I think let’s see.
Ultimately we can only rely on ourselves but as demonstrated the last fortnight teams are taking points off others.

Why worry about those games. Just concentrate on us we keep winning and there is nothing others can do. 45 points from 20 games wins us the league

It’s technically 52 points from 20 games needed, as Arsenal have twenty games left, so could theoretically reach 96 points.
Of course, the reality is that we won’t need that many points. I’d say fourteen wins from our last twenty games would definitely be enough.

Hoping that Arsenal get beaten by Brentford or Brighton next week and ‘give up’ on the title and instead putting everything in the domestic Cups and delusionally the CL.
I don’t think Arteta will be able to recover from another season without a trophy.
Im going on 90 been the number no team is going perfect.
Keep in mind Edu has gone now which might make pressure on him come sooner than otherwise

This is a remarkably competitive season so far. The 2nd-10th pack is very tight. We are certainly going to drop points, but the fratricida effect will be intense. After years of seeing 2nd place being 95 points or so, that will likely be more than 1st

If City play like this against us at their place they are in for a pasting. Leicester should have won easily today.

Not sure how Mateta got away with clearly fouling Ramsdale which allowed Chalobah a free header. He clearly pushed Ramsdale away with a straight arm with no ball in sight
Because this is what I do. 
Arsenal and Chelsea have an easier fixture list in the second half of the season, so I’ll take any points they drop with both arms wide open.

They’re also not as good as us.

We have been here before. Top at Christmas and ended up empty handed.
I’m not going to be planning any celebrations until late April at the earliest.

I think you said that earlier in the month when Chelsea had closed the gap to 3pts

The commentator of our game yesterday made a similar remark. Basically, Arsenal play the vast majority of top twelve teams at home. That said, they are still heading to Anfield… And it’s been a while since we beat them in league, so hopefully our lads make amends for Odegaard freely playing basketball there last year.

Arsenal fair enough but you can never tell really.
Chelsea go to the following:
Man City
Aston Villa
Arsenal
Newcastle
Notts Forest
There biggest plus is the game against us being at home.
It’s not too different from us, of course they will sweep all before them as will Arsenal and we won’t.
Though I’m only interested in us.

It’s easy for me to be bitter and doubtful because we got cheated out of two titles and then ran out of steam for one because of injuries and stuff… And I’m not the most optimistic person in the world as you already know. 
I really hope our lads will do the business but I’ll take any help this team can get.

Just enjoy where we are and concentrate on our games.
I think the last month has shown surprises. Not worth getting into the number of points we need and so on. Things can change quickly. New managers come in, teams improve. Shit conditions such as fog and maybe even snow.
We’ve put ourselves in a good place both in Europe and in the league and it’s where we press next.

I am very relaxed since our win last night.
Think anyone of Chelsea or Arsenal dropping points before we do next time it’s ‘over’ for them. And like I said especially Arsenal have a difficult run in the next three weeks.
Maybe Forest will be 2nd by the time we play them and winning there can be a full circle moment and another psychological milestone.

The season is just about half way through. There are a lot of games to go and a lot of points to be won and lost.
It’s way too early to talk about teams in the top six being out of the race.
We’ve been top at Xmas multiple times and only once have we won the PL.
It’s a great position, of course, but it’s just a springboard.
