Good Luck this weekend, please get 3rd

I'm happy to be in the mix for champions league at this point in the season. Noone expects us to do it (and haven't all season) so the pressure is off. We can go out and play knowing it is unlikely we can get 3rd, but can you see Ben Arfa and Cisse giving up on playing in the pinnacle of club competitions just because it is unlikely? I mean there are so many factors as to why we shouldn't be in Europe, let-alone champions league including the fact there are 3 teams in the mix, and a chance only one of them will get a place anyway. We can but try.

None of the games are easy and the team/s that qualify for the Champions League will have earned and deserve to be there. Think Tottenham will win and Arsenal draw.

 

I find it surreal that we're having this conversation.

I'd be surprised if Arsenal lost - - slip up a bit and draw, yes. Lose, unlikely. Spurs also have to be favourites at home to Fulham. Turning over Everon will be hard work as well.

Don't think I've ever felt so relaxed about an important set of fixtures - - if we get 5th, that will be great. If we do better, it will be whatever comes after great.

 

Arsenal will be under massive pressure to keep the recurring CL spot they've had for so many years. And as we all know, Arsenal don't handle pressure very well. West Brom may also want to go out on a high as a final send-off to Woy.

Spurs have similar pressure, the sort of pressure which caused them to miss out on the CL last year. Their form has also taken a battering for one reason or another. Fulham are also one of those weird teams which worry me a lot. Despite them not pushing up right at the top, they rarely ever seem to crumble and frequently take teams by surprise. Just look at what they did to us. It came out of bloody nowhere. You can never rule them out.

Luckily, we don't have the same sort of pressure as Spurs and Arsenal do, and whilst our game is certainly the toughest, I think we have a better side and are in just as good form. Basically, if we want it enough, we should be able to fight enough to win.
