We can still do it lads

[thesilverfoxlfc]

To far behind lets get second at best but 3rd will do and a Cup

[Red_Polo]

Why limit ourselves though? Just look to win every game, and then see where we are as the business end of the season approaches.

[SouthAfricaRed]

I think this season still has a lot of twists in it. Definately not a Two Horse race in the League.

Let's see what the position is at the end of March, before giving up on anything

[ronan]

possible yes probable no

I'm usually a glass half empty man myself but i''ve been really impressed with use in the past few weeks and particulary the new boys, Bellamy's looking good, really good, Gonzalez is looking sharp and looking that skillful,
pacy player we all heard about before, even Pennant looks confident.
Gerrard's starting to pull thw strings again and is scoring and Xabi is getting his passing range.

Like i say if we can stay in touch with the top 2 we always have a chance but yes it wuldn take a massive effort to actually win it.

That's all well and good marky, but sooner or later, we'll have to play someone good.

I'll wait to see if we **** them, before i reach for the pom-poms.

Bit a cliche i know but 'you can only beat what is put in front of you'.

Yeah, and when good teams were put in front of us, we folded like a cheap hooker...

Anyone looking at the league table can see that we're a long way back even at this stage, but why be so pessimistic?



If the deficit can be cut to within even 6-7 points, then I think it's game on. If Rafa and the players were as downcast as some of us lot, they wouldn't bother showing up.


As has been said... probably no, but possibly yes. It won't hurt to be positive.

There's being positive and there's being deluded.

Anyone that thinks we can still win the title, is unfortunately the latter.

I call it realistic.

I would loathe to have an employee such as yourself in my company. We must still believe until it's mathematically impossible for us to win it. The chips aren't down yet, so we should fight for that title. Manure WILL lose points as well as Chelski ... It's impossible for them to go on this run until the end of the season. They had the more settled side at the start and we paid the price for having too many players bedding in. We'll come good, i am sure of that and we aren't 16 points worse off manure, because we finished the season 1 point behind them last season.

Excellent, post of the week Marky, your cuppeth brimmeth over with optimism!

That's what every decent man should aim to be. Dropping heads are for losers.

Lets see how we play against Arsenal this week - as a guage to our performance and current form. Once we beat the Gunners 3-1 then we can say we are back !

We have played average teams and have looked a bit "average" ourselves in all the games.

It is possible, hypothetically, but relies to much on everyone else falling down, and based on current form, that does not look likely.

[Red_Al_77]

If we beat Manure, Chelski and Arse at home then we'll win the league.

[jayjay]

If we beat Manure, Chelski and Arse at home then we'll win the league.

I agree.

[captainfog]

We have about as much chance of winning the league this year as England have at retaining the ashes

We will finish comfortably third though
