I can't see Newcastle facing the drop, Keegan's bound to get lucky.
Bolton, Fulham and Derby for me.

I can't seen Newcastle getting relegated, but it'd be a great laugh if they did. It'd be the equivalent of when Leeds went down. I'm going to go with Bolton, Fulham and Derby too.
Arsenal have slipped up, but still have a decent chance. Man Utd still have to play Liverpool soon, who are in form, and we still have them to play. So that game in hand isn't a huge worry to me.

I'm not really bothered who wins the league this year but I'd much rather have Arsenal lift the cup other than Man U or Chelsea because Arsenal haven't won the league in a while.
It looks like Portsmouth could grab the 5th spot for UEFA, we're 6 points behind Everton who are currently in 5th place but we have an easier run of games left than they do, because we're done with all the bigger teams now.

Newcastle will go down if they don't buck up soon. But the real question is what will come first; Newcastle sacking 'The Messiah' or Keegan bottling like it was 1997 all over again?
Any predictions for the CL?

Liverpool to beat Arsenal, sadly. They have a far better track record in Europe than we do. We'll just get one over them in the league in that week.
Chelsea to beat Fenerbahce, but marginally. It's the tie everyone wanted really.
Man Utd to beat Roma, but marginally again. They just seem to have much more depth than Roma.
And Barcelona to beat Schalke. It'll be the biggest shock if that one doesn't happen really.

So you're looking at a Chelsea/Liverpool (third time in four years I think) and a Barca/Man United Semi draw, that's probably what would happen although I'd persoanlly prefer Arsenal over Liverpool.
Although I'd hate an all-English final due to my a Arsenal/Liverpool Vs Man United final would be epic. The bragging rights for the winner of that game would be immense.

The difference between Arsenal winning the league or not is Fabregas. At the beginning he was unreal which meant Arsenal were amazing but because he has been less of an influence lately its starting to show slightly.
As for Man Utd, Ronaldo...enough said. Ronaldo's an absolute joy to watch, and at the moment he is on fire.
I think it will go down to the wire but Man Utd will win the league.

Man United just has a better depth to their squad than Arsenal tbh. Arsenal have done much better than I'd thought they would do but they sorta blew it in recent results it seems.
If this weekend goes badly for them then they can potentially be out of the running.
Edit: Also Becks is going to get his 100th Cap by the looks of it. Nice to see the young guns getting their chance.

I agree, Arsenal are much better at the open play sort of games which showed in their quality against Milan and throughout the Champions League and a lot of the season but find it more difficult in the nitty-gritty sort of games where teams get stuck in and try to stop them playing (like against us) whereas Man Utd have more players who are willing to get stuck in.

This is the key weekend for the title, I think. We need nothing but a win not just for the points, but to boost morale too. There's no one better to beat than Chelsea for that, except maybe Man Utd. We also need Man Utd to drop points, and with Torres in the form he's in right now I can see that happening.
I always knew Capello would give Beckham his 100th cap, just so he could have it. It does see | | | |
