Title Race 18/19

[Pablo]

if City are top going into the last weekend its over, but until then i'm not giving up

Same.

It's looking very unlikely for us now, but until they've beaten Burnley and Leicester I'm not giving up hope.

[Rigadon]

Don't subscribe to City buying/cheating the title. Same thing was said of Chelsea. If City win it (still three games to go), they'll deserve it.

[Maxiedge]

We 100% deserve the title over City imo. They have been so ****ing jammy with their fixtures this season. Haven't played a single good team in the CL, FA CUP, Carabao.

In the PL, 95% of sides see their game with City as a free hit. When questions have been asked of them, they've lost four.

You might think me mad, but I currently wouldn't swap our position for City's. I would prefer to be in CL for the sake of a point. I still believe that if we win our remaining games, we will be Champions.

Lets just get back to the top of the league on Friday and take it from there.

Edit: Ok they played Chelsea in Carabao Cup final but my point was more weighted towards to the CL and how they weren't really tested by a top side until they eventually played a half decent side in Spurs and et voila

They are cooking the books to get round rules, how is that not cheating?!

Yep, it might not be on the pitch "cheating", but they have undoubtedly cheated financially to get where they are.

Considering we've turned a legitimate profit then it's not at all a level playing field.

[Assassin]

Yeah, this is it for me. We can’t point the finger of blame.

We are looking at 1mm on Mane shot and the red for Komoamy rather than we played **** at Utd. We needed to be almost perfect since the New Year and we have been so very close to it.

This team deserves a lot of praise.

My hope is that Pep fancies another challenge, such as Juve

I also have hope, but I struggle to see City droppingpoints. Maybe Burnley... maybe Leicester. Definitely not BHA.

They have 3 potential banana skins and so do we. Its not over until CJ's girlfriend sings

[kingfunk]

Ye of little faith. I still think city will draw one of their games. My biggest fear is that we may also slip up.

Financially cheating means they are cheating on the pitch. More money, better players, infinate depth in squad

As a group of players, yes.
What the City hierarchy get up to isn't on them.

But as a football club they don't, as it seems clear they've cheated financially (not just bending the rules, but flagrantly pissing over them on a massive scale) to be able to put that group of players together.

Feels like the league's gone now sorry to say it's those draws back in Jan-Feb that cost us IMO. Still we have a good chance of winning the CL and with a few good additions in the summer I have no doubt we'll challenge again next season.

Think its wholly unfair to nitpick at any of our season and those draws are no different to any of the other 17 points we dropped this season if we win our last 3. Incredible season no matter how you look at it, You could say without those losses to Leicester/Newcastle/Palace cost them, The reality both teams have been amazing this year albeit one with the wealth of a sovereign nation behind them!

[Maxiedge]

City's run since their loss to Newcastle has been ridiculous. Surely, something has to give?

I don't think it's about who they play now, it's just the probabilities of eventually having an off day as well as the other team taking their chances. These two factors need to come together.

We just have to make sure we do our bit.
