Everyone seems to think Arsenal are nailed on for 3rd place, despite shocking performances they have got incredibly lucky, and surely their luck must run out soon?
Firstly...We beat Wigan on saturday and we go above arsenal by 1 point with the same games played. Arsenal then play United who will hopefully be motivated by Fergie to crush that wanker and his scum side in their own back garden. Thus meaning we are still a point above with a game in hand.
Our game in hand is then Chelsea. Even if we lose we will be above them on the same games played, with a run-in as easy as theirs. Match their results and we finish above them. If we beat wigan and get a result at Chelsea then its all good if you ask me. Believe!!
This is the problem with your optimism imo. Having experience of these things across several seasons, the following ring true:
1. When Spurs rely on other teams to screw up, they don't. See Chelsea's champions league win as an example.
2. When other teams rely on Spurs to screw up, invariably, we do. See giving up a 10 point lead last season as an example.
3. When other teams play badly and look like they are going to screw up, they get lucky (or cheat?). See Fulop and lasagna gate as examples. (Or Chelsea's champions league win again...)
4. Spurs don't get lucky. Ever.
Perhaps the last point was a little over exaggerated.
That said if we do get 4th, we'll know we deserved it!
