Title Race 18/19

[frank the tank]

Plus the fact that we will be European Champions will help our confidence too!!!!

[Mark79]

Admire this optimism but we have lost 1 game all season, you can't really expect an improvement or to even match it

City will bang out 95 point seasons until guardiola leaves.

The title is out of reach now for everyone else which won't be good for PL popularity.

Before this season I'd have said it must be quite boring for pep too... Ironically we may end up motivating him to stay.

We don't need to match or improve on 1 defeat. Convert a few of those draws into wins and we could lose 3 or 4 and still be better off for points.

A bigger factor could be that Klopp knows he can't rely on other teams so has to beat City. Approach both games like last year's CL and that's a massive 9 point swing automatically if we won both games.

Yep, do that and a few defeats elsewhere aren't going to do much damage. Bit like City this season, even 4 points off us has been enough to allow them 4 defeats elsewhere.

Losing the league after such a magnificent season will be deflating. The only thing that will make up for it is winning the champs league.

Losing the CL final last season spurred the team on this season, I think Klopp will be even more spurred on and ruthless if he has to. Imagine getting in a quality forward, a good full back and a creative midfielder on top of what we have now? We are going to steamroll the league next season.

Some murmurings of Guardiola going to Juventus. Not sure why, they piss their league every season anyway.

That'll be why then

[RedAndWhite]

Champions League is his entire reason for being at Citeh. If he doesn't win it there then his tenure will be seen as a relative failure. Much like his time at Bayern.

This. He was brought to City to win the CL and he has failed to do so - ironically being knocked out twice by teams from the PL.

Last summer I thought City would amass a huge number of points but I thought a good season would be if we closed the then 25 point gap to around 10 points this season

We've well surpassed that hope of mine

Next season, all we can do is keep City honest and force them to win as many points as possible

If they win the league this season and then again next year then so be it, provided we make them fight all the way again

In someways its hard to take, but I have to admit I am really proud that the club has achieved the points total it has, we havent bottled it by any stretch of the imagination and if City win it they will have done that on merit (just like we have amassed 90+ points on merit)

Big rumours City could be facing a transfer ban so that might be why hes looking for an out

[Rigadon]

Thought City looked nervous against Burnley. We just need to keep up the pressure - beat Newcastle and hope Leicester get something against City. You never know!

[Nicey]

Both teams have 6 points to play for, its far from over. Best case we win by 5 points, worst case we lose by 7 points. With several variables in between

Regardless of the outcome this season has been an outstanding success. Klopp and the squad have made me fall back in love with football, something I began to think I would not experience again in my lifetime

Yep it’s our last hope seemingly.

Big rumours City could be facing a transfer ban

It's the least they deserve.

Where the rumours from?
