Top 4 run in
I've just been comparing the final fixtures of the top 4 sides, there's still every chance we could make up a lot of ground. Man Utd and Arsenal have 3 fixtures against top 4 opposition, whilst we and Chelsea have 2 fixtures. I don't think there's even a slim chance we can win the league but I think there's absolutely every chance we could finish within 6 points of the eventual winner.

Re: Top 4 run in
Christ, it really could open up for Chelsea couldn't it? Also, we have a genuine chance of overtaking Arsenal on April 13th.

Re: Top 4 run in
If we beat Arsenal and United then it is game on for us too.... Chelsea will lose to Tottenham this year.

If that happens, I don't know which I'd feel most strongly - shock or elation. Despite all the recent positives and Arsenal's stumbles, I'd be very surprised if we finished higher than fourth. If Rafa can do anything better after the shit he's had to contend with, it'll be truly remarkable.

Re: Top 4 run in
I've been thinking it for a while but with some luck and if we maintain our current form I don't see why we can't sneak it.

Re: Top 4 run in
I still think fourth should be the aim at the moment.

There's no form when it comes to winning at OT or Arsenal away so expecting anything positive is not realistic..... yet.

If we win on Sunday then it will be interesting but that's a huge IF.

I just don't think the other teams will drop enough points, even if we win all of our remaining matches, and they take points off each other.

If we carried on with this form and beat Utd, the Arse and shite and carried on winning (tough I know) then not only will Chelsea feel the pressure but Utd and the Arse will wobble more than the weebles. If Chelsea maintain there home form by drawing against the Arse and UTD, Everton still push on and get draw against them and the Arse. Then we may see some results that we would not expect. I'm putting some money down on us winning the league!!!

I think I saw it as 100/1 yesterday. Does anybody know if it's possible to each way an outright winner on The Prem?

Mate, if that happens, it'll far surpass Istanbul as a miraculous sporting come-back.

Re: Top 4 run in
I done the league predictor thing on the BBC webiste and the Chavs won, with us third, a point behind Utd and 5 points of Chelsea.

Arsenel were a point behind us.

I agree there it has to be one step at a time. If Everton beat West Ham as exected Saturday and we fail to win at Old Trafford (a draw woluld be a satisfactory result for us there) they come to Anfield knowing a win will take them above us. We have to concentrate on seeing them bastards off first then if someone above us slips and we can get any higher its a bonus. Personally I cant see all three dropping enough points for us to overhaul them all, and looking at the fixtures Chelsea are the most likely champions.

I never bet any more, I used when I came out for my day trips but never won anything. But I will this time, I have this semi tingling feeling that I am comparing to Istanbul when we were 2-3 down and I started to believe.

10 quid on 100/1 get in, where do you see that Dirk?
