The Premier League campaign - 2011/12

I'd agree with that, I hate the feeling of the last few years when we have finished the season poorly, always makes the summer much worse.

Seeing the City fans yesterday reminded me of how horrible the whole thing can be.

I'll say one thing for this season, its alot more fun fucking up at the start and coming back from it than having your hopes raised only to be crushed after Christmas.

Don't know about that Qs, anyone with an ounce of sense knew our hopes were dashed over last summer, and especially after that game.

The only mild feelgood factor about this season is that we seem to have seen off a challenge from a resurgent Spurs for our Prize.

I suppose it's a personal thing, do you prefer to get your insulting punishment over and done with or do you want to defer the inevitable as long as possible.....It all amounts to the same thing.

Well getting over the disappointment nice and early in the season has allowed me to enjoy the football for the last few weeks.

Can anyone see any of Chelsea spurs or Newcastle winning all their remaining league games?

Captain

Nah, there'll be one or two more losses each by my reckoning.

Claudius

Why not Newcastle? They seem the most in form of that lot. They have no other commitments.

lorddulaarsenal

What I'm getting at I guess, is who do you think will finish higher out those three?

They play city and Chelsea. Look like tricky fixtures

I had spurs for fourth most of the season but now I couldn't say. Gut instinct says Chelsea.

City's season is done. They are pretty much locks for 2nd position. They'll probably end the season like Arsenal usually does, with losses and constant speculation about transfers.
Chelsea might be trickier but on the basis of what we've seen this weekend, Newcastle would win

Rex

Both Cissé and Ba are the kind of strikers which will suit Chelsea quite well. Haven´t Newcastle been quite poor against the top teams as well this season resultwise?

I think they've done pretty well apart from that bashing they took against Spurs. They drew against us, Spurs and United during the first half of the season and beat United 3-0 three months ago. They still have to play Chelsea and City one more time.

Lol. We should send Theo as a replacement for Balotelli just to make sure

we have sent them a few ticking time bombs. and united did their bit by sending them tevez as well.

SimplyThePest

We've sent them a few fragile cunts, haven't we? Nasri, Clichy, Barndoor, even Kolo was somewhat shaky from time to time.

lorddulaarsenal

Chalk off another and we rested rosicky!

Glad spurs have three away games

Newcastle go past Chelsea in the table. Even on points with Spurs now. Their run-in has been seriously impressive.

y va marquer

When I first looked at those ten fixtures I had us down for dropping eight points maximum.
I still hold to that.
Meaning third even on goal difference.

Chelsea Newcastle isn't on the 14th is it?
