It's a mad season. Everyone from Villa up is feasibly still in a shout for European football, and everyone from Palace down is feasibly in a relegation scrap. It'll shake out a bit as a the season progresses probably, but could see every club still having something to play for until the last couple of games.
 
It appears the media are enjoying the Goons eight point lead but after the Leeds game at the Emirates they have five tough games from their next six fixtures

Liverpool (away) the Dippers fighting for top four and ther Goons record at Klanfield as bad as ours
West Ham (away) London derby game and no love lost with West Ham fighting for survival
Southampton (home) The easiest of their remaining games
City (away) We have beaten them twice and the atmosphere will be electric we always rise to the occasion
Chelsea (home) Another London derby game , and Chelsea have a few individuals who can turn games
Newcasle (away) The Geordies got a draw at the Emirates and can see them doing the same at home

Alternatively we have a few games against traditionally tough opposition but they are all at the Etihad , ive just lumped on at Paddy Power at 7/5 longest odds we have had all season.
 
What are the chances of this coming down to level points last game of the season and both teams being aware that it's essentially down to goal difference. Will we be seeing a genuine "next goal wins" scenario
 
We're nowhere near squeaky bum time yet. The pressure the last 5 or 6 games bring are immense. Can Arsenal overcome that pressure? Only time will tell. They've got a very good young team yes, play some fantastic football yes, but, and there's always a but when you've got a raving lunatic in the dugout and I'm hoping his behaviour is going to transcend itself to the players on the pitch. Saying that, if they do win it, at least its not one of them vile pair of c***s! We'll come back much stronger next season.

I’ve always said that the only thing that could ever come close to matching 2011/12 is if we won the league via a play off after finishing with identical records to someone.

Minuscule chance of that happening any season though and as good as impossible this year.

Although if we’d beaten United 2-1 that year instead of 6-1, it would have been a play off. That’s obviously on the big assumption that all the other results happened as they did.

It wouldn't have been a playoff because we beat them home and away.
