Bump.
So we're into the last couple of months of the season now, the business-end as people like to say.
For me the title race was done and dusted a while ago, Spurs will drop points, Chelsea probably will too but with a 7-point gap they can afford to drop a few. Fair play to Spurs for probably sealing top 4 and finishing above Arsenal, they've got a decent squad however, what exactly have they achieved? I can't praise this team a lot until they win something. Real chance of winning the FA Cup though.
As for Liverpool, City, United and Arsenal. All have been disappointing really. Klopp will argue his squad is thin but I don't think he can use that as an excuse, he's had time to bring in players. City as I've said before I can excuse a bit more as it's an ageing squad and you're less likely to be able to mould players in the latter stages of their career. Pep's a weird bloke though. United, just inconsistent. We can moan about teams setting up for a draw at OT but this happened all the time with Fergie but he managed to find a formula to break them down. 11 draws (is it?) at home is not acceptable. And Arsenal, well I'm just so bored with Arsenal and rumours have it Wenger will go on for another TWO YEARS. Feel for their fans. Still an exciting battle left for the 3rd-6th positions.
As for relegation. Sunderland are gone. Boro I can't see surviving but who knows, they might do a Leicester but unlikely as they're not playing well at all. Of the teams who could go down I would say Hull are more likely to. Yes their manager has this great home form but I would back Swansea and Palace to stay up over Hull.
For those who could be promoted, it'll of course be Brighton & Newcastle and then I'd actually like to see Leeds or Preston come up. Preston are probably going to just miss out on play-offs though.
