I agree its a straight fight but in the same way we aren't looking in the teams in 7th and 8th the teams in the top four aren't looking back at us when the title is still possible.Well many people are writing off our chances of top 4 when we are closer to Arsenal than anyone is to Chelsea, and in all likelihood it's only City who will truly believe they can catch Chelsea, so for me it's a straight fight for the top 4 between any team below Chelsea, and for now Spurs keeping the pressure on is no bad thing, obviously though we need to keep on winning or it's all irrelevant.
I don't disagree with anything you say. I disagree that teams are looking backwards though. If you aren't at the top the only way you should be looking is forwards. If you let that anxiety creep in to your game you're doomed.Fair enough.
I just think that we're so tightly bunched up currently that while I'm sure we all have the same goal, we're all also aware of the teams around us too.
Say Man City and Arsenal lose next matchday and we win. We jump up to 3rd.
Or let's say Liverpool lose their next two and you win the next two (with a healthy swing in gd). What currently looks a big gap in terms of points and position vanishes.
Its a very close and exciting fight.
Yep, but can't next round of matchesDid every top 5 team win their match? That sucks for Utd.
We'll see, but personally I just don't think Arsenal or Liverpool really believe they'll be winning anything, and I am of a mind that it is Arsenal, and more so Liverpool who we are chasing, and if we can just claw ourselves a bit closer then they'll really be sweating, overtaking Spurs can wait, and using them as a way to pressure those above could be helpful for now.I agree its a straight fight but in the same way we aren't looking in the teams in 7th and 8th the teams in the top four aren't looking back at us when the title is still possible.
Your jinx worked well.Spurs wont get the three points today.
Your jinx worked well.
The United game is the most realistic one.Liverpool - City should be good. When is Coutinho back for Liverpool?
That happened to me (again) on Boxing Day. I watched the whole match, but 17:00 is way too late to be sober on a Monday. Had to re-watch the game later.Good chance I'm already too pissed to remember we're even playing.. Our game should've been played today or on New Year's Day, not on fecking New Year's Eve
