    If you beat Arsenal, do you think you can finish above Arsenal?

    regardless of whether we beat Arsenal, I don't think we'll finish in the top 4. To be honest, we don't deserve it and we haven't been good enough this season.

    Surprisingly if you win ur game in hand and beat Arsenal, you will be only 3 points behind Arsenal.

    LOL, not as simple as that. You're forgetting the other games around that time which we're bound to drop more points in!

    Lol bottle job from the overrated goons as usual.

    Worzil Gummage is a £40m flop.

    Unfortunately, there's only 1 HIAG.

    A lot can still happen. The final 8-10 games of the season can cause all sorts of problems, as the teams down the bottom start scrapping for points. It becomes very unpredictable, as I'm sure you know.

    It was about this time last year that Arsenals ridiculous end of season form started, which resulted in them picking up 28 points out of 30.

    If they do it again this season bearing in mind their tough fixtures, well, they'll deserve a top 4 finish at the very least.

    I think there's going to be a few surprises in store. HIAG refers to it as "the Arsenal bottle job". - Whilst i don't think it'll be quite like that, with their fixtures, it could cause them big problems.

    we'll see...

  9. I've said, all along, that we have it in us to finish above the Goons. When we lost to Norwich, I thought we'd blown our chance; but with the Goons losing to Stoke... that changes it all back again.

    As for finishing above the Chavs... nah. I've never once claimed that we had it in us to do that. They have too many good players; and as much as I do believe it was a big mistake them bringing The Smug One back to the club, he's still better than any of the clowns we've had in charge of us, in recent seasons.

    and it'll continue to change every week depending on the results of the top 6 clubs. 1 defeat and it looks awful in that particular week, but as soon as someone else loses, it's game on again.

    A long way to go yet.

  11. Indeed.

    And whatever happens, it all goes to prove that there is still very little to choose between the Gunners and us. They have one of their best seasons, we have one of our worst, and yet we are still in with a chance of beating them to that last top 4 spot.

    Arsenal bottling it is the predictable thing about the last 10 games of the season though. The clocks go forward, Easter eggs, Arsenal bottling it - you know it's spring.

  14. I'm betting that AFC bring out a DVD that covers only half this season, to make it look like (a) they won the title, and (b) Ozil played like someone worth £42 million.

    Does that mean Suarez is over rated or Fowler under rated ?

    Unlucky Goons, a few spurs fans where hoping for you to win the title, shame on them as we should never hope for our rivals to "win" but luckily the days of Arsenal winning trophies under Wenger are finished so I know the goons must feel some sort of pride of being "in contention" but we all know they can't win the title or champions league so they must expect this to happen? the usual collapse, even with such a talented manager?

    Mmm, can't help thinking that if Robby had Suarez's chance, he would've wanted a touch there and probably fluffed it. Clinical.

    It was similar to Bobbys offside goal midweek

    They want and expect titles though. They do can 4th place - sometimes 3rd - but nothing else in the past 9 years.
