last few games "Nerves"!!

[Lord Nelson]

I dont know how anyone else feels but although we are 5 points clear of the scum, I am still a bit nervous about our chances of finishing 3rd!

I have supported Arsenal for 30 years and been through many stresses when going for the League titles and various FA Cups, but without sounding negative, we have been known to make mistakes in recent times when we look like we are finally geting it together!

I have looked at our final games, and on paper they look ok (apart from Chelsea) but I will be biting my nails at every game until the end of the season!

[Cripps_orig]

With this Arsenal side, who knows whats next?

We can go on and win them all or not win any of them

Thats the problem. We are inconsistent. I think we'll do it but we will lose at least one more game this season. Hope its not v Chelsea, prob be at Stoke

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ashburton I presume. I don't think we'll have much of a problem finishing top three now personally, so virtually there for top four. We only need four wins to be assured of it and one of Newcastle and Chelsea would've dropped out of it by then anyway (they play each other).

[Grebbo]

I actually think the Chelsea game is one of the easier games. They're gonna be knackered after playing Barca a few days earlier.

Stoke and WBA away look like the most probable defeats.

Win our next two home games and I think we've got 3rd.

[Marc Overmars]

As long as we beat Wigan, which we really ought to, then I would say 3rd place is as good as done.

[Syn]

I said before the Man City game that we'd need to win 5 out of 7.

2 games later, it's come down to 3 out of 5.

But given the way Tottenham and Chelsea have been playing, I'm not even sure that is required. Newcastle will definitely tail off given the tough matches they have.

The two away games are tricky but just focus on winning the home games (I agree with Grebbo, I'm not even sure the Chelsea game is tough. Certainly not tougher than, say, Everton away) and we're fine.

[LDG]

One game at a time, like the boss says.

3 points v Wigan please.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Beat Wigan then we go into the chavs game with the pressure on them, beat them then were should be guranted a CL place.

3 points v Wigan please.

We aren't playing though so we can look ahead with predictions. One game at a time for supporters is surely a really dull way of enjoying football?

Not if you're pre-disposed to butterflies and nerves

I just want us to get past Wigan...

At the end of the day we need 10 points from 15 to say we're defo in the top four....so three wins and a draw. I dread to think what a defeat at Chelsea and going to the Orcs at Stoke would do....therefore, I want to win against Wigan.
