The race for... 4th - 2014/2015 edition

kamikaze

We'll easily finish 4th or maybe 3rd - the usual. If you look at goal differential, there's a clear demarcation between the current top 4 and the rest. Southampton is the exception, but their severe financial disadvantage means they have a thin squad, and that will show as the season goes on.

Anyone who thinks United have a better squad than us are still living in 2012. The only way they have a better team than us is if you're playing FIFA.

Falcao is as bad as any starting striker in the league, Van Persie doesn't give a shit anymore, Rooney is alright in three positions but great in none and Di Maria was a 60 million pound Nani clone.

It'll be us an Liverpool in the top 4.

Premier League since 25 Oct

2 Man City 20 41
3 Chelsea 19 41
4 Man Utd 20 41
5 Liverpool 20 38
6 Spurs 19 36

Too bad we have to count that third of the season when we were consistently rubbish,
as opposed to just fitfully rubbish now 🙂

Biggus

Bah, more stupid selective statistics to try to make some point.
Why Oct 25th why not Oct 18th or Oct 11th?

y va marquer

No point being made at all, just a light hearted bit of nothing.
But yeah, bah, down with that sort of thing 🙂

lorddulaarsenal

It's not all bad. We've not lost to Munich or Real this season

Wenger's clueless, has no tactical knowledge and our team has no identity, yada yada.

We have been in superb form for a long time now. The first third of the season can be written down to a completely new front line starting the season in comparison to the one previous.

Our form's erratic, punctuated and exacerbated by nerves maybe, as evidenced by results against Monaco and Spurs and periods of our performances versus QPR and Palace.

Out of curiosity: Why were you rabbiting on about Wenger being clueless yada yada yada?
I didn't mention the man in my post.

My poor post which I thought harmless nonsense 😆

There's definitely an issue with the teams "nervousness" it affects performance drastically, probably down to preparation and communication from the players.

Paddy McNair saved our season.

Those stats are nothing but a huge jinx. Just like the "last 38 games league table" from the middle of last season. Shortly after that gained some traction we self destructed.

2 points off City with 9 games to go, could we actually come 2nd?

1 point off City.

lorddulaarsenal

To the we fucking win the fucking league 2014/15 thread!

Meatwad

very disappointed.

redwhiteAustrian

LOL at City.
Just one point off them, now. 😃

goon

Didn't I tell you guys 2nd place was on?

Clrnc

2 losses for Chelsea before we meet them at the emirates and it's going to be hot.

yeah my mistake, one thing for sure I'd be dissapointed if we are playing CL qualification next season

That's really important, we suffer from the fixture congestion those matches create.

mdgoonah41

look, the odds of it happening are like 2%, but

lets assume chelsea win their 2 games in hand.

that means they are 12 points up with 9 games to play.our game against them is a 6 pointer. they could easily lose to liverpool and man united. they could drop points tomorrow.

its really kind of crucial, for this 2% dream, that chelsea drop points tomorrow, and somehow drop points against hull.
