Arse and Man C dropped points at home, we dropped points away. You could argue our chances improved marginally.
Won a point away against Crystal Palace. Definitely marginally improved.

We won't win it, but it's even more than usual a damn fuckin' shame, considering who will win it.

We played Crystal Palace and didn’t lose, which to me is more of an achievement than us winning a major trophy.

We can win it, and are 1 of only 3 clubs who can say that. That's enough for now.

You could agree we have all our hardest fixtures out the way with Arsenal and Palace. No joke. City away is last game of the season, so we'll either be in or out by that stage. Be more than happy to go into that needing a win 🤞

We do need Arsenal to shit themselves a little, but they're pretty reliable for that.

Posted on the Emery thread earlier, or at least agreed with a comment by SE, Unai’s reaction with the ref at the final whistle last night, to me indicates deep down he believes we can win it. Thats more than good enough for me. Bring it on.

I'm still not convinced that we are genuine challengers, but if we just for a moment consider that we are, then I just think last night was a big opportunity given the other results this week.  You just get certain games throughout the season that feel like cornerstones and I think last night was one if we are going to be really challenging.

Same exact thought crossed my mind.

Struggling to find the exact quote, but Emery said post match something to the effect that it was a balanced game that we were closer to winning than losing, and while one point is not enough, we must accept it.

To my mind, there's only one outcome one point wouldn't be enough for.

Apart from a purple patch of 30 minutes against us (when our midfield was depleted) Arses have been distinctly average in the last number of weeks. Barely scraping results. Man City* have a lot of new faces, are in transition and havn't been their normal fluent selves for a while.

They are both capable of leaving the door open for someone else to step in and grab the glory.

With a bit of luck on the injury side and possibly one or two 'experienced' loan signings in January, why not us?

Or as Jonathan Liew put it graciously in his column, 'Aston Villa, lol, give me a break'. That's nice.

On an emotional level there can't be many bigger prizes for Unai than beating Arsenal to the league. Might explain his unusual reaction at the end of the Palace game
