THE RACE FOR TOP FOUR FINISH



The FA League is labelled the best league not because of the players or money but for the quality of football it produces week in week out. With just 9 games left the race for top four finish got interesting. With Chelsea sitting at 3rd position with 55 points, Tottenham with 54 on 4th and Arsenal sitting with 50 points on the 5th position. Arsenal and Chelsea have played one game less than Tottenham Spurs.

Last season Arsenal starting the season on a very low note but they managed to finish 3rd at the end of the season as they leap fogged Spurs. While Spurs saw their chance to play in the biggest football club competition being put on hold as Chelsea managed to win Champions league which meant they automatically qualify. Now the question on everyone's lips is that will Arsenal manage to do what they have been doing all this past year since the appointment of Arsen Wenger. Arsenal has qualified for Champions league for 15 consecutive times. Will they manage to continue with their impressive record? Only time will tell as all this three club are hungry for Champions league action.


Arsenal is currently enjoying a good run of form from their last two games; as they beat one of the best clubs in Europe Byern Munic 2-0 but unfortunately crashed out of the competition with the away goal rule and went on to win their league game against Swansea which kept them in touch of the top four teams. And on the other hand Spurs poor run have let Arsenal back to the challenge for top four finish, as they lost two consecutive games against Liverpool and Fullham. Now the pressure is more on Tottenham and AVB than Arsenal and Arsen Wenger. Because Arsenal have proven to manage to qualify for the past 15 seasons, while Spurs turns hot and cold when this time of the season approach. This is one of the reason why FA is the best league in the world.
