Who will win the Premiership this season?
Arsenal have a 5 point lead over Man Utd and when you compare the fixtures that both teams have until the end of the season, Arsenal have an easier run in the next few weeks than Man Utd do. See:http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/a/arsenal/fixtures/default.stm for the Arsenal fixtures and http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/m/man_utd/fixtures/default.stm for the Man Utd fixtures.
I think though that ultimately that the title will be decided with the Arsenal vs. Man Utd fixture on the 12th April. Can't wait for that one!
Liverpool are definitely out of the running now, but Chelsea could have a chance, but they would have to make up 9 points to beat us, so we would have to lose and on our form at the moment, we are unbeatable.
Arsenal will win the title!

Well, where do I start? The 4-0 drubbing yesterday to the hands of Man Utd was terrible, there is no other way to put it. I am not going to make excuses, on the day we played shockingly rubbish football and Man U were the better team. But there are two (2) things I will mention:
1) The pitch was awful, Man Utd's ground staff heavily watered it just before kick-off, which prevented us from playing free, flowing and on-the-floor football.
2) The Injury List: Adebayor, Song, Clichy, Sagna, Walcott, Rosicky, Van Persie, Senderos, Almunia, Diaby, Djourou and Denilson. Twelve (12) players out injured, of which 7 are first-team regulars, left us down to the bare bones. Both full backs were from the reserves (Traore and Hoyte).
I'm not trying to make excuses as to the loss, we had a good team playing, not a full-strength team, but a good one and Man Utd didn't have their full team out either, Ronaldo didn't even play!
There are positives to come out of this match though, Arsenal can now concentrate on the Premiership and the Champions League, but ultimately Man Utd played well and scored 4 goals to put them through to the next round of the cup and for the next few days (possibly weeks!) Arsenal fans will have to endure the various jibes from our Man Utd supporting friends, I know I will!
