Ok I confess it’s a bit bizarre but….. we have Arsenal to play twice over Xmas and who knows what will happen…. In Unai I trust
-
Not this season.
-
No chance this season. I'd be ecstatic with 3rd.
-
No. That's not the sort of thing that happens. Someone fucking dreadful will win it, as always.
-
Looking at the top four,we're about eight goals short of really challenging.Which would normally be what Ollie scores.
-
We don't create anywhere near enough really good chances.
-
No. For a number of reasons, but we don’t create enough simple chances to sustain a push. We’re scoring brilliant long range goals, which is great, but just isn’t sustainable.
-
No, obviously not.
-
No
-
With a prolific CF we’d be contenders
-
The fact we’re even having the conversation is confirmation of Unai’s genius.
I think we’ll finish 5th but won’t need the UCL spot as we’ll win The Europa.
-
Will reserve judgement until I see MOTD tonight.
In last few weeks when they talk about title, they only show Arses, Man City* and Chelski. Now we are on level points with Chelsea and have second best defence in the league will they show top 4.
-
No. In the mix for CL though.
-
We're overperforming our xG due to the long-range goals. History suggests you can't keep the thundercvnts coming at that rate all season. So we'll regress to the mean unless we get St Asensio or similar in in Jan.
Meaning 5th to 7th at best.
-
Today’s result was one of a short series that could, if we beat Brighton, give us the right to “have our say” in who wins the league.
If we were to then beat Arsenal twice, and pick up some points against Chelsea and United, we could consider ourselves as among the challengers.
But the odds of that are very long. I’d be pretty happy with “having our say” this year.
-
Well definitely not now someone has made this thread.
-
Almost certainly.

FFS, we might allude to it but you're not supposed to start a thread about it. It's the sort of thing visitors from other clubs will point at as evidence of our arrogance and delusion (when it inevitably goes tits up).
Can we please put this discussion in the CL thread until the eve of the Liverpool game?
-
Naaaah mate :-(
-
If we didn't have such a shit start to the season, we'd have been right up there with Arsenal. Still not looking all that convincing though. We can't wondergoal our way to the title. We need a bit more about us I'm afraid.
-
I’m going to start a ‘Will I Have A Threesome With Emily Blunt and Scarlett Johannson?’ thread.

Arse are cornalities to the top of the league at the moment, no one is stating it won't last for them.
-
Our star striker can’t score and we have no pace. Fix that in january and who knows.
-
We achieved 4th with a leaky defence and playing some of the best football I have seen.
We now sit 3rd after a third of a season despite not having played particularly well or having our forwards click. But we seem much improved in defence
hmmm. If the forwards were to click....hmmmm
