At what point could we be in the title race?

Unless there's someone else with your username I saw comments from you on another forum yesterday spreading your usual negative "we have no chance" message. You must be fun to go for a pint with.

In 1991 Denmark failed to qualify for the European Championship. Yugoslavia beat us to it. Then the war broke out and Yugoslavia couldn't attend and we got their place and won the whole thing. So there is a chance. But unless we are talking force majeur you can forget about it. Maybe if it was just one team we had to catch. We know that Chelsea doesn't throw more than 5/6 matches over the entire season ffs.

There is a fine line between being stupid and being optimistic...

So let me get this straight. If a war breaks out between Manchester and London, we have a chance

Or maybe a plane crash.

There is no chance that we can catch two teams. Maybe , and that's a big maybe, if it was only one. Two is impossible!

NEVER give up kidder

After the 3rd March.

If we have any chance of winning it this season then we will of have to have beaten Chelsea and Manure at home. By the 3rd March we will know.

agreed, only 13 points between us and the mancs, although we could have really done with the Blue****e winning yesterday. If we beat chavs and Manure, and manure drop points to the Chavs and Arsenal then who knows? Never rule out a comeback. It wont be easy, but we never do things the easy way do we!

Until we manage to beat some of the "big" teams, then we wont have a chance of the title; our only hope it for both Chelsea and United to suffer from a 4/5 game slump. Something which Chelsea haven't suffered with for over 2 years.

Looking at the fixtures it seems to me that Bolton and Portsmouth are going to have a lot to say about who wins this year.

For us it's simple we MUST win against the Manure, Chavs & Arsenal and then hope pompey and bolton do us a favor.

Manure haven't had an injuries yet, so hopefully that will account for a few points. And for some reason Mourinho insists on playing other than his best lineup until the 2nd half of games. Long may it continue and let's hope it bites him in the ass.

Let's take a status check after crimbo, and hope that Villa have a very strong month.

[paulcooper4]

If you include the fact that we are going to **** united and chelsea at our place, then we are only 10 and 8 points respectively behind them.

They only have to draw a few games for us to claw that back.

I am in no doubt that we will win the league

the 3 games over xmas will say a lot about us blackburn,spurs and bolton are 3 games we could win but just as easily come away with 1 or 2 points from when to be in with any chance we need 9 points

That's a key period, if we win 4 out of 4 over Christmas, the other two might drop a few points and things would then look fairly interesting.

But it's a tall order, Blackburn and Spurs away are not easy by any stretch of the imagination.

Agree. I can see our CMs being pretty knackered after those games. Can't see one where you could use Guthrie to give Xabi/SG a rest.

Watford at home on the 23rd is the only one.

especially with arse in the cup the week after new year

[El Jefecito]

Watford at home on the 23rd is the only one.

Which means that at least one of them will be playing a bunch of games in such a short period. Let's hope there are no injuries or we'll be up ****!t creek.

BTW When is Bolo back?
