I think you might be airing on being overly cautious there.Not sure Monday night SHOULD be a party, even if they did lose against Newcastle. Until it is mathematically impossible for them to win it, it SHOULD be nose to the grindstone.
If they lose and City win, putting us 4 pts clear with 1 game to go, then AFTER THE GAME, it definitely SHOULD be Party Time! ;-)
First things first, though!
A few people came to what they thought was a party against QPR in 2012, and look how that turned out for 93:19!!!
IMHO, since the Burnley game, far too many people have acted like it’s done and dusted, because they saw that game as the most dangerous one. Well, Leicester just battered Arsenal 3-0, with Vardy getting 2. And, not like we have ever had a problem beating them, is it?!
Too many chickens being counted for my liking, though not necessarily you MSB, because there is still the possibility for a twist and a turn!!
FWIW, even if they DRAW and we win, that puts us 3 pts clear with better GD, so that means we have to leave ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING on the pitch on Monday night in an effort to win, because nothing else matters until that is accomplished.
Beyond that, unless Cardiff win this weekend, they’re down and Brighton are safe, so they will be ecstatic for that last game!
Fingers and toes crossed for ALL the results to go our way, but when has that ever happened????
Arsenal were down to ten men and their away form is currently on par with the rags goalkeeper's abilities.
I think there is a huge difference between being over confident, even cocky compared to be being quietly confident.
I fully understand your concerns especially against QPR and the potential cock-up. However, what we have with this current team is a completely different animal.
The other major difference is Pep and his ability to keep the players grounded, poised and ready to pounce.
In his owns words he's ready for his players to accelerate towards the end of the season.
It really does feel as though we've got extra gears to access and he's been saving it for a sprint finish.
