Shoot me but no. Unless Van Persie gets injured for a significant period of time.

They will win it for 2 reasons. 1) RVP - he has been the difference. They have been alot more clinical than us. 2) Luck- Again they have had the luck on thier side. Most of our games we dominate yet draw or win but with thiers, the opposition they play tend to have as many goal attempts as them but they sneak it, usually by being more clinical.
Our style of play is shit this season. Possession wins no games. Same as first touches wins no games. Goals win games.
We make Swansea look like the Barcelona of PL.

No, the performances arent good enough and we are not showing enough fight.
Seems to be too many passengers in the side (Looking at Nasri mainly)

You must always believe we can win it especially with so many games to go. Whether we will or not I'm not sure.
Unfortunately the selling of Mario (despite being inevitable) at this stage of the season has reduced Mancini's options in attack and I don't think we will get a replacement before the window shuts. Mancini must be furious about the timing of this sale and perhaps this translated to such an underpar performance by the team last night.

We still have a chance if we can keep in touch with United and win at Old Trafford. No one expected them to bottle it last year and they have many players (Jones, Smalling, De Gea, Valencia, Hernandez etc) who have never been in a winning team on a title run-in. We have to win 11 out of 14 and draw the rest to have any chance...but we are capable of it. We have to go for the FA Cup all guns blazing. Second place and a Cup win would still be success in my book. Remember we have only just started the journey. Our under 14 side has just walked the league at their level. The pressure is all on the rags and will be for years to come.

I think we'll need to win 12 out of our remaining 14 games to realistically stand a chance. Big ask.

As soon as you mention Kolarov in a football debate you lose all credencenashark said:Not with Mancini in charge.
We have by far and away the best squad in the league so we're not going to implode, whoever the manager might be, so I expect us to push United all the way. But with United being as lucky as they have been this year, it looks like we''ll have to be close to our best to win the league unless they completely capitulate. And unfortunately, we have a manager who doesn't know anything close to what it takes to get the best from our team.
It seems to me he's still got beef with a lot of people at the club as well. The people above him tell him we don't need any more signings - this is not football manager, but the luckiest manager in the world moans some more and gets tens of millions to spend in the transfer window, and we go three steps backwards. He says Balotelli will be world class, turns out the guy was one of the worst players, in talent and in attitude, to wear the shirt - 'who would have saw that coming?'. He says Tevez won't play again, the people above him say don't be silly - we win the league. As a result, Mancini keeps bringing him off for defensive players when we need goals, at the expense of the success of the club, to prove a point. The only point he's proving though is that he's an incompetent manager governed by emotion rather than what's best for City.
I think to win the league, we need to sack the manager, stop playing Yaya out of position when he comes back, and play Kolarov when we're going to spend 60% of the play on the ball, and have no need for Clichy's superior defensive abilities. Kolarov's one of the best crossers of the ball in the world, and last night, we must have wasted about 20 opportunities to trouble QPR by playing Clichy who, make no mistake, has been a great signing for us, but he is nowhere near as good as Kolarov as an attacking threat.
When you've got Yaya as an attacking midfielder, he'll be one of the targets in the box for Kolarov to hit. Look how many goals United score from crosses.
