Arsenal & Liverpool

Chelsea drop points?

We're not going to win title this season. Already got to much to do with a team that is still gelling, making huge errors and getting injured all the time.

Top 4 is our aim this season. I hope Chelsea continue to pick up 3 pts so the berties don't get back to back titles.

The reason I feel confident of 3rd is that the problems for Arsenal have been the same for umpteen years, regardless of the money they have had to spend or the players they can bring in. When all is rosy they can play anyone off the park, but when it comess down to the nitty gritty, they are just niave defensively in terms of closing out games, they don't win ugly and don't work hard enough off the ball. And because of Wenger's mindset they will always have these problems whilst he is at the helm. To use LVG's favourite word, their philosophy is not right.

Our problems are more due to lack of personnel and getting players use to playing with each other. The general blueprint is right and with time we should hopefully come over both problems. With Arsenal if the original plan isn't right, it doesn't matter who you have playing for you.

Never said we will win the title.
All what I'm saying is there is a chance for an upset tomorrow.

Our realistic target early in the season was 4th, now it is likely as 3rd.You see my point? we can't see clearly further ahead.

Though we should stay close enough to the top 2,
keeping it tight from the top would be a massive improvement compared to last season, which certainly would bode well for next season. I also believe we will fix some of our problems comes this January window, we will get better in the second half of the season. We;ve got some top class players in our squad, the team will click at some point.

Would be great if it happens this season...There would have to be two massive failures from Chelsea and City to have any sniff of a chance. But it is not completely impossible.

If Chelsea drops 3 or 2 points tomorrow, then if wont be such a bad week after all

LVG was given a 3rd place target by Ed Woodward and the board. To be honest after the first 10 games its crazy we are still 3rd after a draw.

Chelsea are an irrelevance to us. We are not and never were title contenders. Top 4 is achiebable though and not for the first time we've been helped by the results of potential rivals

Absolutely spot on. We're not chasing one good team, but two.

Title is out of reach this season. We're going to drop silly points all season too because the team still isn't quite there.

To win it, we'd have to have a near perfect run now in the final 20 odd games. Not going to happen.

Let's get 3rd sewn up (which gets us back in CL and our hands on the £60m CL prize money for qualifying) and also have a real stab at winning the FA Cup for first time in over 10 years.

3rd & FA Cup win would be an incredible season given the circumstances of the last 12 months we've had.

Proper title assault will come next season when we've addressed the defence and the lack of pace in the side and team has fully gelled.

I'm hoping Chelsea win it.

Exactly, until the DEF is settled, only then can we think about the Title..
It's in our hands, we in a good position to get back into top 3.
But that DEF!! Who ain't chewing their nails off, every-time the team sheet is read out!

Liverpool and Arsenal shared a point today

So they got half a point each?
