Arsenal still have targets by Sam P
There will be much wailing and hand-wringing that Arsenal's season has now definitely come to an unhappy conclusion as the gap to Leicester City now looks insurmountable, but with six games to go Arsenal still have much to play for. There is still the possibility that Leicester and Tottenham could lose every game from now on, but for the moment we are just 3 points behind Tottenham and getting above them must be our first target.
Also, if Man United do happen to beat Tottenham today we will have both Manchester clubs breathing down our necks in the race for the Champions League slots so we need to plug on, probably right untl the last game of the season. As Wenger said after yesterday's game. "Third in the league with 59 points. That is not where we want to be but we have made it much more difficult for ourselves now to have a chance to win the Premier League. We have to keep going no matter what and hope. You never know what can happen.
"As well, we have to look behind us as people are chasing us. We have to be serious and focus on finishing as high as possible. Where that is, I don’t know. This is one of the places where you could drop points but you see the game and feel guilty you have dropped points."
When you realise that West Ham are now unbeaten in a 16 game run stretching back to August, to take a point would look like a good result if it wasn't at such a crucial time of the season. But the fact is, we are where we are and we must keep going until the fat lady sings, and that may still be some weeks away!
