A chink of light for Arsenal.

The lead is effectively 5 points with goal difference with Arsenal having the game in hand.

It could hinge on the Arsenal vs Utd match on 1st May PLUS 2 other key matches each - Spurs vs Arsenal and Man Utd vs Chelsea

My instinct is that United (despite being 'worthy' champions this year) will edge it by about 3 points.
Not a mention about Forests recent dip in form!!

Standard 'stalling' at this crucial time of year. This is when you need to break out and hit a run of winning consistency. What do Forest do - 3 points from 4 matches against teams in the bottom 6 !!

It is looking like the play-offs again !

I think you have a better run in than Swansea although they have a decent run of for. Matches coming against Forest and Norwich.

I think Norwich are your biggest threat to an automatic promotion place.

CC we still have QPR to play in Cardiff a win for us would reduce their 6 point cushion to 3 and make it more interesting for the chasing pack. We need the automatic spot.....the playoffs are bad for my health.I still have nightmares of being 2-0 up against Blackpool before conceding 3 sick1

How do you think I feel about the Play-Offs ?  We have more chance of winning the Thai Lottery :)

Last year we were the only team to be beaten 4 times by Blackpool !!!!
