with FA Cup matches this weekend.....Chelsea idle in the Barclay's tables...

picking up three against a relegation side like Burnley will put the Gunners right back in as a favorite.

a nice ovation for Aaron Ramsey before the match.

Man U. with a chance for three against the Wolves later...things should really get tight with these three teams at the top now. On the other hand, Tottenham getting left behind in the race.

A favorite? Didn't United hand them there lunch at the Emirates several weeks ago? Man U already had their slip up, I don't see them faltering again, their track record is proof enough. Same thing with Chelsea and IMO, it will come down to April 3rd when United host Chelsea.

Who cares if Man U smashed them in league play? You can afford to lose games like that and still compete. Its losing points to the middle of the pack and bottom feeders that irks me.

like it or not, it's a three horse race...and all three seem equally in position to make a run...if United thinks it will all come down to a 4/3 match with the Blues (and I'm quite sure they do not share your hubris), they will be at risk for dropping a key match to a quality middle of the league side, like they did to Everton two weeks ago. Liverpool is coming up.

ManU, Sir Alex, and Rooney will get this 'ship for a 4th straight
