If we are to win the title

Living in a dreamland.

We would have to win at least 16 out of our last 19 matches. We're out of it.

sadly, you are right. I was clinging on to the dream until we failed to win against Man City.

[Armchairkopite]

Win 15 and draw 1, ; ).
So we can lose to Chelsea, Manc and Arse and draw at home to the toffs and get 83 points which should be enough.

[Armchairkopite]

We are very capable of winning all our home games with the toffs being the trickiest team to come.
Away the tough ones bar the obvious three are West Ham, Bolton, and Spuds.

The only problem with that is Rafa has his favourites like Kuyt for example.

Will Rafa be man enough to see he ain't good enough and bite the bullet as I'm not sure he will.

I don't believe he does. He's proved in the past that if a player doesn't cut it, not matter how popular he may be with Rafa that he is prepared to be ruthless. Eg: Morientes.

With regard to the thread title, every single game from here on in is incredibly important.

If we are to win the title, we all agree we need to win all of our matches especially against the teams around us.

Take a look at this (subject to television changes):

22 March Manchester United (A)
29 March Everton (H)
5 April Arsenal (A)

These are very tricky games for us. We don't have a good record against the Big Four. Rafa has never picked a point against them away from home. Last season, Everton came and parked the proverbial bus and gained a point.

This part of the season will give us an inclination on whether we are worthy title challengers or winners. 9 out 9 is required in these matches. 7 out 9 might give us some hope but very little as it is very close of the end of the season but anything less and we can kiss it well and truly goodbye.

Let's hope, we do go for a massive championship style run and go into these games full of confidence and ability to win these crucial games.

Just like the scum game was at home?

We ****ed that up though, didn't we?

True, he does have his more favoured players

However, look at Morientes - played almost every game, everyone know it would be better for him to move on, including Rafa. If a good bid came in for Kuyt in the summer, then he'll go. Best for both parties and all that...

Make or make break fixtures? Every bloody one of them. Yesterday was a chance for us to get ourselves back in the title race but surprise, surprise we blew it.
There's no chance of us winning the title.
