This title is ours.

We were the bes team before the lueage gegan and we still are with a good amount of squad depth and the likes of Hazard gracing us with their presence. Anyone who keeps arguing that its Man City's to lose and that we are second or third favorites are obviously lying

How is the title ours? If both we and City win all of the remaining games, the title goes to Manchester. Mathematically, it's City's to lose.

By the way, we are winning and it's all good, but we will NOT win all our remaining matches.

So, when we do lose points, I dont want everyone flipping out and going crazy. Just stay positive and we WILL win the title!

Well, I just want to take it step by step and see where we are after a few games here, few games there rather than jumping straight to conclusions and all that. ;)

No, I agree!

It's just that I think all games matters independently of whom the opponent is. At this stage, each match is worth 3 points and nothing else, no matter against who we play...

With the League so close and in its last weeks, I really dont think its important whether we are playing Cardiff or Arsenal. Just like I dont think it is important if City plays Manure or Fulham. Every single game is a final now!

True but on paper at least, you do look that way because there is a higher possibility of say City dropping points against United than Fulham.

Well, very theoretically, because sometimes great offensive teams (like City, obviously) struggle against the smaller defensive fixtures and play amazing against the top sides!

City pretty much trashed everyone at the top 7 (apart from us) and had a lot of difficulties against the likes of Cardiff, Stoke, Aston Villa, etc. Manure will definitely not defend for 90min and the game will be rather open, while if City faces Hull or Fulham, they might find it hard to break their 11 men wall or whatever.

Like I said, I would go one week at a time and NOT focus our "hopes" on the big matches...

City I feel will drop more points then us.

Remember all they need is one injury from an important player and the system they used goes completly to pieces. We have the better depth by miles.

Just because you "feel", it doesnt mean it's our title to lose!

City has more goals, better startin eleven, better subs, more of a fear factor on opponents and they are confident after the League Cup. If anything, it's their title to lose. They are the clear favourites!

Now, that doesnt mean I dont believe we can win it. I have been one of the most optimistic members thorughout the season and I trully believe we will be celebrating come May. However, it is no wear near over. There is a lot of football to be played still...

Points in bag > 1 game in hand

Points in bag >>>>>> 2 games in hand

Points in bag >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 3 games in hand.

Its our title to lose. City have to play utd, everton, pool, arsenal away. Add to that fixture pile up plus their overdependenxe on yaya, they will crumble undrr the pressure.

Yes we do. But 4 AWAY games (specially since city have been average at best sway from home), can't be compared to one away game and a home game against arsenal.

To b honest I ll be more worried about villa away than arsenal at SB.

Well we can still always lose to the small teams. City can aswell but probably wont happen..

Generally speaking I dont want to get my hopes up so all I'm really thinking is something along the lines of: "Its fine if we don't win anything, it's Jose's first season and we're really only starting to build the team... I guess we kinda have a chance to win the title, that would be awesome but no pressure, City would probably win it, I dont care, next season is ours."

That's one way to look at things. But come on. Who are we kidding!!!!! We will ALL be disaapointed if we don't win the league this season. Irrespective of how much we play down our chances.

Anyways, I simply can't stay so calm when we are playing the way we are.

We're competitive again, we've got a proper manager in charge and there's something being built here but there's still clear problem areas and Man City are further along in their development than us. We've exceeded our expectations but there's a reason our expectations were where they were.

The only thing I know is that I'd be physically sick if Liverpool won the league. But City.....they're favourites still.

I agree with us being a work in progress. And the fact that we are just starting our long reign at the top.

But looking at our fixtures and city's fixtures, I can't see how they are the favorites. I simply.can't!!! We have done some immense hard work in being where we are right now. It would be very disappointing if we dint win the league from this position cos I.feel city will drop a lot of points now. And for us to lose the title (or rather not win the title) would mean us also droping points heavily. (If city win all of their 12 left games, then its a different case, but can't see it happenin)

I hope they will, but hence why it is their's to lose because we have to hope for them to drop more points than us.

I completely agree that points in the bag is so much better than games in hand and that puts the pressure on City. But how does that make it our title to lose? We have no control over City's matches results. They can easily win all of their postponed matches and be back top, or they can drop points and we'd stay top. Therefore, it's theirs to lose, or at the very least, they have the advantage, not us.
