Title Race

[G]

Would you rather we didn't challenge at all and just plodded along every season? There'd be no stress but **** all fun either.

I'd take seasons like this every year if I could. We'll win some and we'll lose some.

[DannyMan2006]

Having thought on it, I'm gonna stick my neck on the chopping block here. I don't think City will get 86 points. I think they'll **** up again at some point. We simply have to move heaven and earth to get a result against Palace and Newcastle.

City are simply not at their best. And if they're not at their best, then teams have a chance against them. Look how they bottled it against us and Sunderland. That is not the mark of a team in full flow & complete control.

Nah just need to see us get over the line once and ill be a lot more chilled

I don't think they will either. They have more incentive to do it now because it's back in their hands, but that brings added pressure.

Well said that man.

And lest we forget, it's the **** moments in football that allow you to appreciate the great ones.

And we all love football because it is unpredictable. If it was simply a case of best team wins every game there'd be no fun.

This.

Hopefully we take advantage of it.

Exactly. That added pressure. It's pathetic but it does do crazy things to players.

My mates a City fan. He's not convinced they'll blitz Villa and West Ham. City have a history of throwing things away & their fans will remember those moments and get edgy if they don't score an early goal in games.

It's the same reason Anfield was like a morgue in that second half today. Up until Chelsea scored a second the crowd were in silence.

if we were to miss out on 86 points again

Think I need a break from footy. Great season and great achievement. Dont remember our last title win. Deep down i thought this was it. After all those years. ****kk

I got slated for saying basically the same thing (probably because I still think 9/10 of posters on here don't take me seriously because I'm a) female and b) live in America), but I agree. Defeats like the one today take a lot out of you.

Kin ell! On goal difference this time too.

**** it, I've started feeling more positive this past hour.

I reckon they will **** it up as well, and we will it. We've been amazing this season and we deserve it.

Time to believe and get behind the team, they need us now more than ever.

[Leyton388]

Sickening.

[Vermilion]

Don't want to go to sleep tonight, because i know that when i wake up, i wont have that smile on my face and be all bright eyed and bushy tailed, looking forward to another beautiful day.

It will hit me like a ton of bricks, first thought of the day! and the next! and the...well, you get the idea.

[smither]

I thought I'd be broken after losing today but its difficult to feel anything but proud when thinking about what this team has done this season.

If you're not going to win the title then I couldn't have imagined a better way to go about it. We play great football, we don't cheat, score unbelievable goals. We're so fun to watch.

You can't point to many times this season where we've been disappointing - Hull away maybe? First half against Villa which we won anyway? Other than that we've witnessed performance after performance.

The team have put in an outstanding effort to get to where we are. 11 straight wins FFS. We're still the best team in the country, title or not and the rest of the league knows it. There's no doubt in my mind that we'll compete again next season.

I'm getting We Go Again tattooed on my head
