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

[SebastianBlue]

Same people believe that the hotel they stayed in/underpants they wore/something they said to a rag etc was the prime reason we lost to Wigan at Wembley.

I have it on good authority my breakfast that morning was a contributing factor.

Prawns shall never again be part of my morning diet.

 

[tommo74]

You are quite right. That does put our strong situation in some perspective.

Can you tell me which 4 are away? We played scum away and chavs away, so only the arse and the spuds are away

 

[purplenose]

I thought United will drop points against Chelsea but they didn't.

Lets hope they will drop points soon.

They lost at Newcastle last week.

we should win all them above, so only one other win needed from rags/spurs/chelsea/arse/everton if the other teams won alll their games, which they cannot as they play each other.

would be a major colapse to lose it now.

and if we won it by 1 point I would be fine with that.

You missed Stoke out, so wouldn't have to beat any of the top teams

 

[TravisBickle]

FFS we are 13 points clear with a game in hand.

Dippers and rags have to play each other and we have the rags at home.

In our last 35 premiership games we have lost just once.

Mathematically we need 17 points from 11 games that is based on rags winning every game.

Dippers are out of the FA Cup have already qualified for quarters of Chumps League and in my view will finish second, the most points they can accrue is 87 points.

I believe 5 wins will be enough with daylight, we have 11 games to play.

So unless something catastrophic happens I don't see what all the flapping is about.

As you were.

I agree mate, it’s over.
A lot of bed wetters on here.

 

[The blue phantom]

How the hell are posters still flapping, Convincing themselves we could lose at least 5 of our remaining fixtures while the rags or Dippers win all theirs.

Unbelievable.

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

Even though we’ve lost 1 and drawn 1 of our last five games only two teams have actually made up any points on us. Spurs have gone from 18 points behind to 17 and Swansea have gone from 46 behind to 45. I think we’ll probably be alright!

 

[Saddleworth2]

The important point I think is that Pep will not think it is over until it is mathematically won. The squad will be well prepared for every game, just like the 27 we have already played winning 23 of them. I really don't expect a dip. We are only in 2 competitions now, not 4. Our focus will be very sharp, our injuries are manageable. We have absolutely no reason to be anything but supremely confident in our coaching team and squad. Is it over, no and yes. No, until you cross the line its not over. Yes, because we are the equivalent of a lap ahead coming into the last lap of a 10,000 metre race.

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

The irony is that those who are so confident will be the self same people that will go into a panic if the gap reduces to say 7 points with the rags and spurs (away) which is a different proposition.

That statement offends logic. Are you actually suggesting that those currently panicking at a 16 point point gap, will be those to keep their heads calm if it reduces to 7?

 

[Manchester1894]

After the weekend we now have a fire-cracker at the Emirates. Defeat in front of their own fans will surely start major protests and calls for the managers head like never before.

And United did well to beat Chelsea with that standard of football but it's left Chelsea in a pickle. They face us 3 days after we play Arsenal knowing a loss might ultimately rule them out of the top 4. If they can win, with Utd v Liverpool the following week, they may get within 3 pts of Liverpool or United again! Loving the 2nd-5th place race.

 

[davymcfc]

Win at emirates and I can’t see any other outcome

 

[urban genie]

oh aye monday nignt threw me

 

[Sir Joe Aguero]

I'm still nervous. I know I have no reason to be, with a 13 point gap, GD and a game in hand. Maybe it's the typical City in me.

Arsenal, Chelsea, Everton, United, Tottenham are all tricky fixtures.

Stoke, Brighton, Swansea, West Ham, Huddersfield & Southampton are all easy and winnable on paper/form, but they're all fighting for survival.

Liverpool & Arsenal are at Old Trafford. Hopefully they pull something out the bag, but being the bottlers we know they are, this isn't likely. Can guarantee Arsenal put in their best performance of the season this Thursday, even though it means nothing to them in terms of getting into CL.

I know it's in our hands, and we should be beating these teams, but I think it's going to be a lot closer than we think. Guess I'm just pessimistic.

 

[bellsouth]

There's more than a quarter of the season still to go, so its definitely not over and the coach and players will know this better than anyone. But any lingering doubts can be put to bed if we win the next 2 fixtures as they represent the last good chances for teams to take points off us before it becomes mathematically impossible. Win Thursday and Sunday and we can book the bus

Exactly my feelings as well. Even 4 points from Thursday and Sunday and i think its all done. Big two games coming up this week, Arsenal is always a place we seem to struggle so even though we should beat them, id take a point. Then 3 points on Sunday and i will feel its pretty much done.

 

[Grassland Blue]

We have already played our toughest away league game at the Chavs and our bogey away team.
I can't honestly see us losing more than 2 games now.
10 draws and beat the rags and it's over.
The soprano is joining Pep for dinner this evening!

 

[kupest]

Its the games against the top 5 that will be the tricky ones. Win the majority of them and its ours.
