I am quite relaxed. If we win it amazing - if we don’t fair play Arsenal.

That's how I'm feeling too.

Personally I think we will win it though. I believe we'll win the rest of our games and I think Arsenal will drop points against either Liverpool, Chelsea, Newcastle or Brighton. If they win all four of those, and all of the others except the one against us, then they absolutely deserve the title.
 
Isn't it amazing how 6 weeks ago we were talking about how everyone looked tired and a bit old, and no one was in form, we looked short of numbers and signings not working had cost us.

Now I have no idea how Pep picks a front 5 from Haaland, Alvarez, Foden, Grealish, Gundo, Bernie, KDB and Mahrez and there's almost no wrong answer. I don't care how he picks the back 4.

I really feel that if everyone stays injury free, no one is going to stop us.

Same here. Losing to the scousers or the rags would be insufferable but I don’t properly know any Arsenal fans so it’s not that big a deal.

I’d snap your hand off if you offered me second place and a big shiny European cup. But I don’t know if I would do the same if it was Liverpool/Rags in the running.
 
We have done it before. It is entirely possible that Arsenal lose 4 games in their final 9 games. This may not happen, but they have some potentially tough games to come. Come On City! We can do this.

I think we could beat them convincingly at home and really knock their confidence. We've beaten them 4-1, 5-0 and a dominating 3-1 under Arteta, it's not hard to imagine a similar scoreline.

With our home record, with how up for it the crowd, players and Pep will be, I think we could smash them and really knock them off kilter. Immediately after us they play Chelsea, Newcastle (a), Brighton which is not an easy run.

Things change quickly in football! If you’d been told Arsenal were favourites to win the league this time last year you’d call bullshit all day!

The only negative with our team this season is the lack of consistency defensively. We concede far too many goals which I would blame on the constant injuries/rotation.
 
Keeping Rodri and the Prince fit and firing is central to any successful overtaking of them.
 
We've found some form and look good, everybody knows we're the best team in it when we play well,can we win 8 of our last 10? Course we can,will it be enough? It's a shit league this year and we've been shit for too much of it,but arsenal are shite,but can anyone more shite take points off them? And us? Not favourites but we know what it takes. Up the Blues.

They haven’t been in this situation, that’s the kicker. We still have a great chance.

This “they haven’t been in this situation” thing is a bit of wishful thinking. It didn’t stop us in 2012 or Leicester City. I don’t disagree that we could do it, however they have a clear run of 9 games and I think we will will beat them at the Etihad and win our remaining games; that leaves Anfield as the key. If we pull it off it will be a great title win but if we don’t the gunners deserve it.
