    2. There's still a long way to go. A lot can change over half a season, teams can fall away. We have done this ourselves, other teams have done it too.

    Can we win it? Yes. Will we? I'm not so sure. City look ominous. But we are in with a shout
    That

    We're doing the sorts of things Champions do. We're not winning every big game but we've won a few.
    Liverpool at home was a great result - they'd have leapfrogged us had they beaten us. Newcastle away was fantastic - they've been pretty strong at home this year and had already beaten Chelsea and drawn with City. If we'd lost that then we'd have failed to go back top and Newcastle would have only been 3 points away.

    We're winning ugly in games where we've not played well and we're holding out in tight games when we're under pressure.

    The pressure will build, we've got a horrible run in March and my head says that when push comes to shove City and probably Chelsea have too much for us but we're doing enough to make me think we should be taken seriously as contenders this year

    It's just a pity we didn't beat Man U or Chelsea. Man U in particular were there for the taking but we played really shit.

    I think it's City's title to lose but it's great that we're in the running.

    I still can't believe we lost to Man U. The Spuds tore them to shreads in the first half yesterday, they could and should have been 2 or 3 up and that's no exaggeration.

    It's not just the Spuds either, I caught a bit of the Hull game and they took United to the cleaners in the first 20 minutes, even when they were chasing the game in the last 15 mins United were all over the shop.

    Honestly think it's a mental thing when we go up there, every bad result they get makes our result up there look worse.

    It was an illness thing. Half the squad had the shits.
    NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.

    We had some players with flu and we'd just played Dortmund away, wasn't it an early KO as well?

    I thought that was our worst performance of the season, couldn't keep the ball for more than 10 seconds.

    It's true we were shattered but I'm not convinced the result would have been much different, I agree with Lettuce that it's become a mental block.

    We've got them in a month so we won't have to wait long to see if we can finally bury the fuckers.

    Whatever the outcome, I just want someone to punch RVP in the nuts!
