Title Race

[Slinky Skills]

Dream scenario......

Downing goes through one on one early on, Company lunges in from behind and takes both ball and man.....RED CARD!!!!

City now with 10 men hear LFC have taken the lead and are happy to keep things tight and go for a draw.....10 mins to go and LFC are winning 5-0 and the City game is 0-0......Stoppage time and West Ham give it a bit of a push....Yaya Toure body checks super sub Joe Cole just inside the City half....West Ham send everyone forward....free kick goes into the box from Downing...there is an almighty scramble and Demichilis tries to clear the ball but only pokes it to the feet of the big man Andy Carroll.....he turns...composes himself and unleashes the mother of all left foot shots into the top corner!!!!!

City players collapse all around the pitch...Aguero is on the sidelines head in hands...Pelligrini looks exactly the same as he did all season....Big Sam is going crazy on the touchline....

The ref blows his whistle....and LIVERPOOL are the Ch.........

...so you've not been giving this too much thought then?

Aspas to score in the 93rd minute direct from a corner to win us the title, you heard it here first.

hahahaha - if Aspas scores at any time on Sunday and we win the title - i will get Aspas 9 with a liverbird tattoo on my body.

and you all know how i feel about Aspas. Not particular fond of tattoo's either haha

I reallt don't think West Ham will get anything out of this but they have improved in the second half of the season tbf.

we beat palace 9-0 & 2-0, then got done in the cup semi.......

Where there is life, there is hope; where there are hopes, there are dreams.

Why do most on here seem more downcast because of the Palace game than the one against Chelsea?

That makes no sense to me.

The Chelsea loss was 100 times more important than drawing with Palace because at that time we still had the title in our hands with three games left.

All a win at Palace could have done would have been to apply pressure to City. Nothing more. Losing the ability to control your own destiny was the key thing and we lost it against the Russian gangster's club from London

[PTP]

well for me - at least Chelsea, whatever we think about them and their manager, are clearly a talented team with a strong squad and the loss was bad - but two wins out of two would have meant that city had to win three out of three and be under pressure.

palace we were 3-0 up and cruising. with 10 mins to go. and we completely collapsed - that totally ended it.

Will take 12-2 over the 4 games

I can't even imagine the stress level of a West Ham 1 goal lead with time ticking down. I'm praying that I will be experiencing it!

If we hadn't had all of those draws and lost to Swansea, Palace and Villa we would be pushing Spuds for that last Europa cup place...****, wrong season.

My, how things have changed, I hope it continues.

No point at looking at games where we were unlucky or made stupid errors not least because it doesn't take into account all the times we got a bit of luck. We just are where we are - which is pretty ****ing good when you consider we were 7th last season. Look at City's squad, it's full of fantastic footballers and they play great football (shame the fans are ****) and it's no disgrace coming second to them (if we don't get lucky).

Also there is no disgrace in losing to Chelsea and drawing away at Palace. I know the manner of the result against Palace is gutting but the actual result in it's self was probably the most likely outcome and a point is probably par.

[ChrisDR1968]

Why are the City fans ****?

They were excellent when they fell into the third tier of English football. Loyal and loud, fatalistic and good humoured.

Do you think it's something to do with the design of the Etithad Stadium and the fact it's located on the other side of the city?

It would be so funny if Stuey actually did manage to have the match winning game of his career.
