Marka Ragnos Posted February 4 VT Supporter Share Posted February 4 (edited) I feel it should almost go without saying that we must strive for the title. Yes, we all know it's a reach, but at our level, not striving gets us nothing, holds no advantages, offers us direction and a glittering prize.

One game at a time...with 9th March circled in the calendar. That's the game. If that puts us in the title picture, all good.

It really is a case of if we want to punch a man in the face, aim for the back of his head. If we carry ourselves like title challengers and hold those expectations, a miss will see us in the CL spots. No limits under Unai Emery 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No limits under Unai Emery I agree, although I want Liverpool to beat Arsenal today because I still think Arsenal are vulnerable for a top 4 place. I know that will put us further behind Liverpool but I’d love to keep Arsenal down as I think they could wobble especially with Arteta in charge. I think they are in the mix with us and Spurs than in the mix with Liverpool and City. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as good as the result was yesterday, I’m not going to declare our bad run over just because we hammered one of the worst prem teams of all time 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBlack Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 A draw would be a good result for us today if we're serious about a title race. It's also a pretty good result for the champions league race, even though a Liverpool win is better in that respect. Draws with teams taking points off each off are what we want to hope for in these games though, and then we have the chance to make ground in two teams as long as we do our business. Title race far from over, but I can't really see past a Liverpool v Man City shootout. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lichfield Dean Posted February 4 VT Supporter Share Posted February 4 Looking at the table, although we all know it's incredibly unlikely, we really are still in the race technically. Until we drop seven or eight points or more back I think there's still an outside chance. Nobody is pulling away (yet). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hypothetically if we go on a run from September to December, again, we could potentially be top of the league by seven or eight points.

Marka Ragnos Posted February 4 VT Supporter Share Posted February 4 Maybe I read all the wrong papers and listen to all the wrong pods, but all I see today after Arse's win is "it's now a three-way title race." Villa aren't even mentioned. It irritates me, but then I come to my senses: Would I really want it any other way? Keep ignoring Villa, please. Keep underrating our chances. Keep discounting our potential, please. Better to stay under radar and low key -- while we fight like hell to win. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Top 5 will still be amazing, but the problem is, if we miss out on top 5 it'll most likely be because Tottenham and man U are above us. Lets pray and hope we have put that little slump behind us. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About this time last year we lost the Leicester, Arsenal and Liverpool. I think look what happened afterwards. he has 900 games with an over 50% win rate he knows what he’s doing and I trust him as much as I trust any other manager since Ron Saunders.

Tomaszk Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 I don't think we'll win the league. However, the only team that is clearly better than us is City IMO. And we thumped them when we played... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
