Title Race

[RedReet]

Biggest game since Istanbul tomorrow now, ****ing massive.

Athens?

[RedReet]

****ing hell, I think we win it if we can get a win tomorrow but crucially even if we lose we're still in it given City's away fixtures.

Before today, Chelsea looked capable of grinding out results every week. You just don't feel that with City, especially with Aguero injured. Just a shame Kompany only misses Fulham.

I think we just need to worry about ourselves.

Today showed the others will still drop points.Focus on ourselves and let the others worry about us.

All in our hands now............

Not quite, just need City to drop a couple of points.

I think we are as good as anybody in the league at the moment.

[Gingawaria]

Athens?

I'd blanked that from my memory tbh!

[Norbs]

It's in City's hands

[Fosterbloke]

I thought Kompany gets three matches off?

[ChesterDave]

Nope. Violent conduct gets three, red card for 2 yellows is 1. Prfessional foul I think is also 1 (might be 2).

Second red card in a season adds 1 extra game on to whatever the standard punishment would be for the most recent red.

[Fosterbloke]

I assume that's his first straight red this season?

Although points-wise it's in City's hands, if you factor in they're fixtures - it really isn't. Especially considering that they have started to wobble at the wrong time.

If you look at they're remaining fixtures - there's so many potential bannana skins

Manchester City v Fulham
Manchester United v Manchester City
Arsenal v Manchester City
Manchester City v Southampton
Liverpool v Manchester City
Manchester City v Sunderland
Manchester City v West Bromwich Albion
Crystal Palace v Manchester City
Everton v Manchester City
Manchester City v Aston Villa
Manchester City v West Ham United

Bigtime, they'll drop plenty of points I think though I expect Everton to throw that game against them if we're top or very few points behind City by then.

Yup. First domestic red card since 2011 I believe

If that was one of us you'd bore us to death with your response.
