The road ahead...

Hello readers, Tis month of February and we have reached a point where 2 mangers have already thrown the towel on their title aspirations. Yes Carlo Ancelloti did it after losing to Liverpool and yesterday after the derby loss Mancini said it will be difficult for them to win the title this season. This effectively leaves only Arsenal as real title challengers, yet no one is still mathematically out of the race.

ManU will continue to be the same till the season end, might not play spectacular but will do enough to win the game. If nothing works on the day United will be helped by the referees :P

Arsenal have the tendency to break down from here on. But our manager insists this team has matured from previous season's defeats. So let's hope irrespective of the result against Barcelona, we keep our toes on ground and win the Carling Cup first and prioritize Premier League over FA cup.

Man City/Chelsea and Spurs will fight for the remaining 2 Champions League places and Spurs might just fall short of it this time. So here's presenting you the case -

Games yet to be played...

Arsenal -- Villa, Liverpool, United, Sunderland, Blackburn, Stoke(H) | Blackpool, Bolton, Fulham, Stoke, WestBrom, Spurs (A) {36 pts}

Chelsea – Birmingham, ManCity, United, Newcastle, Spurs, WestHam, Wigan (H) | Blackpool, Everton, Fulham, United, Stoke, Westbrom (A) {39 pts}

ManCity – Fulham, Stoke, Sunderland, Spurs, WestHam, Wigan (H) | Blackburn, Bolton, Chelsea, Everton, Liverpool (A) {33 pts}

ManUnited – Blackpool, Bolton, Chelsea, Everton, Fulham (H) | Arsenal, Blackburn, Chelsea, Liverpool, Newcastle, Westham, Wigan (A) {36 pts}

Tottenham – Arsenal, Birmingham, Blackpool, Stoke, Westbrom, Westham (H) | Blackpool, Chelsea, Liverpool, ManCity, Wigan, Wolves (A) {36 pts}

United still to play Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea twice. Looking at the fixtures yet to come, a few points dropped here and there is certain for all 5 teams.

Seems like ManU might pull this off easily with 2 games in hand. Arsenal to be 2nd. :(

Discuss… Prove me wrong, please!!!
