I did have Arsenal down as nailed

on for Top Four, now that they have seemingly skipped clear of the chasing pack, and thinking they had an easy run in. I then had a look at who they have played in this so called good run they have had, and who they have left to play, and I then realised I was a bit premature in my presumption that Arsenal were certainties.

Since mid December they have played practically nearly all sides in the bottom half a dozen, beating Watford, Brentford, Norwich, Leeds, and drawing with Burnley. They have also beaten Wolves twice, and lost to the only half decent side they have faced Man City. And although Spurs lost to Wolves, they have also beaten them twice this season. So on a form line very little to choose between the two teams, Spurs lost at Burnley, but beat City.

Of Arsenal`s remaining fixtures they still have four away London derbies to play at Spurs, Chelsea, West Ham and Palace. Liverpool, Leicester and Man United at home. And some more tricky away games at Villa, Southampton and Newcastle. So looking at those fixtures there is plenty of scope for Arsenal to drop lots of points.

Not saying Spurs will be anywhere near 4th, I had them down for 7th/8th at best, but the teams around that position are if anything even worse than Spurs, and are just as inconsistent, so just maybe Spurs may finish higher.

It gives me hope though that Arsenal finishing 4th may not be quite as clear cut as it looks this morning.

Anyway I have showed my faith in Spurs by purchasing tickets for the last three home games of the season, Brighton, Leicester and Burnley, this morning. Finally maybe get to see a Saturday 3pm kick off.

Arsenal have definitely improved. Unless they have some sort of end of season capitulation then they'll trump their last league finish and points tally by a fair bit. I mean they've won 9 matches in their last 11. That's the sort of consistency we need.

A 2-0 win for Spurs over Arsenal will wipe out there so called unassailable goal difference.

Spurs are the form team. Nine goals scored, none conceeded last two games. And they still have the bottom six to play yet.

If Woolwich get 4th it will be nothing short of a mockery and completely unfair, they feigned injuries to get a game against Spurs postponed which they would have likely lost.

Why do you think they have their own terrace song....you know " Same old Arsenal, always cheating"

It is something in bread at this club over many years and taught to every player that ever joins them. Look to gain an advantage at every opportunity and no matter the cost to our reputation. Chris even thier manager cheats as a ball boy if it gives them an edge.

Spurs fans crowing about beating riff raff like Everton and Leeds. Snapped back to reality yesterday.

Arsenal just chugging along.

Liverpool next for us, will be a tough game. Hopefully the Arsenal can get a point.
