If we beat Hull midweek (big if), is next Saturday's game v West Bromwich postponed due to the FA Cup? We should play Watford next weekend, I'm guessing.
A lot of if and buts and permutations, but if we do play in the Cup, we could be 4th and 11 points behind Leicester by next Monday :(
That's right. However until we start winning games again you can't consider us in it anyway.
Even the game v West Brom, a home banker in the past, seems ever so daunting.Quote:

We'll start playing for that, the title is long gone however, what will happen though is that we'll win a few Wenger will feel vindicated and talk about our unbeaten run at the end of the season and believe we're better than the best team on the planet, Gazidis will offer Wenger a new contract saying how lucky we are and how much belief they have and how they support Wenger 100% as he's does the best job possible for the club and the Arsenal fans that go to the stadium will forget everything that has happened before and think AW is god's gift to football. Next season, rinse and repeat. Sad but true, nothing ever changes at this club.Quote:

It was always about the performances, never about the results. All the excuses after those shit performances - good draw, that's a hard place to go to - they are our bogey team - it's the mark of a champion to win when playing shit. And so on. Yes, it's the mark of a champion to pub the odd result, but champions eventually leave the pub. We never did. A couple of times against Bayern and Utd. Even in the Utd game it was horrible to watch us slack off in that second half. The spray can was out ready to write on the wall, even during that game. In fact opening a brand new season and failing to turn up, that told us everything about Wenger and what was likely to unfold. But it's hard to say we're done on the opening day of a season - there's still such a long way to go and anything can happen.
But know this - with Wenger there is only one outcome. Poverty on the pitch and riches in the boardroom. That's his job. That's what he's here for and that's why he'll be staying despite this latest collapse.
Leicester were always winning it. You can tell when a team is in control of its own destiny. You can spot it. These are players committed to a clearly defined cause - winning. Marshalled by a manger who has one focus - winning. You can tell them they aren't good enough, you can talk about fairy tales, you can do all that but they keep their focus. No mercenaries, no prima donnas, 18 guys doing the business on the pitch being directed by one guy who knows what's important. Who even owns Leicester? We don't hear about it? It's not about them, it's about the team. Imagine that.
Leicester won't just win this - they'll walk it. I figure if we can drag ourselves out of this new Wenger low we might get 70 points. Think about how many games Leicester will have to lose for use to be anywhere near come May.
Meanwhile we better watch out for West Ham because there's another committed team behind a man who knows what he wants and what it takes to get it.
