Chasing or leading in the title race?

[jimharri]

Usually leading, but if you asked me would I swap places with Chelsea right now, no thanks. If we are still in the mix after our next 5 (which we should be given we can afford to lose at least one already) then few have easier run-ins than our last 6 fixtures. Which when push comes to shove we really should be winning so close to the finish line.

It's those bloody 4 immediately before them!

You can't say that points in the bag is better than not. That's too simplistic.
6 points clear ("in the bag") is all well and good.
But it's not that special if the team "chasing" has 9 points (in our case) or more to play for.

I personally like chasing. It's more exciting that it's a close run thing.

And this bullshit about it should be "sewn-up" is simplistic nonsense also.

Leading with the same number of games played.

 

[Bottomless_Sailor]

Extraordinary...the entirety of page 1 wants to chase while the entirety of page 2 wants to lead...

I'm very persuasive.

 

[sam-caddick]

Chasing.

The mentality of the club is not good enough yet to be a leader of the pack.

Hi, just wondering if anybody here has a 1999 division 2 play off final goalkeeper jersey for sale? I'm after the bright orange kappa/brother one thanks!

 

[Cry Me A Weaver]

Won it is the only thing I enjoy. Everything before is stressful whether leading or chasing.

 

[kippaxblue76]

Chasing.

 

[1961_vintage]

Leading, leading, leading. And always leading.

mid table or relegation dog fight for me...it just gets my juices going!!!!!

 

[fishandchips]

It's nice to go into a game knowing that you have a margin for error.

 

[aguero93:20]

Don't give a fuck whether we do it chasing or leading as long as we're top after 38 games.
Suppose for the purpose of this debate it's better to have the points in the bag.

 

[sir baconface]

Obviously it depends on how many points are on the board and how many games to go.

Assuming a good chance of catching up...chasing.

Seems to suit our mentality better.

 

[Champions2012!]

Probably relevant to revive this looking at the current table

 

[Manchester1894]

I believe we'll get even better in a month or two. When we field Hart Zabba, Vin, Ota, Clichy, Sterling Yaya Silva KDB Ferna Aguero for a few games, we'll be unstopable. Roberts could pressure Navas if we're lucky. Nasri with Raheem, Kelechi's job is to pressure Bony.

In our title winning seasons we were better than both united and Liverpool, but somehow both times we ended up feeling it was impossible to win the title, yet both times when we won it it ended up feeling fantastic,
Next time I hope we win it by a bigger margin , but it wouldn't surprise me if we end up having to beat arsenal on our last home game of the season, it's the City way!

Jesus what a last game of the season to have

 

[CrownPointBlue]

6 points clear with an insurmountable goal diff.going into the Arsenal game. Win that and watch Winger and the Arse fans faces. Delicious !!

 

[birchwoodgingerste]

the rags keep winning but they are trash i think it will be between city and the rags i hope we give them a good hiding!

 

[richards30]

I still feel good about us so far this season! 15 points from 18 and with away games at places like palace and Everton won and on paper would have been a tough game with Chelsea won and playing the way we have been we are still in a good place! Disappointed to lose yesterday but we threw everything at west ham and it just didn't come off.
