We may yet finish behind Tottenham

Looking at the run-in, we have trickier games. Their games all seem fairly simple, apart from Villa away. We on the other hand have City and Chelsea at home, and Stoke away. Now I know anybody can drop points against anybody in the league, but we really need to win all of our games to ensure 3rd place (cliche?).

Spurs fixtures :

Swansea H
Sunderland A
Norwich H
QPR A
Blackburn H
Villa A
Fulham H
Bolton A

On paper they do look easier, but they still have hard ones such as Sunderland away, villa away and all the relegation fighting teams really. I doubt they will finish 3rd. Don't forget that they are on 5 games winless run too.

tottenham has a really easy run of fixtures.
but on the other hand we might finish second now
if we win our remaining fixtures

Let's say they get 18 pts from their games (which is a lot honestly), we can still get 15 points (very possible) and finish 3rd on GD.

We may still win the league as well. Seriously though, if we play like we have been playing lately, I don't think we'd be losing vs Chelsea or Man City.

cant see man utd dropping 13 points.but man city can certainly drop 10 points now.they seems to have lost their steam

They havr to face 4 teams who are fighting for their premier league lives, not to mention a very good swansea team and a stubborn fulham and sunderland. These games seem easy on paper but lets not get carried away and assume a very fatigued 5pur2 team is going to win all their remaining fixures.

I can see them carrying on this winless run...Swansea have had some good games against bigger teams this term...sunderland could very well take 3 from them,Norwich and QPR will be where they pick up points Blackburn have been a big pain in the arse to them over the seasons..draw here,a win at villa and draw at Fulham..Bolton I would say spurs win...
So pos 14 points from those...

Think we could see a draw from city and I fancy us to turn chelsea over again...pick these two off and I think we could carry on our winning ways...

I would happily take a draw with City and a win against Chelsea, and then at least 14 points from the remaining 6 games. I think it would take Tottenham a small miracle to get third if we manage that.

4 Chelsea FC 41:26 42
5 Newcastle United 34:30 39
6 Liverpool FC 28:21 38
7 Arsenal FC 39:33 37 (17 behind City)

today (matchday 30):

3 Arsenal FC 61:39 58 (12 behind City)
4 Tottenham Hotspur 53:35 55
5 Chelsea FC 49:34 50
6 Newcastle United 41:41 47

To be honest I didn't expect this one coming.

So while we have gotten 21 points, the others:

- Tottenham - 6 points
- Chelsea - 8 points
- Liverpool - 4 points
- Newcastle - 8 points

Amazing!
