It’s great that Ange is being positive and talking about the title. Makes a refreshing change. But realistically we are looking at a race for third, which is still remarkable given the expectations at the start of the season.
I can see 'pool dropping a few points, and even de Bruyne can't gurantee wins for Citeh, no reason we can't go on a winning streak. Let's see where we stand after the next five rounds.

Thats:
2-2 at Arsenal
3-3 at City
2-2 at United

Picking up points at the big away grounds, a geat sign of progression.

We're still fighting for this title!

In all seriousness though;

Brentford (H)
Everton (A)
Brighton (H)
Wolves (H)
Chelsea (A)
Palace (H)

That's a decent set of fixtures coming up for us in the PL. If we win the home and draw the aways we'll be a lot closer to the top I reckon.
i don't think that's enough, we need to win them all if we're to have any chance later on with more difficult(on paper) games to come.

City also have an easy run and we have to go away to liverpool at some point so we need to be leading them both by 3 points going into that game to win the league. Anything less than full points from the games above which is probably not realistic and we wont win the league. In another world if the Chelsea game injuries and suspensions hadn't happened we would probably 6 points clear at the top but it wasnt meant to be this year. Get top 3 this year win it next year.

The thing about that run is, it builds momentum, and we saw last season with Arsenal to a certain point, if you get that momentum you're riding the crest and belief builds.

Other teams are also not going to win every game either.

Arsenal;

Chelsea 2-2
Villa 0-1
Newcastle 0-1
Liverpool 0-0

If we are able to better that and get a win in at least one of these, then Arsenal don't get a point at City, we should finish above them.

Think the Chelsea game is on the Carabao cup final weekend so could potentially be pushed back should they overcome Boro.
If that is the case, 4 out of the next 5 at home could be massive.


Ouhh it will be so nice to tonk Ch£l$ki at the Bridge

Given how expectations change based on what's already happened I'd now be disappointed if we don't finish at least 4th so the thread should be race to top 4 although I have zero clout on here (but have been a member for 20 years)

Top 4 was always the target IMO. I don’t think the title race is over yet by any stretch, but 8 points seems a bit too much for us I think.

what an amazing turnaround Ange has brought us this season. Quite incredible.

Now Chelsea have made the CC final, whats the betting our rearranged fixture is plumped right in the middle of our tough run in April.

Probably in between City and Arsenal ffs lol.

The glass half full view is that four out of our next five is at home and that we don't play a traditional big six team in the next 10 games (if Chelsea gets pushed that far forward).

Brentford (H)
Everton (A)
Brighton (H)
Wolves (H)
Palace (H)

Within the 10 games, we can really solidify a top 4 spot and best case scenario we have a chance of still being in the title race in April.
