What a joke!
So they're 5 points ahead, big deal.
Even if we didn't have games in hand it wouldn't be disastrous.
Not only do Spurs have to play Arsenal, Chelsea and Man United in the run-in, that's the top 3 who are all pushing for the league, they play them all consecutively.
Before that they play Sunderland who have recovered some of their injured players and hit a small patch of form, and afterwards they have to come to City.
Can you imagine if they lose those 4 games, which isn't unrealistic, they won't have much confidence come May 5th will they?
Liverpool and Villa are by no means out of it. Liverpool are used to being at the top and as such have developed a certain attitude and like all big teams seem to be able to win even when they don't play well, although they really aren't playing well at the minute.
Villa weren't great today but have shown they can raise their game and have arguably the easiest run of fixtures.
There are far too many people on here who put too much emphasis on the result of one game. When Villa drew we suddenly had a great chance to get 4th, now that Spurs have won we don't have a chance apparently. I thought it was bad when opinions drastically changed after our results but this is just ridiculous.
There's a very high likelihood that all 4 teams will drop more points before the end of the season and that 4th place won't be decided until the last couple of games of the season.
