WHAT IF THE GAP IS ACTUALLY ONLY 2 POINTS!
stick with me fellow gunners
A Newcastle win this midweek (they will want to lay a marker with the cup final approaching) and we beat forest the points are 8 and we have a game in hand
we win our game in hand and the gap is is 5 points
we have them with 3 games to go, we win and the gap is only 2 points!
that means there are 9 games this season, 9 games where we need to match their results and all we need is for them to lose 1 of those 9 when we win.
we have players retuning, we can surely only get better, more fire power, and hopefully that weekend result gives them the kick they need to not jog once more this season.
so again, what if the gap is actually only 2 points!

Great positive post Hampshire mate. I know Liverpool had a meltdown last season but I just cannot see it happening. For me to win the prem you have to be good away from home but the clincher is your home games at your stadium must be a fortress a absolutely definitely 3pts irrespective of who your playing. Sadly this season like last season our home force as got us big time. Saturdays performance, godless draw against Everton,2 nil up against the Villa, twice being in the lead against Liverpool. Positivity is great but I cannot see it happening this season.

I love reading the delusional posts of arsenal fans.

Be nice Endo. It's definitely a possibility and I've always maintained that the title race is far from over despite what pundits and the media are saying. Tbh, I feel that they are building us up just so they can lock us down if we fail. That makes for a great story for them. We just need to continue winning our games until it is mathematically impossible for any other team to catch up to us.

Title race is still well and truly open - just this post (and almost every other post from arsenal fans) is utterly ridiculous. I am by no means writing anyone off or writing our name on the trophy. Just they arsenal lads need to be realistic.

Why is my post utterly ridiculous.
I was making a point about our home form.
What is utterly ridiculous in that.

Hi Dracred, you are right not to be over confident mate as football does occasionally throw up crazy outcomes but 11 points is an awful lot to make up at the half way stage the season and with only a quarter of the season to go making more than 1pt per game is like expecting Cliff Richards and the Bachelors to win gold in the winter Olympics 4 man bobsleigh, not totally beyond the imagination but I doubt the bookies would be looking to lay off any bets placed on it happening ?.

haha at no point did i say that we would win the league, and my post starts with WHAT IF
I was simply trying to raise the spirits of my fellow gunners as we have taken a bit if a battering this last week.
clearly the gap is not 2 points it is 11, but what's the point in writing the season off in Feb, we have and Liverpool have thrown away good leads and lost prem titles in the past, so as a fan base we need to find ways to believe we can win and then see what is possible.
The sense in me says that Liverpool will win the title at a canter from here. but the ever optimistic fan in me says we are going to over take you at Anfield with a brilliant 3-2 win and snatch the title from you. haha.

That may be so G62 but Hampshire is right too. We are 11 points ahead but you have a game in hand. Win that and the lead is down to 8. We also have a game to play against each other and if you win that too, the lead is down to 5 and that is definitely catchable. Still, it is much more exciting than seeing City run away with the title each season so I'm just enjoying the ride for now.

Hi Hampshire mate, I know you wasn't saying we'd win league and there is absolutely nothing wrong with trying to raise people's spiritsin fact i think it's brilliant that you are doing that mate ?
I'm just having a laugh as personally I'm not disheartened in the slightest, we'd be pretty unfortunate to have another season like this one with injuries next season mate and who knows what the summer window might bring, if we can do second place this season of all seasons then I think we're going to be more than ok moving forward.
Up The Arsenal ?.

If we had Saka Martinelli and Kai it would still be very slim but possible, but as it is i wouldn't even make us favourites for 2nd.
Imagine Liverpool we playing a front theee of Diaz, Endo and Elliot.

I agree SW, imagine any team being without so many of ther top players for such a large part of the season.
Second is in my opinion within our capacity to secure even with our depleted numbers but it certainly isn't a given, evey point and evey place in the premier league has to be earned. We like all other clubs simply have to fight to finish as high as possible. Slot will be very aware that complacency is going to be the biggest threat to their title challenge now, and we should be just as aware of that same threat to our 3rd successive top 2 finish.
