no chance. finishing 3rd and a whipping the club in shape during the summer will see a lot of kissy kissy hug hug

Well if Spurs beat MU today (yep as a city fan that's what I'm really hoping (now I await Russ's comment on that )) then it'll be a harder job and will put more pressure on both MU and Arsenal..

I do worry though with Arsenal because currently they seem too reliant on RVP the same way City was last year with Tevez.. Fine if he's fit and playing well but just one knock and there could be problems and there's lots of games left for teams to start sliding down a table..

IF

Probably the Same IF as Arsenal winning a trophy this year

Feel sorry for AVB. Undermined by the players. Di Matteo will have no authority may as well just go ahead and name Terry and Lampard as managers.

very true.

Arsenal are targeting top 4. Any chance of catching Spurs is just a bonus. Arsenal are not Chelsea, AW won't be fired.

I am not a Chelsea fan, but l am gutted for the guy, its the players that think they rule the world, Lampard for example was dropped to the bench, oh what a cry baby.
John Terry walks around like lord muck.

The manager has been grossly undermined by the players, and that cannot be allowed to happen at a club.

That Russian geezer thinks that he can win everything going, who ever takes over at the club, l think the players should interview them - its makes me sick when players control the club.

As, for the Spurs game today, it will be hard game, and l don't expect us to win, l say a 2 - 2 draw.

I put Man Utd to win 2-1 in my predictor...but want tottenham to win

[Arthurgray50@blu]

Colin25, we need a draw or a win NOT lose, to keep up with the top four especially with that horrible wenger whinges winning.

Pobrebnyak is having fun at Fulham scoring a hat trick with Fulham currently 4-0 up

Good line from BBc website, and so true
