I can’t see us winning the league this season, offer me the Champions League and champions league qualification with Arsenal winning it and I’d take it

You don't see us chasing down a 5 point gap when we have to play them twice?

Today was a bad game not helped by it being the final game before the long break. That second goal was a real suckerpunch and Peps inaction is infuriating at times but I wouldn't throw the towel in just yet.

Would the Champs league for us and Arsenal Premier league (was hard typing that) be excepted this season?
Yes i know we want to win everything but obviously that's not easily done.
I just feel that as long as the rags and dippers don't come into any of the equation this would probably be the best outcome if we don't have a clean sweep ourselves

Absolutely

I’m certainly not throwing the towel in but..

I honestly don’t, I’ve seen the referees in the last few games do everything they can to stop us, they are desperate for a different team to win the league this season. I think we’re the best team ahead of a very good Arsenal team but I think the odds are heavily stacked against us

They gave us a soft penalty in the last minute of a game last week. Some conspiracy! If we lost the league it'll be because of more lethargic performances like today, nothing to do with some grand conspiracy to stop us.

It wasn’t a soft penalty, it was a penalty, if you can’t see it then I’m of the belief that you don’t want to!

I think it was a penalty too, but I've seen them not given 100s of times, and if the league was working with the referees to stop us winning the league they certainly wouldn't have been giving it. I just see these conspiracy theories constantly on here and they're as mad as QAnon ones.

Could be 8 points by the time we play next.

Not such a big deal really.

Even if Arsenal are 10 pts clear with 10 games to go, the title won't be done. Of course, Arsenal may win it, it's not impossible. But we can go on a run, if we are not hampered by injuries and fatigue after the WC.
 
We can and should beat Arsenal, at home and away so a 5 point gap is something that can definitely be reversed, there are still 24 games ahead of us.
I don't think Arsenal will win the title, but if they do? they well deserve it.

Play like we have recently been playing against arsenal and we won't get anything against them, the last time we looked decent was against scum which is worrying.

An understatement, to put it mildly. For the first half, we were utterly unplayable.
We can be again.
Contrary to what everyone's saying, I actually wonder whether the WC may turn out to be a good thing for our players (and I repeat that I personally am not going to watch any of it). It may focus their mind on something else entirely, which I suspect is what they need at present.
Not sugarcoating the shitshow that today was: but A Long, Long Way To Go, Guys.
 
Who knows at the moment. Guessing 88 points. This shitty World Cup is a huge curve ball, I’m already desperate to see the back of it.

Will be interesting to see how Arsenal and Newcastle keep up the momentum given they play the same 11 every week (arsenal certainly do anyway). Without European games Newcastle will find it easier. But perhaps Pep’s tinkering will serve us well at the end, as it has over the last few years.
 
It’s usually around this time in a season we are at the start of a 12-14 game winning run that wins us the title.
Anything could happen this season with the World Cup thrown into the middle of it.

Maybe a slightly unpopular opinion here, but in a few of our games this season we haven’t played very well and been quite boring actually.
Don’t get me wrong we should win the league, but I think we’ve been over rated a bit at times as to how good we are this season.
 
24 games to go . Was always going to be a weird one with the diabolical timing of the World Cup in Qatar . I would back us 100% to kick on in the new year injuries permitting.

Newcastle will finish top 4 I think.

Hopefully our run will come with 10 games to go and win the lot

Interesting point about the WC & whether it may be a good break for the players. Could be that time in the sun playing matches against teams that don’t just low block and counter may make them fresher.

It must be knackering/tedious/stressful having to get through that block week in week out, perhaps today was a culmination of weeks of it. The midweek game against chelsea was a breath of fresh air because it was so open. Recent league & CL matches, dull as shit. Obviously teams will do what they can to get a result, but it must be draining to play against it all the time. Chelsea excepted, the rags at home was the last game where the opposition were willing to play out.
