December will go a long way towards separating the real contenders from the premier league title pretenders.
Us Chelsea and Liverpool all have very similar looking fixtures including all 3 teams taking on City.
Any team that finds themselves more than 2 wins away from the leader's after January 3rd is going to have a real fight on their hands getting back in serious contention again.
If we can go into our fa cup 3rd tie within 3pts of top spot I will be very happy:-)

I think gunner we need sanchez to keep firing, i think we are pretty bang average without him. he's a wenger type player, goes out there and does his thing and does it his way. The rest of the team just follow him and aren't cabable of matching him. He may be a massive plus for this team but also a big minus because of the lack of a stratagy. If we are 3 points behind going into feb i will be happy but very surprised. We, at the moment don't look convincing at all, yet again didn't play well and a little fortunate. But at last a win in november.

Agree Steve we don't look very convincing at all and apart from Chelsea Watford and Sunderland its difficult to think when we have looked convincing but here we are just 3 points adrift and unbeaten in all competitions since the opening day.
With 25 games to go its already looking a long way back for Spurs who have to rely on everyone else dropping points while they don't drop any for 7 or 8 game run ( tall order) .
I think by February mate we will definitely know who all the real runners and riders are in this seasons steeple chase for sure but we might find 1 or 2 struggling to keep by the 3rd of January too.

Looking at the positives, November is normally our nightmare month.
But, 3-2 win at Ludogrets, 1-1 Spurs and Man Utd, 2-2 with PSG and now victory over Bournemouth.
We have been misfiring, but remain unbeaten in November, indeed since the first game of the season, approx. 20 games now in all competitions.
Chelsea are on a great run, yet are only one win in front of us.
No need to panic.

Its results that matter Dags so it's a case of so far so good, results in unconvincing performances are better than brilliant performances without getting the results.

Totally agree gunner the win is the most important thing but why are we scraping around every game for a result. Its not going to last if it doesn't change.
