I doubt we have the ability to romp away with the title.
Of course we do.
United and Chelsea have romped to the title with far worse squads than ours.
If we don't win the league before the last day of the season then Pellers needs to go.

Injuries, poor performances from the players and poor decisions from the match officials always pegs us back. Our two title wins suggests we always leave it to the last minute and we have to rely on our title rivals to slip up.

Exactly and this is the season which has to be the exception.
We don't have a new manager to the league, we have added over £100 million in talent which includes some of the best players/ young players in their positions in the world, our core group of players are approaching their peak. Also, we are much stronger than all of our rivals.
How on earth anyone can expect us to challenge the likes of Bayern and Barca when we only just scrape past the likes of United and Chelsea is beyond me.

United have Everton away and arsenal away next two.
They have played Newcastle, Sunderland, Spurs at home, Swansea, Saints, villa and Liverpool at home. I would expect a good return from that lot.
We have been to Spurs, Everton, west brom and played Chelsea. 4 tough games there.
Don't get me wrong we have to take them very seriously but I firmly believe we will be top after 9 games.

Things like the offside decisions Pellegrini cannot control.

Away defeats will happen but losing at home to West Ham shouldn't. It's that defeat that could cost us, not this one.
