I mean, looks good for us at the moment but unless Chelsea goes through a massive meltdown in the last few games I don't see us catching them.

Talk about cold water! I was quite enjoying getting carried away, I'll be more sensible from now on ;-)

Great stuff... at the moment.
Looking at the remaining fixtures however, I can't see them losing another and drawing 1 (or drawing 2) of their remaining 6 league games.

Chelsea:
Southampton (H)
Everton (A)
Middlesborough (H)
West Brom (A)
Watford (A)
Sunderland (H)

Of these we can hope but not expect them to drop points against Everton or West Brom. Possible. But that would assume we win all our remaining fixtures...

Tottenham:
Crystal Palace (A)
Arsenal (H)
West Ham (A)
Man Utd (H)
Leicester (A)
Hull (A)

Realistically, we can hope to win them all but every game bar the last one are easily lose or drawable.

The attitude we have however seems good. Win the next game. Worry about what Chelsea are doing after.

Momentum......it is with us and seemingly against them. Beat them next week and that will only increase this.

I'd add Southampton to their list of tricky games. Also Courtois out for how long? Defence looked shaky without him

All of our games are rough games. CP are not safe so they will fight, Arsenal, West Ham and United for obvious reasons, Leicester would love fucking us over and Hull could be fighting to avoid relegation. I think we'll drop quite a few points.

I don't see us winning every single game we have left. Do you?

Well, we are the form team ATM and are playing really well. We also have Rose nearing a return and most of the squad match fit, Winks and Lamella excepting, so I think we could do it.

If we had their fixtures I think we would win the title. It's a tough ask for us to win the league. Leicester and Palace on form, West Hams cup final. José wouldn't care to stitch us up and Arsenal could turn up

Everton are maybe good for a point and yeah Southampton or Watford.
Or West Brom. It's the premier and just look what happened to us end of last season. Could still go our way.
Well thing is it's still on for now and we gotta just keep winning. I don't think the cup match will make any difference to league form, whoever wins that.

They do have the easier run but they lost at home to Palace, City were seconds away from losing at home to QPR, Liverpool let a three goal lead slip at Palace and...we all know what we did last season.

It's the biggest cliche in football for a reason. But each game as it comes- we have the easier game in the next round of fixtures and it could conceivably be down to one point going into the NLD.

I wasn't too enthused by the Palace result other than the points gain because Chelsea battered them but they've looked poor today and seem to have lost their heads a bit.

The Hull game is definitely going to be very difficult as well, especially as Hull could be fighting relegation and Silva hasn't lost a home game for years.
