10 Games To Go....

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Ok. So we failed to smash the scum who were clearly totally beatable and dogshitte Sunday. This has pushed us 5 points below the chavs in 4th and more importantly, 7 points adrift of the scum lying in 3rd. So the question is, can we realistically look forward to holding down a CL spot? I use the term realistically considering the current lot we have.

With 10 games remaining, mathematically, securing 3rd/4th is still very much a possibility. However, I think the chavs will go on and secure 3rd this season, so I won't spend too much time looking at the prospects of finishing ahead of them.

That leaves us with the scum. They are not so good - average at best - and will definitely do their bit to bottle it. Barring two dire defensive moments in Sunday's NLD, where we gifted them goals even a neanderthal could score (and man, did he score), we were always looking the better team. For a team touted to be on the up and up, they were absolute dogshitte. Ffs, we looked like the home team, controlling the middle of the park and tempo of the game. And their inbred fans were uber silent until our world famous defence stuck to the script, thereby bringing those vile and odious bastards to life.

Based on the foregoing, I'd say the 4th place trophy is still up for grabs. Sort it out boys.

It's not over but I don't expect us to do it anymore. Chelsea have a stronger squad and are still capable of getting results despite Rafa, while Sperz are riding a huge wave of confidence right now.

It doesn't matter what they do though, if we keep stinking the joint out we have no chance anyway.

we can dig out tottenham all we want but the facts are they will perform better across this season. tottenham are great counter attackers and proved that on sunday, getting in more shots from doing that whilst we bitched around with the ball again.

top four was gone the moment rvp bolted out the door and we do not have enough consistency to get together the run of wins that we need. if that was the case, we would've built on our previous three and beaten spurs on sunday.

nothing will change until wenger leaves and regardless of a summer 'clearout' the best we'll achieve again next season is top four.

If you're still in with a shout of 4th, then we're still in with a shout of 5th.

Not that it will happen...

I think we have blown any small chance we had of top 4. It has already been stated but we lack consistency and to be brutally honest I cannot see this team going on a solid run.

Both Chelsea and to a lesser degree Spurs are also inconsistent but they both have more balanced teams IMHO.

What worries me more than anything is us getting back into the top 4.

I think spurs, chelsea, arsenal will finish 3rd, 4tf, 5th. However you cant tell yet in what order.
Arsenal arent playing as badly as the press would ahve you think. Spurs always tire and chelsea are a mess.

Everton are alreadyu creaeking and ahve now lost key players and Livverpool remain clod in clown shoes.

Just not fussed anymore. 4th, 5th whatever. It won't make a blind bit of difference to how I feel about this club and current crop of shite! They say we need Champs League to attract players but it's not as if we've bought players that are worthy of the competition. We'll be in the bargin bin as usual come summer trying to spend the bare minimum.

It would be interesting to see what they'd charge for Europa League games.

Some how, that bare minimum has turned out to be a considerable amount of money. Wenger has splurged a bit, but it gets masked by him spreading huge amounts of cash thinly about on a coterie of useless oafs unworthy of wearing our shirt.

We are now feeling the effects of this cock-up, but unfortunately, he'll still be here come summer repeating the same mistakes whilst spouting his usual spiel to justify his deluded philosophy.

Inspite of all this, finishing less than 4th, which also means finishing lower than the scum, is too disturbing a thought - even though it's seeming more and more a reality these days, one which us fans can do fuck all about.

I acknowledge that it's a bit foolhardy to put any semblance of hope/faith in the shower of shitte that currently adorns our shirt, and missing 4th will probably hasten Lord Goon's exit, but I can't help wanting us to do well every game and also being a part of the biggest cup competition in the club footie, though we haven't been a force in it and one could justifiably argue we're only there for the financial rewards and to make up the numbers.

Agree with this. In terms of whether we can finish top 4:

Spurs next 6 games:

Livepool (A)
Fulham (H)
Swansea (A)
Everton (H)
Chelsea (A)
Man City (H)

Our next 6 games:

Swansea (A)
Reading (H)
West Brom (A)
Norwich (H)
Everton (H)
Fulham (A)

I would expect Spurs to drop more points in that run than us. After that we have Utd at home who will, by then, have all but wrapped up the title and hopefully be in Cup mode.

I don't trust us to put much of a run together but IMO it might be quite close.
