Will we win the league this season? No

You can write off Burnley but Palace could be a different proposition if City go ahead. Have a look at Palace's fixture list. They'd be fools to rest their players on the final day, otherwise they would go 10 days without a game.

unfortunately, they play arsenal 3 days before the final, no chance they play their starters

Don't mean to piss on your chips, but the scenario is very far fetched considering the cunts haven't had one red or pen go against them this season.

A rather unbelievable stat considering there was potentially about 3 penalty offences in West Ham's disallowed goal alone at the weekend.

we can live in hope :)
 
Although unlikely, if Arsenal draw and we win our next match the pendulum swings our way. As we're currently +1 on goal difference to Arsenal, winning our next game would take us to 'at least' +2 on goal difference. It means Arsenal would have to win their final game by at least a 3 goal margin. A 2 goal winning margin wouldn't be enough for them as although we'd both then be level on points and goal difference, we have a far superior goals scored tally over the season, which is the next metric they look at to decide who wins the title. All speculative and dependant on us winning both our final two matches of course.
 
No, but it's not impossible and I'll take that. Just win at Bournemouth and who knows what can happen on the final day. They have a whole group of players who've never dealt with any sort of final day pressure like this before. Palace away with their fans who'd love to deny them the title isn't the easiest game in the world.

I think they will. They have a week before the Arsenal game. They aren't going to rest their key men for 10 days before a Cup Final. That is too long. I can't guarantee it, but I expect Palace to make life awkward in front of a capacity Palace crowd who will be well up for stopping N.London Arsenal. It all depends on City beating Bournemouth. If that happens, it's set up for City to terrify the Gooners.

Why are people entertaining Burnley getting anything at Arsenal? The most likely way that City win the title is by beating Bournemouth, and scoring early at home to Villa forcing Arsenal to descend into a pit of hell. We were there in 2012 and I think City/Pep have that in mind for the Arsenal. It could be beyond us but I am sure it's what Pep is thinking about. I am not even thinking about Burnley. There job is not to ship more than 4.

Newton wasn't around when there was football. He was however a genius. Then people had a chance of being a genius because they didn't have calculators or google. They were trained to think. We are trained not to question.

Imagine 30 minutes have gone and word comes through at Selhurst Park that City have scored, it will go mental. The demons come out to play on the final day. This requires City to beat Bournemouth first and that will be challenging. Its doing to be difficult to take it the final day, but if we do get there, I think there's a very good chance that City can make life very uncomfortable for Arsenal.

I agree, but I'm not sure Palace can add to their discomfort.

If we do it, it will probably trump the “93:20 Agueroooooooo!” moment. I somehow doubt it will happen, simply because we have a Cup Final and more and tricky games than Arsenal, but whatever happens we have done well this season, given the circumstances.

If we do it, it will be an embarrassing fluke, but funny as fuck!
How on earth have me ended up in this title race?

Spurs, Brighton, Forest, Everton, West Ham have taken 14 points off us this season!

Arsenal just need to beat Burnley & Palace to win the league! Apparently they would take that over the Champions League! The same league that they only needed a point at The Etihad to win!

City will take maximum points now, all Arsenal have to do is match us!

Really hope you're right mate but after that shitshow at West Ham at weekend there's no way they're not winning it

Mate, that shit show (VAR)? isn't the reason we wont win it! VAR had nothing to do with us dropping points at Everton, Spurs, West Ham and Forest after being in front!

VAR won us the league when it ignored Rhodri's handball at Everton!

Correct mate! I would class the Isle of Man Trophy as more of a success than beating Arsenal to the League this season!

If we win it this season, it will be our lowest ever PL points total as Champions! If were not careful City could win another domestic treble this season, while we are all concentrating on the new North Stand and thinking of songs for Cherki!
