Who will finish 4th?

[Chris O'Connor]

Has anybody seen arsenals next three games compared with ours?
If they lose and we win we go above them this month with them still to come here

Great point Kev50 I reckon they're the team now most likely to fall out of the top four, if Spurs, or in my opinion more likely, ourselves climb above any of the current top four.

It's not though likely to be quite the nightmare sequence of three games for Arsenal as because Swansea were knocked out of the Europa League, Arsenal v Swansea is now likely to be rearranged in the midweek immediately preceding their game with City.

However we too are likely to play one of our games in hand, probably the Palace game but could be the one we were originally scheduled to play next weekend in that same midweek.

Would you take 4th only if it meant that lot winning the league?

If we qualified for the CL proper then yes, the money could do us so many favours and help us a lot, imo, they're gonna get CL anyway, so it's irrelevant where they finish, and at least the pain, would be dampened by the fact, we can make our claim on the big stage.

I think their season has been quite fortuitious anyway, i mean you don't win the league with just luck, but even their first goal today spawny and ANOTHER penalty? They wouldn't retain the title anyway.

Just for the record, i don't think we'll finish 4th, and i don't think they'll win the league.

Arsenals season rides on the cup game vs us, they lose that quickly followed by getting dumped out of Europe by bayern and game ina row vs Spuds away, chelsea away - a cert 0 points their followed by city at the emirates and by the time we play them in the league they could be in absolute free-fall

Gunners fans are in the HURT right now. They know they are in deep deep

Gunners fans are in the HURT right now. They know they are in deep deep s•••.

not any different to season's gone by. all they needed to do was buy a top class striker in jan, wenger mucked that up totally.

4th is out of reach for us TBF, too many points to make up. Liverpool on one heck of a run.

 

[TheFinnFan]

Ok, sorry for bad language lads.

yea, they are in amazing form, no need to deny that

 

[deipnosophist]

Arsenal looking more and more like 4th. Liverpool are genuine contenders.

 

[Darth Toffeeman]

Arsenal are the only slightly vulnerable one looking at the run in. As mentioned regarding would we take fourth now if it meant them winning it... I would as long as we picked up the FA Cup too. That would be a hugely successful campaign for us, so stuff what anyone else did if we could pull it off.

Arsenal look super shakey. You never know

 

[graeme2911]

Saying that the Europa league is a burden is chuffing idiotic. You wouldn't say that about playing in the CL.
Thurs-Sun is no different to Weds-Sat is it?

And tiredness is just an excuse used by managers when they can't cope. Never moan when they are doing well in it.

I'd love to see us win the Europa league even if it were to our detriment in the domestic league (which it shouldn't as we have a positive manager who doesn't whinge and gets on with it).

 

[TheFinnFan]

If RS keep their form theyll be champions. Simple as.
Pact with the devil is paying off it seems.

Anyways, we are still in the cup race, still fighting for europe place, even...for CL*
* far fetched i know, but stranger things have happene

 

[Big Fat Sam]

Arsenal look super shakey. You never know

I'm also keenly looking at this...

 

[Big Fat Sam]

Arsenal's next games are Spurs a, Chelsea a, City h, Everton a... they could lose all four. And if so, we'll be right on their tails if we keep up our home form.

RS will get third imo. We could, really could, be right on Arsenal's tails...
