So if you believe that, who do you believe will win the title and why?

Well I don't want to believe it but I simply can't see us doing a double over Scumchester which is what we have to do to stand any chance. So I'd say Arsenal will fall away like they always do and Man Utd will nick it. I just don't think City are quite there yet.

1. United
2. Citeh
3. Chelsea
4. Arsenal

3 and 4 could be either way though.

After watching Blackburn I definitely think we need to give Sturridge more of a go and bench Drogba and Essien, both are being pretty ineffective atm and Sturridge seems to be keen as. Heard he scored 5 in the reserves game beofre the Ipswich match. Not seeing enough of Kakuta and I think McEachran can sit in the holding role. If the league really has gone then what do we have to lose? Be interesting to see what difference (if any) Pienaar makes. Not over yet but seeing Spurs hold ManU this morning keeps it interesting.

I don't think anyone's been awesome this season so anything could happen.

They still have a lot of tough games to come though, have to play away to all the top teams.

Man U's away form has been poor, unbeaten means fk all and it won't last. They will get beat at the bridge

There, I said it.

I was concerned too - but yeah, pretty comprehensive. I don't know if the same holds for Ipswich - I hope so, it's our best route to silverware.

Surely the fact that the game V Ipswich is the last game before the final will give them enough motivation to do well.

It's at the Emirates too isn't it? Surely we will at least get lucky.

Hell yes, great weekend of results. Only bad thing is United won! :P

Second now, so all we can hope is that one team will beat United before we do.

True, but I honestly do think Arsenal NEED the title more than United, but not sure if we deserve it.

If United really do go unbeaten throughout, then I do not see them not winning it. Although I think it will be very close.

Which is something that I really like, I've always considered Man U and Arsenal to be the two big guns of the EPL, there are other teams who come and go, but MU and ARSL are the teams which will always be up there.
