We'll be ahead of Chelsea if we win our next two.

We'll need to win at least one of the game with Chelsea and City realistically but I don't think we will.
You think we'll win both don't you, you sly dawg you...Originally Posted by Marc Overmars

A great result against Spurs today, and a decent cup performance last week. But we were pretty hopeless against Spurs - 1st 25 mins aside - and logic says that we won't scrap the same result against Chelsea and Citeh. If we do - great. But like it always seems to be with Arsenal - the jury's still out.
Putting the laughter back into manslaughter
Pretty much this, really great result today which has gone a long way towards cementing our top 4 place.
If personally think we need to win both the Chelsea and Citeh games if we stand any chance of winning PL. We also have the small matter of hoping Liverpool choke, I don't know about you guys but I have strong feeling Liverpool are going to do it this year, yep I fancy them for the title. They have Citeh and Chelsea both to come to Anfield and I can see them beating both of them.
All that can be said with any certainty is that we need to beat at least one of the scum clubs, or at least avoid defeat in both games so that they don't pull away from us. There are far too many six-pointers between now and the end of the season to say that any team has a significant advantage, and the fact that they're shared between four teams makes it impossible to make any blanket statements about what we need to happen.
Singling out Liverpool at this point is assuming what can't possibly be known.

As we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns; that is to say, there are things that we now know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns – there are things we do not know we don't know.
Für eure Sicherheit
I can't take us seriously as title contenders, we haven't got results in enough of the big games. In seasons where we have won it we've tended to do well in those games. If we win at Chelsea then I'll believe we have some chance but I doubt we will.
A win at Chelsea would definitely raise some eyebrows. It's a huge game and we could really change the perception of us as being the weakest challengers.
It's a huge ask to win there though, Mourinho has never lost a home game with them and always seems to have the beating of his rivals.
I'd splaff my pants if we somehow got the 3 points.

Spurs: P2, W2, D0 L0
United: P2, W0 D1, L1
Liverpool: P2 W1, D0, L1
Chelsea: P1, W0, D1, L0
City: P1, W0, D0, L1
Overall: P8, W3, D2, L3
We've won as many as we've lost, though granted not against title rivals. Not as good as it could've been, of course, but not a disaster. Losing to both scum clubs would obviously be disastrous, but from practically speaking, I don't think we need to beat both of them to stay in contention. It's as much, if not more, about taking points off our rivals as it is getting them ourselves. I reckon 2 points from those two games would be better than 3.
