The glorious march to CL qualification

I dont really think a North london derby is a proper away game, and their performances have been better against the bigger teams (not sure about results but they tend to play better from what Ive seen). To date they have a poor away record, and even if they didnt they have some tough games. This league is very strong, its not just about playing the big 6 and most of the teams in this league away from home are far from easy and Arsenal are 10th in the away league table.....
Who cares about the reverse fixture, the point is they arent that good away from home. They've got 32% of their points away from home this season which says it all.....

I thought we were very poor and they were just as bad to be honest. I didn’t think they had anymore control of the game than we did. They had some good chances, as did we.

My problem is that on paper the games Man U, Arsenal and Liverpool have v Wolves should've been tricky.
But you just know their focus will now be on the FA Cup semi and potentially a final, so expect rested players or that little lack of bite for fear of injury.

Their success rate is just over 45% away and just over 85% at home. If they maintain both, they should gain an extra 15 points, which will be comfortably enough for them to finish above us with what we have left IMO. I think they might do better than that, actually.

Well actually if we get the reverse fixture results at home we get 18 points don’t we
So it can work both ways
And your right about the arse ... they would have to improve their away form a lot
I wouldn't be so sure. Goons have 5 away wins this season, 3 of them against the bottom 3 and 0 against the top half of the table. Their next 4 away games are against the teams 7th-10th and imo, this is where they will fall down. Even against the Europa League sh1te, they have been poor away from home.

But they have won 5 away haven’t they?
This is where stats become an issue as you can spin it whichever way you want
And how did we do in our reverse fixtures of the ones we have left (which we played away)?

Actually, if you look at the average return for both clubs on what they each have left, it's 14 points apiece. Perhaps it could go either way, but on the other hand, our form has tanked, whereas theirs is picking up at the right time. I think it's between us and Man U for 4th.
you can increase wages £7M per year or increased revenue (not TV money) what ever is higher. Works out to be 135K p/w so without selling anyone its not a lot of cash for a rebuild.

Clubs will be able to increase their wage spend by £7m each season from 2016/17 to 2018/19 (an increase from the £4m a season during the current TV deal). Clubs can exceed this £7m cap if they generate increased revenue from commercial income, player trading and Match Day income. The Premier League rules are explained here - however they are a little complicated and this diagram should help explain how the rules will work for next season:

United will need to beat Chelsea and city for a start to get there IMO
And arse aren’t picking up form... their playing a lot of home games that’s all

13 points from 15 vs our 1. I don't think you can argue their form isn't better than ours, and as I've already said, it's tied at 14 points apiece out of the remaining games based on average form. Our current form isn't anywhere near our average, even if you don't think they are improving.

But in our run we played 3 of the top 6 didn’t we?
They played us and United and beat United as we know at home.

Yes, and we've also stumbled against much lesser sides. I worry that the added pressure to perform in the new home will get to our players as well. Spam game will be a big test.
Bedfordspurs
Mark Falco
See I see the new ground as a big boost for our players
You can see by their reactions what it means for them
And whilst people say we loss to lesser sides (we did) we lost to two teams away wheee we have appalling records (pool and chelsea) away to Burnley who were the form team at the time and southamlton which was a shocker as we played well enough to win by 3 or 4 and lost
But either way their defeats
It’s funny again thiugh with stats as my mates have been saying 10 defeats ignoring the fact we have also won the most games we have in the prem too I believe

Well yes, the run with zero draws was a bit freakish. Hope you're right about the stadium. Guess we'll soon know.

Chris Perry
Issues with moving stadium are usually because you move away from your home, not because you’re going back to it. We’ve been playing away for 2 years, so it’s, i think, reasonable to assume we’ll have an up turn in form now we can play at home again.

If we can keep the 2nd half performance going we will be fine, we have not played well for a while but there were signs in that 2nd half that we are through the worst. Lets be honest it was only poor finishing ( by us)and a howler ( another one) from Lloris that stopped us from getting all three points.
