Leicester
Spurs :-(
Arsenal :-)
City.
weird, I had the same though earlier. What will the truth of this period be like when it finally emerges? We've had hints from the players that have left. I wonder what the likes of Ozil and Alexis will say? You can see the frustration etched on their faces during the games these days.

It remains to be seen. The defeatist attitude is a logical outcome from what we have observed but it's infinitely less crazy to say we can't win the next 2 games than saying Leicester fucking City would be top of the table at the start of the season. This season has proved more than at any time I can remember that football can be a very unpredictable sport and anything can still happen. I won't give up hope before it's completely out of reach. 5 points behind Leicester and 3 behind Spurs is no major cause for concern in itself. We've all seen how dire we have been recently and it really is the same old story. But I'd much rather get behind my team and see if we can make it for the final stretch.

I have been off this forum for a very long time - reading sporadically but not contributing.
Letters - I know the crowd has been against you; so much so you may have been the only positive voice on here perhaps (not been reading enough to know for sure). I would say if you are one who is still going to the games then please try keep the atmosphere positive. We all agree Wenger needs to go but much better to focus on that at the end of the season. If supporters can add a few % to the morale of the team then that could be the difference.
Edit - reading back it doesn't come across as I intended. I mean to support you rather than pressurise you. The atmosphere at the stadium is pretty bleak from what I can tell and who can blame the fans for that. But if those who can remain positive do, then it could rally us a little. And with the title race as mad and unpredictable as it has been; every tiny advantage could help.

I understand your humour NQ as well as the seriousness of the point you are making. But wouldn't you agree that it's better to just get behind the team until the season closes? After that extreme inquisition and relentless persecution of the fools in charge should commence, assuming that we predictably make a big mess of things.

I wouldn't be amazed at all. I'm certainly not brimming with confidence but you have to look at it both ways. The Spurs players will be under enormous pressure themselves. As much as we are undoubtedly deserving of the title bottlers, you can only say it doubly against them. Sure, they have looked very tidy this season but to think they are going to just walk it the rest of the season is unlikely I would say. I can see a lot of cracks appearing in all our rivals, just as we have seen with ourselves.
