We are second in the league and playing good football, if you can't dream and believe even a little bit now then what's the point, Chelsea are clear favourites but we are in with a shout IMO

Why is it insane to suggest we are in the title race? We are 2nd, have the best back four in the league and one of the most potent attacks in the league as well.
We also have the second best goal difference and Chelsea have yet to hit any form of "bad patch" 10 points really isn't that big of a gap, we just need to keep winning.
We have also beaten the team everyone considers to be favourites by a comfortable margin last time we played, just because they have beaten a shit Leicester side means nothing.
Why is it insane to suggest we have a chance of winning the league?

That's Pochettino's half time team-talk sorted for the season then...

Totally agree but I think it's only 7 points (even after them beating Leicester)

Oh yes sorry it is, 7 points, well that makes it even more possible then.
Bit dramatic in here ain't it!? Leicester are shit this season. Chelsea big favourites today, no surprises there at all.
City will possibly drop points tomorrow as will one of pool/united, possibly both.
17 games is a long way to go chaps. Relax. We've been here before

Exactly we have been here before, last season, personally I think that experience will get us over the line this season, we just need to take advantage when Chelsea slip up.

Yep my mistake. BBC haven't updated their league table.

Just like their pundits then and their outdated opinions lol.
Also, complaining about others rolling over for the big teams...er, Watford, Southampton even West Brom today? Don't think it's the case but can easily be levelled at our recent opponents. West Brom didn't even look bothered today!!
Forget the conspiracy theories.

If we are in with a shout of the title this year at least we won't have to put up with every man and his dog willing Leicester to the title like last year. At least we won't be the bad guys this time (although considering Sky's coverage of the Chelsea game last week I'm not so sure). Surely teams won't roll over for Chelsea like they did for Leicester last season, I'll never forget the Leicester v Swansea game last season. dodgy as fuck.
It'll be chavs and pool, pool will be the plucky losers (and everyone's 2nd team) despite finishing below us, we'll be a foot note

In fairness THE final game of the season for us is Hull and if we're in within a shot of winning it all the ex-Spurs boys would help us on our way. Of that I'm 100% confidant.

Not if they have a chance of staying up, it could be an incredibly difficult match if their fate hung it the balance.

At the end of the day even if they are trying hard...It's Hull City.

Any team desperate to pick up a result to avoid relegation can be a difficult prospect, obviously we are the better team but depending on how the table shakes out there could be easier match-ups for our rivals on matchday 38.
