*Official* English Football Season 2013-14

[GIMH]

If Arsenal can stay in touch over the next 4 games we've got a piss easy run in. Have no idea why Arsenal are as long odds as they are.

Probably because their performances have been a level below the other three in the past couple of months but in particular that mauling at Anfield. I'd definitely have Liverpool at shorter odds at this point given their record at home and the fact City and Chavs have to go there but there's no denying Arsenal's odds are generous

 

[Furball]

Sadly the league's now Chelsea's to throw away but the odds being offered on Arsenal are ridiculous.

edit: the one thing that might trip Chelsea up is the Champions League.

 

[Nate]

I still think City are favourites. [/antiSm00tangmodeactivated]

 

[Pothas]

Think it is 50/50 right now, is definetly not Chelsea's to throw away. The gap is a big one for sure but there is no reason that City can't with those games in hand.

As Furball mentioned the champions league means that the fixture congestion will be evened out somewhat. Is worth noting that Barca lost again yesterday, a City win is very unlikely but I don't think it is impossible.

Probably made a bit worse by losing Wilshire, but yeh, still generous. Still don't think it's wrong though. If I were to bet on a top 4 right now Arsenal would be 4th.

 

[Furball]

Relevance of the Bayern game to the league is what, exactly?

And you've made my point for me anyway.

 

[grecian]

Never a pen for me.

 

[Pothas]

You just knew that is how the draw was going to go. Been a great season for Hull.

 

[Cabinet96]

Urgh, here comes the hope.

Problem for Citeh is that their away form sucks massive hairy balls and they still have to go to United, Arsenal, Liverpool and Everton. And they're not playing very well lately either.

It feels like they had their chance, but threw away points against **** teams in the first half of the season when they were playing by far the best football out of anyone. Needs to be something really special to salvage it from here. Maybe if Demichelis gets injured.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Hull in europe next season then probably. Jelavic and Long will be even more delighted with their moves.

 

[Pothas]

Or we will have a league one side in Europe, which you know would be crazy.

 

[Cabinet96]

Can Sheffield United even fill up Wembley?

Up ya Wigan as well btw.

 

[Pothas]

Oh yeah still got big fan base, more than Wigan for sure.

I can't believe City won't pull this back but would be so happy for Rosler.

 

[Cabinet96]

Jeez, only just put a stream on and City already have had four or five great chances in the last two or three minutes.Edit: **** sake.

You don't think having to play a really tough opponent every 3-4 days for the good portion of a month is going to affect your team's performances? Arsenal aren't particularly great at the moment and any momentum you have will probably be lost. By the time you get to the last phase of the season, where you have easier games, your season will probably be over. If you win even half those games you've done well, and that'll still put you guys out of the race.

 

[Cabinet96]

Holy ****, I can't watch this. Why the **** did I find stream?

 

[Pothas]

Wow.

Uwe what a man. Love that guy.

 

[grecian]

Incredible, proper cup football. Stirs the soul. No matter how much I hate Wigan's chairman, gotta love that type of tie.

 

[Tom Halsey]

**** off City.

Only slightly irritating thing about this is it simplifies Arsenal's job to finally end their drought but on the other hand it just makes the potential for it being even funnier if they still fail.
