Its officially OFF, great season though

Over past 2 to 3 months there has been a few doubters and average performances, however with 8 games to go, the 'specialists in failure' have now started to fail earlier than expected and it is officially back on.

The title isn't happening. The top four though? It's quite possible after tonight. With Arsenal to play City on Saturday, things could look very very good for us. Here's hoping.

Optimistic post of the day

Havent seen highlights yet, apparently great performance, coming back into form at right time, especially barkley

 

[rascal]

If we can go on an 8 game winning streak I think we can finish 4th.

What odds can you get, might be worth a few of us having a bet, who's in?

 

[mglennon]

Arsenal will drop at least 5 points (city - h/everton a), so we can afford a slip up

Guys, come on... If this was roles reversed, and it was a RS, or Newcastle (RS of the east), they would get mocked. Let's all agree we have a very very outside chance, but it really is Arsenal's to lose here

Why would they get mocked?
Its in our hands now imo, obviously still going to be very tough but still.

Because we are all talking about Arsenal losing to City next week, which would mean that they would go into every remaining game as favourites, or evens for a draw. We would still play City, United and Arsenal, as well as Southampton away, amongst others. Anyone thinking we will finish on above 75 points is being unrealistic imo.

TL;DR: Everton always lets us down, same this time, Arsenal are still a little bit good.

12 pts off top, game in hand and city to come here. the league is all but ours tbh

Arsenal fans are saying they were awful tonight, form is key this time of year

Our chances have gone up hugely after tonight. Intriguingly, it looks like we are just hitting form at the right time, the likes of Barkley, Lukaku and Deulofeu all coming back to their best for the remainder of the season. It is on.
