Arsenal finishing 3rd? Pah, I wish.

Can't see Chelsea dropping out of the top 4, as they have too much quality.

Spurs are unbeaten in 10 games, defence has improved, their pressing is excellent and they have a match winner in Bale. Unless something drastic happens, I can still see them finishing 4th, but I hope I'm wrong.

Arsenal just aren't consistent enough. Yesterday we had to play the final 20 minutes with 10 men, but it was one of our best defensive displays this season. I honestly didn't think we had it in us to dig that deep. And weirdly enough Sagna's best performance this season came out of position! But then on another day, we're leaking goals for fun. We still aren't making them most out of the clear cut chances we get.

City should still finish 2nd, but only just, I reckon.

In my opinion, the table will look like this:

1. United
2. City
3. Chelsea
4. Spurs
5. Arsenal

A lot can happen between now and the end of the season, though.

January last year, I thought it'd take a miracle to get 4th and we ended up getting 3rd, so who knows?

So we get only another 22 points in the last 13 games, will make for a depressing run in

6 teams not breaking the 'magic 40 points' to avoid relegation?

could be right but is that a record?

Swansea will beat Liverpool I imagine as it would be so typical for a team to beat their ex manager

Any top team they face at home they have a good chance of beating but probably not away from home

No chance in hell we are finishing 8 points of united. It will be close 30 points

I was a bit pessimistic on Uniteds results I guess.

Hate to say it but I think Arsenal will get a top 4 spot comfortably. The rest of their fixtures are pretty easy, and they've done well to pick up this many points after the toughest run of games.
Top 4 is between Chelsea and us imo

Aren't United on target for a record points total?

84 seems low,

Did this myself last night.

"All" that is required is win our homes games (incl. City) and draw our away games.

With City winning every other game we still win the league by 3 points.

Home games (7): Everton, Norwich, Reading, City, Villa, Chelsea, Swansea

Away games (6): QPR, West Ham, Sunderland, Stoke, Arsenal, Baggies

Completely unbiased

Of course...

I don't think this is too unrealistic:

Home games (7): Everton-D, Norwich-W, Reading-W, City-D, Villa-W, Chelsea-L, Swansea-W

Away games (6): QPR-W, West Ham-D, Sunderland-W, Stoke-D, Arsenal-W, Baggies-D

Win the league by a point

We will not finish 8 points behind United, I know that much. I'm expecting them to make 90 points pretty comfortably.

I see top 4 being very close between us, Tottenham and Chelsea. You'd expect Chelsea, with some of the exceptional players that they have, to easily sew up 3rd but Benitez is a poor manager and I wouldn't be surprised to see them miss out again. As for us and Tottenham, a lot will hinge on the derby game at WHL. If we can come away with a draw (or better) then I'd be extremely more confident of a top 4 spot. If we can start games as well as we've been starting our second halves (like yesterday for example) then I expect us to finish the season very strongly.

I don't see the difference between us three being anything more than 3/4 points. It'll be that tight IMO.

Just made my predictions, always hard to do this as you kind of take current form into consideration when maybe you shouldn't. I hope I'm wrong...

1. Man united +43. 93
2 man city. +40. 83
3. Chelsea. +36. 75
4. Arsenal. +31. 68
5. Tottenham. +17. 67
6. Liverpool. +24. 65
7. Everton. +12. 59

17. Wigan. -27. 31
18. Reading -26. 30
19. QPR. -27. 30
20. Aston villa. -40. 28


Digger, I see what you meant by swansea's run-in, I've got them making it to 52 points

Swansea have done well this season but they have the toughest run-in out of any team in the league...

posted on 10/2/13

Liverpool have as good a run-in as you could ask for

But we took too long to settle into the new style and get reinforcements in attack. Too much to do.

You always get those strange results in march/April when a team suddenly picks up form like Wigan did last season so always hard to predict, also man united's champs league participation (I think they'll knock Real Madrid out)
