Three From Five?

Adebayor ,
Adebayor ,

He used to try for Tottenham ,he don`t anymore

We are in a fight thats for sure.. as long as we can keep wining we will get 3rd. but i fear the goal difference wil eventually do us in...we will suffer for not wining games higher scores than we should have.

well next up for city is Chelski so that would have a bearing on the points difference between us and city and chelski and we have west ham away so theoritically its a 6 pointer for us other than that Citeh still have Man Utd and then they have us at the Lane so we could get above them

Chelski's run looks better apart from Citeh and Manure away they have us at the bridge .........Southampton and Liverpool away for the Blues could also put a spanner in the works so at the moment 3 from 5 might be on

Since we get to play all of our rivals for the the 2 or 3 places in the top four, our destiny is very much in our own hands.
It will be interesting to see what kind of effect being well and truly out of the title race. Will they simply implode, will they focus on the FA Cup to the detriment of the league? Wishful thinking, but not beyond the bounds of belief.
The injury to Wilshere, as much as it's a shame for England, comes at a great time.
I don't know what to make of Chelsea, apart from my long held belief that Benitez doesn't really have a clue, appears to be truer than ever. A draw between the Blues and the Sky Blues with lots of injuries on both sides, would be very nice indeed.
My money, ten pounds sterling of it, in fact, is on us nicking third. COYS.

Our remaining fixtures are tough, but remember, Arsenal, City and Everton all have to come to the Lane. A few wobbles from our rivals and we could suprise ourselves and finish 2nd! Farfetched I realise, but as long as we're focused on catching those in front of us we'll be harder to catch for those behind us. But hey OyVeh, don't count those champions league chickens. Chelski can't win it but le scum could... We just have to keep winning. COYS!

Oh and come on the VILLA. leave Arry Trotter deep in the shi7.

Ghulamville by name, glumville by nature. You need to ring the Samaratans mate, every post from you is doom and gloom. :)

to get top 4- chelse 1/5 spurs 10/11 arsenal evns according to the experts

when you look at arsenal's fixture list they have it so so much easier than us.

We have the hardest run in compared to the other top 4 contenders, so we can't afford any slip ups in games against the lesser teams, we have Arsenal (H) and Liverpool (A) in March, and Everton (H), Chelsea (A), and Man City (H) all in April. Whilst on the subject, although he is far from one of my favourite people, due respect to SAF, for the side he has picked v Everton, he could have put a stiffs side out, with a 9 point lead and Real to play on Wednesday, but he has played it fair and up until now (2-0 up at HT) it is paying off. Incidently I don't agree that it doesn't matter whether we finish 3rd or 4th. 3rd or better guarantees an entry into the group stage of the CL without a potential banana skin in a qualifier. As Everton found out these are not a forgone conclusion.

The Toffies seem to be fading, although this assessment could be premature. Ideally, Spurs and Everett both would make the top four, and in a perfect world neither Chelskum nor Farce 'n All would make the CL, but I suppose one of them must. I find myself recently disliking Chelskum even more than I do Skum, I suppose because of their capitalist gangster ownership. But I would love to the gods to find us ending up ahead of both of them and of City too. I could live happily with Everett in second and us third, but I see Everett ending fifth or sixth, Godstruth.

The day Manchester City realizes they cannot even dream about catching United, they will implode. Maybe we won´t hear the whole sound of it, but in their backstage, Mancini will be like a dead man walking even if he wins FA Cup (has anyone seen his face yesterday when Barry scored the silliest own goal I´ve seen ??) and without a steady commander players will be considering their options. Add financial fair play and Bang !!! City collapses. Maybe it won´t be Chelsea case. I guess they are playing this money-buys-throphies far too long than City and probably know how to survive. Benitez won´t be their manager next season. Again, void in the high command might do us a favour. Arsenal is the surprise package to me. Hard to be written off and always getting results here and there, like they did last saturday. As for Tottenham Hotspur, I honestly don´t fear City at the Lane as I fear Arsenal. Last two matches against City we were near a win or a decent draw. Key matches are 4: Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea and Stoke. Swansea also hard. AVB´s squad rotation will pay dividends come April. I bet we will have the best fitness levels of the league then.

Well said Peterbalb. 2nd And I thought I was an optomist lol..

Adebayor from the lane, steps on the pitch and changes the game. Great win and vital points imo. It's still very open though, not sure what’s happening to Man City but they will be upset with their loss. The way i see it anyone 8th upwards can still finnish in the qualification positions for the CL. We need to focus and keep up the results. COYS.

We've got to smash the Arsenil - we owe them for that debacle earlier in the season. If Ade had stayed on we'd have battered em!
