Due to how the fixtures have played out and us having games in hand if Arsenal win their next two they’ll go top regardless…

Hopefully just for a day until we play Chelsea on the Sunday.

They'll only go top if we drop points at Everton which will not happen. We play before them on sunday.
 
We’ve got to do it ourselves, we can’t expect anyone else to help us.

Everton next weekend is huge but we’re well used to it.

Thought Newcastle were awful after the first 15 minutes, Arsenal could and should have killed that off far earlier.

One other point watching Arsenal they have some excellent players, play lovely football but they have some awfully moaning, unpleasant players. At times they’re like an incredible cynical Serie A side from the early 90s. Everything close to a foul on then is a shrieking scream, every break there’s a player down and Xhaka would start a fight in an empty room.

We've got 4 games and can afford to draw 2, we've been in worse positions and won it. Don't panic blues.

It’s not drawing 2 that’s the issue, it’s losing 1 or needing to win both Away games at the end of the season!

It’s ridiculous that any team involved in this effort has to stack their games up like wood at the end of the season!

In England, we do our damnedest to screw the teams deep into European (or Cup) competitions by moving games to the only open midweek they have! We are literally running out of dates to play, which is harming player safety no end!
 
We have the tougher schedule and harder games now.
If Arsenal overcome Brighton they will win all their remaining games and reach 90 points. We must beat Everton then we just need 5 points from 3 games to beat them on GD.

We’ve won our last 10 league games on the bounce. We now need to win 2 or 3 (at the most) out of 4. Arsenal at home to Brighton and away at forest are far from gimmees
 
We must assume Arsenal will win their remaining games. That gives them 90. We will get no handouts. We win the next 3 and its ours on 91 pts.
 
I didn’t expect that result today at all and to be honest it was a bit undeserved. Newcastle were ridiculously wasteful

However 2 wins and 2 draws from our last 4 games and we’re champions again.. and that’s assuming arse win all 3 games which is far from certain

If you’d offered me that after we drew with forest I’d have snapped your hand off
 
I think we just need to focus and do our thing.

Arsenal slipped up when the pressure was on them. Since we beat them, they've been relieved of the pressure and gone back to winning.
 
Beat Everton as we should and Chelsea then two points required in the last two games, if arsenal drop any points (H) Brighton (A) forrest we will be champions not declaired after the chelsea match with goal average
