Being 3 points behind Newcastle, who are in the title race, maybe we can dream again https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cvg8pv9gqnyo

It's more than doable. For all we feel we've underperformed so far we're 3 points off CL places and the only sides to beat us are the top 5 (4 of them away) and Spurs away. After the Arsenal game we only have the 2 Manc clubs away for 'top' sides and we're no mugs at home against anyone.

I've gone from a No to Don't Know

Stating the bleeding obvious how we do v Chelsea Bournemouth Forest and Toon, most of those at home will be a deciding factor.

Maybe. A couple of points from last season to consider.

People stated being in the Champs League screwed up Newcastle's season and it would do the same for us. Currently we are still in it (they were out already I believe) and we have 6 points more then they did at the same point. (Albeit 8 points behind our total last season.)

However if we had matched last seasons form up until now, we would have been joint 2nd with Arsenal, although they might have had three points less that they wouldn't have gained from us.

Its looking better but we have  afew more testing games coming up so we will know better come the next few games.

We have certainly made it hard for ourselves more than what it needed to be

I just hope that Forest and Newcastle have peaked to early, that Chelsea's slide is permanent, Arsenal are the fragile bottle merchants we all know them to be, Citeh renaissance is short lived and Villas form takes off from here.
Other than that !

The current Top 4 and Palace are the only teams better than us over the last 6 league games.

No one is that consistent outside of Liv and Arse and we're not cut adrift so it's still possible if we can manage to go up a gear consistently.

We are last seasons spurs.  Still in it, but reliant on mother results.  Today was a watershed for me.  If we get into the Europa it’ll have been a decent season.

If CL stands for Conference League we should be there or there about.

Yeah I can’t see it. That, today, was entirely in keeping with too many displays this year. Play well for a short while and just can’t sustain it. Compounded by poor management at the club selling our back-up centre back without a replacement in place. I think it probably cost us two points, now that gap is growing.
