    I'm rather more confident when we play Chelsea at the Bridge. Even Mourinho's only ever beaten us once there (thanks to an offside goal that came off Drogba's shin). We'd do well to win, but we'd have to play very badly to lose.

    The City game I can't call. We could lose 0-5 if we don't keep our defensive shape or we could squeeze out a narrow win if we start like we did against bayern Munich.

    The Spurs game, like many have said on here, is looking like an Arsenal win (is 3 wins in one season against them too much to ask for, though?)

    Everton's the one we'll lose.

    At the time of the draw against Chelsea, I too thought that we'd have more luck away at the Bridge as Chelsea would be more adventurous, but we just do not have the pace to exploit that now. Also, our strikers need around 3 or 4 gilt-edged chances to score one and you just don't get that level of opportunity against Chelsea.

    7 from 15. Top 4 winning form.
    My prediction is that we might win some of those games, we might lose some of them. We may even draw some. But none of it counts for s**t really because we'll finish 4th regardless.

    Hmm, Spurs are only six points behind us now, they play us at home in a few weeks and have a fairly easy run-in. I really hope our team (and manager) aren't as complacent as some of the comments on here. It's going to be very tight indeed for 4th place as it was always going to be.

    It makes Wenger's breathtaking lethargy and arrogance during the transfer window all the more maddening. Maybe this is the year it finally catches up with him?

    Haven't we been on the verge of it catching up with us for the last ten years?

    And no run-ins are easy. If we do go by that logic though, ours is too. So we'll finish third comfortably.

    How is our run-in supposedly tough and Tottenham's is not? I don't get it.

    I don't mind wild, irrational jumps in sense and logic.

    As long they are applied equally and consistently.

    Yes, both teams have decent run-ins from mid April (barring us playing Everton away, which will be a to

    Spurs still have to go to Chelsea and Anfield as well as play us so i wouldnt say their un in is easy.

    However, i think 3 wins from our next 5 games (tough) would more or less guarantee top 4.
