We're 34 points ahead of where we were after 20 matches in 15/16.

We're still in the title race.

The next two league games are huge.

The final home game of the season could be a bit tasty if we can keep pace at the top for that long.

Win the next two, and I'll believe again. Everton away will be tough though.

We need to sign one or two top class players and really go for it

Yes and No. they’ve had their bounce from the points deduction but have now lost their last 4 including the Fulham League Cup penalties defeat. They’re away at Palace in the cup next week so could be welcoming us with 5 straight defeats. I’m confident we can go there and get a result.

Agree the next two are going to be tough. Everton look a resilient team now and pressure is building on Newcastle. Though we are at home for that one so should be OK.

Hopefully we'll be smirking after them  8)

Everton got smashed 3-0 by the Dingles yesterday, they're not that resilient.

Just one game. Done well this season.

Hopefully not too resilient  ;)

Text me dad after every game "We're going to win the league" or variations of it. As I'd said to him, don't actually believe we will ... but if we were going to win the league we'd be doing exactly what we're doing now so may as well enjoy it whilst it lasts.

Which is why I've been making tentative plans to be in south London on the last day of the season, and have booked a (free cancellation) hotel in Athens :)

What would you actually do if we won the league?

I would definitely get a tattoo with Unai's name on.

I would give lots of abuse to everyone who ever took the piss out of the club especially when we weren't doing well.

I'd probably write a letter of thanks to the team and post it to VP.
