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

People worriedly about stoke away etc.

People have to get into their heads now we’re a different class. We’ve lost once all season in the PL.
 
This season is about putting down a huge marker. Winning the domestic treble should have been part of that and I'm pissed City lost to Wigan, so now that's gone it remains to win the CL and win the premiership in as impressive and dominant a way as possible.
I think that means winning every game till the season's over, beating the rags and Tottenham in style, and putting six or seven past a couple of teams between now and May. So let's not have a close finish, please.
 
Did anyone else think, in our two recent title winning seasons, that it would be nice to seal a title with two or three games left rather than it going to the last nerve shredding game?

Of course, in relative terms it's a bit like winning the final v Arsenal. I've been to every final since 1969 and I've never enjoyed myself and the wonderful football we're playing as in in the last half hour of that game. Had plenty of time to "drink it in", both before the game and after. That said, I don't care too much if we win the league v the rags or not, so long as we beat them. Even if we don't we have won this by a country mile and I'm loving every minute.

For me, the league has been over since the game at Stamford Bridge.

We went into that game at a stage in the season where there were several teams thinking that they could win the title, including Chelsea. At the home of the defending champions, I thought we would get a point and maybe all three in a closely fought game...the reality was completely different.

We not only beat Chelsea, we destroyed them, on their own patch. Controlling a game in a manner that hadn't really been seen before in England, with superior tactics of power, pace, movement, closing down and superb passing. This, in my opinion, was the defining moment when the rest of the league sat up and thought "FUCK". Maybe not supporters and journos but the people that really matter, players and managers - psychologically they were beaten. Professionals at every other club saw that performance and recognised something very special indeed was happening under Pep.

From that moment on teams, were beaten before they went onto the pitch against us with the exception of one match at Anfield (even then we nearly came away with a point).

All in my humble opinion of course.

I was watching that match with a knowledgeable Arsenal fan and he said, "that result is a big, BIIG, statement", which only backed up what I was thinking.
I said et the time that we had played our most difficult league game that day, and who was going to stop us? All the matches we have played since then was just something we had to do to make the inevitable a reality.
We were the best that day, we are the best now, we are the champions.
One final thing, in some games we have been in front by two or three goals at half time or early in the 2nd half, from which point the match has been over and we have just been waiting for the final whistle to confirm it. We are just waiting for the final whistle to be blown on our title win.

Our next 4 games are nightmares. Stoke, Everton and Spurs away with the rags at home in between.

I'm not counting any chickens yet.

Win those next 4 games and the chickens will have come home to roost.
Personally, I will be extremely pleased if we can get 8+ points from them so long as 3 of them are from the Rags

I am counting them chickens.
Our team is fucking awesome and almost everyone is fit for the run in.
We will win our next 3 games at a canter.
The Spurs game might end in a loss as it’s stuck in the middle of two Champions League games, however the remaining 5 games we are red hot favourites to win every single one and we will..
In a game of Top Trumps 100+ points tops the Invincibles all day long ;)

For it to go to GD we'd have had to win that game anyway. So if we'd won it by the minimum score of 1-0 our goal difference would have been 4 less and there's 4 more (than ithe -16 scoreline) which would have given us exactly the same overall GD. Who would have won it then?

I love your unfettered optimism but we were red hot favourites against Wigan, Basel, Crystal Palace and Burnley and look what happened!

It’s done when it’s done and for me becoming Champions is more important than what game that happens in.

ManUre keep winning the games we expect them to lose or drop points so until it’s mathematically ours I remain cautiously optimistic !!

And people have to remember that in football, and in the Premier League especially, tough away games with teams fighting relegation are never easy. If Barca were trucking up on Monday at Stoke, I wouldn't be saying they were guaranteed 3 points either.
 
Nothing is ever guaranteed until it is mathematically impossible to lose but we are in an outstanding position.

A win a Stoke tomorrow and we are virtually there, there are only 2 teams now that can get to 85 points and for the rags if they drop points in 2 of there last 8 games they cold miss out on that.

In addition if we beat Stoke they would need us to lose 7 of our last 8 games.

The reality people are no longer debating if we will win the league but will be win it against the Rags.
