^ They won't be after losing to Stoke next weekend :p

Seriously though it is still possible and anything can happen... who would have thought Liverpool would have been in with a top 5 finish two months ago?
3 games left, with the most points you can finish with being 76, Man poo have 73 now and can finish with 82, Chelsea have 70 and can finish with max of 79. So looking realistically at the remaining games I think Arsenal are out of the running for the league title.

I don't care who wins it so long as it is not Man U or Arsenal :p

[Spork]

Haha, yea I am secretly hoping Chelsea take it as obviously barring a hurricane takes both Man U and Chelsea out (maybe they could do us a favour and take Man City at the same time), I doubt Arsenal will do anything toward catching Man U.

I am more interested in the battle between Pool and Spurs, of course hoping that Pool can stuff them chunts.

[LeadCollector]

It is going to make for a good run in as the bottom of the table battles will also be worth watching... Liverpool should take 5th spot, they just need to beat Tot's at Anfield. Fulham and AV should be easily despatched based on current form. Tottenham have a game in hand but have Man City and Liverpool away and two games against teams fighting to stay up so on paper you would have to give it to Liverpool.... still anything can and will happen.....

[Spork]

On paper I'd be a much happier man as Arsenal looked real good on paper a couple of months back.

[SteddieEddie]

All set up for next week then, might have to drag myself out of bed for that one.

For once, we actually did something which we were meant to do.

[Zenith]

Looked like a good set of results over the weekend (for my liking anyway)  Except would have liked to see Mancity lose.  Slim chance of Liverpool catching them as MC have a couple of challenges with Everton and spurs.  Nice to see Liverpool now putting away some 'should win' games is a comfortable way.

[Spork]

I would happily drop to fourth if it mean Liverpool made it into the top four. As in if Liverpool made it to fourth, then they would auto swap with Arsenal.

[Wandarah]

You can't be serious.

[Spork]

I hate Man City, and being in fourth means there are more Arsenal games for me to watch.

[R3DM@N]

Liverpool is all good rather them in Top 4 than Tooterz or Man City, then again I dont care as long as Man City arent there

[Spork]

^I thought you liked Tottenscrumb? Or were you just constantly trolling me?

[Wandarah]

I don't want any team at all to finish above us for any reason whatsoever.

^ Then stop supporting Arsenal :p

Twas the night before St. Totteringham's, when all through N5 Not a gooner was stirring, not even a child.
The kits were hung by the front door with care, In hopes that St Totteringham soon would be there.
The gooners were nestled all snug in their beds, While visions of Fabregas danced in their heads.
And Madam in her ‘kerchief, and I in my cap Had just settled our brains for a long late spring nap.
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter, I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash, Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.
The moon on the breast of the newly-built ground, Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects around
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear, But a shimmering saint, stood there clutching a beer.
With a red and white kit, he was looking so hot, I knew in a moment it must be St Tott.
More rapid than eagles his chanting it came, And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name!
"Now Szczęsny! now, Gaël! now, Sagna! and Song! On, Nasri! On, Jack! Cesc, now hurry along,
Eboue! Arshavin! Van Persie! Walcott! Speed him along, that splendid Saint Tott!
And then, in a twinkling, we shall hear that cry, That comes every year despite how they try,
As we leap up and down and spin all around, Down to earth St Tott will come with a bound.
He'll be dressed red and white, from his head to his foot, And 1961 embroidered on his boot.
He'll point at the number and say "See here! They failed once again, despite the 'one' in the year!"
His eyes-how they'll twinkle! his dimples how merry! His cheeks are like roses, his nose like a cherry!
His droll little mouth will draw up like a bow, And the beard of his chin will be white as some snow.
He'll be chubby and plump, a right jolly old gooner, "It comes every year, usually sooner,
They spend so much and I hope it's not rude, One time I had to poison some Italian food!"
He'll laugh and he'll laugh 'til his face turns bright red, "Their Euro hopes lying there buried and dead,
You'd think they'd be happy with Old Channel 5, Not keeping those delusional champions' hopes alive!"
He'll spring to his feet, to the team give a whistle, And away they'll all fly like the down of a thistle.
But we'll hear him exclaim, ‘ere he drives out of sight, "Happy St Totteringham's to all, and to all a good-night!"

[Spork]

What a good way to finish off St Totts with a 3-1 win.

Oh wait.

[maorifulla]

Chelsea aye

i thought they could make it close but again so close yet so far away

all credit to Man U. They win the games that count and the games they should win

I hope they rape those diving BARCA xunts
