hell of a lot of last minute winners for them, looks a mix of luck and never say day attitude. I do think they’re making things difficult for themselves in what is an easier run of games. They’ll be tested in April!

If it was us we’d call it champions elect mentality. Let’s call it what it is and give them their fair dues - right now they are the only team playing like champions.

It’s probably the wrong way of looking at things but whilst I (obviously) want City to win the league I dont feel it as keenly previous seasons.

Reason is partly we’ve won the league sooften lately (sounds a bit complacent). Secondly we are still in FA Cup and Champs league. Of less importance it Is Arsenal not the 2 other clubs in red who are our challengers.

But I think the main thing is that I see our big goal is beating the cartel in this legal witch hunt. Given a choice between winning the legal action and this years title race I know what I would go for.

But such talk is not really for this thread and in view of the fact that this could drag on for months a bit stupid of me

Let’s win the league City.

Just think of this… only four English clubs have won the league title three seasons in a row in 136 years of league history: Huddersfield, Arsenal, Liverpool and United(x2).

That’s a smaller group of clubs (four) and a smaller number of occasions (five) than the amount of English clubs who have won the European Cup/Champions League (five clubs and fourteen occasions).

A League title win this season won’t just be another league title win, it will be a historic league title win.
 
If that 97th goal doesnt go in , its a comlpletely different scenario , the Goons cracking up under pressure blah,blah,blah , and now because they scab a winner with virtually last kick of the game they are a relentless winning machine.
The middle ground is , they are a young talented team with a young talented manager who going to fall short this year because we are chasing them , and we are relentless ask the Dippers & Rags.

It's absolutely fucking ridiculous then, when have we ever had that much injury time added, unless there has been a bad injury. So why was that much time added on?

Bournemouth were time wasting all game. I thought six minutes was fair.

I also thought that the extra added on top of that was fair because a Bournemouth player just sat on his arse for about a minute pretending to be injured after the board went up.

The extra minute was fair I thought. I’ll take your word for the rest as didn’t see all of it. Doesn’t surprise me. This tactical time wasting is becoming a real pain in the arse. Newcastle took a nice breather around the 28 mins mark for a nothing injury. Annoying.
 
We need to win every game between now and the end of the season, including beating them. We've done it before, although not sure this current team is good enough to do it. That said, I think we've been poor by our standards for most of the season and we're still very much in it, so if we can start to click, who knows.

If we do win all those games and Arsenal still win it, well done to them, they'll have earned it. What we can't do is hand it to them with sloppy performances, allowing them to win it with 85 points

But you just know that if it was us playing that same match, we would've got nothing near that added time

Agreed, our 2019 team could this, not sure this team can. Too many players not at the races this season. Arsenal have that belief about them. That find a way to win every game!
 
Old crackhead saying if they win the next 3 it’s Arsenals title when they have to go to dipperville, Newcastle and us. What a complete tosser!
 
Keep calm blues. Loadsa time yet till we play them. Lots of twists and turns till the end. 36 points to play for. The treble is still on. Don't be blaming ref's, added time or conspiracy theories. It's a waste of energy. We have 1 huge advantage. We have done it 6 times since 2012. Hold onto your hats & enjoy the ride. Keep the faith, up the blues.
