Will we win the league?

[Marc Overmars]

The form of City and Chelsea is ominous now because they seeme to have ironed out the silly results they were prone to earlier in the season, however we've also kept winning and responded well to 2 demoralising defeats in Manchester, so we have enough about us to not just collapse and fall away. If we don't win the league it'll be down to lacking a top striker and a ruthless streak. We're efficient at the moment but a quick 15 minute spell won't be enough to see off our rivals like it is with the pub teams, we'll need to raise our game - like we did when we beat Liverpool because that's probably our best performance season and needs to be held up as the blueprint.

Yep, we can and we will win it. 22 games gone and top, the best record in 2013 and now in 2014, the best defence in the league, if we finish as strongly as last year then even the billionaires can't catch us. Of course we have to cope with injuries and suspensions while the chasing two don't, that could change things. But bad stuff could happen to the gypos, like a mercenary revolt, or the chavs like John Terry murdering all the black players in the team. A half decent ref in the gypo game and we can beat them, we can certainly beat the chavs. We've already beaten Liverpool and were half dead when we played Utd, we can beat both in the returns. Just got to make sure we keep picking up the three points against lowerplaced opponents (which, oh look, is everyone else in the league). The players need to believe - which sort of means the fans cheering them on need to believe. Therefore unbelievable the "nos" are winning this poll. WTF?

Its not unbelievable at all. We have seen it too many times before where we don't consolidate a lead by adding quality, inc twice being champions but not putting up much of a fight to retain. Everyone in football knows we need to strengthen upfront, its not just about Giroud getting injured, he's not going to score enough goals for us to win the league & we've lost Theo's dozen a season - everyone but Wenger. We won't add to the squad this Jan but hope we can buy a couple in the summer. Unfortunatley so will Chelsea, Man City & Utd. SWARR says he hopes Wengers doesn't take the risk to add in Jan, I say can we afford not to.

I don't think a poll on a web site the players have never heard of is going to make the difference tbh.

Defensive mechanism. Low ball and play down expectation so it doesn’t sting so much if we fail.

Shouldn't we pause and reflect on the fact we're even asking the question? Doesn't that in itself mean this season is very different to the norm? It'd be great to strengthen up top, but if we don't then what we are left with is the team that has grabbed top spot over the first 22 games of the season. At the start of the season if we'd had a poll asking if we'd be top after 22 games then we'd be seeing the same result, no, no, no chance. And yet here we are. As we all know, the gypos are the "Team of the Century" (TM), but we're still above them. How did that happen? Why haven't we been blown away yet? Why haven't we collapsed as normal? If we go on the evidence of the season so far then of course we can win it. Just keep doing what we are doing and we'll win it. Besides, it appears I need to go onto Blue Gypsy Camp in May and gloat, I know the lads won't let me down and deprive me of that pleasure.

If a butterfly flaps its wings in Ecuador then... something else happens somewhere or something like that. So stop flapping and let the butterfly do it.

We can win the league, but I think we will come up short through no fault of our own and end up second. But to do this, I think it is imperative that we get a result at the Bridge.

Man City simply have too much resources at their disposal and are now managed by someone competent. The window for well managed football clubs winning the league closed with Mancini's sacking.
