Will we win the Premier League

[jwarry]

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

[Legion]

Not this season.

[PeterWithesShin]

No chance this season. I'd be ecstatic with 3rd.

[cdbearsfan]

No. That's not the sort of thing that happens. Someone fucking dreadful will win it, as always.

[AlexAlexCropley]

Looking at the top four,we're about eight goals short of really challenging.Which would normally be what Ollie scores.

[PeterWithesShin]

We don't create anywhere near enough really good chances.

[PaulWinch again]

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.

[Dave]

No, obviously not.

[rob_bridge]

No

[Rigadon]

With a prolific CF we’d be contenders

[Tony Daleys Shorts]

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.

[Baldy]

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.

[Stu]

No. In the mix for CL though.

[eamonn]

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.

[eye digress]

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.
