The pressure really starts here. You could feel it from kick off.Quote:

That's a different kind of pressure.
We have a nice run in compared to City. That?s getting all those nasty away games sorted early for you.Quote:

This side is not at the level of Wenger?s invincibles. That squad steam rollered their way to the title. They inspired a level of fan confidence going into games that Arteta?s sides have yet to achieve.Quote:

I still think we have enough to win the league but it?s possibly going to be a bumpy ride, where we rely on others dropping points rather than simply crushing all before us.
I think it is more about holding our nerve and performing. Liverpool rattled us tonight with niggly stuff. Have to stay above that.Quote:

That confidence came from the players having won the Double, some of them twice. This side has won **** all.Quote:

Well, we haven't covered ourselves in glory against the bigger sides this season. Lost at Liverpool and Villa, drew at home to Liverpool and City. We beat Villa bit God knows how they weren't in front at half time.Quote:

We will see. I don't want to think about what hanging on to 1 goal leads is going to be like in the last 6 or 7 games of the season :-(
