Will we win the league this season? No

What. Shit day it could be. Losing the title to Arsenal, Bernardo going, Stones, going, nd if the rumours are to be believed, Pep going as well. :-(

Winning the FA Cup final would be the beautiful sending off they deserve. The league is just a step too far...but what a rollercoaster season it's been..... if we beat Chelsea

It was soft but its a foul. If we don't win the league it's on us. If we win all our games we finish on 83 points how can we expect to win the league with that. We benefited from one with Rodri at Everton a few years ago it is what it is. If you would have offered me 2nd and two cups at the start of the season I would have took it.

Reading too much of red cartel media. That one was correctly denied for an offside against Richarlison prior to the Rodri incident

Ironically in regards to pep deciding to stay not winning the league is helpfully to us.
 
Arsenal have got very lucky with VAR this season ... it's made the difference between them throwing away yet another title shot (& forever being viewed as the great bottlers) ... and actually being Champions & heroes (unless there's still a final, rather unlikely, twist ?)

In which we'd be 1 point ahead having played a game more, reliant on Burnley drawing or beating Arsenal.

A possible scenario is a final day where Arsenal are on 82 points and we are on 80 points.

We will be at home, and if we score first, then Arsenal can struggle at Palace. It's unlikely, but it's not a case of Surrender.
 
If we don’t end up winning the league, please let’s not act like Liverpool fans and blame it on refereeing decisions. Some Liverpool fans still believe they didn’t win the title in 21/22 because of the Rodri handball against Everton in fucking February. The fact is they lost the league because they dropped points against teams like Spurs in the run-in, similar to us this season.

He'd be going if we had pulled the league off
1 or 2 cups ( fa cup ) won't appease him im my humble opinion.
He''ll go when we put them anti footy shysters back in their place next season IMHO
 
Id of had us as slight favourites if we'd if beaten Everton ffs, only ourselves to blame this season.

We don’t drop all those points in January and we’re ahead at this point. Sure the officiating has been crap, but those could mean nothing in the end if we could actually see those games out.

I stupidly threw the towel in after we got beat by Arsenal in 2012 and were 8 points behind with 6 to play. I've never done it since and I'm not starting now either and neither should anyone cos Pep and our players won't.

Plus Burnley scored 2 against a champions league team yesterday. Not impossible they do that after a good rest next Monday.

Here's another scenario; City win the next three games, Arsenal lose to Burnley and Palace 3-0.

It too is possible, but is it likely?

Focus should be on the FA Cup. I don't want City blowing the Cup for an out of reach final title push. It was done with the 3-3 at Everton.
 
Regardless of whatever questionable decision has occurred we shouldn't be leaving it for the arsenal or the referees to decide the title; we had it in our hands and we lost it. Plain and simple. We drew and lost against teams we should have won. There is really no excuse for us, in fact I am surprised we even still have a title race.

The season hasn't been a failure though we still have league cup and are in the FA cup final. We are extremely lucky that there is even a hint of a title race despite all our mistakes. We have no excuses given how poor we've been lets not whine about it please and focus on improving next season. Fair play to Arsenal.

If City beat Palace on Wednesday, the gap will be 2 points, and City fans will be dragged back into it again.
