How many points do we really see us amd our rivals getting? I personally think.
Arsenal remaining fixtures:
West Ham (H) Crystal Palace (A) Middlesborough (A) Sunderland (H) Southampton Leicester (H) Spurs (A) Man U (H) Stoke (A) Everton (H)
I reckon - WDWWWDLDWW - 21/ 30 - 72 Points.
Not going to lie, that's generous in my opinion. Got some tough away games and play relegation threatened teams.
That would mean liverpool would need 14 points from last 8 games, City need 15 from 9 games to reach 73 points
I know we don't like doom and gloom or moaning on this page. but surely top 4 is over?
03 Apr 2017 20:08:20
Liverpool and City are both averaging 2pts per game meaning should they continue as they have all season they will end up on 76pts meaning we would need to increase our points per game average up from 1.8 currently to 2.7 per game for the rest of the season which is way above Chelsea's​ 2.3 average over this season so far.
I'd say it's extremely likely we will be playing our European football on a Thursday next season.

Yes the top four is over.
03 Apr 2017 22:13:00
Top four finished a few weeks back.

Its not a bad thing anyway. It'll cause change which is needed.
03 Apr 2017 22:58:58
I'm not sure it will bring about the change that's needed Derby mate but it might, my guess is only the change will be we will sign players in an attempt to try and take the sting plug of losing Sanchez and Ozil but not enough of them or the quality to make a big enough difference to bring about any real change in our competitiveness in the title race.
I could be wrong of course.

I know it is a shame, but I think we could do well in the Europa league next season. It might add a bit of confidence to the team. The Champions League always causes us problems around Feb. It might help us modify our game as well, because top 4 is no longer a guarantee.

Gunner sanchez is going even if we get top4 and I suspect ozil wants bayern to make a move. And im willing to accept a few tough years if it means stan gets annoyed and moves on. Of course it may not pan out like that but in just bored of him and the way things are. So im willing to role the dice mate.

Europa league is not a place we want to be in just ask Spurs it kills your team playing thurs/ sun traveling to back end of Europe . If it happens we should play the youth and concentrate on winning the league assuming Chelsea win that will be two years in row champions have had no European football . I'd like us to drop out all together and re group Thursday night football is a laughing stock all round 👎.

CG the thing about the europa league at this time of the year is its a chance to get champs league football if you fail top four like man u. Not bulling it up just pointing out.
