The Title Race - 2021/22

If I ever get the opportunity, I will be taking pics

Taking pics should be the last thing on your mind.

No one has also mentioned Grealish scoring the winner against Villa.

it’s all been Coutinho this, Gerrard that

knowing Pep Grealish won't be playing.

We should, but till then we'll be sick all of us.... Im or feel sick, already

In trying to enjoy it. Beginning of the season, if you said we'd be 1pt ahead with 1 game to go against a lower half team at home, everyone of us would have took it.

I see it evenly divided into Percentages.. for three scenarios..

1) 50% early goal for us, immaculate football and 3-0 up inside 35 mins, singing “championes, championes ole ole ole” before a cricket score. Result. Champions and well pissed up.

2) 25% mostly immaculate football but utterly toothless in front of nets.. Watkins goal on the counter with their first venture in our half at 41 minutes.. second half ridiculous pressure with little joy until a Kev thunderbastard on 69 mins and even more relentless pressure until Grealish curls it into the top corner on 87 mins who then runs over to the Villa fans who have hurled fake cash at him for the previous 90 odd minutes with a wad of £50 notes gripped between his teeth and Stevie slips over on the side line due to all the ensuing drama. Champions.. albeit with chest pains until at least an hour or two after and it’s finally sunk in. Then get drunk.

3)25% mostly immaculate football but utterly toothless in front of nets.. Watkins goal on the counter with their first venture in our half at 41 minutes.. more relentless pressure. Countless dodgy refereeing decisions, a goal wrongly chalked off for offside and at least 3 stone wall penalties, the third of which is finally awarded on 84 mins, which we miss. Title over. Blue moon breaks and Haaland decides he has always wanted to play in his home country so joins the aptly named Viking FC. Definitely get drunk. More drunk. And cry.

Enjoy the ride blues.

Fuckinell, I was ready to slit my wrists by the time I got to the end of that.

Haha but now that we’re here at this point you can’t tell me you’re enjoying the feeling. For me personally my stomachs in knots no thanks to Ralph and his white flag approach and it’s only Tuesday. Gonna give myself an ulcer if I don’t relax a little.

How would people feel if our game is 0-0 till 88 minutes and then Mings slips and we score in the 90th?

I would be happy we won whilst awaiting paramedic assistance/transportation

It's impossible to be totally confident for Sunday , especially having recently witnessed some of the poorest and bent officiating possible . The home game against the dippers and Sundays game against West Ham are just 2 games where mind boggling decisions against us have kept the dippers breathing down our necks . I'm guessing the dippers are more than happy with the match officials in their games and who wouldn't be !

 

[himalayan_blues]

We slipped at real madrid after 90 minutes, similarly at west ham (carabao cup) we could not win.
Not this time again. I am going through bad times not my club please.

 

[Chi-town blues]

Good news . We are safe .

If City had beaten Southampton, Palace, and West Ham away, and Spurs and Liverpool at home, we'd be Champions by now. You/we can't keep on blaming officials and everyone else. Beat Villa and City are Champions. Slip up against Villa like the mathces mentioned and Liverpool are Champions. It's still in City's own hands.

Oh please, we dropped points against west ham because we missed a penalty, not because of the referee.

We were abject at home to spurs and palace and cost ourselves points, not the refs fault again.

If we lose the league on sunday it will because we dropped points through our own mistakes.

Let's not start playing the victim, it isn't our style leave that to the rags and cultfc

 

[bluemoon32]

We need to beat a side currently in 14th place & we're playing at home.
If we can't do that then we don't deserve to be champions.
No doubt there will be a few scares on sunday but i truly believe we'll win.
Come on City

Hey! Had we also beaten West Ham in the League Cup, Leicester in the Community Shield, Liverpool in the FA Cup semi final and Real Madrid over two legs in the Champions League we could have won the Quintuple!!!!

Not true, we'd have to have won 6 more games of football after those.

Press the button Vladimir.

We’d also be on 100 points with 3 left to play for. That’s bloody tough going

 

[Coatigan]

Hey, if you Really want to torture yourself, try this. Imagine needing a goal with 10 minutes to go, and watching Pep refusing to make substitutions or change things up. Then go and imagine the QPR game with no substitutions. Take it away.

Since 2012 we have gone into the final day 3 times out of the 5 league titles we have won needing to win the final game and done it. Either we are due one to blow up in our faces or City go out and do the business. Fuck Liverpool they’d rather be in our position right now.

Is there such a thing? as 'due one'? If we had failed to win any or all of those 3, would we win this one because we are due it, or would we bottle it because we had form bottling them.
