If we had lost that, in that manner, i think top 4 would of been seriously difficult, mentally we would of been shot to bits and Liverpool would of been flying.

There is a tinge of dissapointment that we didnt get the win, especially with us absolutely running the game 2nd half and missing the 1st penalty. But the situation now is that mentally as a team we are feeling good, Liverpool are the ones asking themselves how they havent won and opened up a 5 point gap, we’ve kept ourselves withing touching distance.

So far so good for this little tough run we have.

Getting a draw out of that was huge.

Should have done better with the ball but losing would have fucked us.

I think we will have to go to Chelsea and win if results stay similar and I fancy us to snatch it if it comes to that.

After Arsenal we only have two TOP6 games, one at home

Liverpool also two games, both away.
Chelsea four games.
United four games.

Win against Arsenal can put us in really good position in TOP4 race. Beside those games with Chelsea and City rest of our fixtures are... I don't want to say easy but they definitely don't scare me. Maybe Palace away is a little bit tricky.

Momentum is with us, we need to beat Arsenal to keep it going. If we do that then we'll be maximum 4pts behind Chelsea and their last eleven games are horrible. After next weekend they have Utd away followed by City away we need to capitalise on that. They look very catchable right now and things are not right there.
Think Utd might be a bit too far ahead but if we beat Arsenal and from the performances we are putting in I'll be very confident of finishing 3rd.

Our fans really need to show up and make Wembley a fortress next weekend. I'd be there myself if a transatlantic flight and thousands of dollars weren't involved. We beat Arsenal and we look really good to make the top 4 with our run in.

Firmly believe if we beat Arsenal, taking 7 points from 9 in this very significant run of games, will be the spring board for finishing top 4.

In fact I'm confident now after what we did in that second half.

Better delivery from our full backs and we could of scored numerous times.
We're evolving into a top side and our mentality is getting better and better.

Arsenal carry a big threat but that's if we play passively.

We all know that if we play aggressively we can bully them no problem. If we're aggressive we'll win.

We can’t have a first where we had no aggression at all. Unless we are at it from the first whistle we will struggle.

4 out of 6 points from the last 2 games......how many of us would have turned that down before the Man U game?

For me, providing we beat Arsenal, a defining weekend could be the 10th March.

We're away to Bournemouth and Liverpool away to United. That's the weekend we could take them.

The North Devon army will be showing up in full force - as long as me and the wife don't get stuck in snow on exmoor. Coys!

Plenty of twists to come. Especially with Liverpool - as likely beat all their rivals and lose to Stoke or something.

We have really dug deep to put ourselves back in the race. I remember us having to beat chelsea and the scum in consecutive games to stay in it under Harry, and we did! Nowadays, the games are just as tough but we are much more prepared. I really think that we will do it with Chelsea missing out. Assuming of course that we beat the scum next Saturday! A game I will miss as I will be driving to the alps to go skiing!

I don't think that game's going to be the cakewalk some on here think it's going to be. Those two Dortmund lads they've just picked up are seriously good players and they were much improved against Everton. Take beating the Gooners for granted next week and we're going to get a bloody nose.

Think Southampton will give them a game next Sunday, should be a decent atmosphere considering all the poaching of their players lol

We're soooo close but no cigar yet. However, Chelsea and United don't exactly have easy programs over the next weeks. If we sharpen up and fight like devils running from a winter avalanche, we just might nail it.
