True and to that extent I was being deliberately diplomatic with the truth. But not withstanding that's a hell of a run of results to not win the league. If indeed they don't, because has others have rightly pointed out it's not decided yet.

It works the other way around too. If we weren't to win it, look at the run of form we would have had and miss out.
 
Just one more win.
Bring on Sunday. This team, this manager and this club are absolutely amazing.
To do the treble last season and to go again and put themselves in control of their own destiny after spending most of it 2nd or 3rd shows character, desire and that winning mentality.

I said a few weeks ago this team was smelling blood and that they was tuning into the task ahead.

Bloody brilliant.

We are unbeaten in 34 games in all competitions. We are unbeaten in Europe for 2 years now (penalty shootouts aside) and we have won 18 from the last 22 league games. Even the 18/19 team wasn't on such a run.

It's funny as I'm simultaneously holding both of these positions in my head at once: I don't think this and last year's side play as exciting or pretty football as the centurions and domestic treble sides BUT I think they're a touch more stubborn and hard to beat across all competitions. Our highs aren't as high but our lows aren't as low either. And that people play down the quality of our football when in any other era a potential 91 point finish, unbeaten since November would be spoken about as one of the all time great teams.

Little reminder to those waffling about boring dominance:

Trafford Redsoxx won the PL 13 times in 21 seasons. We surely have the same right before anyone starts to moan, no?

As we - to this minute - have already won 7 PL titles in 12 seasons, we still would have to win 6 more til May 2032 to be on par with the rags. That's 6 out of 9 to come, and Sunday should be the first of those.

Just to give the groaning PL fans an idea what could happen before anything new appears in history.

And the product didn't suffer back then nor now. Aren't we just witnessing a cracking title race?

How many of those 13 PL wins in 21 seasons were settled on the last day or had a proper title race ?

I genuinely thought that Son moment was us getting a painful one during a tight run-in to make up for Aguero, Vinny don't shoot, and Gundo making the scousers cry. We have lived a charmed fucking life over the years.

If we led a charmed life this season we wouldn't have pissed away so many points from winning positions and we'd have sewn up the title two or three weeks ago.

We've also won a few games having been behind, so swings and roundabouts really.

We've had a great season for me, regardless of the final outcome on Sunday.

It's 36 won 29 drawn 7 since losing to villa
 
What title race?

It’s another blue soulless procession.

It’s great. Get in there blues.

Another special day awaits.

Fully deserved, persecuted by one and all daily. This title win, unexpected but totally deserved again.

History is now and it’s blue.

All I was hoping for after the takeover was to get a bit of respect back as a club and maybe challenge for the odd cup and top 4. Instead we are witnessing greatness at an unprecedented level.

Last season, we were incredible at home: 4:0 Real, 3:0 Bayern, 4:1 Arsenal, 4:1 Liverpool, 6:3 United. Some of those performances were among the best under Pep.

This season is special in that it's very difficult to go on such a run after winning a treble in the previous season. We've had to deal with fatigue and injuries. Yet we are unbeaten in 34 games which is close to the record in England (all competitions).

Piers Morgan (anagram of I Sperm Organ) on TalkSport, rooting for a West Ham win on Sunday. There is very little mention of the possibility of Everton getting something out of Arsenal.

To be fair to him though, he has praised City as being the second best team ever (after The Invincibles).

I hope dyche and his players are watching and reading all the comments that arsenal have already beaten Everton
