What do you mean, when it matters? It always matters but really you win the title in the last 10 games, not the first 10.
What we can't do is let anyone get too far ahead of us like we did last year. 5 points at this stage is nothing.
If we'd lost the first 4 games I'd be worried, so long as we're pubbing results and staying in touch that's fine for now.
Obviously I'd be happier if we'd won all 4 games convincingly but that wouldn't make us champions elect any more than our results and performances so far make us alsorans.
Your whole argument about whether we could challenge before the season started was based around the fact we matched them stride for stride last season (Chelsea) and just started badly, now we've done it again you're making excuses as to it not being that important and that's it's only once you get to 10 games that you'll find out whether we can challenge, that sounds like moving the goalposts to me.

We've shown time and time again we can't maintain a run for the entire season and that when it really matters we collapse, yes we can go on a run when we're 6th and in with no chance of the title but there's no expectations then.

We've started poorly and to me as I suspected are nowehere near good enough to be title contenders and Wenger once again has failed in the summer transfer window so far, with Wenger in charge we're always waiting for things to change when in reality they never do.
