Title Race 18/19

[Slinky Skills]

Obviously disappointing Spurs didn't get something today, but we shouldn't be defeatist.

A lot left to do for both teams.

[Buzzo]

It’s always been United IMO, **** as they are they don’t lose at home that often. City looked tired and nervous + United have the tools to hurt them. A draw is all we need, if United score first City might collapse. We just need to win tomorrow to keep the pressure on.

Am disappointed they didn’t drop points but saw enough to make me confident - away to Burnley and home to Leicester no walk in the park either.

Up the Reds

Well said.

Look, if we don’t get across the line then it has been a monumental effort. We will just need to be even better next season. But all is not lost we have to fight to the final whistle of the final game.

Throw in the CL where we have every chance. Better a 2 leg toe with Barca than a one off final.

This team of ours is amazing. Imagine next season with Ox fully fit and a couple of new signings

If teams just held out for the first 15 ****ing minutes maybe City will start to panic. Spurs losing has opened up the champs league spots once again. It's going to be some battle to see who's going make the other 2 positions.

[Leyton388]

I hope we **** Spurs in the cunt if we get them in the CL final.

[Leyton388]

Don't give up yet pal, they'll still drop points I'm sure of it.

Just sickening as we should be champions this season but we are up against the Lance Armstrong of Football and I just feel we are going to be cheated out of it.

Like has been said above it pisses me off that teams play out of their skin against us but roll over for those ****s.

They have cooked the books and cheated for years yet nothing is said about that and they are hailed as the greatest team ever.

I think we need to look at the bigger picture, if you had said to us at the start of the season, that at this point of the season we were a point behind the leaders with 4 games to go, most of us would have been happy with that, similarly if you had told us that we would finish the season with between 85 and 97 points again I am sure most of us would have been happy with that. We all knew what Man City were capable of, they got 100 points last year and they were always likely to top 90 again this year, their financial situation has also been well known for sometime so there's no point in complaining about it now.

If we don't win the league this year then yes it will be frustrating but this is the first year we have challenged with this side, yes we might have been unlucky but we will gain experience from it, I don't think that we expected to win it at the start of the season and we can be proud that we have pushed them hard and made them work for the title, and we will be back pushing them again next year.

But it's not over yet, lets keep winning our games and pile on the pressure, despite winning today they looked a little shaky at times, they still have some tough games, while I don't think Man Utd are a good side, they need the points, it's a derby and the pressure could tell in a game like that. The Burnley game won't be easy, and we just need to hope that Brighton need a result on the last day to stay up. This still has a long way to go lets win our games and see what happens.

I hope we **** Spurs in the cunt if we get them in the CL final.

Spurs losing today has fecked up any chance of taking it easy in the league to concentrate on the CL. A Utd and Arsenal win this weekend would pretty much start the diarrhea. And if Utd somehow magically beat City at Old Trafford then the CL semi final will almost seem meaningless if they can't play in the competition next season (and get the money associated).

The CL trophy is not a backdoor for them. It will dilute both challenges leaving them sucking their thumbs yet again. And financially crippled as usual. My point? We will probably **** them in the cunt in the final.

[vlahka]

Spurs was my main hope also. I expect nothing from UTD. If any surprise loss of points are going to happen it'll be against the lower teams. What a sad state of affairs.

[jonnygrunter]

Yeah agreed, just can’t see it now! Was banking on spurs picking up at least a point

[BigChief]

City have won 10 in a row. They will have to win 14 in a row to win the league. Is that even possible? If so fair dos. I just want us to score 97 points. What a season!

[Liverpool]

If so they'd have beaten 18 out of the 19 teams in the division in the second half of the season. 54 points in the second half and 54 at home overall. It's crazy we are even competing tbh

They won 18 straight last season.

We all knew what Man City were capable of, they got 100 points last year and they were always likely to top 90 again this year, their financial situation has also been well known for sometime so there's no point in complaining about it now.

Sorry mate but that's absolute nonsense. They're being investigated by four separate governing bodies due to financial and transfer irregularities, and that's aside the £1bn they've spent in 10 years.

Whatever trophies they pick up, they won't have deserved any of them and more people should be complaining. They're cheats and they're ruining the game in England. I absolutely despise them and there can't be enough bad things happen to that club to satisfy me.

[Rafa Justice]

As far as the title is concerned, it's heartening to see how nervous they and the crowd were when things weren't going their way today. Absolute ****houses and their fans are a joke. No fan base, no atmosphere, no bottle when someone is breathing down their neck.

If they drop anything we need to be in a position to capitalise.

[McDermotX]

As was pointed out by many, they can easily put a winning streak like that. Efforts to point to the losses against Palace, Newcastle etc are strawgrabbing at its worst.......they were complete outlier results with absolutely nothing to suggest one of the lesser teams in the run in could possibly have taken points off them again.
Spurs and ManU are their acid test, and they're halfway through it already, much like many would point to our game against Chelsea last week.

There is absolutely no margin for error, and ours were the likes of not cementing our advantage against West Ham and Leicester. It might well cost us at the end. I fully expect us to win all our matches even going into the Chelsea game, but we have, IMO, only an outside chance now at this stage.

I'm not suggesting any sign of giving up, as the team has put in an extraordinary season so far, but I think we'll know Weds evening whether or not we are going to win the league.
If ManU prevent them winning, it's in the bag for me.

If those dickheads **** up against Everton tomorrow, Weds might be verrrryyy disappointing.
