6 points off the top? It's realistically do-able.

Re: 9 points off the top? It's do-able.

it's not like Chelsea and Manu have been unbeatable this season. I'm sure they are going to drop more points. We just need to concentrate on going on a good run and take as much points as possible. They still have to play eachother and I think there's a good chance either one or both of them will drop points tomorrow.

Re: 9 points off the top? It's do-able.

I guess only time will tell but I'm not sure why you guys think that these 2 teams are more likely to drop points than us. They have everything going for them, are full of confidence and have the mental strength to win things but we haven't...to each his own I guess.

We have been pretty consistent beating the weaker teams this season. United and Chelsea have a lot of tough fixtures for the remainder of the season, including a game each other.

Believe it or not, but we have been better at taking all three points against the teams out of the top 4 this season than both United and Chelsea.

Re: 9 points off the top? It's do-able.

Its funny how 3 points can change everything...

If either Man U and Chelsea drops points tomorrow or in the weekend, and we win, the tone and attitude of this thread will change. Suddenly everyone will believe. Its just that Swish trying to get across to everyone.

I salute your effort,Swish. We need more people like you on this forum.

Chelsea, Man U and Arsenal will drop points. The question is just which of the teams it will be and more importantly, how much points will be dropped.

Comparing the fixtures, like someone have done above, will simply show we have good chance to get some points back on our rivals. Neither Man U or Chealsea will survive their tough fixtures completely. They will drop points..

...So the big question is really whether we will drop less points then those two and if that will be enough for the silverware?

Only time will tell. One thing is sure though and thats its way, WAY too early for this negativity.

Re: 9 points off the top? It's do-able.

It's time for realism we need to realise we are in a fight for 4th place now and forget the title. A loss tonight and all of a sudden Man City will take us if they win their games in hand and all of the other clubs are within distance.

Re: 9 points off the top? It's do-able.

Forget about it. If we still win we've just won the lottery.

CL from here on out.

Re: 9 points off the top? It's do-able.

We need to win all of our remaining matches.

Even a draw will put a big dent to our title hope as I don't see chelsea and man utd will lose more than 3 games from now on, but they are not invincible from a series of draws.

Re: 9 points off the top? It's do-able.

Man U probably wouldn't. Barring an injury to Rooney or any other similar catastrophe (not that there could be anything worse), this is the time of year when they are strongest and most consistent. They've proven that time and again. It's almost impossible to overturn them now.

Re: 9 points off the top? It's do-able.

Thats why I envy the red devils. They have a annoying habit of deciding when they peak and keep up that high level for long time.

They had a "poor" fall and still they are up here. And now they are peaking.. Sjees. Monsters. I hope Aston Villa will contain them tonight.

Re: 9 points off the top? It's do-able.

85 points will win the title this season. The way the season has panned I fancy 85 will be good enough.

As it stands we are 36 points off that marker with 14 games to play. We are going to need to on an astronomical run to pick up 36 from the remaining 42 points. Even if by some stroke of luck we do it both United and Chelsea are well capable of surpassing that mark (I think both won't though).

Re: 9 points off the top? It's do-able.

realistically we are out.

Thats what people said after our first loss to Chelsea yet we went top after that.

Another season down the drain.

You should google the words "champions league"

So you think we will win the league and/or Champions League this season?
Ok.

I'll bump this post at the end of the season and we'll see who's right then. Another season of nothing, I guess if you want to call a Top 4 finish a successful season then you are happy.

Another 'I told you so' post from a fan wanting to see the Arsenal fall flat on its face to prove him right.

Far too many of these types on this board imo.

Re: 9 points off the top? It's do-able.

We absolutely must win today and Chelsea and Man Utd absolutely must not.

We'll see what the situation is at 10pm tonight. If we don't win, then I think it's safe to say we have no chance of making-up the gap.

So wrong. But thanks for putting words into my mouth, I'll let you know when I want you to say something else.

I fail to see how being realistic equals wanting the club to fall flat on it's face.

Saying that you'll bump up this thread at the end of the season to show how wrong somebody is, is just saying that you're waiting for the told you so moment once the team fails.

I'm absolutely wanting to show that he is wrong and anyone else who thinks we can still win the league is wrong. He seemed to think that we can come back and win it, of course I want to show him that I am right.

Unfortunate, but very realistic. I don't see how that equals wanting our club to fail.

Grow up?

I'm sick and tired of idiotic questions like "So you think we will win the league and/or Champions League this season?" If you want to bump this thread in some vain attempt to prove yourself right you tell me exactly who is going to win the CL? Go on, seeing as you know everything!

We can win the CL, same as a number of other teams. Its a cup and its unpredictable.
