Title Race

[Mattshark]

If we beat Chelsea, we could get 2nd. If we beat City, it might not be enough to win the league.

If we all win our games in hand over Chelsea the points are 69, 66 and 65 (us).

If we beat Chelsea, we go 2 points ahead of them.

We need a few more slip ups from City to win the league.

How about we win every game and city draw or lose at Everton? We win the league with that.

Still though....even though yesterday was a decent result, it was helped by Hull's inept forward partnership and with away games to the likes of us, ManU, Arsenal, Everton it'll be seriously tough for them, as long as Chelsea and us put together wins.
If they come through ManU and Arsenal (think they have them only 4 days apart) with max points, then probably yes.

[Fosterbloke]

That would do me nicely! Come on Everton!

How realistic is that we will win 10 out of 10?

In fairness, regardless the fact that we play Chavs, City and Spurs at home our remaining schedule is tougher than the one for Chelsea or City.

For me given what happened yesterday it is for City to lose.

Tougher than being in the top 4 when the best we were expecting was 6th?

Bring it on!

[Daffy Duck]

It's not realistic at all but if we do, we only need city to draw one more game and we're Champions.

[McDermotX]

Drawn games are as good as losses at this stage of the season. Cannot afford any drops. Any of the 4 teams. Whoever puts their run together will be champions. Obviously.

Very, very true

[Fosterbloke]

****ing hell, there are some great fixtures in March that will shape the course of the title.

Tottenham v Arsenal
Chelsea v Arsenal
Man Utd v Man City
Arsenal v Man City

[McDermotX]

Actually really looking forward to the derby today.......think Sherwood might actually blow a gasket today, although if Spurs win or lose, he wins. Will probably slate the players again, before joining in with the other Arsenal fans to celebrate.

Not true. We are 4 points behind Chelsea. 1 behind City. We are an uneven number of points. One point for us wouldn't be a bad result at some stage. If we are talking about winning the title, we will need to win all our home games. United is our toughest away game left. A draw against them wouldn't be the end of the world by any means.

Of course, a win against them would be great. And if we could beat them, we may end up facing against one of City & Chelsea NOT needing to win which would obviously be ideal.

I think, bottom line, winning all our games would hand us the title, as City will drop points. Chavs will drop more points. But I think for sure we will also. So drawing with United would not kill my hopes.

[McDermotX]

I hear ya

You always have to plan for the worst case scenario......would we like to win every remaining game ? Course we bloody would, but the bottom line is gaining or recovering one point is unlikely to shape things in your favour, even if they're games against your direct rivals who you are trailing.
The top 4 are not going to win every game left obviously, but if we found ourselves in position where we hope for something to happen to Chelsea or City on the last weekend, it would hardly be ideal.
Aim to win every game etc etc, even a loss and win is better than drawing two games etc etc
In either case we need a win today, as they are not one of our rivals league title-wise.

Loss or draw is dropped points today IMO.

[JohnDoe]

I believe.

[Big-Red-Ed]

We are really starting to look like champions. I would say city and Chelsea will be ****ting themselves after that performance.

[Gingawaria]

I believe.

Getting hard not to.

What a season so far...for sheer entertainment value alone, surely we have to win it!
