    We were already low on confidence. Schalke were on a good run but it was halted today.

    If West Ham win, they go above us. Thats embarrasing.

    Can't see them winning. Besides I'd rather them laugh now and us be laughing come May

    Doubt we're going to be laughing come May, even if we get 4th spot, and miss out on the major trophies, what exactly is there to be cheerful for? Yay, 4th place, again, while our rivals just go on winning major trophies and challenging.

    You know exactly what I meant
    Btw we're only 9 points off 1st, favorites to win the CoC, stand a good chance in the FA Cup and still in a comfortable 2nd place in our CL group(we might even get an easier draw if we come 2nd)

    What's the point of playing anymore? Bad referee decisions are getting beyond ridiculous, f--king hell, you do your job as a footballer and team, you score, but it incorrectly gets ruled out, and you can end up losing or getting a draw.

    Only 9 points, lol, yes, because 9 points isn't a lot, us clawing back 9 points requires us to remain consistent without dropping points, and expecting our rivals to drop points, but tell me, based on what stats and facts, do you come to the conclusion that we can do that, when since day 1 of this season, we've been inconsistent and consistently dropping points and losing ground on the big teams? And don't bring up Spurs and how we clawed them back, United, and Chelsea are not f--king sh!tty Spurs to just throw away 10 point leads.

    Then don't hope. Don't play as of you don't have anything to play for. Because that'll certainly lead to better performances right? You think that Champions don't have to claw back leads. If I recall City's campaign was said to have been ended after they played us, yet who won the title, them? If you want to give up with 28 games left be my guest.
    And yes United and Chavski do drop points too.

    He's right. The title is a 3 horse race and Arsenal arn't in it:

    37/1 shots generally dont win the league.

    City are not Arsenal, they are a better team than us, you assume that we're capable of such comebacks, that's your fallacy, stop comparing us to the other elite teams, because we're not an elite team. City took advantage of United's slip ups, as I mentioned, for Arsenal to claw back, we have to remain consistent so we take advantage of slip ups, but based on the season so far, it's clear we are far from consistent, just look at our form in the last 5 games: L W L W L, that's hardly the type of form you need to be talking about title contendership and making a 9 point comeback.

    I have no doubt United and Chelsea will drop points, but I have no doubt we will drop points as well, slipping further away from them, and failing to capitalise on their slip ups.

    What evidence do you have, other than blind optimism and empty talk, that shows Arsenal as title contenders, because so far, you've shown ZERO evidence to back such a claim up, as all the facts, stats, and evidence are clearly stacked against you, bring me good facts, not empty rhetoric of how we can do it!!!!!

    Saying City did it isn't proof, City are a better team than Arsenal, with much more depth, and the fact is, City aren't Arsenal, so your proof that Arsenal can do it isn't based on anything about Arsenal, but just because you saw another team do it.

    That's like saying Bob can kick Mike Tyson's ass because Hollyfield beat him, lol.

    No but the odds are a fair indication of the chances of teams winning it.

    He accused you of Blind optimism by suggesting Arsenal can challenge for the title. Hes right, they wont.

    I just provided some context for his claim.

    Dont be fooled by the 2-1 scoreline. Utd won at a canter today and the gap between the teams is obvious to most.

    You should stick a tenner on, you could win nearly 400 quid:emoticon-0112-wonde

    United missed a penalty, and an open goal when Valencia did an Arsenal and fumbled his shot. The game could've easily been 3-0 by half time, and 5-0 before the hour mark.

    First of all I you could read you'd see I said we can challenge if we up the performances and invest in January. 2nd of all 9 points, while a big gap isn't un-toppable. And yes I admitted were we ****e today but at the end of the day the score was 2-1 and for all United's domination, they might have drawn if Giroud had scored that chance.
