Title Race

[Redspin]

If Chelsea carry on racking in the goals, we may have to win every game to come above them. Can't see them dropping many points.

I can see them dropping three points at Anfield, while I'm struggling to see any games where we're likely to drop points.

I watched their game against Arsenal today and the level of football we're playing is much higher than what they're playing. Today they got two early goals by counter-attacking at home. Then a soft penalty (and red card) for handball when the ball was going two feet wide. A crazy decision by the Arsenal player.

After that Chelsea picked them off on the break using the extra man. They were also aided by a terrible fumble by the Arsenal goalie for one soft shot.

Even though we conceded three daft goals today (against a team that beat Chelsea 3-2!) our football was far more impressive than Chelsea's.

As for Arsenal, they were utterly abysmal, truly shockingly bad even when they had eleven on the pitch. There's no way they'll finish above Liverpool

So today, Chelsea, City and Liverpool scored 17 goals between them?

3 horse race.

Bear in mind that both Chelsea and City were playing against ten men for periods of their games. Provides a little bit of perspective

[Exiled_red]

As I've been saying for a while if we can avoid slip-ups against the other sides the games against City and Chelsea will give us the chance to win it.

At the rate city and chelsea are going I fully expect us to get 3rd. Which is still amazing considering. I think if we get second it would be unbelievable. But I dont see first as an option. The other two need to screw up badly and we need to win everything. I dont see either of those two happening.

Please remember that if we keep on winning and banging in the goals we'll finish above Chelsea at least. Our game in hand and playing them at home gives us the upper hand. They could win all their other games and couldn't stop us finishing above them. So they don't need "to screw up badly". They need to stop us beating them and hope we "screw up badly" for them to finish above us.

Don't rate City either. We'll beat them by two or three at home and they'll drop more points than us in the remaining fixtures.

In summary, we're ****ing miles better than either of them, will outscore both of them, will also beat both of them and we'll win the league

[Redspin]

And I'm not sure even the most optimistic of us thought that we would win all three of these tricky away games, scoring 12 goals in the process.

Er...I did.

I thought we'd beat Southampton by a couple and predicted on here that we'd beat the staggeringly over-rated Mancs by three goals, when a lot of wet farts on here were pissing their knickers about nothing. I expected us to beat Cardiff by about three but didn't foresee a 6-3 scoreline, more likely a 4-1.

The only tricky away game in that lot was Southampton. They other two were banker away wins.

We'll win the league.

And I'm the least optimistic Liverpool fan in the universe. That's the result of watching us for 49 years and seeing us screw up time after time.

City rely really heavily on Toure, without him I would fancy them to drop points. At least he's 32 now and won't be beasting teams long into the foreseeable future.

Arsenal are pretty much out of it after today.

[Redspin]

True, but he's not going to get two penalties in many more games against ten-man teams like today

Also, without Aguero they have little spark up front. Not that long ago we were miles behind City in goal scoring. Aguero gets injured a couple of times and we've zoomed ahead of them quite easily

[Redspin]

Congratulations.

For what?

[dom9]

For what?

For being so right.

[Vermilion]

Poor old vermy.

Not my fault some people have no taste.

The several pm's i had from entertained lurkers was proof enough it was well worth posting. (obviously no pm's from lurkers, i'm lying about that)

**** em!

I'm off to dig up the other 73 verses!

[Leyton388]

As long as we get 3rd I'll be ecstatic. Automatic qualification to the CL would be superb and anything more is a bonus IMO. But I think we will win the league.

[Liverpool]

how the **** aren't we top, our form this year has been great, top at Christmas.
