I think you mean second, 2 points off first. Arsenal are still 2 points above us.
Nope, i meant if all the results go our way, as in the teams around us (inc. Arsenal) drop points. Anything can happen at this stage in the season. Was only highlighting the pessimistic nature of the post I quoted!
Keep an open mind...no one, including myself, would have predicted the table looking like it does before the season started. With a little bit of luck and a great signing or 2, we could have an outstanding season.
By contrast, Sturridge could aggravate his injury, Suarez could knock out a referee and be banned for half a season, Gerrard could retire early and we could get relegated. Who the F knows, eh?!
