    After losing at home to Fulham it looks that way. Apart from United can't see where else you lot will lose games. Your record against Everton is unbelievably good and midweek you should beat them. Can't see Spurs winning at Chelsea nor beating City but they are still in pole position.

    The momentum has completely swung in Chelsea and Arsenal's favour after the last 2 weekends results. Kyle Walker has messed up their season.

    Aww the spuds banned me from their part of the forum :(

    Anyway the spuds are indeed going into bottle mode again, it really is quite fun to observe this annual event. I could almost envisage watching footage of the spuds bottling it with a voice over commentary from david attenborough. "Here during the first green shoots of spring, the spud starts to grow weary, tired of its exertions over the winter period, the beast must now take refuge from the larger more successful predators, allowing them to take what they want with no resistance. Fascinating".

    Spuds will have a few more slip ups.

    For me though Chelsea's run in looks tricky. I could defintely see them having a few more defeats.

    Top Four is still hard to call.

    At this stage of the season it's all about momentum, who you play is secondary.

    Our run in may look tricky but we went to the Champions elect and played them off the park and did so in the 2 other times we played them. United away (who will have already won the league by then) isn't a fixture that will daunt us, nor will Liverpool.

    Our last 3 games are against sides with nothing to play for. Players like Mikel, Hazard, Oscar, Moses and Ivanovic are still relatively fresh.

    Wasn't it the famous Chelsea fan Marvin Gaye that wrote that? <whistle>

    They do, but for me they have so many quality players at the same time. Hazard,Mata and Oscar as a trio are just unreal. They are all match winners, so I can see them doing enough to claim a place in the top four.

    Your record against Liverpool at Anfield isn't too great in recent years, to be fair. <ok>

    Our record at Goodison in recent years was even worse..

    We can afford to lose to Liverpool or United now that Spurs have slipped up.

    You just need to win your games which you'll do by keeping Vermaelen out the side. If you win all your games you should almost certainly get 3rd or 4th at worst.

    Arsenal will get 3rd.

    Chelsea 4th.

    Tottenham 5th.

    And Arsenal will be kings of London, like they should be.

    The Arsenal board on this site is really really quiet.
