Very tough games coming up next, Newcastle, Sp**s and united. Doesn't feel impossible to get 9/9 there though, long time since I felt that way! Really wanna crush United. They are so cocky they won earlier in the season

Don't forget about Brighton. They won't be a push over.

Brighton (A)
Newcastle (H)
Sp**s (A)
United (H).

I think if we can take 7 points from those games that's not bad. 2 wins and a draw definitely not bad. We are going to lose and drop points against teams we should beat. That's football.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

The next games are difficult but when you win lot of games before that you can afford to drop points in some games.

I know we can't stop winning but it's impossible to win 30 games in this league. I think we'll win against Brighton and Manutd Newcastle we'll likely get a point won't be surprise we win even this but they too good

Well, not for us this season really. We just win

Nearly half way there with 23 games to go, I think its certainly possible for us to do it this season. Difficult, obviously, but certainly not impossible.

Yeah the way we going i only expect to drop points at Newcastle man city Sp**s and Liverpool away other than that i fancy us winning most of remaining games.

 

[Entropics]

If we get Super Mik Oliver in any of our league games against City, we win the PL

Agree on Brighton.
That’s the only game to care about right now.

Hard to see us not dropping points at some stage against weaker opponents. Whether that be an off day, a red card, a freak deflection or whatever. The most important thing is keeping that gap so if/when it does happen it's not as costly as other seasons.

We’re in such a good position now that we can actually go on a bad run , like 3 straight losses, and still be in the thick of the title race.
One game at a time though is the order if the day.
Hoping for Leeds to shock City too !

Hoping for Leeds to shock City too !

If they can do that insane 2nd half press they did against us there's definitely a chance.

 

[Tir Na Nog]

Only three times in PL history has teams had more points than us at this stage. Twice the same, every time went on to win the title

 

[Dennis_Bergkamp_10]

We are going for the title. No more nonsense about top four, that's in the bag already.

Let's hope Leeds get something from the City game. Pep will want to win the CL in his time there, he will focus on that.

 

[grange]

When is our makeup game against City? Has it been officially scheduled yet?

They are waiting for us to get into bad form to schedule it. City are scared.

Good. They’ll need to wait a while. Hopefully till the second to last gw when we’re still 8 pts clear 😈

 

[GoonerJeeves]

Pretty sure we'll come up short for the title. Stoked we're challenging for it.

 

[RacingPhoton]

I think we can do it if we could go through the season with not many injuries. I am especially scared for the midfield. If either Partey or Xhaka gets injured, we are in Elneny/Sambi territory.

Arteta needs to use the bench more intelligently. He should have taken off Partey on 70 minutes yesterday after we'd gone 3-1 up and the game was won. Left him on against hurt, malevolent bubble-blowers who could easily have injured him to get some revenge. And bringing Elneny on for 20 seconds is really an insult.

Would have been good to give Cozier Duberry 10 minutes or so.
