Whisper it, but Crystal Palace are in the Premier League’s top 10 with 10 games to go and, if they can stay there until the end of the season, it will be the first time they have achieved a top-half finish.
If they can do that, then I wonder if Arsenal might just look at such an achievement by Eagles boss Patrick Vieira and, if they themselves have finished in the Champions League spots, decide to go all Invincible by bringing home the club legend at Mikel Arteta’s expense.
I’m not dismissing what Arteta is doing — I asked him to prove he could get Arsenal into the top four and, with three games in hand and superior points on some of their rivals, he is looking good for that.
