I wouldn't swap our run in and position with anyone.
Pool are too far behind.
Spurs have hardest run in by far and the FA cup.
ps - bookies favourites means fuck all. Utd were odds on last night.
We have been favourites all season. Etc etc.

lionheart said:No, you are not correct in saying that. Spurs are two points ahead and with a vastly superior goal difference so fourth place is currently in their hands.
No - you are both wrong.
4th place is still in Spurs AND City's hands as if both win all their games. They will finish 4th.<br /><br />-- Wed Mar 31, 2010 1:58 pm --<br /><br />
Wheelsy said:Well if you check the link, I've predicted the exact same finish. Right down to the same results as yourself.
We wont lost to a Utd side without Rooney or Owen.

essexspur said:i personally dont think there is much between either of or runs in, im happy to be playing both arsenal & chelsea at home, your happy to be playing man utd,villa & spurs at home, i think you have a harder game this weekend in burnley than we have in sunderland only because its burnleys last chance at staying up. we both have 1 extremely difficult away game each,which both are favourites to lose in, both could play sides last game off the season either relegated or needing a result to stay up. im glad we dont have to play either villa or liverpool as they are real 6 pointers. if it comes down to may the 5th & we needing a win at your place id accept that as i know we would just go for it & have a good chance at beating you. this weekend will make or break spurs in my opinion,a spurs win & a liverpool draw or lose will make it very hard for liverpool to break top 4 & i can see villa not winning at bolton & ending any hope they had this weekend,
I agree with you and I think it is between City and Spurs. Liverpool's away record is DIRE. They are also almost too many points adrift.
Villa are pretty much out of it and I doubt if they are exactly brimming with confidence after a 7-1 thrashing.
If we do not make 4th, I would like Spurs to - at least you play attractive and entertaining football.
I think that it would be great if it came down to City vs Spurs or to the last day's games with some relegation issues in the mix.
You are right about Burnley being potentially difficult - have you seen their pitch?
I can see lots of hoofed high balls and head tennis!
Bolton are much improved recently and still not safe from the trapdoor - can seee Vill getting no m,ore than a point there.<br /><br />-- Wed Mar 31, 2010 3:10 pm --<br /><br />
essexspur said:mcfc_die_hard said:the problem is if you attack from the off we could just soak it all up and then hit you on the counter attack. i hope to god dawson and bassong are playing because they are poor. johnson, bellamy and tevez all bursting forward at some serious speed will make you fear of being caught on the counter and therefore you wont just attack from the off
dawson & bassong have surprised me to a certain extent,never been a big fan off dawson but he is growing on me by the day, a year ago the thought of neither king or woodgate in the middle would have given me nightmares, people mock our defense but in gomes & a back 4 that hasnt changed much & with now a left back to die for in gareth bale,we are doing ok,its the centre of midfield that worrys me,we have even coped without our best 2 players for large parts of the season in 1st modric & lennon, if you had said lennon would be out for the best part of 4 months the way he was playing i would have said we would have absolutely no chance of 4th,but we have hung on in there & had some truly shocking results & always bounced back, im very optimistic about next season 2
We are also optimistic aboput next season.
I DESPERATELY want the SKY 4 cartel to be broken this season, and if it isn't City that do it, then Spurs or Villa would have to do.
Next season, I want a second team from the SKY 4 to fall out - preferably Ushited!
