Christmas is cancelled

At least we out of the title by Christmas this year. We just need to keep an eye on the Spuds and United because we're battling for top 4 finish now.

They're really catching us up, aren't they? I don't really know who we've got over the next few games. I'm not sure I care either.

Aye, we have a really favourable set of games coming up until Chelsea away in February. Saying that you never know with this lot, we are a physically & mentally weak team led by a manager who has the same characteristic. Who would be surprised if we went into free fall and lost a few more games?

Next 6

West Brom H
Palace H
Bournemouth A
Swansea A
Burnley H
Watford H

I expect 18 points out of 18. That's exactly what we'll need to even have a chance in the spring now.

We won't get 18. Might get the first 15 and then lose 4-0 to Watford.

Seriously, what did you expect from this game and what do you expect every year ?

Arsenal are so predictable under Wenger, every year is the same.

I expected a win or a draw, in spite of our non performance at Everton.

I don't think I'm too unrealistic or unreasonable to predict that, given Manchester City's vulnerabilities.

Which one team would you have picked that would serve up a confidence booster to the gypos, despite their vulnerabilities? Which one team can you rely on without fail to do that job?

We've successfully revived the fortunes of 2 struggling teams in 5 days. Dishing out the Christmas presents early.
