I wish to make the below predictions.
1. The team to make the 4th spot will need about 75 points.

3. Tottenham and Liverpool might just get back into contention for the titles.
4. The teams battling for title will also find themselves battling for the 4th spot.
5. It's not predictable who will win the title.
6. Arsenal might find themselves battling for the fourth spot.
7. From 1, Manu will not get the fourth spot.
I might be wrong but then again I may be right.
Positively criticize my post by stating your own predictions.

So far my predictions are holding.

Realistically, finally arsenal have now owned the fourth spot.
There are out of the title race. .. No 2 ways about it...
Chelsea are now firm favourites to lift the title, if you consider the remaining matches.
Manchester City and Liverpool are also in contention despite the consideration that they will be each facing 3 of the big 5 in the remaining features.
For arsenal, just pray that United does not win the CL..... Shame on you
Yes we all would like to dream, but this is the reality check.


There are 8 games to go, all the top four teams will finish well above the 75 pt mark you've indicated.

Tottenham's next game is against L'pool at Anfield, before that match they'll probably be 9 pts from 4th place.....i don't think they'll be a threat. This season they'll be no battle for 4th place.

Ati we've owned 4th spot, L'pool are just 3 pts ahead with games against City and Chelsea to come....one or even two of the top three teams will definitely drop no doubt about that.


Agreed... how about you???

And Finally, may I remind all of us, but most importantly the Manures, that while you are busy analyzing Arsenal's loss, City are preparing.
You have a derby on Tuesday, that is tomorrow. Any predictions?

To quote something I read this morning:

*Forgive me for a brief return to the Oxlade-Chamberlain incident, but a minor point - which the exact interpretation of the laws of the game would suggest doesn't matter - but the midfielder clearly handled with the intent to deny Chelsea a goal. He wasn't aware that the ball was going wide, so from a moral perspective (let's pretend that we care about that for a moment) a red card was the right decision for the cheating scallywag.

Well atleast someone who has been a ref before agrees with me anyway if Arsenal don't appeal then he'll miss one game.....!

changes nothing, Ose! Sad Sad Sad

Lakini FA cup ni lazima!

@ your current form, I wish you God's speed, because you need it.


Saturday's result had nothing to do with form, it was a case of Arsenal capitulating in an away match against the big teams AGAIN.....we've had no problems beating the small/mid-table teams that is why we are still within touching distance of the top despite those three heavy loses. A win against Swansea tomorrow will close the gap to 4 pts so we are not really out of the title race. Like i said if we maintain that 4 pt gap after the Man City game at the Emirates on Saturday then we would be one of the favorites for the title. As for the FA cup, hakuna wasi wasi....this season hakuna mambo ya trophy drought!



Pray Pray Pray

I hope that happens. Otherwise i see a situation where a number of fans will commit suicide at the end of this season.smile

March was always going to be difficult for Arsenal but April and May not so much.....with Ozil, Ramsey and Wilshere all expected back soon we can win most (if not all) of our fixtures.

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has explained not shaking hands with Arsene Wenger at the end of their thrashing of Arsenal.

Mourinho had already disappeared down the players' race when the final whistle blew.

"The game was over and my wife did not know the result.

"She always expects me to call her and that was today's (Saturday) case. She does not watch football and in that way I put an end to her insecurity.

"And if I can do that two minutes earlier, then that's even better."Laughing out loudly Laughing out loudly Applause

Arsenal lost to Stoke and A villa (not exactly big teams) and drew with WBA who are relegation bound.
Am not sure about FA cup anymore having lost to minnows (Bradford, Birmingham) in recent past. Arsenal. will start winning trophies again only if Wenger leaves in summer.

Chelsea also lost to Villa and Stoke and drew with WBA who are relegation bound so that means nothing. However there is a mental block against the direct title rivals.

Le Prof has stalled on the new contract because it ostensibly contains a clause that limits his control of transfers. Major investors such as Usmanov feel that Wenger has failed to use the transfer kitty (140 M pounds) and would like the responsibility handled by a technical director.
Wenger can't settle for nusu mkate and will most likely shift to Monaco or PSG with Bacary Sagna in tow. The french contingent is likely to leave.

Name a team in the EPL that has lost 6-3,5-1 and 6-0 in the last 4 months. Mental block or not something is seriously wrong at the emirates. Players like Ozil,Kolscieny,Ramsey(have I left any other world calss player?) will not be part of such horrors for long and will ask for transfers very soon.

Did you check who else lost to Villa and Stoke, or what you call 'not exactly big teams'. At times its good to do some research before posting.

I didn't because that was besides the point. My point was that Arsenal can still capitulate against Wigan or Hull city in the FA cup. Going with your logic,Wigan beat Man city.

@Kaka it was your logic so don't try to twist it ati its someone's else logic and as you correctly say Wigan also beat Man City. So any team can beat another though it will not happen all the time. and yes Arsenal have mental block against those teams away from home.
