Arsenal are highly amusing. In just 4 matches away against Man City, Liverpool, us and Everton, they have conceded 20 goals and that is 50% of their goals conceded already this season. Although this defeat means Everton have the advantage due to that game in hand, still think Arsenal will just about finish in Top 4. Have an easier run-in.

Arsenal - West Ham(H), Hull(A), Newcastle(H), West Brom(H) and Norwich(A)

Everton - Sunderland(A), Palace(H), Man United(H), Southampton(A), Man City(H) and Hull(A)

On the other hand, Everton's highest point tally in 11 Premier League seasons under Moyes was 65 points. Martinez's Everton are now on 63 with 6 games left to better that.

I can't see Arsenal beating Hull away tbh and I'm positive they'll drop points in any of those other matches too.

Then it's only fair to expect Everton to drop points away against Hull too, but I can see them comfortably beating ManU at home and I think they can do it against City as well. They'll give their very best to reach that top4 position, so I'm not really sure Arsenal won't miss UCL.

The thing is though, Arsenal are playing teams that are already safe from relegation and/or have nothing else to play for. West Ham and Hull are safe (Hull could also be distracted by the FA Cup if they reach the final). Newcastle on a free fall and West Brom should be safe by then. Only Norwich could potentially be the tricky one because they could still be in trouble then and not to mention, Arsenal have proved themselves to be a flat track bully. They can beat these lesser sides with ease but only stumbled against the better ones. As for Everton, their tricky one is against Sunderland next but should have more than enough to beat them, Palace and Hull. Will come down to that 3 games against United, Southampton and City and what they get from those games.

Some resistance by the hammers so far. But will it help if Liverpool don't win ?

We go level with Liverpool and City still have Everton and Liverpool to play, we still have Liverpool too

Even if those results went our way, you just know we would fuck it up against someone shit

Unfortunately, I think Arsenal will still get 4th in the end, their remaining games are much easier than Everton's. But hopefully this win will motivate Everton to beat City; they seem to be their bogey team.

If we can't beat Liverpool in one of those days days we actually do turn up for the game, I 'm going to eat a cat.

Wouldnt have thought so.Liverpool win they're 1 ahead still.Draw they're top due to goal difference.We've still got to play them so them not winning be a massive help espically as we're so hit and miss..though by the time we play them it could mean anything or nothing depending on how things go between now and then.

[Special Juan 27,424]

This is as good as WHU can play, it's downhill from here.

I consider them beatable -or in any case we have to beat them- and I don't want them to be unmotivated against City.

Be a case of first goal then the next...the next...the next...etc etc

[Polo7 3,496]

Ugh....
