I actually agree with this, but given the early season wailing and gnashing of teeth I think we're sitting quite pretty right now.
The difference I see this time from previous times when we've been in similar positions is players like Ozil, Sanchez & Cech. Those are players who can win you a title. And the results against the Manchester sides is encouraging - both at home, but encouraging results in 6 pointer games we have traditionally messed up.

I don't agree with people saying we can only win the league if we sign in January but it would push us on. Even without signings I think we have a chance but we will be more at the mercy of injuries and we all know what our record is like there. A long term injury to people like Ozil or Sanchez could stuff it up for us.
