Will we win the league this season? No

Prior to the weekend, I believed that this weekend would provide the pivotal swing, Arsenal should now get over the line and, if anything, City might be mentally more on the Cup now and drop points at Bournemouth.

I also believe that the Arsenal keeper was fouled, and would expect it to be disallowed. In the context of the season and all that Arsenal have got away with, it makes it seem a fairly preposterous and unusual decision, but it was a foul. As for all the other fouls, it's ridiculous, and when they clamp down on it again next season it will only add fuel to the conspiratorial fires.

I agree with this. It is a foul, as soon as you touch a keeper in a way that prevents them from claiming the ball, it should be ruled as a foul. Raya's arm and shoulder was being pulled, there's two fouls on the keeper. There was wrestling going on amongst all the players in the box, but for me as soon as the keeper is intentionally blocked/touched, its a foul.

PIGMOL have a lot of work to do this summer. Arsenals set piece coach has created a monster and it has spiralled out of control. They have allowed the premier league to become a free for all at corners and it should have been stopped ages ago.
 
Maybe not this season, our team has done very well considering we are undergoing a rebuild.
Next season watch us go and smash the league.
 
yeah whatever !! said:
It's out of our hands that is a fact, but we have 3 games left we need to win them and score as many goals as possible.
Arsenal have 2 games...if they draw one( this is football it's possible) then its goal difference.

This could be our Gillingham moment..
COME ON CITY !!

We're Man City, we fight to the end! Perhaps more fans will believe it if we beat Palace.

Of course it's difficult but all we can do is win our games and see where it goes. If we do that, it goes to the final day, and we all know that that is a pressure-cooker for the leading side, when anything can happen.
 
Having slept on it, sadly no.

Frustratingly we will. ust miss out, like what we did to United once, and Liverpool twice.

I think it’s unlikely we’ll win the PL now and if we don’t we have to be honest about the causes. It’s not our recent form, refereeing or even VAR (which has been a shambles from the word go and every club has either benefitted or suffered from its inconsistency on a weekly basis). We have to go back to a terrible January/early February to see where we lost it: drab home draws with Brighton and managerless Chelsea, a poor performance on defeat at United and throwing a two goal lead away at Spurs who were in terrible form and there for the taking. Then a later home draw with Forest from being two up. We will have lost the title this season because we have not been as clinical in games as we have over pre ious years. Let’s not bother with excuses, let’s be big enough to accept (as seems likely) we didn’t win the league because we haven’t been quite good enough this time round.

Introspection is for later.
 
I actually think people are looking past the Palace game for Arsenal. If we can our next two (Bournemouth being a very tough game) then it all goes to the final day. Mad things have happened at Palace previously and it will be Glasners last home game. I know they have their final a couple of days later, but you just never know.

I know for sure if it was us going their most of our fans would think its a tough game.
 
Probably not! It maybe our turn to lose out seeing as we have had so many last minute results go in our favour over the past decade or so.
However as I said to the bloke sat behind me at the game on Saturday it would be typical City to lose the cup final and win the league!
