Shame United have picked up some poor results lately as it would have put Chelsea under a bit of pressure. They are not looking to good at the moment and there squad could be stretched a bit being still in the FA cup and Champions League.
The chase for 4th place (not top 4)
- Thread starter Bastian
- Start date
Only if they win either CL or EL.
If an English team were to finish 5th but win the Champions League, and another English team who finish outside the top 4 win the Europa, the team in 4th does not qualify for the Champions League.
I am not sure about others but to me if there is a chance to win something, anything, even a league cup or community sheild would be nice for the fans and also cheer up the players too.
I'd take anything currently. Fantastic days out if nothing else.
I don't disagree about that if you really go for the trophy. Which involve big investment on our squad current condition.
I don't think it's worth it for us, this coming season with the huge squad building task and a World Cup mid season. It's likely more difficult than usual, especially without good foundation to rely in auto pilot mode.

Knowing us this season, we'll somehow find a way to feck up finishing 8th and end up in 7th, in the bastard conference league.
It truly is a season from hell!

I hope it's not 7th. It's amazing how Uefa managed to make and even less interesting competition than Europa League.
Having only domestic competitions really helped Arsenal this year. We’ve been able to transition to the 433 that Arteta has always wanted to play. It required work in the transfer market - but also work on the training ground - which our lighter schedule afforded us.
I don’t mind the EL. For me it’s a second tier comp that I wanted us to win when we were in it. Plus it qualifies you for the CL. The ECL is step to far for me, though. It’s literally a third rate cup. From personal experience, I’d rather finish 8th. Twice.

Spurs looked very good in the second half and your new signings are excellent additions to the team. It looks like it will be very close run thing. Also, if Arsenal beat Chelsea it could be even more interesting!!!.
I won't bet my money on Arsenal win over Chelsea. Arsenal has been extremely consistent losing against big 6.
United still not the far away and mathematically still in with a great chance.
Could be any of us Arsenal or United each team are as inconsistent as each other.

Arteta had 16 days to prepare for this Palace game, with many staying behind to work with in international break. And they lose 0-3.
2 loss in 3 games-Pressure is on Arsenal now

I'm fairly optimistic generally with Utd mate and I'd be surprised if we won more than 2/3 games for the rest of the season.
Will be a case of who is the least shit as always gets 4th. Loads of dropped points etc.
So much for games in hand…
We’re not beating Everton. Early kickoff guarantees that, can’t remember the last time we won one of those.
The difference is even Arsenal can take a beating like tonight and put it to one side and recover for the next one
With us we can't even build on an unconvincing win (Spurs)

Nah. Our players have chucked it. Arsenal (six wins in eight) and Spurs (six wins in eight) have more momentum than United (three wins in eight), too.
I think we'll do well to win more than two or three of our final eight.
Anyone that thinks we have a chance don't watch us.
/thread
Top 4 chase blown wide open as I thought would happen tonight.
United win remaining fixtures they could just scrape through.
Time for these boys to step up and prove worthy of the Jersey.

Other teams dropping points is all well and good but the odds are we’ll struggle against Everton, manage to lose at home to Norwich and then get pummelled by Liverpool.
Definitely still have a chance 3 points behind Tottenham with 8 games left, be wonderful if Ronaldo could get us 4th place.
My prediction going well so far
. Just need to drop some points v Brighton or Southampton and they will be right back in it. Come on Arsenal Lego PepGimme some of whatever this guy is smoking.
Take it you haven’t watched us that much this season?
Haha, I know it's a stretch, but factually it can still happen.
It's very unlikely we can even beat Everton so that will be the end of it.

CP is a hard game. The race is always open.
Remember though the fixture lists have fecked Everton over and they play this Weds as well so I’m hopeful we can actually win a game. There’s life in the old dog yet.
Haha do you really see us winning at Emirates, Anfield even places like Goodison and Selhurst Park because I don't
Come on guys there definitely is a good chance there, it’s not like we have been losing or getting tanked. We usually should win if we put our chances away, really need to take our chances from now till the end of the season.
No chance. Nobody cares.
Maybe drop some points but it’s not a forgone conclusion.
Keep taking the drugs lads
I’d love to be proven wrong but I just cannot trust these group of players to deliver when the opportunity arises.
Yeah too many yellow streaks in these players
If we're capable to win the remaining fixtures, we wouldn't have been in this position to begin with.
Also no consistency whatsoever. A great result in one of those difficult game can easily undone by dropping point to a lesser team.
I am more inclined to trust stranger now, more than I trust this lot playing for the shirt/badge.
This season reminds me of LvG's last for us where none of the clubs wanted to get the fourth spot.
We would be ahead of them if we hadn't missed open goals and other sitters a month or two ago.
Now its too late, the players don't give a shit anymore, not that they did much before.

There is zero chance Arsenal will win every game. Arsenal will drop points just like other clubs. There is no easy game in EPL. Game in hand doesn't mean points
