Do you really believe the league is over...?

[Roachy]

Lets just hope we get 4 from this week and then another 4 from the two games vs Stoke and Everton - that's 8 points before the Derby. Takes us 21 ahead of the rags in theory.

Then they get 2 points from Palace and Liverpool - reduces it to 19. They beat Swansea at home before the Derby and I make that 16.

They will then have 7 games left Maximum 21 points - we beat them and the most they can then get is 18. We would be 19 ahead on my strange logic.

So in short 8 points from our next 4 games - they get 5 from the next 3 and we can win it against them on April the 7th.

I think this is what will happen. Even if we draw against them - they would be only able to get 19 and we would be 16 ahead. Would leave us needing one win to be certain after that. Take your pick from Huddersfield, Swansea or Brighton.

Its looking good!

Just need to get these 8 points in the next 4.

There's an awful lot of asumption in there. It could well play out that way, but we know how unpredictable things can be. Whilst I am not in the "fanny wipe" club, I think it may be a bit closer than a few think. I think there's one thing we all agree on, and that's the sooner we seal it the better.

Looking at this the Rags task to overhaul us is pretty much on a par with Arsenal catching the Rags - neither scenario is impossible but neither is very likely.

Oh come on. If City were as far behind as everyone else is then we'd be saying it's all over. Pretty much everyone is aware that it's not technically done yet, but a gap this large means City are nearly there. Nothing raggy about that - every other fan of every other club already thinks it's done and dusted.

Yes, City could collapse abysmally and throw it all away, but it's not very likely. Nothing remotely arrogant about that.

Think it but don't start chanting and singing about it till we've actually won it.

Not even if we're 5-0 up against United? ;-)

 

[Inter Me Nan]

Does any one seriously think we are going to lose 5 or 6 games

Rags.

We'll have to be very careful. You know the poor lambs don't like to see us celebrating.
We might get scenes like that little lad at Wembley last Sunday.

I think it will be tight now that they slashed the gap to 13 points and we failed to pick up any points over the weekend!

What needs to happen for us to get a guard of honor against united.

The fact that the players can’t be bothered to even play a match today is very telling.

It's as over as Frank Boughs presenting career and cocaine habit.
