Today could've been so different. Arsenal weren't great against Villa and were minutes away from dropping more points whilst we put in one of our most dominant displays of the season season limiting Forest to absolutely nothing and creating chances galore.

The most disappointing thing is that we've let them off the hook so soon after beating them.
 
The win at Arsenal was hailed as a "big win" but it will not be a big win unless we hammer it home with other wins and we failed to do this today. Arsenal get 3 points with a goal off the bar then off the goalkeeper's head : Villa had hit the bar and the ball bounces out to safety. Later, we miss a hatful of chances, chances which should have seen us win by 5 or 6, and Forest equalise with their only shot on target. The only goal they have scored against the other top five compared to the 18 they had conceded. We asked for it and got it.
 
Let arsenal of big time and they will have a confidence boost and momentum now, the funny thing is when the seasons over and if we narrowly miss out on the league people will blame the scum game for it and officals. That won't be the reason why we didn't win it the reason why will be because we don't put our fucking chances away!!

Good job the Arse did win otherwise the Rags would be getting super giddy.

May as well accept we're not winning it this year. Even if we were at our best there's no way it would be allowed to happen.

What you mean it wont be allowed to happen? We shoot ourselves in the foot so many times by not finishing games off. Officiating has nothing to do with our inconsistency.

I'm trying to stay positive and tell myself as frustrating as today has been, I would've taken a draw against Arsenal the other night and that would've kept us 3 behind, so being 2 behind isn't too bad.

It's just annoying as fuck that we can't string wins together, the league is there for the taking but we still can't win more than 3 in a row.

Don't worry we will go on a long winning run soon

On another day we bag 6 or 7 today it didn't happen. Still more than happy being 2 points behind on the home turn

Yeah I can’t really disagree with that. There’s a long way to go and if we’re anything like the team we were in the last two seasons we’re perfectly capable of overhauling a 2 point deficit.

But are we anything like that marvellous back to back team ?

Its a 5 point deficit most likely.

I'd also say that I'm as worried about United as I am Arsenal
Arsenal still have to come to us and go to Newcastle and Liverpool. We're at home to the remaining teams from the "top 7" if you like.
Not that it'll matter if we keep dropping points to shit like Forest and Everton!

United are under the radar though and have played ourselves and Arsenal twice.
 
Could have been a great day at one point, but ended up below average, that’s a title race for yer, Arsenal won’t lie down, but neither will we, have to say the CL may be a distraction too far (hope not) we have form for tossing off points before those games, but I don’t think this result was that. Just one of those days, we really have to not over react in these situations, and get back on it, we’ve got 14 games left & probably need to win 10-11 of them, Arsenal’s run of fixtures looks kind but at this stage anything can happen

We have to be so careful we don’t let those horrible rag fuckers in by the back door. The more points we drop the more likely it is that a pretty average team can win the title with a very achievable points total. 78 or 80 might do it

To be fair we have been average this season. Take the first two games out when they lost both, they have more points per game than us from that point onwards. Both average. Arsenal look like they are going to struggle to get over the line though. They should be out of sight now really.
