So, the gooners have managed to beat both Sunderland and Manchester City away this week, to ensure that the fight for fourth place does go down to the wire on Sunday.
The situation is this:- Spurs need to win (or match Arsenal's result) to ensure they keep fourth place. The fact that we have held the position for 5 months, and been above our rivals for so much of the season is no guarantee that we will be fourth come five o'clock on Sunday (all games kick off at 3 p.m).
However, I still feel confident that West Ham will have their minds too much upon the FA Cup Final, and that Spurs will win through, leaving us just to wait for Barcelona to win on May 17th!
P.S. - We are guaranteed 5th place and the UEFA Cup!
