Special Juan 28,141 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Potentially massive weekend once again. Think City will have too much for Hull and we will dispatch Villa. United face Liverpool on Sunday and Spurs face Arsenal, I can see United rising to Liverpool and getting a draw at worst and fancy a draw at WHL.We just have to keep on trucking, and if City do slip up at Hull and we win.....wow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laylabelle 9,536 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Big big big games.Hope Man U can beat Liverpoo cause that be a help with them having a game in hand.Man City...games in hand a pain...gotta win our game and hope everything else falls into place.Dont do our part then cant rely on other results to fall our way and get annoyed when they dont Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boshman 1,073 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Massive weekend!Liverpool and Arsenal could be good results for us but i am more worried about City and i can't see them slipping up against Hull. Which obviously means we HAVE to win againts Villa. Which history will tell us doesn't come easy to us.I am relying on United, Arsenal, Liverpool & Everton to take points off City, not Hull or the like.So come on Chels, let's fucking do this!!

Berke 58 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 As mentioned already it's a huge weekend for us. I think we'll beat Villa and that City will ease past Hull. Reckon Spuds will beat Arse and Liverpool will win at OTGetting closer with every game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 It is remarkable how a short series of 3 or 4 wins can make us favourites even with City not having dropped a point since. It is still City's to lose, but even though we will probably still be in the CL after a delayed finishing off of Gala, City got the harder programm with 3 more Epl fixtures than us. If we can extend our lead to double figueres in the next two weeks, we will have won it before april even has begun. In the same way we also can lose the title this month, so fuckin concentrate on the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara 15,149 Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 I can definitely see a battered City dropping points against Hull away. I'm not saying it'll happen, but I don't think it's unlike as some do. City are down now, their spirits completely defeated (just as their results, bahahaha), and a Hull is quite the decent side playing at their stadium. If you don't consider the off day they had against United (!!!) and the two goals we scored there, they conceded very few goals in their turf throughout the whole season, scrapping results such as beating Liverpool and drawing with Spurs. If they didn't have collective and repetitive brain-farts like Spurs defense had against us, they would have beaten (or at least drawn) against United. So I don't think City will have a cake walk after being kicked out of UCL once again. They're hangover and not the good kind. Perfect timing for them to face a team like Hull away. Then their little fixture madness will start and I think could escalate quickly if they don't recover fast from being out of the two other cups they were destined to win this season.I have a good feeling about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We havent been playing great lately and we usually have dofficulties when travelling to their stadium... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Skipper 20,609 Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 If City drop points, beating Villa would be a huge psychological win for us, and I would for the first time call us favourites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barbara 15,149 Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 I expect us to be very fierce from now on and regardless of the points we need to win or not to be champions (I won't get into the current discussion because I don't know how to predict those things) and to drop very few points. I think there are two games that we could drop points: Liverpool and Villa away. If we get passed Villa with 3 points, I think our chances go up to 60 (I wish this fixture was earlier, but maybe it's a good thing to play them at the very end of the season when we're likely to be playing 1 game a week just like them).Well, I continue to think the same.As we didn't win, I think we lost some of the edge, but at this point of the season, teams will drop points here and there.I still think those were the two fixtures we would drop points. If we drop another 3 against Liverpool, we'll have dropped six points in 9 rounds. I think that's a good thing.I really felt like a defeat was coming at some point. We've been scratching some wins playing some mediocre football in some matches (especially first halves). Now that this is behind us, we can focus again and continue from where we were.I won't write us off because I can see the other teams losing as well. They have way more complicated fixtures than us imo and nobody will go the last 9 rounds of the competition (or in City's case, 12) without dropping points when the league is so close as it is this season. So I'm still positive, although that was a good reality check, even if I sort of expected it to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City WILL drop a lot of points cos of the fixtures they have. Emirates, OT, goodison, anfield.Some people unfortunately can't come out of a mathemtical abd idealistic world. Anyways, reality check but still top of the table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrExcalibur100 7,124 Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Am I being too optimistic?I think we will beat Arsenal at home and I think you seriously over-estimate Liverpool's quality. They will drop points. Man City are much more scary, but they have some hard games away from home. I still think we are in a decent position to win it.

Barbara 15,149 Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Am I being too optimistic?I think the final numbers could be that, but I see more defeats and less draws. But then again, that's pure gambling on my part.I think we'll lose to Liverpool (although a draw is also likely), but I think City and Arsenal will lose at least one of their matches, in addition to the odds draws. I see Liverpool nearly as you see it, except I think they'd win against us... but as I said, a draw is also likely, but with a couple of losses too.My main concern continues to be the Liverpool match and the amount of points City drop.

dee25 1,044 Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Am I being too optimistic?I don't see City drawing that many games. They'll probably lose one game and draw another, but 4 draws? Can't see that happening. They've only draw 3 games out of 27. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've only draw 3 games out of 27.They haven't had many draws because they haven't played many good teams. And either way, me predicting draws allows for leeway - they may end up winning one of those games, but equally they could lose one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boshman 1,073 Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 It's still on!!I can't see Arsenal and Liverpool being consistent enough to claw their way back above us.The crucial time will be the 4 game period where City playing United, Arsenal and Liverpool away. We have 4 very winnable games. Let's hope and pray City drop points in two of those three games.I agree Alex. 20 points will do it for us. No doom and gloom just yet!
