Title Race

[Rigadon]

City were never going to drop points today. But an injury to a key player and two really tough away fixtures coming up means it's going to be hard for City to bridge the gap even if we drop some points in the next couple of games.

Ideally I would like us to go to Palace knowing we don't have to win. Newcastle, like Norwich was, is a banker of 3 points.

We should beat Chelsea at home. Palace away concerns me (difficult to focus on 'one game at a time' at this stage of the season ).

I think we should too but mourinho would love to upset the party and I can just him parking the bus for 90 minutes.

[Che Scouse Guevara]

Reckon we'll beat Chelsea. If a draw is due then it'll come at Palace. The top six clubs we've played at home have been beaten by at least 3 goals so I can't see us scraping a draw at Anfield considering it's against a title rival with only two games left to play after it.

All to play for, game on !

It would be great if Chelsea are still in the tie after the first leg against Athletico. Something like a 2-1 deficit would be great because I can see Pulis giving up on the league in one of his petulant moments and throwing all his eggs in the CL basket and resting all his best players against us in preparation for the second leg.

Chelsea are now 33-1 for the title. I can't for the life of me see Mourinho even being arsed with Sunday's game.

I'd like to think that too. It would be so nice to see us smashing them but tbh eeven if we lead 2-0 I would still be nervous considering our last two games. I hope you're right about this but I'm nervous like hell. For the last couple of weeks I haven't been able to sleep well. I think about a possible league title too much. I think I will burst into tears whether we win it or not. I will be dissapointed if it slips away but when I review the season I will be so proud of what the team have accomplished.

For me it is still unbelievable that we lead the table before boxing day and won 14 of 16 games in 2014 and still haven't lost a game in 2014 and now with three games to go we cannot afford to lose a game. ****ing killing me.

[Fredo]

If we beat Chelsea on Sunday, think that's the end of City's challenge. They'll be back to 9 points behind and this will demoralise them, no matter if mathematically they will still have a chance. 5 points ahead with 3 games to go, you've got to fancy us to win it now. It's still in the balance, but I'm as confident as I've ever been 3 games ago.

We are all in the same boat. Less than three weeks to go. Only three games left. Try to enjoy it

[Fredo]

It's all taken over our lives really but it's all we've ever wanted for 25 years. I wouldn't swap this for anything else.

It really is fantastic. It's not just what we're doing, it's how we are doing it. Our football is ****ing* brilliant


*sorry Slinky

[BobTheCharmer]

Its mad to think we've had to go on such an amazing run and even now its not won. Second plays first on Sunday, its mental.

[wavydavy]

If tomorrow is a tight game say a 1-1 or 2-1 defeat Mourinho has to and will consider the possibility of Chelsea having to go 120 minutes vs Atletico next week at the Bridge. Even if Chelsea beat us two wins from our remaining fixtures and they're still out of it. Not a risk he's gonna take IMO

[Shaggy]

For what it's worth (didn't know which thread to put it in)...and for anyone who missed it - Neville and Carragher's team of the season

[danperkins]

Personally i think Flanagan has been better than Shaw at LB. For all fuss about how good Shaw is going forward he has only 2 assists. Flanagan has 1 Goal 2 Assists and has played a hell of alot less than Shaw.

Surprised Baines or Azpilcutea hasn't got it. The rest of team you can't argue with .
