    I would actually have us as favourites now for the title. it is definitely ours to lose. we are the most settled side.
    Liverpool and Chelsea new managers, United and City have managers who probably wont be there next season. Leicester will fall away at some point, they don't have the depth if Vardy/Mahrez get injured. Spurs probably have the best manager they have had in years but they are Spurs and will do Spurs things when it really matters.

    I suppose the only issue could be the fact we have played United, Liverpool, Spurs, Everton and City all at home and only the Chavs away.

    But I do believe.

    I want to believe, but belief is something that has been encouraged many times over the past few seasons - only for us to have been left feeling let down when the familiar failings have crept in. This team has put in title winning half seasons a few times before, and still has to earn the benefit of the doubt. That said, I admire the way the team has responded to the loss of several key players, and we can now go into our next games with the hope, if not necessarily the belief that our form will continue - which is a good start.

    Doubts will remain until we actually go and do it, but results like last night encourage me. Giroud is criticised by Arsenal fans because he's not Henry and it's true he's not at the level of a striker who can almost single handedly win you a title but his record this season is good and players like Ozil and Sanchez can win you the league - we haven't had them on previous occasions.
    I believe we have the squad and mental strength to win the league, it's the endless injuries that could cost us.

    We could actually do it, you know.

    Letters woz rite all along. Maybe not so much about Wenger, but more on those back to back FA Cup wins giving our lot the desire, drive and bit of fortitude to go for the league title this season.

    I'm starting to believe again, even more than I did 2 seasons ago. Better to be on the hopeful, optimistic side than be a miserable git all the days of my life I reckon. If hope comes crashing down again, the same emotional investment will remain, meaning I'll still be supporting the club, so absolutely nothing to lose if I've been had once more.

    For me this is no more excuses time, the title is there for the taking if Wenger does the right things

    I think 'should' is pushing it but I do think we have a good chance this year.
    I don't know if 'Letters woz rite', but Letters does feel a bit vindicated so far, I thought we'd be in the title mix this year and so far, we are.
    Whether we stay there...well, that remains to be seen. I've endlessly listed the positive signs I've seen over the last couple of years which give me some hope but they have to go and do it and until they do doubts will remain.

    Hard to say yes because of all the false dawns over the last few years. Hope I'm wrong though

    No I don't think Should is pushing it, if we fail to win the title it's because we capitulated. Man City may have the strongest squad but we were without two key players last night and we beat them....you can say they played poorly if you like but we are four points in front of them which means as they are our title rivals (unless you realistically expect Leicester not to drop off) it's incumbent on us to do the business in our fixtures.
    It's very much in our own hands and because the Favourites are dead and buried and because City are erratic we are in the driving seat, we aren't minnows we have guaranteed our long term financial stability and in Sanchez and Ozil we have two players who could walk in to almost any other side in the world (we may be saying the same of Bellerin in the next year).

    We Should win the title because we have put ourselves in the position, we can beat anyone in this league on our day....so that should be the expectancy.

    Not very far from the season where Fergie stepped down and Moyes was in charge. We had a real opportunity that season. We had the money, we had plenty of time, the most stable team....could have been looking at a double.
