Title Race 18/19

[Chris]

All it takes is for UTD to fluke win and City to beat us and we're completely out. Far too early to even be amusing ourselves with a title win. I wont be expecting it to happen until its mathematically possible that its ours. Which the negative nancy in me says no chance. We still need a few more players.

You seem like a fun fella.

If we can't get a little excited about where we are, what's the point?

Indeed

Also, I think if anyone wants to be in the let's not get carried away camp that's fine, but at least let it hold both ways! A couple of bad results makes it much harder as we'd be 5 points behind, but 'completely out' is also getting carried away defeatist nonsense.

I'm bloody excited about the whole thing!

Anything can happen over a period of 5 games, let's enjoy where we are right now.

Its probably one of the few games were Mourinho will get a pass for his ****e tactics

This game is a massive banana skin, Jose will have his slow, time wasting tactics spot on. He will approach it just like the Chelsea game in April 2014.

I do feel however that we're better suited this time around to try and eventually wear them down.

The ManU fans and manager will really be up for this one, they would love nothing more than to knock us off top spot. Hopefully though, as has been the case so far this season - they're players will have zero aggression and motivation.

I can see exactly where your coming from. Iv suffered with so many false dawns. The last time I saw us win it, the TV I watched it on didn't have a TV remote and I was 12.

But, but - let's try and at least try to enjoy this rare journey. We may not win it, but at least we're in the conversation for once. Everyone the players, manager and the fans in particular are playing it down - that's the best way! Come May? Who knows?!

Oh for sure I'll quietly hope for the best

It's a massive 3 or 4 weeks for us. Champs league in the balance and United, Arsenal & City coming up. Not saying those fixtures will decide the title but they will have a huge impact.

[Chiccada]

Top of the league, no losses, above one of the greatest sides this league has seen. On top of that, we're apparently not playing to our full potential. Just going to enjoy it whilst it lasts, and if that for the next 5 months, so be it.

Crunch period for us.

I tell you this, Everton won't be doing us any favours against City!
