At the time of writing, I am watching Arsenal held by Man
United after seeing Spurs held and Chelsea
win in the battle for Champions League qualification.
This weekend's draw with Wigan has put Spurs in a dilemma; we didn't necessarily expect Spurs to turn them over the way we did Man City, as Wigan generally hit form at this point in the season and Spurs are generally hit and miss.
The postponed game against Chelsea is proving to be a play-off for the final Champions League place, with Arsenal looking to take another place with a less challenging run-in. We never expected this season to be easy - the loss of Modric and Van Der Vaart, and the failure to sign another striker and loss of Adebayor's form overall has combined to leave Spurs looking at the end of the season with anticipation.
Of course Spurs, Arsenal and Chelsea (and their fans) would all love a crystal ball to know what will happen in mid May, as this is classic squeaky bum time.
For fans of those three teams, life will not be easy and with champions and 2 relegations sorted in the Premier League, not to mention the fate of other 'second' teams (bad luck Barnet), there remains little in the way of 'nothing games' where every kick counts.
