Title run-in

[Guest 70400]

Right, we're down to the last 10 games...

 

Arsenal	   Man Utd		Chelsea

						 Derby   (H)
Wigan   (A)   Derby   (A)	Sundl'd (A)
'Boro   (H)   Bolton  (H)	Spurs   (A)
Chelsea (A)   L'pool  (H)	Arsenal (H)
Bolton  (A)   Villa   (H)	Boro	(H)
L'pool  (H)   'Boro   (A)	M. City (A)
Man Utd (A)   Arsenal (H)	Wigan   (H)
Reading (H)   B'burn  (A)	Everton (A)
Derby   (A)   Chelsea (A)	Man Utd (H)
Everton (H)   West Ham(H)	N'castle(A)
Sundl'd (A)   Wigan   (A)	Bolton  (H)

 

Don't know where the hell to begin with this. We're all playing each other, and United and Arsenal have to play you lot too.

 

Chelsea have Spurs, City and Everton all away from home, whereas three of our four toughest games (Liverpool, Villa and Arsenal, but not Chelsea) are all at home.

 

But then Chelsea get to play both us and Arsenal at the Bridge, which probably counts for quite a lot.

 

Arsenal have got the fewest home games left. They have to come to Old Trafford and go to Stamford Bridge, which can't be easy.

 

Still, it's definitely the most exciting season for a while. Too bad you're not involved.

There must be a scent of glory to be hunted.

You can ask the mods for that.

The "experts" on Sunday supplement are saying Arsenal are now starting to suffer because they can't rotate their squad to the same degree as Utd and Chelsea. I thought rotation was the root of all evil?

If one club wins when United/Arsenal play each other, I think they will win the league.

Was a horrible show today. Usually there's a broadsheet type to add a voice of sanity but today it was 3 tabloid goons just s***ting on Arsenal and Liverpool. Everton will finish above Liverpool my a***.

Be Interesting if we can beat Manchester United and Arsenal - and if Chelsea and the Mancs and Arsenal all draw with each other with us winning the games in hand.

 

What effect would that have on the top of the table?

[surf]

If we win our two games in hand we're 12 points behind Arsenal.

Beating ManU and Arsenal (both away) would leave us 9 points behind.

If Chelsea and Arsenal and the Mancs all draw each other that means they lose 4 points each, that leaves us only 5 points behind.

 

IT'S ON!!!

won't be great after we lose today

[Andy @ Allerton]

won't be great after we lose today

 

Muwahahahahaha

When you look at the table it makes me so sad. If we'd have not had that massive run of draws we'd be right up there. They were teams we can easily beat as well, so f***ing annoying.

Slagging Benitez again, then praising Moyes and Kenwright for being patient and building a team

Its the Mancs title, all the way, Arsenal are going to implode and Chelsea are just far too back. The Mancs are the defending Champions and have plenty of experience to call upon. Actually just give the title to them now.

Predicting disaster to have any chance of it being averted?

That coveted fourth spot is Liverpool's. You might as well assign that CL spot to them now.
