I see it this way:
1. Ars*nal
2 Spurs
3. Leceister
4. Man City
I cannot see anyone creeping in there and I would be very upset if either Liverpool or Man U managed to bum their way through! or even West Ham!
And I sincerely hope that 1 & 2 will be reversed. Just being cautious, thre is nothing wrong with dreaming!
I don't see Ars*nal winning and against Leicester they were lucky, for two reasons. First Leicester had a man sent off and secondly a stupid fowl (at the end) resulted in their goal. Ars*nal are not good enough to win the league. I am not sure about City, but I do think it will be between Leicester and Spurs.

I agree.
Seems to be a trend, right now, of Spurs fans trying to justify their refusal to accept the level we are at by saying Ars*nal have an easier run-in. In whose book?
Before the latest round of games, I kept telling folk that anyone who has watched the Goons would know that their away form is incredibly flaky. I've watched most of their matches - even Bournemouth overran them time and again, but just didn't have a proper goal-scorer. And that was after the referee had decided to let Flamini continue playing even though the whole World and his dog knew he should have seen red. Counting yesterday's match, they faced an away run of United, Us, Citeh, West Ham (contending for Europe), a resurgent Everton who have just received a massive boost, and a Sunderland side managed by Big Sam who just loves to rub Wenger's nose in it and had just defeated United at the Stadium of Light. I could see the Goons losing any one of those games, taken in itself, even when their away form wasn't flaky. As it is, it is flaky as hell...and they have just lost one of those away games.
Even at home, they are facing a Swansea team who nearly took something off of us while playing out of our skin, and a (hopefully) dispirited Goons team will be facing them doubly determined to take something from the Scumerates after losing to us when holding out for so long.
If you take away our first four games - a loss at Old Trafford that really wasn't deserved and three draws that I believe where influenced by a drop in confidence (and a soft pen/red card against Toby). We are by far and away the form team in the division aside from those first four games.
They have to be respected, for sure - but they aren't in some kind of devastating, all-conquering form, especially away form, that we should be trembling in fear at them.
