The battle for 4th place

[Centurions]

Arsenal have home fixtures against Norwich and Villa so 6 banker points. We have to beat Arsenal and either Swansea or Sothampton to finish above them on GD.

The way Arsenal have faded (there's a surprise) it's in no way a banker against Norwich who are fighting for their lives. In their last game Villa could throw the kids on which potentially could be a swerve ball for Arsenal with no idea what to expect.

Fuck knows what will happen, I thought we'd drop points v Chelsea away and Stoke at home but thought we'd stuff Newcastle lol

 

[Manc in London]

Aye, no way is 3 points against Norwich a banker.

Arsenals game v Norwich could be very interesting. Their last home game there were lots of empty seats the mood won't have improved after today's result. Norwich have to have a go so a draw is a good prospect.

There are 7 key games remaining
Arse v Norwich
Utd v Leceister
Soton v us
Norwich v Utd
Us v Arse
West Ham v Utd
Swans v us

Norwich have a big part to play, let's be avin u!!

Norwich are fighting relegation, no easy game that. Agree on Villa though, they're pathetic. Swansea look on the beach so that should be 3 points for us, Southampton away is tougher but we'll beat them if we're up for it, same with Arsenal.

Villa could have thrown on the kids this weekend onwards if they were so inclined, I'd say the youth coaches might advise against exposing the younger players to the venom coming from the Villa fans.

Southampton away is very tricky at the best of times but between the madrid games and with rotation i would not be surprised to lose it

Only if we're distracted by the Champions league mentally. We've enough players now, some in decent form and fit - Vinny(hopefully better with a game under his belt), Zaba, Aleks, Yaya, (hopefully) Nasri, Nacho, Sterling or Silva etc who don't look like they'll play more than 30m against Madrid if even that so we're not going to end up in the situation we were in a while back where we couldn't rotate properly and were knackered. If those lads are pushing for a starting spot in the second leg and further (barring Nasri) we'll murder Southampton.
