Can we still make it???

Whilst it is still mathematically possible, there is hope. Arsenal, Chelsea and Swansea will test them. But we still need to win the rest of ours too. Unlikely, but not over yet. About a fifth of the season left to play!

How brilliant to do it to them 2 seasons on the trot... Come on City!

Mathematically possible? Yes.

Probable? No.

If they fail to get a win from their next 2 away games (Stoke and West Ham) then it's on as they Arsenal and Chelsea still to play which wont be easy as they are fighting for 4th spot

Let it go mate. Even if they drew both (they certainly wont lose either), 8 points clear with 5 games to go and no other derby for us to claw back. You're basically needing them to turn into bottom table candidates for 7 matches. Along with us winning everything with hopefully an FA Cup final to play which will likely throw up a poor prior league performance. We may have to do a portion of this without Silva too!

Paddy Power offering 33/1 City winning the PL......worth a punt!!

Sad to say it, but the odds should be a lot longer than that! However, with Chelsea and Arsenal games to come, and considering what happened last year, you can see why the old Govan pisscan might be having a few chest pains...

80-1 on ladbrokes

 

[NorCalBlue]

80-1 on ladbrokes

That sounds about right.

 

[not my fault!]

Mathematically possible? Yes.

Probable? No.

Yeh this ^ it's possible but not really probable. "If" they lose to Stoke & we win Wednesday then it's dwn to 9 with them to play Arsenal & Chelsea "if" they lose them then it's down to 3 & they'll start to doubt & their fans will starting shitting it. Tbh though to finish second & bring it back to 4-6 points & us win the FA cup would be outstanding.

MUEN scenario that would allow City to retain their crown.

APRIL 14 - Stoke v Man Utd. United have a good record at the Britannia but were held to a draw in the corresponding fixture last year. Against opposition like this, the Stoke fans will finally get behind their team and help them earn a share of the spoils. UNITED 78 PTS. CITY 65.

APRIL 17 - Man City v Wigan, West Ham v Man Utd. Against opponents not as equipped to back up from an FA Cup semi-final as they are, City cruise home. United meanwhile find it difficult to break the Hammers down and are held again, just as they were in the FA Cup earlier this season. UNITED 79 PTS. CITY 68.

APRIL 21/22 - Tottenham v Man City, Man Utd v Aston Villa. Sensing blood, City go for the jugular against a Tottenham side whose form has deserted them. Twenty-four hours after a Blues triumph, United match them at Old Trafford. UNITED 82 PTS. CITY 71.

APRIL 27/28 - Man City v West Ham, Arsenal v Man Utd. City really have the bit between their teeth now and are far too good for the Hammers, who have not been that impressive on the road. With Champions League qualification Arsenal exploit United's growing nerves and win at the Emirates. UNITED 82 PTS. CITY 74.

MAY 4 - Man Utd v Chelsea, Swansea v Man City. Disaster strikes for Ferguson as he is outwitted by old adversary Rafael Benitez at Old Trafford. With City coasting past a Swansea side whose minds have drifted towards holidays, suddenly the battle is on. UNITED 82 PTS. CITY 77.

MAY 8 (TBC) - Man City v West Brom. A game still to be rearranged from FA Cup semi-final weekend goes the way of the favourites. UNITED 82 PTS. CITY 80.

MAY 12 - Man Utd v Swansea, Reading v Man City. The nerves are taking hold now. Both clubs record victories to set up another super Sunday title epic. UNITED 82 POINTS. CITY 80.

MAY 19 - Man City v Norwich, West Brom v Man Utd. City avoid the near catastrophe of last season to cruise past Norwich, racking up a tally that tilts the goal difference in their favour. As news filters through, United are paralysed by fear, fail to get the win they need and lose out by an even more slender margin than last season. UNITED 83 POINTS. CITY 83. (CITY WIN TITLE ON GOAL DIFFERENCE).
