I think the Rags are a challenge for the PL title.
Their blueprint is keeping them in touch with us: a draw or a 1-0 Vs. top 6, beat up and bully everybody else.
So far they are on course: a draw with the Dippers and 1-0 yesterday.
A result like the one against Huddersfield will not happen to them to often.
Also they are missing Pogba and Fellini and they make them better (in a neanderthal type of way).
We will also have our rocky patch where things go against us.
So I don't think there is a lot in it between us and them in terms of points attainable
(in football terms the gap is light years, but there are no trophies for that - ask Newcastle and KK)
There could be a big swing next week - either way.
If it goes our way then we have a significant gap on them but if it does not then they are breathing down our necks.
The odds will be on us moving 7-8 points ahead of them next weekend. Good luck closing that gap playing the mourinho way.
I don't think our game against Arse will be a walk in the park. They seem to have found their feet and we are starting too look a little fatigued. The midweek game against Napoli won't help.
So Arsenal's game on Thursday has been postponed, has it?

I must go on one of our rare disagreement, Noolie, here.
You are right about factoring the demand coming out the transfer to Naples but, even without taking into account the humorous remarks below your post, on the Arses efforts on Europa:
a) we have well enough strenght in depth (barring defense dept) to cope with it pretty comfortably.
b) and more importantly, I don't think there is a PL side which suits more City system of play than Gooners. and notorious Arsene inability/disinterest to any kind of accurate defensive face is only gonna emphasise the gap.
of course, it's a PL game and nothing has to be taken lightly, but only thing that can prevent City to make a walk in the home park with Arses is PiGMOL.

It's odd but the match captions currently have Portu as the second goal scorer

Got bored with Leicester and flicked Girona on. Madrid are playing rubbish. Reckon Ancelotti might actually end up back at the Bernabeu before too long

He's no Harry Kane then ?
That guy can provide the crosses and then gets in the box to fire them home.
He's a great multi-tasker........

I think both the Catalans and the Madristas may be alive the the wider dimensions in play here
