Spurs lost to Fulham yesterday? I think this is the height of it. How on earth have they now become an easy target for any team? Vegetables..!! 5 games, 4 losses, 1 shared point.  We all know the level to which these losses can affect their overall confidence right?

Yeah, they lost to a more better team, I wouldn't call it " the height of it" I'd say it was expected - you counted from 5 recent games ? How about you look at their last 14 PL games ? You'd be shocked how many games they've lost and why they're a 4 points away from the sharky ground.

One more L and the relegation pressure goes back on them. They scammed their way to European football last season- no chance this season.

These are the results of the latest games:

Sunday 1st March
Brighton and Hove Albion 2-1 Nottingham Forest
Fulham 2-1 Tottenham Hotspur
Manchester United 2-1 Crystal Palace
Arsenal 2-1 Chelsea

Tuesday 3rd March
Bournemouth 0-0 Brentford
Everton 2-0 Burnley
Leeds United 0-1 Sunderland
Wolverhampton Wanderers 2-1 Liverpool

With their latest win, Manchester United are probably going to finish the season in third place. Arsenal and Manchester City will contest the fight for the top two places but Chelsea will have to fight Aston Villa and Liverpool for the fourth and final Champions League spot.

What has happened to Liverpool? They were a goal down in the 78th minute, managed to get an equaliser in the 83rd minute then conceded another goal in stoppage time. Is Slot going to remain at the club at the start of next season?

Yes. Isn't that obvious? If they wanted him out they would have done it a long time ago but then again for who?

There's a good chance, Manchester united finish in the 3rd if Chelsea manages to take something from the Aston Villa game- Michael Carrick is another prove that club 90% success lies on the manager; this is the same squad Amorim assembled but could not find the perfect game plan to execute it.

They have one of the toughest upcoming fixtures and there's also a Champions league games for them in-between those fixtures. They'd need a lot of motivation to scale through unless the teams below them become extremely poor too to help them stay up..

In the end, they are four points above the relegation zone therefore they know what to do in order to avoid relegation. If they do lose Premier League status, they will have nobody but themselves to blame.

It's not a surprise.  Lol.  Fulham has a decent manager in Marco Silva.  He was once dubbed the young Mourinho a few years back when being compared to Mourinho was still a compliment.  Lolol.

Tottenham missed their chance when Poch was still on.  It's mostly Daniel Levy's fault for not spending enough during transfers.  I guess it's back to the Harry Redknapp days for them.

How about you look at their last 14 PL games ?

I didn't just want to be mean, you know.   There's going to be a huge problem for them tomorrow anyway. Crystal Palace lost their last match to Man United, and if we should follow the series on the table, they wouldn't want to lose again.

One more L and the relegation pressure goes back on them. They scammed their way to European football last season- no chance this season.

Sneaking your way into the game is easy, staying in the game is where the job lies.

After Kane left for Bayern Munich they still had some desire to win but after Son left the club they have lost all motivation and momentum.

That's what you get for being nonchalant about every player's positional replacement while they still play actively in the club. The management is so poor in the team, they didn't realize every win for them depended on just two players.

Westham won an important game to keep hope alive, Nottingham Forest managed to steal a point from Manchester city to push back pressure on Totteham who are a point from 18th place - Tomorrow game is a must win to boast momentum if they must stay off the relegation zone.

About westham's game yesterday, what exactly was Leno trying to do? Put himself in the category of winning the Golden glove??Overlapping so far from the goal post, and at the same time, doesn't allow the defenders to clear off the ball? I saw the frustration on his face when Summerville snuck in that shot, and he was even trying to blame someone else for his own mistake.I won't go you on an outside betting, but I still think Tottenham will leave the EPL (lose to Crystal Palace today). Even they know they have to exit first, then come back, if they get the chance to, with fresh starters in most of those leaking positions. Let's wait for the outcome!

Manchester United suffered their first loss of the Carrick era, it was stunning goal by Newcastle United to win the game with ten men. Maybe Carrick will learn a lot from this game. I still think Manchester United will finish in a Champions League spot alongside Arsenal and Manchester City therefore that final spot is a target for Liverpool, Aston Villa and Chelsea.

The board are to blame because they were probably negligent, they should have tried to find a suitable replacement for Kane but they let the Tottenham fans down.

The championship is a dungeon and relegation takes away many things from you - it is not always easy to come back because the club won't be able to keep the expensive players; they will move to another top clubs and they'll be left with an average cheap players and if they manages to come back, they'd struggle to compete and probably get relegated again..

