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.

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.Originally posted by rcasemore View PostI 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.
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.

I don't think we'll do it but we're certainly in the race for the title.Originally posted by dom9 View PostIf 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.

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 itOriginally posted by dom9 View PostIf 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.

I can't see it either, Spurs will win this one way or anotherOriginally posted by Leyton388 View PostReally need Norwich to do us a favour against Spurs today but cant see it.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.

That's a lot of ifs before you even take into account our other remaining 9 or so games.Originally posted by Norbs View PostArsenal have to play Chelsea and Man City so there's dropped points among our challengers.

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