It will be a draw.

Can't see any hope winning at The Bridge, I can barely remember the last time we won there. Probably when Kerry Dixon was playing! Dembele and Lennon aren't match fit so not sure what line up we will use. I just wish we hadn't have loaned out Townsend and Rose.

Arsenal still have a tough couple of fixtures. Wigan and Newcastle. I really hope Pardew can get one over on Wenger again, they have history. I'm pretty sure Arsenal have made champions league something like 18 times in a row, they have the experience to see it through.

Bale had told his best friend (think that's the rugby captain for Wales) The only English team he'd leave Spurs for is United, but they would never fork out 50-60m now. Real Madrid is the likely destination if/when he decides to leave

"Can't see any hope" is way too strong. Bale and Defoe can do something out of nothing. I think CFC are favourites for this game, but Bale can perform miracles.

Bale yes, but Defoe hasn't shown much since he's back from injury, but Mata, Oscar, Hazard or Lampard can equally show some magic at times. Our past record isn't great there, I'm sure THFC will tell us when we last won, it would probably be around the El Tel era.

I think a win will guarantee them at least fourth spot and I just know Fat Frank will get that record.

We should have won at The Bridge when we played in the cup when we were 3-1 up. Even when Jose first joined and accused us of parking the bus I thought Keane should have snatched a 1-0 for us.

AVB has no choice but to go for it, I'd feel happy for him to get one over on his old employers. I expect some anti rafa and AVB chants going on all match!

Can't see it personally. Chelsea are on a very good run at the moment, in my opinion they will win it.

Not really a huge amount of difference in recent the form of the two clubs...

We'll be up for it against Chelsea imo, we've been good in the big games this season so far. It will be a close game either way, and I think we could get away with a draw because I don't think Arsenal will win both their games, but it's definitely a must not lose game.

After Chelsea winning today. I think Chelsea will beat Spurs midweek which will mean them getting a top 4 place for me. I think Arsenal beat Wigan at home should see them getting a top 4 place. Spurs have 2 tricky away games and a home game against Sunderland who might need to win it to be certain of staying up the way things are going at the moment.

I'm not as impressed with their win today as everyone else seems to be, that United team was shit but looked fairly comfortable until the end. We certainly could lose but I'd be surprised if we didn't make a game out of it.
