Looks like the top three are likely to be Chelsea, Man Utd and Arsenal just wondered who people thought would claim the other top 4 position.

brum lol

Yeah, I know it a long shot but as they up there, just one point behind Liverpool, I thought someone was bound to say why aren't they an option if I didn't include them. After all Ipswich almost made the top 4.

Everton will go close imo.

Rafa's guaranteed it so the poo get my vote, plus I'm not too fond of the other pretenders.

Mind you if Arteta were to suddenly appear in Everton's lineup I'd give them a squeak.

LOL at Liverpool, id like to see it, but not a hope in hell of making top4!

I think its either Spurs or Man City.

Spurs have a fantastic team just now, who clearly enjoy playing for harry and each other, but man City look really good now they have finally put a good manager in place.

Spurs just win it for me thou


Note: i would have put Villa close to it but after the West Ham game it just show's yiu that they ain't ready for it yet

For me if Liverpool win tomorrow then it will be them. If not then Man City or Tottenham or maybe Aston Villa

Fancy Man City if they get out of their habit of drawing with everyone! Their squad is immense.

Meh, are they really though? I love city, I think they play some really good football, but I think their squad isn't that good. For example, players like Zabaleta, Garrido, Sylvinho, all aren't good enough. Their "first choice" aren't even that good either. Toure and Lescott are a huge leak at the back, I think Richards is dodgy and Bridge has had lots of problems this season too.

Gareth Barry used to be a left back at Villa, they have a huge amount of midfielders, could they not drop him back to LB at least when Bridge is out? I think Tevez is good upfront but none of the other strikers are world class imo. Santa Cruz, Adebayor, Benjani, Robinho are all not good enough. Next season I think they will definitely challenge for the title after they buy a few world class players.

IMO they should build their team around Given, Barry, Ireland, Bellamy, Tevez but even then they aren't of the same calibure as Chelsea where you have, Cech, Cole, Terry, Lampard, Essien, Drogba and Anelka.

It's a tough situation, but a really intriging one and I look forward to City becoming a household fixture in the top four.

See I rate Robinho and Adebayor alot of people don't. I think Robinho would be a sick winger if they played him there more often and Adebayor to me is like a better version of Crouch. He's the sort of player that has an advantage against most teams defences due to his height, strength and finishing.

city obv...

i wonder how many non liverpool fans voted for the bin dippers to get 4th spot!

this

close but not close enough...

Just checked out the odds @ Paddy Power

Man City 4/5
Tottenham 2/1
Liverpool 11/5
Aston Villa 7/2
Birmingham 40/1
Fulham 100/1
Everton 100/1

Seems about right to me!

Everton are a great punt.

This is why liverpool will be 4th. The rest aint good enough.

Can't believe so many thought Liverpool would come 4th. Looks like they will be lucky to qualify for the Europa Micky Mouse Cup next season.

They will be in the UEFA cup as holders next season ;).

I would like to see the thread from the start of the season were IIRC nobody was giving City a sniff of making the top 4. They look pretty good for it now.

I do remember chatting in the pub last summer saying which of the big 4 would drop out and be replaced by City. I did however think it might take a couple of seasons for that to happen. Probably would have taken two seasons if it wasn't for Liverpool being so bad this year.

Before we sold Alonso we were probably tipped as much as Man U to win the league.

LOL

Being tipped by the KOP maybe

25-30 years before you sold him maybe

Some people even tipped Liverpool after Alonso was sold, half way though the season when they were 7 points behind 4th place and playing pants  ;ashamed;

By BBC and Sky pundits too. No such love from the London rags obv.

Pretty sure Spuds have this looked now?

having to play United, Chelsea and City?

city has it locked imo

Tottenham Hotspur                 BIG in the game!
