Forget Villa - it's Chelsea & Liverpool vs Us for 4th..

A few Arsenal fans have been saying (me amongst them) that Villa have had their fair share of luck in their recent performances and to a small extent that may be true but as Gary Player once said, "the more I practice the luckier I seem to get". So whatever luck they've had (or not) they are in a deserved position and leaves us (as we stand) with the intriguing possibility of a three way fight for fourth with us, Chelsea and Liverpool. As it stands none of them are in great form and it could even be that Everton sneak up as well.
What's quite odd is the media's incredulous dismissal of Aston Villa, unbeaten in ages, seven staright away wins and yet they a still have no chance of the title and only an outside chance of a top four finish. It seems they've refused to listen to the media and I for one say well played and I would, of course, much rather finish in the top 4 with one of either Liverpool or Chelsea outside.
This means, of course, that we need to win tomorrow for more than just the bragging rights and I'm not thinking it will be easy and I've not got too many good vibes about tomorrow. I just feel when there's a chance of him being found out, Harry Redknapp conjures up some luck from somewhere - I hope I'm wrong.
Not much better for FC Basel who staged a comeback today to get back to 2-2 after being 2-0 down to the Young Boys and then lost it in the last couple of minutes!

haha ye vs chelsea ya mean. villa will come 3rd. we are in no danger of fightin ye for 4th. we have a league to win dont ya know
Maybe! Never blog till the fat lady sings eh?
I think it looks like Chelsea could be our best bet at the moment anyway. Liverpool won't win the league though.
Sorry lads but Villa have the best form bar Man U in the league. Yous are dropping points all over the shop. You cant blame luck over and over for our performance. We have a good team and thats that, i did think Arsenal would catch us up but now it seems Everton are your worry now.
dude, you have lost your mind writing this article,,, you considering liverpool will have to fight for fourth ,, @#$% ,,,, please get some sleep man,,, all mishap that can happen ,, worst possible,, is they finish second over all
you guys are crazy. Our target is premiership title,we reason high not low. So chelsea,arsenal, villa and everton fight for your 3rd or 4th place
liverpool for life
Villa may not have the best chance against the so called top 4 but stop saying its luck, Man U have won game after game and no left any goals in at all, i dont see people saying thats luck. People say itas lucky if you get a goal pass them lol.
Ok i understand you's prob never admit we are better even if we finished 2nd! but just look at the way we play, we want to win for the club and our players dont think they are bigger then the club (coff coff chelsea players)
The Villa team have been playing so much better then Liverpool and Arsenal & Chelsea thats why we are where we are. Not luck.
