Not sure that people are suggesting we won’t but comments like it’s done are just factually incorrect. We should do it but it’s not done yet.

Realistically we only need a win and two draws and we are assuming the rags are going to win every game which I doubt.
It will be the biggest cock up of all time if we dont manage that from the set of matched we have got left.
It doesn't take much for some people to flap on here!

Pep denied us a once in a lifetime chance to humiliate the cnuts. He doesn't get what that would have meant to us He can shove his champions league up his hole.
I think it was the players who fucked it up not Pep, We had 20 shots to their 4.
Pep fucked it up against the dippers but if he turns it around on Tuesday it will all look rosey again.

Hopefully we win the league against Swansea just 24 hours after spurs humiliate the rags in the s/f
And they can all crawl back under their stones again
Ooooo yeah that would be a nice weekend

By the time we play Swansea I have little doubt that the lead will be down to 7 points, as the rags have a midweeker vs Bournemouth as well as West Brom at home, and I expect us to get nothing at Spurs. So it boils down to 2 wins (or 1 win and 2 draws) from our last 5 games, all against relegation threatened teams with something to play for. There's no reason we shouldn't do that with something to spare, but a) if we get to half time goalless against Swansea, the crowd's nervousness might get to the players, b) there's no knowing yet just how much the disappointment of the last few days (plus Liverpool and Spurs to come) will prey on the player's minds, and c) there are always unforeseen variables such as injuries, and when it comes to lucky breaks at the moment we are like Dan Ackroyd in Trading Places; homeless, jobless, dressed as Father Christmas in the pouring rain, with a dog peeing up his leg. I thought we were past all this unprofessionalism and associated fretting, but I didn't sleep a wink last night cos of yesterday. Complacency is our enemy
I actually feel more comfortable when you are this miserable so I won't be disturbed if you cannot find any comfort in the fact that over the course of the last seven seasons we have only lost 4 of our last 6 games of the season. If my maths etc are correct, we have taken 100 out of a possible 126 points in the closing stages of those seasons. If we match that average this season, we would bag another 14 points.
The past is not necessarily a guide to the future but Typical City of late have closed seasons out well. The worst two seasons by far in that time were those in which the manager was about to leave.
We lost yesterday but that is despite almost tearing the second best team in the country a new one. The players need to stay calm and concentrated and be positive. Complacency and flakiness need to be banished.
Whatever happens in the UCL, they need to go and get a positive result at Spurs to settle everyone down.

Why will it be 10 pts by the time we play spurs? Have UEFA started awarding 3pts for a win in the knockout stages of the champions league? Take in our goal difference and it's 11 points really.Here is a different perspective......
What was the lead that utd threw away that led to the aguero moment??? And with how many games to go. My memory says 9 pts but i cannt remember how many games that was to go with.....
By the time we play spurs our lead could be 10 pts. Complacency cannot be allowed to set in as its not over.
Now I'm not knocking you here pal but your post is one of two things.
Either you are a major flapper.
Or
A trying to be a wum.
The reaction on here after last night is shocking. Absolutely jawdropping the negativity.
We got 6 games left.
We need 6 points.
You honestly think that we'll have a wobble?
Jesus fuckin wept.

my post says it "could be 10 pts"...not that it will be 10 pts
I'm neither a WUM or flapper....just pointing out that it is stupidly to say its over when mathematically it is far from over....
IF utd win their next two games and we were to lose at Spurs we would be 7 pts ahead of them before we play Swansea at home...
Of course utd have to beat Westbrom - but they should do
We can beat spurs of course and that makes the utd result irrelevant. However we wont have ferna who has been integral to our midfield this season so Pep will have to go either with Ilky (who has ben awful in the last couple of matches or someone like delph or danilo in that role - none ideal. We will also becoming off the back of a very draining champs league match (no matter which way it goes)...its not too far a stretch to see we may struggle vs spurs (who are also the form team in the premiership at present having not lost at all in 2018 - the only team not to btw)
