Who the hell is that in your avatar? Blinding goal!

We should be able to beat Chelsea because they will miss some key players because of the African Nations Cup.

We can beat Arsenal if they get one or two of their key players out injured/suspended.

Man U is the big problem.

We win our game in hand (obviously )

That puts us on 39 points. I think only one of the Arse or the Mancs will be able to replicate their form in the second half of the season and double their tally, thus reaching at maximum around the 90 point mark . That means it's 90 points to win the title (our goal difference will be the best, mark my words.

So 51 points from 19 games sounds tricky, but it is in fact only 17 wins and affords us two losses. Who (honestly) are we going to lose to? We play Chelsea during the African nations (3pts), there is absolutely no way the mancs can scab us AGAIN (3pts) and i honeslty think we'll be too good for the young Arsenal team second time round (3pts). HOWEVER, part of me is a realist and i think on balance we'll probably lose to one of these, accounting for one of our losses. That means against the rest of them prem (which is IMO generally pretty dross) we can still lose another game providing we win the rest.

And that's assuming a team reaches 90pts, which is pretty unlikely, 85/86 might nick it.

JOB DONE.

It's time to go on a tear, and we have the squad to do it.

We are a scant 6 points off the pace (game in hand being a win) and we have been without Xabi and Daniel for way too long.

Take Giggs and Rio out of Manure for the same time period and they are sunk well below where we are right now.

Take Fabregas and Gallas out of Arsenal for the same time period and again, not even close to challenging with their bench.
Xabi is back to first team football. Agger has been given the pre-emptive OK to play very soon.

I'm not creating excuses for our league standing, as I am actually very proud of where we are compared to last year. Last year we had 10 total losses. At the halfway mark we had 5; we are now at 2. We won't get anywhere near last year's loss mark, so it is already going to be a better season. We had 31 points at this time last year; right now we have 36. Our goals for and against is absolutely impressive compared to last years, and with a healthy Agger and Fabio coupled with Fernando and Stevie staying on or near current form, it will only get better.

As I write this, Arsenal drew Portsmouth 0-0; a team we handed a 4-1 thrashing just last week. Other teams will drop points. We are still in the drivers seat, and still the masters of our own destiny.

Bring it.

Unfortunately, having contacted the Premier League, they refused to remove points from Man Utd and Arsenal on those grounds.

As i was so sure too...

wasn't it the last goal he scored for them ?

[Flake]

nah, the Zlatan goal has to be ****, as it was scored against a dutch defence.

Put together a run of form like we did a couple of seasons back. Simple. Only of course it isn't, getting 17 wins is anything but simple. It can be done though, and it can be done by us.

It is not impossible, it is also possible that the teams around us could lose form or have some serious injuries.

[rage]

we'll win it by playing one game at a time, playing our strongest 11 and strengthening in january. with a slice of luck

Just because we once had a virgin birth, doesnt mean we should expect miracles EVERY year
