Title Race 18/19

[Norbs]

We were fine for most of the game. We lost the ball in midfield a few times and Palace cut through us when we did. I thought Milner was excellent, especially going forward - the red card was due to a horrible pass by Henderson (who had a great game btw). Zaha didn't get a sniff for the first 25 mins because we were so dominant with the ball. Because we conceded the first goal, we had to make the game a bit frantic, but we should have been better when we went ahead and not allowed Palace in the game.

The West Hame game will suit us.

My recollection of that Henderson pass was that it was a shorter pass to someone else who failed to control it. Think it could've been Firmy but I was watching a sketchy stream

[Norbs]

How good was Zaha again today, he's quality.

Very little end product though and seeing he's theor main attacking force that means they're going to regularly come up short

So by the time we play Leicester, City would have played two games and our lead might be only 1 point.

What’s your point?

[Fredo]

What’s your point?

This will go down the wire and won't be good for the nerves. At least to mine.

Just worry about one game at a time

[Exiled_red]

Alternatively City could lose both and we could go into the Leicester game looking to extend our lead to 10 points

It's unlikely, but there's no point in speculating at this point, we just need to keep winning games and not worry about what they do.

[Fredo]

Yeah you're both right. Can't help it though.

So by the time we play Leicester, City would have played two games and our lead might be only 1 point.

Or by the time we play Leicester we could be 3-6 points ahead with a game in hand to increase that lead. The pressure is all on city to just get to 1 point behind us.

[Norbs]

40 more points and the title is ours.

Pack it in

They can get 101

I'll bet you £28 pounds that they don't.

I don't think they will either but fact is they could. It's 42pts that guarantees us the title

Right, but that's not what I'm saying.

There's no way that two teams will hit 100 points.

[Shaggy]

11 days until our next game, and another 10 day gap after that.

4/2 - West Ham United (A)
9/2/- Bournemouth (H)
19/2- Bayern Munich (A)
24/2 - Manchester United (A)
27/2 - Watford (H)
2/3 - Everton (A)

Hard to believe by Feb 8th we'll have played only one game between now and then. I worry that we'll lose a bit of rhythm and momentum ffs.
