    WAM DENCH has it right - Chelsea are dire enough for us to sneak fourth.

    Champions League is a very slim possiblity. If we beat Milan and Real and Barca get knocked out by each other or a team like Napoli who could destroy them on the counter... anything is possible.

    FA cup, I believe, we should go all out for. Full strength team every game.

    Chelsea were also dire last season, as well as the season before. For the past 2 seasons Chelsea have gone through very bad patches from October-January, and they always ended up recovering and ending above us, in the 2010 season they even went on to win the league, and last season when they were also dire they eventually went on to challenge for the title when they were completely ruled out in January, they could have even won the title had they won at Old Trafford in April. And what we want to ignore is that as bad as Chelsea are, we are worse, what makes anyone think we can even compete and make same great recovery? We have just lost 3 in a row, since December we have been struggling for goals, our play has been dreadful, and then add that to our disaster start to the season, so what makes anyone think we are even good enough, all signs show we aren't, as bad as Chelsea are, we are worse. Chelsea fans themselves will be saying as bad as they are, Arsenal are worse, so we don't pose a major threat to overtake them.

    Don't you get the irony? You say Chelsea have been absolute sh!t yet they are 5 points clear above us, what's that say about how sh!t we are? That shows as sh!te as Chelsea are, we are even more sh!t, we no honest Arsenal fan can deny this, we aren't better than Chelsea at the current moment, nor have we been all season. Our next game is Bolton away, and we know how that has gone over the years, God help us if we don't get all 3 points, if we don't, it will just truly cement how sh!t we are, especially if we lose.

    We have played United, chelsea still have to play them: Logically that would put us 2 points behind them and we beat them at the Bridge I'm sure we can do it at the Emirates, so that should put us 1 point behind them (I haven't factored in all the other fixtures, but I assume that we'll be equal so we should in theory pip them to 4th)

    We have a better defence than Arsenal at the moment.

    Think you'll find that was said before we drew yesterday. I understand though, losing three on the bounce and being 5 points behind must be frustrating.

    Do you only watch MOTD?

    If it wasn't for the keeper yesterday we'd have won by 3 or 4. Typical Arsenal fan, injury excuses <doh>. That's why you have a squad <laugh>. Or are you not fearing us because you managed to beat us 5-3?

    Their keeper? He did not make any outstanding saves. He did what any prem keeper should be able to do. Truth is most Chelsea fans should be as embarrassed with their season as we are with ours. Can we catch Chelsea? If Sagna and Wilshere can slot back in and RVP manages to find top form and goes on a run then yes.

    Bit different. We lost to them away. And only one team beat them at their place. Could easily see them beating you at the Liberty.

    As embarassed as you?! Have a day off mate. You're 5 points behind 4th, why on earth should we be more embarassed? Only reason we're not higher is because our striker doesn't know where the net is!

    ...oh no wait, you'll blame your injuries again.

    Wages and transfer fees. Lets say there is bit of difference in those aspects between Arsenal and Chelsea. You are 13 points behind City. And for a club that has the wage bill of Chelsea that is pretty embarrassing stuff. Also that striker that cost only the £50 Million. Its you that should have the 'day off'.
