They've won 7 on the bounce, they're not going to win another 7 (only one team has ever done this in the history of the Premier League, Arsenal in 2002) and I think once they drop points in one game their bottle will go and they'll lose/draw another couple. Very few of their players have title run-in experience and I think it will tell.sir baconface said:It will be lost on slip-ups and won on adrenalin.

Beautifully put, SB.sir baconface said:It will be lost on slip-ups and won on adrenalin. Mentality is more important than the fixture list on the final furlong.

I genuinely think with the way we are playing though that we're going to smash Arsenal to pieces. As Bacon said above, it's going to come down to mentality and personality, and how many of the Arsenal players have got it? Maybe Mertesacker. How many of ours? Hart, Zabba, Kompany, Fernandinho, Yaya, Silva, we're brimming with players who thrive on the big occasion and know how to win. Even more than Chelsea, which many are saying is their big strength.
Huge game on Saturday, and I think it's going to be another brilliant night for us.

Every other season in recent memory I'd have been really worried v Arsenal away. This time I feel we will be really up for it, specially if the spirit shown against Hull and the rags is anything to go by. If so, 6/6 points from the swamp and the Emirates could put us in unstoppable mode.

Yeh I agree mate. The Arsenal away in 2012 I was convinced we were going to lose. I loved Balotelli, but at that particular time he just seemed ready to explode, and the whole thing would come tumbling down. It was a horrible, horrible day that, Easter Sunday and we went 8 points behind the Shite.
This time though, things couldn't be more different. We seem like a really happy camp, but on top of that we've got our steely determination back. I think the Chelsea loss and the Hull away games have been absolutely pivotal for us this season. I think the Chelsea game was a bit of a wake up for Pellers that we need to go out a bit more solid against good teams, and the Hull game was the players showing they had the character and the fight to win during a tough moment.
Tuesday it all came together, I can't ever remember us outclassing The Shite like that before. David Silva was just playing football from another planet. I think Arsenal are really low on confidence after the Chelsea hammering, and I think the last thing they need is a visit from us. We're just coming in to form at the right time, whereas Chelsea are stuttering, and Liverpool surely can't keep their current form up and are due a slip (they've won the last 7).
Saturday is the big one for me, win that and I don't think there's any stopping us.

Been saying it for weeks, Palace away worries me more than Arsenal away.
