Actually, the results of today summed it up even more perfectly. Newcastle and Tottenham miss out on chances to take over. This actually gives hope that they might still take third until it is ripped from our grasp with about 10 minutes to go next week.
Here is how 3rd/4th look right now:
Arsenal - 67 points (+24) - @ West Brom
Tottenham - 66 points (+23) vs. Fulham
Newcastle - 65 points (+7) @ Everton
Chelsea - 61 points (+21) - @ Liverpool, vs. Blackburn
Arsenal win, they get third, that simple. Newcastle need help with the goal differential and with Chelsea potentially winning the CL. I think Tottenham are actually in fairly good shape here. Beat Fulham at home and either an Arsenal loss or tie or a Chelsea loss in the CL final gets them in. (I'd put those odds fairly solidly in their favor)
