Blue Colored Sky 1,807 Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 We win tomorrow and its but a formality. Too bad we're out of the Champions League, the rest of the season might be pretty boring.We wouldn't win a Champions League anyway (still I have a bad taste when I think about this) but now I'm more disappointed that we went out of the Cup, against Bradford at home, winning 2:0. With the situation at the table now, we wouldn't be pressed to split the focus between Fa Cup and the league and actually put a real challenge for all 3 domestic trophies. Pity !

Ledg 643 Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 After City got eliminated by Barca they will be mentally down a lot more than they are right now. After that they play against Tony Pulis's West Brom and Alan Pardew's Crystal Palace. It's too early to tell what's gonna happen but Jose told us to be optimistic so I'm very optimistic about the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barbara 15,149 Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 City on 58 with 9 games to go.We are on 63 with 11 games to go.The most point's City can get now is 85, if they win 8 and draw one we need 7 wins out of 11 or 6 wins and 3 draws and we have done it. They need to win all 9 to even have the remotest sniff unless we have a complete meltdown.Basically we can be above average from now on and still do it, it will take form mirroring the last 2/3 months of AVB to blow it now.but with this team's behavior and attitude I don't know what's less ideal - playing under pressure or sit comfortably over an advantage - because that's what they do something, they sit. We see what happens when we take 1-0 leads. I hope Mourinho really works with those players' psychological aspect, they seem too comfortable in certain situations and they feel like they can win matches when they please (couldn't be farthest from the truth given our defense record in general and our chances conversion)... this worries me a bit, but I'm positive we'll be champions because if there's team that crumbles under pressure for sure, that's City. I can't bring myself to worry about Arsenal although it seems clear to me they'll end up grabbing that second place from City - which tells more about City than Arsenal themselves.

Shouldn't be getting carried away regardless of the advantage we have.Not so much carried away, however the advantage we have now is massive that even if the worse happens tomorrow (today technically but meh), it isn't an immediate issue. 6 wins and 3 draws is enough if City win 8 out of 9, 6 out of 11 would be bang average form for our standards but it should be enough, the result today for me was one of the moment's that started to really swing it hugely in our favour the same way Palace holding United did in 2005, for me anyway.Ill never take anything for granted until it's mathematically sure, but I can't help but look at the situation and be incredibly excited.

We know how this place can take off if something goes wrong. I don't disagree with your point there but I would rather be cautiously optimistic/excited right now. It's the excitement/hope that kills.

I also prefer this than having City or Arsenal sniffing our neck.I just worry a little bit about how this team handles advantages. If they don't know how to properly approach games with a short advantage, I wonder how they'd do with so much room for mistakes. I'm a bit afraid they'll take the foot out of the pedal, get too comfortable and waste the lead. This lead should help us in case things go wrong against United, Arsenal and Liverpool, not Hull, Leicester and Sunderland.I think a bad result tomorrow (draw or loss) is even acceptable - as Southampton is a good side, but then we should be winning those matches if we want to win the league. I hope the lads show up and play (something they didn't bother to do against PSG imo). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fernando 6,585 Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Would like it if we win the title a match before meeting Liverpool so they can give us a nice honor guard on the day we play them. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 We have 64 points and ten games remaining. 30 points available.City are on 58 with nine games remaining. 27 points available.85 points is their highest achievable tally. We need 22 points (7 wins, 1 draw, 2 defeats) from our last ten games to beat them to the title. Arsenal are on 57 with nine games remaining. 27 points available. 84 points is their highest achievable tally. We need 21 points (7 wins, 3 defeats) from our last ten games to beat them to the title. United are on 56 with nine games remaining. 27 points available. 83 points is their highest achievable tally. We need 20 points (6 wins, 2 draws, 2 defeats) from our last ten games to beat them to the title. 7 wins from 10. Our last ten games (five at home):Hull away - WINStoke home - WINQPR away - WINUnited home - DRAWArsenal away - DRAWLeicester away - WINPalace home - WINLiverpool home - DRAWWest Brom away - WINSunderland home - WINThat would give us 24 points. That would give us the title. Plus throw in the fact I am convinced we'll beat at least one of United or Liverpool at the Bridge. But my greatest confidence comes from the fact City still have to go to Old Trafford and White Hart Lane. They will not pick up maximum points. If they do, then fucking fair play. But it is totally in our hands and I am not panicking after a draw against a team in sixth that has only let in 21 goals all season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
