Arsenal could still win the title in Barclays Premier League from Football.co.uk

West Ham only just managed to beat Derby 2-1 the worst ever team in the history of premier league!!

We may have to call up the Hammerets or whatever there called now who used to provide the half
time entertainment at Upton Park if our injury list gets any worse as we may not even have 11 fit players left...

So even if Chelsea beat or drew with Man Utd there is as much chance of me pulling kelly Brook now
that shes single again as there is of us winning away at Old Trafford to keep alive the Gunners dream!!

PS..Nice bush up above!!

Step one complete.

Chelsea get 2 draws and end with 83 points (we'd win by a GD)
United get 1 draw and 1 loss (if they get two draws they win by GD)

But if either Chelsea or United win in their next two, we are done. Sad

On the contrary I think the amjority of people would much rather United win the title than Chelsea.

Easily!

Still a little glimmer of hope. Slight, but it's still there ... for now. Laughing

I think the title challenge ended the day Martin Taylor injured Eduardo, it's been downhill since, for multiple reasons : loss of form, individual mistakes, referees decision and team selection

Seems to me the turning point was losing 5-1 to us (not because of the result, but thats the time it changed), almost everything since has been cack.

Nope, we went on to win the next 4 matches by a combined score of 11-1 (3 of those being league matches). Then we lost to United in the FA Cup, played well in the following game against Milan, then the dreaded Birmingham game, which started the run of 4 straight draws and a loss to Chelsea (two of those draws should have been wins if the right calls were made). That was the downfall, not the loss to Tottenham or United (we bounced back fine to those two losses, you can make an argument about the United loss, but definitely not the loss to Tottenham).

Maybe it wasnt all down to the Tottenham game but i think the result did shake the club. If we had beaten your weakened squad 2 maybe 3-1 then i dont think it would of made a difference but i do think because it was 5 it may of shaken a few people.

It was the start of Gallas' mini-breakdown imo, and where we first saw all the arguing amongst the players that has occured since.

i cling on to a thread of hope ......Derby 2 Arsenal 6 .......now if West Ham can shock Man Utd and Kevin Keegan can pull off the shock of the season for Newcastle ...

maybe ....just maybe .... Wink

^ That would be brilliant for the league. Having it all come down to the very last gameweek.

Imagine if the refs didn't take 4 points away from us with dubious calls. It would be a 3 way tie for the top spot, only GD separating the 3. Now that would be exciting.
