I'm going to be stupidly optimistic now.

I want to forget the run we're on, I want to forget the fact that we have a stubborn oaf as a manager. I want to say that the next two games are the ones that we will win and bring us right back into it.

Beat Swansea. Beat Spurs. Importantly, take 3 points off Spurs in the process. Then we're (at worst) only 2 points behind Leicester with them to play later on on the same day. For once, the pressure is on them. Heck, even if they beat a tricky looking Watford team at Vicarage Road, I think winning the two games by this time next week really gets us back into it.

As much as Wenger and the players will work to undo the hard work from earlier in the season, we have to believe, don't we?
