I was only referring to the fact you think the league season is not over which is true it finishes in May but for us to lose it from here then we have to lose 8 of our last 11 games and even then we may still scrap in if we win the other three.
Your statement does infer you are thinking about the rest of the season in fact it does more than imply when you say the season is not over yet assuming you mean more than just the obvious that it finishes in May for all teams.
Its natural as it draws to a close to think about what has been achieved and what lies ahead as is always the case.
You look at history and you look at results and you can draw some conclusions as to how things are likely to plan out , distribution theory as opposed to Pythagoras is what its coined in both parametric and non parametric statistics.
Likelihood doesn't mirror eventually always hence the term distribution but as all managers have conceded the title to us as have the bookies as have all the pundits at least in those quarters they believe or know its done and dusted.
I don't think it is until we win 4 more games or the equivalent of at this stage but after each round that has to be reviewed.
We certainly won;t need more than 84 points which will come to pass once the season is finished its a question of whether do that of course.
As you state the obvious one match at a time and as for future years well lets look at that in more detail come August.
Its a great time to be a City supporter we all agree on that.
Just for clarity, I'm not stating the season is over in May which it obviously is, I'm referring to the various staging posts eg: Carabao Cup, PL, FA Cup, CL.
Each one is still in front of us & the further down the line we go, the more fixtures will begin to pile up. Take this month for instance; we don't have another PL match until March because of various cup commitments.
We will still have to play those rearranged matches, which will mean less rest in between for our players. This will give an advantage to all those around us, notwithstanding the fact we have points in the bank to help.
I suppose it comes down to the way individuals look at our season. I've personally learned to deal with what's in front of me & that's how I view Manchester City.
Deal with what we have to deal with & then move to the next staging post. At the end of the season, look back & assess it, & we might have just collected some silverware along the way. Celebrate it, get over it, & then deal with what is in front if us again which will be a summer transfer window, pre-season & then a new season where we do it all over again.
One of the things I believe affected Leicester, is they never got over or stopped celebrating their unlikely PL win. From Ranieri to the playing squad, they kept on believing their season would just come good again, but it didn't.
I can't stand the man, but I've grown to admire what Alex Ferguson achieved. He had a similar mindset to Guardiola whereby he dealt with matters one game at a time. It proved successful for ManUre & I've always found the quickest way fro A - D is look at someone who has passed B & C. If it worked for them, logic suggests it's probably the best practice for our long term progression.
