We can still win the league

We've already lost 5 games this season. In winning it in 2011/2012 we lost 5 all season. Aligned to the 3 game drawing at home sequence (Everton, Southampton, Boro), where we dropped a further 6 crucial points, and it strongly indicates a team that isn't on the right trajectory to win it. One very significant statistic that can sometimes get a bit lost amidst wins, draws, losses etc is goal difference. It's a massive indicator of where a team's likely to finish. Statistically, the team that has the best GD is 70%+ likely to win the league. And we're a mile off in that department.
Can we win it? Yes, it's mathematically possible. Will we win it? Extremely unlikely.

So, do I think we'll win it? Yes!

A better indicator is that the team with the least, or 2nd least, goals conceded is 90% likely to win the league. <Gulp>. We are tied for 8th in that league.
 
I dont see Chelsea collapsing and our defence isnt reliable enough for us to sustain a lengthy winning run.

Win the FA Cup, another SF appearence in the CL, strengthen the defence in the summer, unstoppable next season!
 
I look at it if Chelsea get 2 points per game, and they should, they would be on 87, probably get more. For us to get that we would need 45 from 48 available. Not happening.
Even Arsenal would need 41 from 48 so cant see anyone catching them.
 
We need to be the team who finishes no lower than 2nd & that is fully possible.

Then if Chelsea suddenly fall apart, which I think is a good possibility if Costa for instance gets injured, we finish first.

A couple of defeats for Chelsea could do a lot of damage to their confidence. The tragedy would be, if we finished 3rd if it happened.
 
We played amazing against Spurs yet didn't even win. So what will happen when we next play crap? That's correct, we'll lose 4-0 again. No chance of us winning the league. Chelsea would have to lose at least 7 more matches for us to finish above them.
 
nope, but there's no reason we can't walk 2nd place, at some point we have to get over our silliness and start thumping everyone or there will bodies dropping from SS3.

2nd place and semi-finals of FA or CL, and then down to what we do from there.

I'm sure the Premier League and FA will find a way ;-)
