The race for the title

[slartibartfast]

Our run in is a piece of piss. If we can beat Everton and Liverpool lose to Arse. We could be almost there (top 4).

Even the hard games are Arsenal and Man U at home. Which we are capable of winning.

We dropped 2 points against Sunderland.
I get what you're saying but everyone is perfectly capable of fkin it up against anyone on any given weekend.
I think it'll go down to last 2 games at least.

 

[slartibartfast]

Every time I watch Liverpool play (which is admittedly only the big games) they look like the best team in the league.

My guess for top 4 at this stage would be Chelsea, us, Man City, and Liverpool.

So you've only watched the games they've won?
That wasn't their 2nd win this year because they're fantastic. Trust me they've been a fkin shambles.

 

[tttcowan]

Can't see Liverpool coming ahead of arsenal myself. Arsenal in turmoil still win most games.

They're just absolutely useless against a team that sits deep, gives up possession and tries hit them on counter. Disappointed Poch didn't play that way tbh

Ah yes, the Leicester syndrome.
No matter how many fkin games you watch teams push up to the half way line allowing Vardy half the pitch to run into from a simple long ball another opposition team bowls up the following game and does exactly the same thing. Surprisingly with the same outcome.
If only there was some tactical ingenius way of stopping it.
Ooh wait. I've an idea lol.

The Arsenal game is going to be key. We need to win that one.

Agreed but I think it's key for us to win all games where we can open up a gap of more than 3 points.

Like today

 

[thebenjamin]

Honestly think if we win today we'll make top 4.

 

[DIEHARD]

I'll go beyond that and say if we win today we could be back in the title race. I think Chelscum will drop points tomorrow

We are also out of the EL

 

[SUIYHA]

Guarantee if we drop points today half the posters who think we're getting top four will be declaring that it's over, Liverpool have the momentum now and Arsenal will always finish above us. Poch out.

 

[Giovanni]

Every point is vital as come the end of the season 2nd-6th will be seperated by such a fine margin. Im more worried about the last game of the season tbh as we all know how we tend to cope with pressure.

Tough game today....clean sheet is vital.

 

[homer hotspur]

Away games against Leicester, Swansea, palace, Burnley and Hull are all going to be extrmely difficult. Don't fall for the 'on paper' trap.

 

[tommo84]

Our away form generally hasn't been good enough. We've either won comfortably or just not turned up. If our away form was comparable with our rivals we would already be as close to Chelsea as we are to the teams below us. It makes continuing our home form crucial.

Can't wait for Spurs tv lol.

Ok but where are the gonna drop the other points? Every big team has destroyed West Ham away. Why is the best team in the county going to drop points?

Chelsea will murder them

 

[RichieS]

They'll lose to whatever shithouse team they have next in the league before schooling Arsenal the way they did us (and Chelsea for large parts of that match). It's just what "Klopp's Liverpool" do.

Quoting oneself is poor form, but...

Without Europa to worry about, we will finish in the top 3. It'll be tight between us and City for 2nd, but their fixture list is much more difficult. Even finishing 3rd and getting automatic CL qualification again would be a great achievement.

We could see a real paradigm shift if Arsenal don't make top 4 this season. I think their quality of play is 6th best at the moment, and if they miss out on CL football, Sanchez is definitely gone. He is everything to them. They'd have finished 5th/6th the last 3 seasons without the guy. Ozil also looks to have a foot out the door. The rest of their squad is aging, injury prone, and lacking in dynamism. With all the uncertainty around Wenger, fan fury at their board, they could be set back 5 years if they go into a tailspin these last few months.

I will continue to believe that Arsenal will finish above us until they mathematically can't. Let myself succombe to foolish hope last season that I would finally see us finish above them (having never seen that happen, after following Spurs for 20 years from the 1995/96 season), but then we conspired to screw the pooch in that way that only we can during the final 4 games of last season and normal service was depressingly resumed.

Would still put money on those ****s finishing above us if I was offered odds right now.
