Top 4 update

I might as well blog again about Arsenal's struggle to finish in the top four. A week ago I wrote that Arsenal have to overtake Villa within the next six league games otherwise that's it. Yesterday the Gunners drew again 0-0 at the Emirates to Fulham and I thought it was over there and then. HOWEVER... a miracle could have just happened. Villa have just drawn 2-2 at home to Stoke, having been 2-0 up with two minutes to go. This has 'turning point' written all over it (at least that's what I'm telling myself for time being anyway).

Villa don't have another 'easy' game like that for quite some time. The gap remains six points. If Arsenal can somehow muster a few goals from somewhere, will Villa start to buckle under the pressure?

Villa:

1 March v Stoke (h) DREW 2-2
4 March v Man City (a)
15 March v Spurs (h)
22 March v Liverpool (a)
5 April v Man Utd (a)
12 April v Everton (h)

Arsenal:

28 Feb v Fulham (h) DREW 0-0
3 March v West Brom (a)
14 March v Blackburn (h)
21 March v Newcastle (a)
4 April v Man City (h)
11 April v Wigan (a)

What is the difference between an "Arsenal supporter" and an "optimist"?

Optimists don't believe in miracles.

little lol mb.

chelsea have no probs.

wenger=winger.

And I am led to beleive your club has been caught out the wrong end of a property "boom".

Latest rumour is that they will be moving back to woolwich, and playing their home matches on hackney marshes.

TG. :-).
