The race for 6th

Who is going to win the race to finish 6th? Burnley have had a great season and only lie two points behind Arsenal. I've checked the remaining fixtures and by my reckoning in the crunch fixture, 2nd last game of the season, Arsenal play at home to Burnley and a draw for Burnley might be good enough.

Here is my thoughts:

Agree?

Arsenal - 54pts

West Ham (H) - 3pts
Man Utd (A) - 0pts
Burnley (H) - 1pt
Leicester (A) - 1pt
Huddersfield (A) - 3pts

Finishing on 62pts

Burnley - 52pts

Chelsea (H) - 1pt
Stoke (A) - 3pts
Brighton (H) - 3pts
Arsenal (A) - 1pt
Bournemouth (H) - 3pts

Finishing on 63pts

 

Burnley have no chance Vs Chelsea tomorrow, easy win for the blues. Nailed on 3 points for the Chavs.

 

Few red cards/knocks wouldn't go amiss...

 

After reading your OP, Saffy, I have put the cock clinic on high alert, and I have pre-booked an ambulance.

 

This thread has got legs, you can tell Saffy was inspired by some good Weed

 

Those results do look more than feasible mind, hope they do it.

 

I wonder if Burnley go for the kill at the Emirates and practically kill it all off there?

 

If that happens, no way will Wenger survive.

 

Got 1-0 away win written all over it.

Arsenal might start the season in July

 

It could be ironic actually as Sean Dyche could be the man to put Wenger out of a job and then take his seat too!

 

See, now you’re just toying with dreams, Saf!

 

I wonder if @PISKIE would be happy about Dyche as replacement for Wenger

 

There was a Gooner on the Alan Brazil Breakfast Show, this morning, who was making a serious case for Eddie Howe.

 

I understand the shouts for Dyche and Howe, but I think Arsenal would be better going back to their roots, like in the George Graham days and appointing Sam Allardyce. That football just seems to work for Arsenal.

 

I think they will.

Plus the Chavs are in trouble tomorrow, they got done by Burnley at their place earlier this season.

 

Eddie Howe...he's orite, deserves a crack at a bigger team but...I don't rate him as highly as some folk do.

 

I rate Dyche higher than Howe....id want to play for Dyche, Howe would get on my nerves eventually, I can tell.

 

That's the only down side.

 

A87? <you>

 

Impossible to know how either would do but both have done brilliant jobs.

Howe plays much better football though. Would have loved him here at some point but will never happen.
