Fulham Broadway 17,332 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Looking ahead its important to stay in touch till the Arsenal home game on March 22nd then it looks like the most problematic is Liverpool away. Jose is beginning to galvanise the away games now , which is why he was so fucked off with teh performances against Stoke and Newcastle. The title is on, but Mourinho is right when he says its Citehs to lose. In Jose we trust... Hull V Chelsea Chelsea V Man Utd Chelsea V West Ham Man City V Chelsea Chelsea V Newcastle West Brom V Chelsea Chelsea V Everton Fulham V Chelsea Chelsea V Tottenham Aston Villa V Chelsea Chelsea V Arsenal Chelsea V Stoke Swansea V Chelsea Chelsea V Sunderland Liverpool V Chelsea Chelsea v Norwich Cardiff v Chelsea -Champions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fulham Broadway 17,332 Posted January 2, 2014 Author Share Posted January 2, 2014 City have to play Arsenal, Liverpool, United, Tottenham, evrton and Newcastle away, we have a chance to win it, really. Definitely. And Arsenal will drop points against Sp*ds, Everton and United probably and possibly against anyone else. We are certainly in with a good chance, and Mourinho will be ordained a Saint.

Liquidator 5,176 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 you've left out Norwich (h) and Cardiff (a) on the run in haven't you?Anyway, we are in with a decent shout. A very decent one. I expect Liverpool are out of it now because they have shown that they just aren't good enough to beat the teams around them. Arsenal I am unsure of, they are doing very well and grinding out results which is something that they haven't done the last few years but they do have a habit of imploding in the new year, usually around February time (2010/11 springs to mind). Man U might build some momentum but the gap is too big for them to make up now. If City permanently sort out their away form and beat the big teams away from home I will worry. We need to go on a long unbeaten run and beat teams around us because that will be the difference come May. 37 points from our remaining games should be enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will have it sewn up by then. (whistling smiley thing). I thought yesterday if yernited had won against the yids they would still be in with a shout, but yesterday it became clear Moyes is the transition fall guy. Watched the Arsenal game as well and I am not sure they have the strength in depth, Cardiff came pretty close to holding them/winning, and as you say have a habit of imploding. The real contenders are City, and if they get into fifth gear are unstoppable, but as long as their erratic away form continues, then we have to be second favourites.

kellzfresh 7,229 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 If we win the rest of our home games, and beat a few teams away, we win the title. 82-85points is enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only place to be 11,313 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Fergie used to say that if United was within 5 points of the leaders in January then they could still win it. We have a coach who knows how to win titles, knows how to win this league and the team is getting better. Plus we can actually get the reinforcements we need and ship out some of the 'under-performing' aspects of the squad.However that run-in is going to be tough. Ideally you'd like to see Cardiff and Sunderland have a catastrophic next few months otherwise it's not impossible that 4 of our last 6 games are against relegation-threatened sides. 2 of our last 7 are against teams pushing for a top four finish as well.There's plenty of banana skins but if we continue to improve as we have been then we'll be there or thereabouts by the time we roll into Anfield.

Tomo 21,751 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Im not looking forward to the West Brom game.You just know the ref is going to have a 2 wrong's make a right mentality, i am almost sure we will concede a pen that isn't or get denied a stonewaller, possibly both.

BleedsBlue 1,549 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Winning this league without a clinical striker will be a huge achievement. Makes you just wonder how great we will be when we do get a pair of class strikers(one obviously being Lukaku) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosnian Blue 2,471 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 We should take it as it comes. Lets try and win the next three league games before Man City away, and then see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laylabelle 9,536 Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Some could be quite tough fixtures in there.Same goes for every team really though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonPride1905 236 Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Someone before me said we need to look forward to the next 3 games, exactly. If we get out with 9 points from those games we can focus on City. Title run is actually a game to game fixture, not so much a fight between the top 4. Atleast, I see it like that.
