Title Race

[Chilts33]

I was ok this morning until I tried this, now the PMT has kicked in again.

[Chilts33]

Sorry, I was on about the mustard predictor.

[Mostar]

I can't sleep. minds going into overtime about the game tomorrow.

Same here.

Absolutely mental.

I'm completely overconsumed by all of this at the moment.

Suggs, Omid Jalilli, David Mellor, Johnny Vaughn, Dickie Attenborough, Roman Abrahamovic, Andy Jacobs, Maggie Thatcher, Tim Lovejoy, Eric Bristow, Sebastian Coe...

Your boys took one Hell of a beating!

I had the leasure of looking on a chav forum yesterday. Oh my they hate us more than anyone. I haven't a clue where this rivalry has come from. They have never been nothing more than a skid mark to us until they won the lottory.

I guess it's bitterness from the two CL semi finals. With a bit of FA cup semi final bitterness thrown in for good measure.

Everybody is your mate until they have success. If a club pulls up a chair at the high table things change. Others at the table resent their success after initially not minding. Fans of the new power start to get cocky. For years they've had nothing & now they're gonna make the most of their unexpected success.

Take a look at Man City. The times they battled through. Relegation after relegation. Continually having their noses pushed in the dirt by United. Still decent crowds turning up for lower league games. A proper club, with proper fans. Then in comes the money. At first, everyone is happy for them, happy for their long suffering fans to taste success. But as they stick around, make bids for your players, call themselves a bigger club...... Well, people no longer think they deserve success.

A lot of this can also be laid at the feet of Mourinho, introduced the siege mentality the first time around and it's been the same ever since; every single Chelsea fan I know despises us and that's been evident since the Abramovich money and Mourinho came in.

I'd be absolutly gutted if Bourinho was our manager. The man is a joke and he plays worse football than the Bodge.

[Muddled]

No team has scored more than 90 goals in the English top-flight and not won the title since West Brom in 1965-66 (came sixth).

There will be two teams on 90+ this season though! City scoring two more in 5 games is a given I think.

I don't have any real hatred for Man City, yeah they bought their way to where they are like Chelsea did but they at least play decent football, Pellegrini seems a decent enough guy and they're fans in general aren't too bad about the success, compare that to Chelsea...

Who thinks that there might be another twist or two yet in the title race? I'm still sure we'll drop some points before the season ends. Will the league be sewn up by then though?

City and Chelsea are both now praying for a massive implosion by us.

[TheElephantMan]

I've been expecting us to mess up every game for about the last five or six games, if I carry on expecting us to drop points then hopefully we won't.

Keep panicking and carry on.
