Even if we didn't win, 12 more games to go after that.

Anyway a win against United (our bogey team for ages) is now a must win. The title is looking unlikely as we've got hard fixtures to come but it's still a realistic possiblity. Let's not all just throw away all the good work we've done up to now on the basis of one terrible result.

If I was manager I'd believe, but only because I'd be trying to improve the team by signing quality players and using tactics.

I don't believe because of Wenger, he doesn't have what it takes and won't do the necessary.

I know and in terms of pure points, you are right but after defeats like this you've just got to get a win as soon as possible after it. It's the only way it can be forgotten.

All I can say is there's a lot of fools going around at the moment then.

I'll explain in layman's terms. 3 points against a small team is the same as 3 points against a big team. If we lose against City/Chelsea but beat another team that they lose to then it works out the same in the league.

Focussed on the 'you' and reckoned you meant 'you' in the context of you supporting another club and providing comfort to us.

I know what I mean.

In summary: my bad.

Understood - no worries. :)

Gooner till I die, only posting here to offer some optimism in a place I like to visit but has a hive mentality of doom. Lots of funny posts too though, which is why I sometimes like to read here. :)
