This is the worst possible result for us.

EDIT: Posted seconds before Arse equalised.

Here's a surprising stat.
If we win our next 3 games (Wham, Everton and Manu) we will have 49 points,from 24 games
Last season we had 50 points from 24 games..Gd +30.
We need some luck with injuries!
We would basically have caught up within a point of last year at the same stage.

P W D L GD Pts
1 Chelsea 24 19 2 3 34 59
2 Tottenham 24 14 8 2 30 50
3 Man City 24 15 4 5 20 49
4 Arsenal 24 14 5 5 24 47
5 Liverpool 24 13 7 4 22 46
6 Man Utd 24 12 9 3 15 45

Last year, we then got 36 points out of a possible 42....
i guess if we do that (win the next 3) and get close on the GD then the belief argument becomes less of a problem as we are matching last years performance.
The Champions league situation is equally fascinating as IF we beat Juve we will have beaten both of last years finalists, so in a way we would have everything to play for.
If we do not, then we have no distraction of the CL to stop us from concentrating on the league.
As usual I am more bullish than most on here, I think we can still have a cracking season and finish 2nd.
To dare is to do!

Win tomorrow we open up a 4 point gap on Arse and are only 4 points behind Utd in 2nd.

Absolute must win COYS.

Yeah but surely Liverpool should just say to player and Barca we can deal in summer, that way they're stronger for securing CL for next season.

I don't get why they wouldn't wait, they would still receive a huge fee. Why weaken themselves now when top 4 race is such a dog fight.
I think they don’t want him throwing his toys out of the pram again like he did at the beginning of the season. Personally I thought they were playing better at the start of the season without him in the team anyway.

Yeah it’s a real “set yourself up for the year” match this.

So often under Poch we’ve come on like a train at the turn of the year. Just keep building the momentum and watch the likes of Liverpool crack.

Every spurs bone in my body is tapping me on the shoulder and going "mate, mate, don't do it to yourself...."

Arsenal PL record from Dec 2017 : LDDWDWDD
Played : 8, Won : 2, Drawn : 5, Loss : 1
2 Wins were dodgy wins, coming against Newcastle & Palace

They are in some shite form at the moment

You just know we will never ever get Chelsea missing as many clear chances as they did tonight! The last few times we’ve played them it feels like they score from every chance they have!

Yeah dirty cheer for me too when Arse equalised. I've spent the last 50 mins whipping myself to atone

With Lamela, Wanyama, Dembele back from injury and Rose, Llorente now almost up to speed we have an extra half a side compared to the start of the season

Places 2-4 are in our hands
