The 4th Place Race - Contender Watch

7 points? when we win tomorrow we'll be 1 point off them.

How come? They've still got a lot of tough matches and we are the most experienced team. It may be tighter but I still see us getting 4th spot, we've got our act together and we are finishing the season strongly.

You are quite correct they do still have a lot of tough matches ahead but so have we starting with Blackburn tomorrow.

I class that as a tough match for us as games that I once felt were fairly easy ones and felt pretty confident in winning, with the lack of creativity and cohesion this season I no longer do. Simple as that really.

I have said before I don't necessarily see us losing more games than the other 3 teams in the race for fourth but I do see us drawing far too many and that will be what costs us fourth just as it cost us the title last season.

I really really hope I get proven wrong!

That was a big blow. They still have United, Arsenal, Spurs and Villa, but we've got United and Chelsea. It's gonna be touch and go.

Yeah thats if we win tomorrow City have done thier job and it is up to us to do ours.

To be fair, if we cant beat Blackburn at Anfield, then we need to be asking ourselves a lot of questions.

Chelsea will be on their A game when they play us

Jesus, Aaron Ramsey has just suffered a broken leg. Horrible stuff.

1858: Shawcross appeared to be wiping away tears as he walked off in shock. Ramsey is being stretchered off. The likes of Thomas Vermaelen and Cesc Fabregas, in particular, look completely stunned. It's bringing back unhappy memories of the Eduardo injury at Birmingham. Ramsey has an oxygen mask as he is carried off down the tunnel.

Red card
Stoke red card: No, no, no. Even Ryan Shawcross looks traumatised by this - as are a lot of other players. Aaron Ramsey has suffered a horrific injury after a tackle by the Stoke defender. They aren't replaying the incident. I'm not surprised. Ramsey was holding his injured leg up in the aftermath and it was not at the right angle in any way. Horrible.

Not watching - was it just unlucky or a horror challenge?

What have Arsenal or Stoke got to do with the race for 4th place?

We can sneak in to 3rd, 2nd or even first if we win all our remaining matches.
