Na it’s called the big 6 now as sky didn’t want to upset their favourites

I was thinking this yesterday. That there isn’t really a big 6 anymore. Currently Arsenal and Chelsea are quite far behind the teams ahead of them. Arsenal’s Summer transfer window needs to the the best in their history if we want to start bridging the gap

I think City and Liverpool have now made themselves almost guaranteed top 4 for the next couple of seasons

If we could keep Toby and Eriksen and invest say £80-100m on a quality RB and CM then I would put us in that club too. Unfortunately this won't happen.

Arsenal have fallen away. They need a couple more transfer windows to get properly challenging.

I think Chelsea are in a real mess with Hazard likely to leave and another new manager coming into an aging squad.

Thing is, as we've shown, it can be done without the mega-spending but patience is needed.

How patient will the fans be because I do not expect Arsenal to spend the sort of money needed to really compete.

Cesc has already gone.

I think if this season finishes as it is, with the same top four as last season, and it happens again next season too then perhaps you can make the claim a new top four has been established. But it’s far too early to make that claim.

I think it’s just gonna switch around a lot from now on.

United are looking more like a top 4 side now

Respect to Ole!

I have a feeling a team that usually finishes below us and is right above us, will end up as per usual at the end of the season.

Everyone will then shrug their shoulders and ask what was all that kerfafle about?

You think they are going to make up 10 points on us?

I was only being half serious. Just thought I'd acknowledge one silly comment with one of my own.

I can see them beating Liverpool but to go above us and make up the 9 points deficit on us then they would need to beat you

If United do beat Liverpool, and we continue our great run, at some point the deficit with Liverpool will narrow down to a win only required.

If that means winning at Anfield, we can go and do the job.

Spurs have nothing to lose. Liverpool have everything to lose. Added pressure.
Also being at home, another pressure
COYS

A lot of ifs and buts there.

I think it will remain a big six for the foreseeable future. These six clubs all look considerably better than any team below them. I wouldn't be surprised if either Chelsea or Arsenal got themselves together and finished top 4 next season. Also you can make the argument that even in December this season this new 'big four' would have included Chelsea and not Man Utd.

I have a feeling you won’t make Anfield this season but rely on Sky and BT.

You're a mess.

Apparently moregreaves is in his 50s or something. It makes him even more embarrassing. Always thought he was a kid

All makes sense.... Spurs will have to invest in the team at some point to remain top 4 challengers. What happens with Eriksen could dictate how well we do next year. if he does leave, the recruitment to replace him/ strengthen the team overall needs to be spot on. Can't see Arsenal in the top 4 for a while and we all know what happens the year after Chelsea have a crap season. City, liverpool and united are locks.... lots of questions re the others. Spurs being in the CL places for 3 straight years means nothing come the start of next season

Not many at all fella. Can’t stand Wembley. I am due back a lot of money for not attending this season. I am going to Dortmund on Weds with Dws Mighty and Sizzle though. I’m going to the away leg in Dortmund too
Doubt I’ll do any more EPL home games this season unless we move into WHL
