[remember arthur mann]

Clever move by Arteta, putting Oleks in midfield.

You mean not good for the heart ..

Yup, but I was hoping we would have had the league wrapped up early when I saw the dippers were out of the race but looks like we are going to have to grind it out again.

Makes winning the UCL aswell as the league very difficult this year - hard to go all out for both particularly in this crammed year.

Seriously? Over half the season to go, and you're hoisting the white flag? You don't remember last season? Or the 18/19 campaign? Yes, Arsenal are playing very well. It'd be silly of me to suggest otherwise. But we're more than capable of putting together a run of a dozen wins on the bounce. I'm not sure Arsenal are. Also, they've only won one more game, and lost one less than us (one less draw than us). Having played a game more than us.

Of course, you're perfectly entitled to your opinion. I just find it a bit odd that someone can seemingly have given up so early in the season.

I don't give up, just stating how it looks to me right now.

As I said, you're perfectly entitled to your opinion. And I can see why you might think the way you do. However, we've won 6 PL titles in the last 11 seasons. Only two of them were won "easily" (the 17/18 and 20/21 campaigns). 3 of the other 4 were won from behind,and the other one (last season) was won with the scousers having reeled in a 14 (?) pt deficit on us, and breathing down our necks. That tells me that the psyche at the club is strong, and that "chasing" doesn't frighten us.

Predictably shit against one of the big boys once again under Moyes - getting fed up now.

it dosnt look good,but should look a little better after wed, the plus side is its still in citys hands win the games and were champions

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

I don’t think it’s flapping to acknowledge that a very good very hungry young team with an equally talented hungry young manager who have a big lead at the top are in the driving seat for the title.

We haven’t hit the heights of the previous two seasons yet and the age of some of our most influential players coupled with the unique physical strains of this season have sown seeds of doubt in the minds of more cautious blues

Chucking it in on Boxing Day though? I am more than happy to acknowledge a good team at any time. I’m criticising the people who are giving up on what is, both statistically and evidentially, the finest team the premier league has ever seen after they’ve played 14 games…….

 

[Blu1]

We will beat leeds and beat arsenal twice. Newcastle worry me more

Gauntlet set. 8 points behind, Leeds is a no excuses must win. we cannot fall further behind, they're not Liverpool of the last few years but they can get 90 points and we've already dropped too many points to win the league with less than that.
