Don't worry about draws. I'm pretty confident we could draw every game between now and the end of the season and still win the league.

Hope you're right but draw our next two and United or Leicester win theirs its only a 7 and 8 point margin.
Getting a bit too close for my liking.
 
I cant believe people are getting nervous because of a single defeat. The gap was huge before yesterdays game, it is still huge after it. Do people really think because we lost a single game against United, this City side cant win the 3 or 4 games that is likely required?

United have dropped more points in the past 3 games than we have. 8 days ago, we were 10 points in front with 13 games to go and the title race was over then. We have now strengthened our position to 11 points in front with just 10 games to go. The title race is even more in our favour.

I know its ingrained in us blues to be somewhat pessimistic, but come on, there is no way on Gods earth we don't win the title.

Said United fans in 2012 and Newcastle fans in 96. This is a strange season and hopefully Pep will get them going again and play to our strengths I.e. Bernardo and Foden. Win the next two and I think it’s pretty much done and the sooner we can do it the better for the other competitions, you certainly don’t want to be looking over your should in May with hopefully CL semi final coming up and fa cup final. Get it win before the league cup final and we can then really go for it, don’t care if we win it by 1 or 100 then.

A 7 point margin is huge because of the standard of the other teams this year.

United's ppg this season is around 1.93. Ours is 2.43. If they topped ours and got 2.5 ppg from now until the end of the season, they would finish on 79 points, meaning we would need 1.5 ppg to win the league. There's no chance our standards will drop that low and there's no chance they'll raise their game to that level.

The most likely outcome is that the second-placed team will finish in low seventies, whereas we'll finish with mid eighties.

Close! How did you survive seasons..2012/2014 and 2019 lol

Of course it means something.
2 points from 9 does nothing for our morale or our points total.
I survived both seasons well and really enjoyed them but in both we couldn't take our foot off the pedal.
Would you feel comfortable dropping points in our next 2 games.
 
Rags have averaged ~1.9 ppg over the season so far (1.8 over last 5). Let’s be generous and call it 2.5 for the final run in - that would put them on 79pts making us need 15 in 10 games or 14 with superior GD.

yep nothing much change even if united won
10 games to play city have to lose 4 and the rest win them all ? its not going to happen
yesterday city for the first time this season played the fixture list and looked forward to the other games in the tank
we simply rolled over and let united win like it or not city did not want to fight

most on here went for 85 points and it will be more than enough 6 wins gives city 83 and points
if the impossible happens utd win all 10 games they end up with 84 ? like i said united will not win all 10 and city will not need to win 7 or 8

You'd think we were only 3 or 4 points clear reading some of these post, Posters beginning to pannick. Dread to think what it will be like if the Saints snatch a point.

Nobody is beginning to panic. I’ve not seen a single post on Bluemoon that’s panicking about losing out on the title.

People have been saying the words (or similar) “nothing is won until it’s actually won” going back weeks. I’ve said it, posters like @Vienna_70 @tolmie's hairdoo have said it. If we’d won yesterday I’d still be saying it. This didn’t start yesterday evening.

But we lost yesterday so all that’s happened is that more people are saying it, just as a reminder to those who get too giddy too early like a set of daft Scousers. We had posters all last week claiming we were going to give United a hiding because they’re shit, but that didn’t happen.

We’ve had posters on here for weeks saying we’ve won the league. We haven’t won anything yet, and we aren’t winning this league until we get 85 points - as it stands, that will decrease when other teams drop points, but as it stands we need 85 and we’ve got 65.

I have said before....these teams were being chased by other good teams. Look at Uniteds results. Look at who has been getting results against them. They have won 2 of the last 5 and average less than 2 PPG. It is not the same situation.

Bang on mate. I think a few are posting so that they can come back if we win it shouting "hurrah, told you so". Wouldn't see sight or sound of them if the unthinkable happened. It's won when we hit the "points required" target and not before.

Mate you questioned Pep in player the best player in the fucking premier league, a few bad games and he's a fucking fraud? Go to fucking bed.

We lost get fucking over it.

I wouldn't swap KDB for anybody in the fucking world is that what u wanted me to say?

Never ever used the term pep I'd a fraud...love him and he is the best manager out there. But he made a mistake in picking kdb for the derby....he isn't fit and at the moment isnt near his peak whereas silva and foden have both performing very well...lots questioned it before the game, even before the team announcement.

Yes Ken is the best on his day and regularly but he is out of sorts at the moment...it happens to every player...and likewise with managers ....pep isnt infallible and has made mistakes before and will do again.

By your over the top reaction I suggest it is you that needs to get over it
