It's good that its 3 London clubs involved as well. Stakes are high as whichever of the 3 misses out it would be disastrous in the long run. If Arsenal beat WBA on Saturday, I'm confident they'd finish 4th at least, I will make up my mind completely after next weekends results. I had Chelsea on 72, Spurs on 70 and Arsenal on 69. So far Arsenal are +2 up, Chelsea -1 and Spurs -1 on my forecast.
Not really, we just have been much better defensively but the goals have dried up, and you have not outplayed us, all 3 games were tight and we could have won all 3 ourselves and SAF has said we want to beat your record so we will go to the end, especially as teams will be fighting for places and survival.
Okay, let's extend this out a bit further. I'm going to make my predictions for the rest of the games: ARSENAL: WBA A - 1pt Norwich H - 3pts Fulham A - 3pts Man Utd H - 1pt QPR A - 3pts Wigan H - 3pts Newcastle A - 1pt Total - 15pts SPURS : Everton H - 1pt Chelsea A - 1pt Man City H - 1pt Wigan A - 1pt Southampton H - 3pts Stoke A - 1pt Sunderland H - 3pts total - 11pts CHELSEA: Sunderland H -3pts Spurs H - 1pt Liverpool A - 1pt Swansea H - 3pts Man Utd A - 0pts Villa A - 1pt Everton H - 1pt Total - 10pts Which would give a final standing of : 3.Arsenal 68pts (on GD) 4.Spurs 68pts 5.Chelsea 65pts
don't Arsenal and chelsea have one game more in hand than spurs? why all 3 have 7 matches here? and i think by the time you will be playing us, we could (hopefully) had win the league already, thus UTD can be more complacent
Really hasn't been the case this year. Arsenal's problems have come against the top 4. Seven losses, United, Chelsea twice, Man City, and Spurs are 5 of them. Chelsea have also slipped up against the weaker clubs far more than usual. I take issue about these so called trends. A few years ago Arsenal "Always" started strong and then died off at the end of a season, but the last couple of seasons it has been the other way round. Arsenal have started weakly, probably due to player losses and the new players being unfamiliar with the PL, and then improved as the team gelled.
Some of those results are extremely optimistic. My view: Arsenal WBA (a) 1 pt Norwich (h) 3 pts Everton (h) 3 pts Fulham (a) 1 pt Man Utd (h) 1 pt QPR (a) 1 pt Wigan (h) 3 pts Newcastle (a) 3 pts Spurs Everton (h) 3 pts Chelsea (a) 0 pts Man City (h) 1 pt Wigan (a) 1 pt Southampton (h) 3 pts Stoke (a) 3 pts Sunderland (h) 3 pts Chelsea Sunderland (h) 3 pts Spurs (h) 3 pts Fulham (a) 1 pt Liverpool (a) 1 pt Swansea (h) 3 pts Man Utd (a) 0 pts Villa (a) 3 pts Everton (h) 3 pts Total; Arsenal - 16 pts - 69 overall Spurs - 14 pts - 71 overall Chelsea - 17 pts - 72 overall
I sincerely doubt all three teams will beat Everton, although they are all playing at home. Spurs will be lucky to beat Stoke away. I'm surpised you dont think we will win one of WBA, QPR, or Fulham. I suggest you put money on that, you would get very, very good odds.
They are, but away is always a challenge. They'll park the bus and if they neutralize Bale, Spurs won't win.
I think Tottenham have a little more steel this year, they've had their wobble, got lucky with the international break but did well to win yesterday at Swansea, I think they'll hold on. Our biggest chance comes with Chelsea being distracted by the 2 cups, I'll be cheering them on tomorrow and hope they make both finals in the hope it affects their league form.
They have lost 2 games at home in the PL all season. They have held us, Man City and Everton to draws, and beaten Liverpool. Their only losses came to Chelsea and West Ham. Previous results suggest that Spurs "Battering them" is extremely unlikely.
Their fans have massively turned against Pulis and the old Stoke resolve is gone. Stoke have very few talented players, so they rely on hard work. Without that, they are not premiership quality. Spurs have been excellent away from home this season (only Man Utd have more away wins), so they are odds on favourites to beat Stoke for me. Like Sunderland, Stoke are on a downward spiral that will hopefully seem them get relegated.
West Brom- 3 pts Norwich- 3 pts Everton- 3 pts Fulham- 3 pts Manunited- 3 pts QPR- 3 pts Wigan- 3 pts Newcastle- 1pts
I can see you getting 3 points frm United if only because they will have the League title wrapped up by then and if you guys are seriously going to gun down Chelsea and Spurs you will need to win. One thing against Spurs is if they progress in the Europa League they will find it difficult to raise their game again on a Sunday. Feel Chelsea might kind of "defaut" in that competition if they beat United in the replay!!
Problem is they are playing against Sunderland at home.. Despite the possible boost Sunderland might get from their new manager, can't see anything but a home win in that one.
That was the reserves Hope you gave the Swansea ballboys a good kicking. please log in to view this image Definitely getting some of these on Sunday
