Half way now so a good point to have a debate on top and bottom
For me,this is how I see it ending up
Man City
Man utd
Tottenham
Chelsea
Liverpool
Arsenal
------------
QPR
Bolton
Blackburn
It's going to go to the wire but I think the derby game at the Etihad will be the pivotal game which I think we'll win
Top 6 bottom 3

How much will not finishing in the top 4 affect arsenal financially?

Not at all.
They have had yrs at the CL trough along with the rest of the Sky 4.
And they are probably the best placed PL team financially (even with their stadium debts) .

Wishful thinking Batmanu
You'll need to be rid of Wenger to get 4th

Wishful thinking indeed but I refuse to accept seeing Spurs finish ahead of us. I do think my top 3 is correct though.

Oh and bottom 3, I will go with what I said at the start of the season
Swansea
Blackburn
Norwich

Maybe
Think the injuries and big away games will take its toll on utds challenge but their experience in this situation is the saving grace for them
Spurs would need to implode badly from here not to be top 4,maybe If Harry ends up in the scrubs for Easter?

impossible to call which of the two Manchester teams will win it. City have slightly better players and easier fixtures but United have a manager and a squad that is used to the run in. They also have a winning ethos.
I remember the run ins of both 92 when we lost out to Leeds and 93 when we won it. Every game was painful to watch because of nerves and I am sure that transmits itself to the pitch. Once you have won it a couple of times that goes away for the fans and the players.

The January PL stat has spoken.
We are even planning for a sequence of 12-14 pts out of 27, and we will still be on schedule.
Even better, Spurs top 5 clashes in phase 2 occur at the same time as many of our top 4 rivals' equivalent games.
