Title Race 18/19

[Pablo]

There's no (well, little) chance of City slipping up to anyone bar Spurs and/or United IMO.

In December they lost to Palace and Leicester. Both of whom they have to play before the end of the season.

It's unlikely but I wouldn't rule out the pressure telling on them and them slipping up unexpectedly.

I would be interested to see them fall behind in one of those games. See if it rattles them.

Just to add a bit of context: Leading up to the end of December we won 9 league games in a row and in the end City caved in and surrendered their lead. We're currently on a run of 4 wins, if we can win the remaining 5 I honestly feel we'll put them under that much pressure again that they'll drop points. I know it's a tough ask, but it's doable.

I'd just like to see Citeh be nil-nil after 15 minutes... so many times I've tuned in to the start of their games and then 'boom - 1-nil', sometimes 2-nil in the first 10 mins and I switch off. Game over.

Think they'd struggle more if someone managed to nick an early goal on them or even just hold them at nil nil until half-time...

I know, and it's infuriating. That can't and won't continue in every remaining game. At some point they'll go behind and they'll have to respond. Are they as capable of doing that as we've shown we are?

I honestly feel the only real edge we have over them is in mental resilience. I think that's their one weak point as they've shown in a few big Champions League games over the past few years.

In the past month Watford, Bournemouth and West Ham all kept City scoreless until the 2nd half.

Then in 2 of those games they were gifted the breakthrough goal by the officials

Beat me to it. Palace and Leicester are also in better form now than earlier in the season. Also, City drew away to Palace and Burnley last year when they were arguably a better side.

If anything, the opposite to what LR said is true, going on recent results. Like you say, they might go on a beat them all, but to write these games off is just silly.

...be nice to see Palace gifted one the other way...

I have a good feeling about the Palace game, although I do have this bad feeling that after getting 100 penalties this season, Palace are going to get denied the most blatant penalty against City.

...trying to imagine Woy masterminding City's slip up. You couldn't write it...

Yes it would

[Pablo]

Also worth pointing out, for those that seem to think City are unbeatable, that they've already lost 4 times in the Premier League this season. They are not infallible!

[Nicey]

they have been far for invincible of late a resurgent Spurs Team can put a serious dent on their season, there is no way they win all 3 of those games with Crystal Palace away sandwiched inside those games, for me Crystal Palace on their day are one of the most dangerous and most difficult teams to play outside of the top six, full of players in the shop window of a big move in the summer. Seriously glad we dont have to play Palace away in our remaining games

We just need to get one over Chelsea before we even look at city. Its our final real hurdle.

But City play before us.

Lets start burning some plastic flags!
