Half-way there - let's breathe and reflect.

[Insidious]

How we've performed -

After 14 played - 7 points clear of Arsenal
After 15 played - 6 points clear of Arsenal (a game in hand too)
After 16 played - 6 points clear of Arsenal (a game in hand too)
After 17 played - 9 points clear of Arsenal
After 18 played - 9 points clear of Arsenal
After 19 played - 6 points clear of Arsenal (a game in hand too)
After 20 played - 4 points clear of Arsenal (a game in hand too)
After 21 played - 6 points clear of Arsenal (a game in hand too)
After 22 played - 6 points clear of Arsenal (a game in hand too)
After 23 played - 6 points clear of Arsenal (a game in hand too)
After 24 played - 7 points clear of Arsenal
After 25 played - 7 points clear of Arsenal
After 26 played - 8 points clear of Arsenal
After 27 played - 11 points ahead of Arsenal (Arsenal have a game in hand, so perhaps close it to 8)
After 28 played - 13 points ahead of Arsenal (Arsenal have a game in hand, so perhaps close it to 10)

Maximum tallies

Arsenal can finish with 87 points if they win all 11 of their remaining games.
Liverpool can finish with 97 points if they win all 10 of their remaining games.

Liverpool can seal the League with 7 League wins (21 points would take them to 88 points)
The closest Arsenal have been to us since Gameweek 14 is 4 points - they held this proximity for one round of fixtures and have otherwise remained 6 points (or further) away and are now further from us than ever in this campaign.

Keep it steady and it's ours.

Beat Southampton at Anfield and we are 16 points clear before Arsenal kick off the following afternoon at Old Trafford

you never know, utd might get something, doubt it but still.

The filth took two points off them.
That's something!

Yes lovely, looks like we might be having a long celebration!

Okay - another little update.

The obvious negatives are that we aren't in any Cup competitions anymore. An FA Cup loss to Plymouth Argyle (the front three that started that day really should have had enough and didn't) along with an insipid performance in the League Cup Final to Newcastle, plus going out to PSG on penalties (who never had a lead in the tie until spot-kicks, but did deserve the win) were all a bit deflating.

The League on the other hand? Our maintenance of our lead is beyond encouraging - I understand nagging doubts but maintain that the evidence suggests we have a very comfortable position.

I'm guessing it'll be done after the spurs game

[miller0863]

If we win at Fulham on Sunday, with 7 games left, only Arsenal or Forest can still catch us mathematically.
