At what point do we start having to worry about Forest?
At what point do we start having to worry about Forest?
You used to be everything to me
Now you're tired of fighting
At no point. I mean...they're not going to win the league. If they do finish above us then all that means is we won't have even finished 2nd. And honestly, if we're not winning the title I couldn't care less where we finish.Originally Posted by WMUG
Are you sure you're not drifting into HCZ territory here? Given our dubious form, who's to say Forest won't be the ones to capitalise if Liverpool stumble?
Our dubious form where we’ve scored more goals than Forest, conceded fewer and are only behind them because we’ve played one game fewer? That and we beat them quite handsomely in November
Forest are on an excellent run of five wins on the bounce which no team (including Liverpool) has achieved but all things in perspective
My reasoning is Leicester’s achievement, while remarkable, was done in a season when all the usual suspects were misfiring or rebuilding. They won the league with 81 points and we were second with 71. That isn’t the situation now. Liverpool are doing what they’re doing, Chelsea and us are clinging to their coattails. As well as Forest are doing it just seems vanishingly unlikely that Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea and Arsenal will all drop off and Forest will nip in.
That and Leicester weren’t seven points behind the league leaders having played a game more at the half way point
I think they are definitely champions league position contenders (although it’s a bit of a curse for teams like that, like it’s been for Villa)
I hope come May, no one tries to rewrite our season by saying we are making progress, if we don't win the title this season, we have gone backwards.
EDIT: In fact, with the benefit of hind sight, I think we started going backwards last season, when we had a fully fit squad and still only achieved what we did the season before , especially when cracks had already started appearing in the Citeh machine.

Didn't we beat Leicester (I think twice) in the season you love to mention? How many magical trophies did that earn us?
More making the point that calling our form dubious is somewhat relative
Calling our form dubious is a kind understatement, I don't care what the stats say......and Forest, Chelsea and even Liverpool doing so well just re-emphasises that.
