they have to go to Anfield (I know we do too). I'd be fucked off if they finish above us.

And we're quite a few goals better, so that could well mean a 5-point lead.

It's worked out for us that chavski have such an easy run to the euro vase final. Their players will turn in the league and focus on that

They have to United too.

Conversely, Arsenal have to go to Goodison AND Molineux and after seeing how tough Everton and Wolves have been for our other opponents it may be that our wins there earlier will help us get top 4.

Arsenal have to go to Leicester, Burnley and Watford too. They might nick a couple of points, but I can't see them winning more than a couple of their remaining away games.

Arsenal also have to go to Watford, Leicester and Burnley in the last game who may be playing to stay up for all we know.

Added bonus that Chelsea defeat. I didn’t think Everton had it in them to beat them. Plus I think their record against them is poor.

Neither can I. To win all of them games would show title winning form, something Arsenal are not.

I was listening to Danny Mills and Steve Sidwell talk about the top4 run-in earlier and the discussion did come across as very lazy. Pretty much summed up that Arsenal's run-in is good whereas ours is the worst. I think sometimes people get sucked in to who they are playing and not who and where they are playing. Everton, Burnley or Watford at the Emirates may be more of a doddle but Everton and Watford at their place is a completely different prospect and takes huge mental strength to come away with 3 points, as we have found out very recently.

I think if you took City and Liverpool out of our run-in then it's actually pretty favourable. Huddersfield at home is a very good fixture, whereas Palace, Brighton and Everton could be tricky, but it's rare that they beat us at home. Bournemouth could be tricky but we have rolled them over often in the past, even at their spot.

It won't be easy but I do think once we find ourselves again and give it one final push it should be enough.

Just don’t rule out that arsenal are the luckiest team in world football though. They’ll get some dodgy decisions between now and the end of the season. We just need them to start by losing their next game. That will do for me. Shut the fuckers up.

This is their run-in. The games are coming thick and fast and they've played more than us so far.
They are away to Watford, sandwiched in-between their ties against Napoli and actually only get two days rest before they host Palace (although I guess this will be put back a day) regardless Palace aren't a good team to be playing when tired as they have the legs.

I assume that their away trip to Wolves will be slotted in before their trip to Leicester, that is not a good couple of away games back to back.

Perhaps I am analysing this too much but that run-in is far from as easy as some of their fans and pundits are making out. Also, if they beat Napoli they really will have a fixture pile-up.

Their Mon night game against Newcastle on 1/4 is a gimme.

Newcastle usually roll over for them. PEA will have a fair few gimp masks lying around to celebrate his goals.
