I think pre game they would have looked at a point being pragmatic - but obviously would go for the win...tbf they did, they just couldn't score more in the first half - one of those games for them - they will take a point and move on - we have Spurs away as well which is a graveyard for us in the League
You’ve conspicuously not answered the question.

Or is your answer ‘pragmatic’?
 
Of course it has relevance. If you are saying (correctly) that dippers/tarquins are going to drop points based on the fact that they have done so in 9 games then it stands to reason by your logic that we are also going to drop points because we've already done so in 10 games. It's how we buck that trend that will be the winning, or losing of the league
All being said, we couldn't have expected to be in a better position after this weekend. Especially with Liverpool dropping points against a team of mid table, wannabe cunts.
 
I'm confused lads, I thought after the Arsenal match City were done and had blown the title, with maybe an FA Cup as consolation? Now you're going to win it

One match at a time. Someone will blink first. City know what to do and can go on autopilot if they remember the settings but best not think too far ahead and just take it game by game
Someone will blink first.

And Ben White will go down holding his head.

What a shithouse!
 
Ill get some hate but I genuinely think we've been the best team this season (Fewest conceded, best gd).

Indeed but you were better for a large part of last season too and were massive front runners for a long time but shit the bed from top spot.

Can your team hold their nerve this time now you're back on top?
 
No need now. If you consider that the only way it’s realistically possible for us to win the league is if we win all 7 remaining matches, in such a scenario it is actually mathematically impossible for us to finish on the same points as anyone. We are extremely unlikely to win or lose the league on goal difference now. GD matters hugely for Arsenal and Liverpool, but for us it’s now little concern. We either finish on more points than them, or less. Unlikely to be level.
Shit, we're 20 points behind Arse and Dippers!

There's me thinking it was 1 point with 7 games to play!

Anyone thinking Arse are invincible need to check their results around December, they dropped a huge amount of points which allowed us to reign it in after a jittery start to the season.
 
The points haul against the better sides isn’t great but the killer results for me are the Crystal Palace draw at home after they had almost accepted a 2-0 defeat and the two draws against a woeful Chelsea. We are still in it though which will be very worrying for both Arsenal and Liverpool. They will know they can’t afford a slip up !
Good point, the Chelsea results were painful. Hoping we manage to perform a miracle and get 3 points at spurs, if we manage that anything could happen!
 
You know the answer.

Just like we used to fight and get the odd draw against the Rags when we were shit and they were the best.

If anything they'll kick fuck out of 'em.

Klopp seemed a little annoyed today that Everton, United and no doubt countless other teams try harder against them than they do anyone else.

I guess the plus side to that is it ‘means more” when you beat them.
