Tonight's result feels massive 21/12/18

i don't know who said it but someone was making the point in how easy city had it last season as they went up another gear and this year they are the same with no drop off however we have also raised our game to their level which is fantastic. I think if we beat them in a few weeks no one will stop us.

100%

[frank the tank]

The city game is going to be ****in huge

[Norbs]

Yep. If we're ahead of them going in to it and beat them then I don't think anyone will be able to stop us

[Kenneth]

I think that's rash with pretty much half a season remaining.

Perhaps. 4pts ahead of City with 17 to go would be a good platform though

I don't know whether having that room for error would be a good or a bad thing for us - the squad seems so focused now and is dealing incredibly well with the pressure of having zero room for error.

Defeat wouldn't be catastrophic - assuming the gap stays the same until then only 2 points behind with 3 months left would be ok. We'd have all taken it.

I missed the game but I'm ****in histerical reading all that, I had lots of doubts before the season but none of them appear to have been reasonable

In any other PL era we'd be 12 points clear, celebrating a title right now. We'll just have to work harder, but I think we can pull it off.

Where's the fun in that?

I remember arguing here during Rafa's time that for selfish reasons I'd rather win the CL rather than the PL because those one off occasions such as Chelsea SF and Istanbul can't be replicated over a 38 game season.

As mad as it sounds, thanks to City the league feels like a KO competition, one or two losses and were out with every game feeling like a mini cup final (hate to use a cliche, but it's true).

It's ****ing brilliant.

[McDermotX]

Think it's better to just focus on the Newcastle game, and the small matter of Arsenal than worry about City.
Xmas is a right time to **** things up, so we'd want to be aiming for max points.

Not allowing myself to even entertain notions until we come out the other side of the City game in the position we are.
