Arsenals poor form away from hope is certainly not a good sign for them. however now the Spurs Blackburn game is a huge game for both sides.

4th place now up for grabs from any of probably 5 teams.
Great performance by Arsenal today. They could have scored double figures with the chances they created and were always in control. They need to keep this type of form up if they are going to finish in the top 4. Good news with the Bolton & West Ham results today too.

Spurs now 5 points clear of 5th spot...Bolton can cut it to a point or two if they win their 2 games in hand though.
Fulham 0 Gloves 4
ANyone else notice that 9 out of the 11 Arsenal players wore gloves. What were Fulham at giving them all that room to play and what great football they can play when given the time and space! It's no wonder though that they can't compete in places like Bolton if they need gloves to play in London. I had read earlier in the day Chris Coleman saying Arsenal were a spent force - lots of egg on his chin there and on TV that night he said what a great team they are. Sorry Chris. Can't have it both ways.
Once again Spurs failed to impress live on TV but they seem to be able to grind out results. What a first goal by the one Keano.

I'll even let them wear tights if it means they get results like that!
I agree completly. I'm slightly biased as I don't like Spurs but honestly thought Blackburn where the better team yesterday.

Would love to see Spurs take the 4th spot.
2 of my best mates are Spurs fans and they've not had much joy in the last 10 years. Plus they're a good,entertaining side to watch and I'm sure Robbie Keane would benefit from some more European exposure.
Arsenal - New Stadium - NO Champions League - What A Pity
Spurs were outplayed by Rovers on Sunday but they got the 3 points and that was the main thing. Performances at this stage of the season are not as imporant as results. To be fair when Arsenal are on form they are a joy to watch but not sure they are as good as Spurs at the moment at getting 3 points when not playing so well.
However Spurs did batter Villa this year and Spurs were robbed away to Bolton also this season.
Spurs seem to be on the TV every match these days.
Last few weeks has seen live games V
Man City Sky
Leceister BBC
Wigan Sky
Blackburn Sky
Liverpool Rte
Fulham Sky
Charlton Sky
Sunderland Sky
And coming up they have
Chelsea Sky Prem Plus
Birmingham Sky Prem Plus
West Brom Sky
Newcastle (not on English TV)
Man City Sky Prem Plus

It's a real fantasy long shot but it would be gas laugh (for me anyway!
It's a sign of how bad Arsenal's season has been for me to be thinking up permutations involving Spurs finishing ahead of Arsenal and this scenario will be the only one that's relatively acceptable to a lot of Arsenal fans.
Europe is obviously important financially but the league position should be the preferred route to it. It's just an interesting 'what if' fact.
Just thought I'd share it with yis

I was just saying it to my mate the other day as we were watching the Blackburn game. what a night mare scenario for a Spurs fan. This season is very similar to last year regarding Everton V Spurs. The smaller rival ahead in the league as the bigger rival goes and ruins it by winning the Champions League. Howerver I must say Arsenal play much better football than Liverpool for me. I hope Arsenal go through tonight as I have a draw in an Accumulator but I hope they do not win it as that would put Spurs out of the Champions League.

This one is hotting up nicely now, but not just for the 2 North London clubs. Bolton are right in there with a shout now, good greif imagine Fat Sam givin it loads in the CL?
Arse were special against Luckypool yesterday, Spurts very unlucky to lose to the Roubles on Sat.
Hotting up nicely with Wigan in 8th only 6 points off 4th.
The above is all opinion and based on personal experience. Unless stated otherwise it is not a dig at anybody, well probably none of you lot.
Just remember that this last Champions League spot is not all it's hyped up to be as Dave O'Leary pointed out last week. You still have to win a qualifier and you get get a team like Villa Real and if you lose that, morale can plummet like it did at Everton this season and it took them a while to recover.
Go for it, sure, but it isn't necessarily the Holy Grail of football. Bolton didn't set the UEFA Cup alight this season. DOn't see them having a huge impact in the CL if they get there.
Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
Teams like Everton who haven't been in Europe for some years don't have their own ranking points so usually are unseeded. Maybe Bolton would have their own ranking points? Spurs, West ham, Blackburn etc... certainly wouldn't.
Another scraped win last night for Spurs. But they are not playing well at the moment but they are getting the 3 points ever time. Thats 3 wins on the trot too. Great finish by Robbie last night for the 1st goal. 5 point is the distance between Spurs and Arsenal with Arsenal having a game in hand. Pity the game at Fratton Park was not played at the weekend though as that is ia tough trip for the Gunners with Pompey in decent form. Still think spurs have a very tough April so its going to be tough.

Amazing really. I have seen Spurs play 5 or 6 times live and they've been average on each occasion but they continue to grind out wins. Lovely goal by Robbie. He has the midas touch at the moment and back to doing his cartwheels again. This one should go right to the end as well. WOuld be nice to see Robbie and Kelly in the CL - no Irish interest at Arsenal.

What I like is though that even though spurs are not playing great for 90 mins they are doing the basics right and continuing to play football. As Johnny Giles always says if its the right thing to do in the 1st minute its the right thing to do in the 90th minute.

Well Spurs have never finished in the top 6 or bottom 6 so I think they are doing well this year considering. Also they have more points now than they finished with last season so that shows progression too.
Spurs have taken 4 points from Blackburn this season and beat them just recently in a great game. I think its going to be a tight run this between Arsenal and Spurs for the final spot Champions League spot and the game at Highbury is giong to be huge. I would take draw now.

Spurs remaining games Tough run in and they need get at least 7 points from the next 3 games in my view.
