4 points off

[Craig_H]

Arsenal haven't played anyone yet. look at their fixtures so far:

Fulham H
Blackburn A
Man City H
Portsmouth H
Spurs A
Derby H
West Ham A
Sunderland H

Three of last year's bottom seven teams, plus two of the three promoted teams. Only Spurs away can be counted as a big game, and that only because it is their Derby.

I'm not denying they are playing well. But I wouldn't get carried away with their form until they've played a few more tough games.

I'm disappointed that we dropped two points yesterday, but am not too unhappy with our position. If we are within 6 points at Christmas I'm convinced we will win it with a rotation inspired late run.

Apart from being 'convinced' that we'll win it, i tend to agree.

We DO need to step it up soon though, before it's too late.

Their home games haven't been too tricky but away from home all 3 fixtures have been tricky but they've picked up 7 points from 9.

At six points adrift we can't afford to lose to them at Anfield in 3 weeks or we'll have given ourselves one hell of a gap to close

we will beat them at the collesium

I'm not being radically confident, i'm just acknowledging that Arsenal have had easy games and that it's too early for us to be dismissed. But we need to step it up before it IS too late. 12 point gaps wont be easily closed.

Until the last couple of games, Man Utd were supposed to be in crisis. Now they're ahead of us, even if we win our game in hand. Odd time to start this thread.

But aint that the point? We've hit a bad patch and still within touching distance.
Granted we need to turn things around, and fast.

one game in hand over united and only four points behind. no championships were ever given out in the first week of october so lets keep a bit of perspective.

Yeah but we were AHEAD with a game in hand before we starting being charitable with points...

Make no mistake, if we lose another couple of games in the next few weeks and Arsenal/scum win their's, you can consider it officially beyond us.
