Well however we won the game, whether it was down to a strong line-up being played, a dodgy bit of refereeing or whatever, it's a fecking good job we came through looking at the other results.
Man Utd are continuing to grind out wins despite having a tricky start and despite playing pretty poorly, while Arsenal followed up their win away at Spurs by winning away at West Ham. It does look like Chelsea are going to fall by the wayside given their turmoil which makes Rob Styles idocy all the more annoying, but clearly the other main two are now pressing on and getting onto a run. We have absolutely got to match them blow for blow over the next few eeks in my view. It doesn't really matter how we play as long as we keep grinding out the points. Fortunately as we are not playing to our full potential, we've got the best defence in the league so we only need to score once usually to win the games.
The league won't be won before christmas, but my feeling is that at least one of the big four (in all probablity Chelsea) will be out of the race by then. Our task is to ensure that once the race starts in earnest around the end of january, that we are still within touching distance of the lead.
