Still have to play them at home on 16 May so a win for us then could be crucial. They are a danger but still feel they wont have enough in them to catch us up.

I cant, we will struggle, but i think we have enough about us to keep what we have, i really think we should forget about moving up the table tho. I think if we had any chance we needed to get a win in at least 1 of our recent 0-0s. But a draw is not a defeat, its always good not to lose.

Its gonna be a battle till the end of the season, but lets face it, our team loves a battle.

Unless we find the right balance I can see them catching us to be honest, we looked out of sorts big time and very unbalanced. The injuries don't help either.

I'd be fairly happy with 7th, especially with the injuries and what we've gone through this season.

No, i wouldnt be impressed with 7th, but i suppose if you had asked me at the end of September i would have snapped your arm off for it.

I am quietly confident flowing football will return starting with sunday's game against Boro. I believe the players still have'nt come to terms with Arteta's absence and are still looking for him when in action. We still have quality to come.

We should SMASH Boro like.

No but we don't have a player who can replace Mikel Arteta, we just don't.

Same goes for Liverpool when they lose Steven Gerrard.

This season it's more like Liverpool can cope with losing Gerrard, but they are struggling without Xabi Alonso, who is their no1 guy for controlling the tempo and deciding which side and how they will attack their opponents.
