I think without the break out of Ebola or whatever it was we probably would have got a draw but we most definitely have a demon or two to exercise about playing them.
with all the injuries and illness we have had over the festive period, we went and won all 4 games. real fight, heart and passion shown by all the players who played, they want this trophy. it really is time to believe. The Arsenal are back
In answer to my original question, I believe
I think that, now we play before at least one of Man City and Chelsea over the next few EPL fixtures, we need a clean sweep of wins in January. It puts the pressure on them (going 4 or 5 points behind the leaders respectively) thus putting them in a must-win scenario which, as we all know, is where the pressure can tell and the strangest of results can occur.
Couple to this a sudden fixture pile-up for City (they have an FA Cup replay and participation in the league cup final will inevitably put them a week behind in terms of premier league game) and I think they might just blink first.
Finally, with Chelsea and man city playing one another in a couple of weeks, this is bound to work in our favour.
All in all, I think that If we take a 4-point lead going into the game at Anfield in late Feb (which, incidentally, we also play before our rivals kick-off that weekend) then there are reasons to be cheerful.

I'll believe if we surve the 'March Madness'
The fixtures aren't too bad in terms of recovery time.
There's a potentially killer week beginning with the Man City home game if we get past Bayern though.
Would help to get pub teams at home in the FA Cup.
Our last 5 games are all pub teams. If we can stay in contention till then and we can hold our nerve we've got a real chance.
It's ON!
Even after the stumble we took at the saints, I still believe the title is ours this year. Chelsea dropped points yesterday and City still have'ta come to ours (and regardless of how good they look they will drop points elsewhere).
But then again as long as it's a mathematical possibility I always believe we can win it!
