Swansea had nothing to play for against Wigan..
I suppose Wigan are a little different to Arsenal, Wigans defence gifted Swansea that win.

I have no idea anymore. Keep saying to myself that Arsneal will slip up but they havent for ages! Only one I can think of is Everton at home which they drew.
Wigan, they should win comfortably. Saudi Sportswashing Machine away is a tough place to go so thats where I seem them slipping up if they do.
Chelsea are out of reach methinks.[/QUOTE]
I'm not sure myself.
Villa away wont be a walk in the park, Chelsea's 5th game in 14 days, and they were blowing at the end last night. Villa still need points to be mathematically safe (they cant gamble on Wigan not winning their last two games) adn if they play as well as they did v Sunderland, who knows if a point, or 3, is a possible.
Everton at home - last game for Moyes, although if we have won at Stoke they cant get in Europe and they should be safe in 6th, they might stlll want to go out with a performance for him. Again, who knows. Could all depend on how they reacyt after the Europa final too
Certainly finishing with 2 draws is not out of the question.
All pie in the sky though if we dont win on Sunday

thats why it was a valuable point against chelsea. if they had won, top 4 was secure, but now they still have to 'think' about the two league games along with preparing for a euro final.
And after the the last 3 times i have watched arsenal (fulham 10men for 70mins, man u should have won after a poor first 20min, and Qpr very even after the 1st minute) i wouldn't say they are on form, just getting results (like us), arsenal will give you chances every game (worry about wigan inj riddled defence though). funnily i think it may be better if Saudi Sportswashing Machine are safe on that last day, continued pressure is never good (especially for a team that didn't expect it ), for that to be lifted before the last day may allow them to put on a 'show'.
Arsenal are going to lose both games.
I think sometimes you just have to hold your hands up and Arsenal deserve some credit, their run over the last 12 or so games is nothing short of sensational give their squad and the confidence issues. If they qualify you have to give them credit, simple as. They handled the pressure the best.
Personally, i think they will draw one of their last 2. If we can win against stoke the pressure is on them big time to win their last 2.
Tottenham | Arsenal |
Stoke (A) | Wigan (H) |
Sunderland (H) | Saudi Sportswashing Machine (A) |
Come on wigan and pardoo's le noocassell ! But we have to/must win our own games.
If we win our last two games, it'll only be the third time we've done that in the Premier League era. You have to go back to season 85-86 for the last time we took maximum points from our final three.
^^ Both. We've won our final two twice in the Prem; we haven't won our final three since 86.

Given that we drew against Chelsea, how is it possible for us to win our final 3 games? Am I missing something?
