    It's not any less on then it was before we played Swansea, We have kept pace. It will be a miracle if we win it, but I wouldn't write us off.
    The times they are a changin'.

      I think you'd have to say we are simply based on points. I don't think we'll win it but being only 4 points off the top of the table with 11 games to go suggests we are albeit unlikely contenders.

        They say that good strikers win you games and good defences win you leagues, based on today's defensive performance we have no chance of winning the league if we defend like that.
        The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.

          If there was one team out in front, then they might be catchable due to a slip up combined with a title winning charge from us.

          But there are three of them. To catch and overtake them all this late in the season is a humungous ask.

          We're 11 points ahead of 5th, which pretty much means we have European footy next season. Just need to shake Spurs off and we're almost there.
          Oh I don't know.

            But we defended like that today and still won the game. Repeat that for the rest of the season and we win the league. Stay positive

              I don't think we'll do it but we're certainly in the race for the title.

              As you say though the objective this season was getting back into the top 4 and at present we're doing what we need to get there.

              1 point better off than in the 08/09 season at the same stage

                Arsenal have to play Chelsea and Man City so there's dropped points among our challengers. I still think we have what it takes and provided we beat City and Chelsea we can win it

                  Really need Norwich to do us a favour against Spurs today but cant see it.

                    It'd be nice wouldn't it.

                    A 6 point gap to 5th and 11 to 6th would be very nice indeed!

                      I can't see it either, Spurs will win this one way or another

                        That's a lot of ifs before you even take into account our other remaining 9 or so games.

                        There will be many more dropped points, from all teams, including us.
                        Oh I don't know.

                          This next game away to Southampton is a big worry with the way they play.

                            I saw a dead fish on the pavement and thought "what did you expect?"
                            There's no water round here stupid, should have stayed where it was wet

                              0-0 after 25 minutes.

                              2 shots to 1

                              0 on target

                              Sounds like a blinding match..