Sufferings are lessons; he needed that humbling so he doesn't feel relaxed after going 6 unbeaten run. Not the result I expected, but the one I needed to close gaps on them.

Hence the cycle continues... I agree on that!I was just about to write on the your team's performance against Aston Villa yesterday before I got the notification that you quoted me. Why haven't you said anything yet?    Are you a little too excited that your team won, and your EPL rival lost on the same day?

Not the result I expected, but the one I needed to close gaps on them.

Why should you even care? Lmao. You need more stability in the top 5 than you should care about anything else right now. Considering that you, just like every other teams below Arsenal, has 9 more games to play.

There was no current discussion on yesterday Chelsea game on this thread but I did talked about it on the other English thread. 

I'm a gambler and I do care about the results of my opponents too - I placed some bets on Manchester united because i was overconfident in their recent form. That's football I guess.

So Arsenal got the W and Man City got a 2 - 2 draw in their latest fixtures.  Looks like it's a bit of a draw back for City's pressure on Arsenal.But the Gunners' next match is against...

...  The genius Moyes.  Lolol.

Could it be that this could actually be the one that could make Arsenal fumble?  I haven't checked the draw no bet and the double chance lines, but from the looks of it, Everton to win is at 11.00 or something.

It's always the easy games on paper that comes with supprised packages; it would be huge if Moyes manages to stop this demonic Arsenal side away from home. Many have been there before and cried later 

DNB Everton is 7/1 odds - no corner markets odds at the moment for me.

[tokeweed]

^  Not sure how the Brighton match against Arsenal ended with just a 0 - 1 win for Arteta and his boys but it looks to me like they had a hard time getting goals in?  Hmmm...  It feels like it's gonna be the same against the genius Moyes' Everton but with a higher chance to end with a draw?

So yeah...  The double chance at 3.40.  I wouldn't mind that line tbh.  And if anything, I Moyes could be going for the draw more than anything else. 

[JollyGood]

There were reports today that there could be a three man shortlist for the manager but the Manchester United board have not included Carrick for consideration. Manchester United seem almost certain to qualify for the Champions League therefore if they overlook Carrick at the end of the season, it will mean he had a successful run but someone else will take over.

I doubt Maresca will be on that shortlist 

Sufferings are lessons; he needed that humbling so he doesn't feel relaxed after going 6 unbeaten run. Not the result I expected, but the one I needed to close gaps on them.

Are we all going to act like someone didn't get the prediction right for this match? I actually had it in mind to discuss, but got really busy. Maybe I should have struck an outside betting with Botz?    
Tottenham have fallen behind the EPL standard of play, that the referees had to call off the first goal against them, which they decided to rule off as an offside, but it was nothing close to that, yet they conceived 3 more.

I'm not expecting to see plenty of goals per match from Arsenal. Some games may be easy to score and top up the GD points, some might just be for the 3 points, either doesn't define the outcome of neither. (The last part seems semantically incorrect to me?)

Arsenal had only one shot on target and they converted it into a goal, they made sure it was properly used - created only a chance in the entire game and turned it into a rugby to make it difficult for Brighton free flow football.

I like side bets, I have about 30mbtc side bets this season alone - we could do a 1mbtc side bet on Totteham?

If they get relegated , you get 1mbtc
If they survive, you send me 1mbtc

These are the next set of games taking place on Saturday 14th March:

Burnley vs Bournemouth
Sunderland vs Brighton and Hove Albion
Arsenal vs Everton
Chelsea vs Newcastle United
West Ham United vs Manchester City

This could be a defining moment because Arsenal host Everton whereas Manchester City travel to West Ham United. If either side drop points it will make an impact on their title aspirations. Also, if Chelsea want to keep their hopes alive of playing Champions League football next season, they need to beat Newcastle United.

Meh...  Kk that could be weakness from the Gunners' side.  So there could be a higher possibility that genius Moyes could do his magic and get at least a point from the Emirates. 

You can do it Moist, I mean Moyes!  Lolol.

Yeah, that could be possible, Arsenal played a Cup  game 3 nights ago and they'll play another important CL game this week - the genuine Moyes could take advantage of their fatigue and tired legs to get a point at least.

I can't believe I'm beginning to reason into your " Genius Moyes" thing and I'm considering putting something on your DNB tip.
