Thanks. The Utd game was huge. I was very nervous about that one. In the end we won comfortably but only I think because we made a big effort in the 1st half to physically match Utd and in the 2nd we showed a lot of quality.

I am sure liverpool will beat Huddersfield tomorrow so the pressure once again will be on City to respond. I think this is the key game. Win that one and I think Liverpool may struggle at Newcastle to respond.

I don't want it to go to the last game but if it does then so be it. I remember the last day against QPR in 2012. Everyon thought it would be routine but it turned into what looked like a total nightmare of a game. That season there were some amazing twists that nobody expected. This season City and Liverpool just keep winning.

Yes totally agree with you on the Newcastle game but we are not there yet and I m not very optimistic about our chances either.

If it goes to the last game week with brighton still needing something from the game to stay up ,you might have a very difficult fixture everyone is underestimating, Brighton could play the game of their lives to not get relegated as you will play the game of your lives to win the PL, it could be interesting.

Other than that figure case , I think you will win it , just hold your nerves. ( 97 points and still not winning it we be tough for us)
 
Laporte, Kompany, Otta and Walker may play in the back four on Sunday to deal with their physical presence in the box.
 
Burnley are rough ****s, will give us a much tougher game than the rags anyway! On a side note, what’s wrong with cnuts btw lol? Censored for some reason

Hi Guys

First of all Congrats for the Tottenham & utd win, the league is now 90% - 10% in your favour imho, I m even tempted to say 95%.

The Burnley game wont be easy but you will win it in a similar fashion to the palace game.

If we dont drop points and somehow Cardiff and Brighton manage to go into the last game with 1-3 points difference with lets say the latter needing only one point , the Brighton game will be the hardest from citys remaining 3 , god watching that game week 38 will be epic.

Best of luck guys.

Last time it came down to the last game, with the opposition needing something, or other results to go their way, was 2012’s Agueroooooooooooooooo moment!

Let’s hope it doesn’t come to that, but if it does, I’ll take it!

You seem like a decent fella, but for the life of me, I can’t stand Liverpool anymore. I was kinda partial to Shankly as a kid and thought the Keegan-Toshack years were immense, but Klopp and most of the fans today turn my stomach.

I appreciate your levelheaded posts, because neither of us have an easy run in, in paper or reality. The Barca games make it even harder for you, although it feels like that Newcastle game is our only serious chance of gaining points on you.

If we both win this weekend, then Liverpool at most get a draw & City win the NUFC/LCFC games, then we can even lose the last game and still win the League on GD.
 
I wasnt stressed about playing utd, and I'm not stressed about Burnley.
City are a team that need to win, Burnley are a team that are expected to lose and are safe from relegation.
As long as city dont over commit men too early in the game and as long as we dont give them too many free kick situations, I can only see a city win.
Pressure and time, and Burnley will struggle to contain the movement.
3-0 city.

Thanks Marvin :)
 
That Bee Gee mouthed bastard Flopp should buy himself a Worzel Gummudge effergy, the amount of staws he's been clutching !
 
Please start Sane on Sunday!

My team would be:

Ederson
Walker Kompany Otamendi Danilo
B.Silva Dinho Silva
Sterling Aguero Sane

I think Laporte needs a rest and we’d be useful to have the muscle and power of Otamendi in there. If Dinho isn’t fit then Gundogan starts.

This will be a lot tougher than the derby.
They will just be lumping the ball into the box.
I’m hoping we come out of this with a win and injury free.

I am now back to Wednesday's levels of anxiety so thanx for that! Of course your right none of our games are a gimme but win them all we must. This title race is killing me, since the morning of the Spurs game I have felt so sick I haven't been able to eat. My anorexia levels are so high that I can hide behind a lamppost! Another 3 weeks of this and I will be falling through grids!

I think you need to put football into perspective if it is making you unwell. Obviously fantastic if we win the league, but it is only a game at the end of the day. We have had another great season and hopefully it will continue for the years ahead.
 
Otamendi in for me this weekend, the type of game that's made for him.

After the other night I think there's a huge level of confidence and composure around the place - hopefully translates to a comfortable and professional job

They have beaten the current champions at home for the past 6 years crazy.gonna be another nail biter.

At home? As in Turd Moor? Well that's got to be wrong as last season Chelsea beat them 4-0.. and as others have pointed out, this is only their 5th year up in the PL since promotion.
 
We have struggled at Turf moor for the reasons I am nervous about this game: they have a tiny pitch and play big high balls, bypassing the midfield. It causes everyone problems if they don’t get a few goals ahead. This will be harder than the United game. This is the decider I think.
