now i am not getting ahead of myself, ok maybe i am a little bit

but i still think that Chelsea are a good contender for the title.

this is the top 4 atm

1. Man U 30 - 63
2. Arsenal 29 - 58
3. Chelsea 29 - 54
4. Man C 30 - 53

this is the fixture until the end for Man U.
West Ham
Fulham
Newcastle
Everton
Arsenal
Chelsea

Chelsea's fixture until the end
Stoke
Wigan
West Brom
West Ham
Tottenham
Man U

Arsenals
Blackburn
Blackpool
Liverpool
Bolton
Man U
Stoke

these 3 teams are going to go so close to the title

plus the only reason i think Chelsea still have a chance, Game in hand + playing man u again.


this is surely one of the closest title races ever!

Hilly you haven't listed all their remaining games! United has 8 games to go and Arsenal and Chelsea have 9, yet you have only listed 6 games each. You left off their final games. This is how I see the remaining games going.

United
West Ham (a) - win
Fulham (a) - win
Newcastle (a) - win
Everton (h) - win
Arsenal (a) - tough
Chelsea (h) - tough
Blackburn (a) - win
Blackpool (h) - win

Total points: 81 + games against Arsenal + Chelsea

Arsenal
Blackburn (h) - win
Blackpool (a) - win
Liverpool (h) - draw
Tottenham (a) - draw
Bolton (a) - win
Man Utd (h) - tough
Stoke City (a) - win
Aston Villa (h) - win
Fulham (a) - win

Total points: 78 plus game against United

Chelsea
Stoke City (a) - win
Wigan (h) - win
West Brom (a) - win
Birmingham (h) - win
West Ham (h) - win
Tottenham (h) - draw
Man Utd (a) - tough
Newcastle (h) - win
Everton (a) - win

Total points: 76 plus game against United.

With my predictions Chelsea wont be able to win the league even if they beat United in their game. Arsenal could finish level on points with United if they beat them and so does Chelsea so it would come down to goal difference. But basically United is in the box seat and it is their trophy to lose.

Also wouldn't say it is the closest title races ever. Back in 07/08 there was only 4 points separating the top 3 at the end of the season. Usually 2 teams break off and fight it out, and that could still happen

oh i thought Chelsea and Man U played in the last round so i didn't bother clicking the next button.

Man U have struggled with some injury's over the last couple weeks but that probably won't stop them

the Tottenham game for us is probably the toughest because they need 4th spot aswel.

if we win our game and hand and beat man u - not saying we will, we are 3 points behind Man U.

Arsenal i think will lost to Tottenham.

here is my predictions.


United
West Ham (a) - win
Fulham (a) - win
Newcastle (a) - win
Everton (h) - win
Arsenal (a) - tough
Chelsea (h) - tough
Blackburn (a) - win
Blackpool (h) - win

Total points: 81 + games against Arsenal + Chelsea

Arsenal
Blackburn (h) - win
Blackpool (a) - win
Liverpool (h) - draw
Tottenham (a) - draw
Bolton (a) - win
Man Utd (h) - tough
Stoke City (a) - win
Aston Villa (h) - win
Fulham (a) - win

Total points: 78 plus game against United

Chelsea
Stoke City (a) - win
Wigan (h) - win
West Brom (a) - win
Birmingham (h) - win
West Ham (h) - win
Tottenham (h) - draw
Man Utd (a) - tough
Newcastle (h) - win
Everton (a) - win


exactly the same, but with soccer anything can happen, like today, West Brom 2-2 Arsenal.

upsets like that can happen especially when there is pressure on teams.

the Tottenham game for Chelsea is vital if we win that and the games before it should give us some momentum going into the Man U game.

bring on the tital race!

Yeah you are right, anything can happen.
Arsenal are faltering at the moment ever since they lost to Birmingham in the league cup final, they have then been knocked out of the CL, the FA cup and then a draw against West Brom. Be interesting to see if they can pick themselves up or not...

WBA are their bogey team. They lost to them at home earlier this season.

Chelsea can bearly ever beat them, but we did beat Man City so hopefully our goasts of Everton aswel have gone!

Well United play Everton at home, where they have only dropped 2 points all season so I think United can beat them (I never said it would be easy though). The Chelsea game will be tougher since it is at Goodison Park
