The Run In

Here we 'crisis' club Arsenal in 3rd (Considering some thought we would be fighting for our Premier League status, as we come to the final run in of this Premier League season.) This team may not be the 'best' squad we have ever had but they do have a good squad morale and team spirit, this have been shown by last minute winners vs Newcastle and Liverpool with a excellent comeback vs the Spuds.
Our run in isn't easy , but when has anything this season been simple? (Apart from Blackburn at home!)

Next up on Monday night is Wigan who will be on high after beating Man Utd and once again will want to some how stay up however I feel we will just to much for them up front, (especially if they play 3 at the back.) We all hope that the Ox will start however if we does not let's get behind the 11 which do start and see how it goes and trust Wenger in his decisions.

We then host Chelsea who will face Tottenham in the FA Cup semi final tomorrow and then Barcelona midweek. I don't think this will affect Chelsea, Instead it could do the opposite a win over Barcelona would give them bags of confidence (No not chips Frank) . However saying that this Chelsea said are extremely average. Mata is the obvious threat but we all know that Drogba likes to score against us ( 12 in his last 10 against us, I think) However hopefully him and Torres will be the latest hostages in Koscielny's pocket who will back from suspension.

The next game is one we all dread; I trip to Stoke Rugby Club (Luckily it isn't on a cold night.) We SHOULD be able to get all 3 points however coming away from Stoke with a point would not be the end of the world as long as we don't slip up elsewhere.

Our last home game against Norwich will hopefully all but secure Top 3/4 (get your get bin bags ready, just in case!) I trip to West Brom on the last day of the season will hopefully be stress free and we will finish the season off with 3 points. Neither of these teams are fighting for much but both will be looking to finnish well.

Tottenham have on paper a much easier run in but in reality may not be as simple as it looks, for 2 reasons:
1) Many teams they face are threatened with relegation ( QPR, Blackburn, Bolton and even Aston Villa). So they will be scrapping for every point.
2) Tottenham are sh*t

Newcastle have Stoke Rugby Club, Wigan and then Chelsea, Man City and Everton. None of which will prove a easy task as they are targeting 4th, 1st and 7th respectively.

Chelsea will have to juggle Premier League with the best in the world (No not Bale) but Barcelona. They face us, QPR, Newcastle, Liverpool and Blackburn.

So thats what we and the 'others' face between now and the season.

Let's hope come May we are celebrating (Yes I know 3rd isn't a trophy but back in September we would of given a Park or two for that in September!)

Up The Arsenal!
