No thanks, I’ve never bet against city or for United in my life and won’t be starting now.
But you’re so sure? You’re buying money and let’s face it, what you do won’t change an outcome. If it did then we would not spend £300m a year on salaries for the best footballers, we would be paying for a small army of city fans betting on United instead.

I do, it eases the pain and lessens the rage if I win some cash. Can’t make up for it at all, but if we win nothing this season I win thousands so at least I won’t smash things up.
 
For those that think City won’t win the league, Skybet are offering 50/1 on the scum to win it . £20 wins you £1000 for those that take it up and it wins.
 
Good job we are 8 points ahead then.

Not sure about anyone else but I’m entirely sanguine, smoking a cigarette on the balcony and enjoying a glass of red. As I’ve said before, those panicking will end up seeing the same results and outcome that I see at the end of the season, but I’m mighty sure I’ll enjoy the ride in more than them.

If flapping makes people feel better and is their way of coping then have at it. I wouldn’t swap positions with United for all the tea in China though.
me too

i'd never swap positions thats a given obviously

but its starting to get slighlty worrying now

weds v villa will tell us what we need to know
 
Here's an updated version of my post on P303

Using the form guide:
In our last 5 matches we've picked up 9
In Utd last 5 matches, they've picked up 15 points.

In the whole of the season our worst run of form was 8 points over 5 games. (That projection was be 9.6 points from our remaining games)
United's best run over the season was 15 points over 5 games (Projects 18.0). So Pep has to manage form because we are with the greatest of respects up against an irratic side that have lost as many times as us now.

Order of fixtures is below.

21-04-21 Aston VillavsManchester City
25-04-21 LeedsvsManchester United
(We have Carabao 25th April)

(We have PSG 28th April)
(United have Roma 29th)

01-05-21 Crystal PalacevsManchester City
01-05-21 Manchester UnitedvsLiverpool

(We have PSG Tuesday 4th May)
(United have Roma away 6th May)

08-05-21 Aston VillavsManchester United
08-05-21 Manchester CityvsChelsea

11-05-21 Manchester UnitedvsLeicester
12-05-21 Newcastle UnitedvsManchester City

15-05-21 Manchester UnitedvsFulham
15-05-21 BrightonvsManchester City

23-05-21 Wolverhampton WanderersvsManchester United
23-05-21 Manchester CityvsEverton

Villa and Spurs are two games that if we win, can springboard a strong finish IMO. Lose to Villa, and United beat Leeds, we're down to 5 points. For me, that puts the heat on us as we're one result away from having a 2 point lead with PSG A/Palace A/PSG H Chelsea H, when United will have Roma H, Liverpool H, Roma A, Villa A. The key to this race, is not letting the points gap close.

Chelsea and Liverpool will be key deciders in this. My hope is that Liverpool having no cups are going to put real stress on them. Fortunes fall in our favour this time round with the Chelsea fixture as they are at our ground with a day less recovery. It's one game at a time and keeping the lead at 8 points will be good for us imo. I don't think any of us really expect to extend that lead.

All true but I won’t be betting on “them” winning because I could never want them to win. Your points are all valid though. And logically we should win whatever they do but football isn’t always logical.

Sure isnt logical no doubt,
Pass the Brandy I'm going to need it!
 
The gap is the same as it was in 2011 at this point but i trust city to come through, would be happy with the league title and the cup, anything in CL would be a bonus.

Need a strong performance with best available 11 in the next game, feck rotation
Sky made the same point about the gap now..... but does anybody remember the word "only" being used in 2012?
 
For those that think City won’t win the league, Skybet are offering 50/1 on the scum to win it . £20 wins you £1000 for those that take it up and it wins.
Surely it is worth £20.00 just as a bit of an insurance policy.

Sure not winning the League would be sickenning.

But That £1,000 would finance the 7 day bender needed to get over the biggest Bottle Job since that Rags implosion.

Sort of helps.........................i feel dirty..............shame............shame...........shame :-)
 
OK I'm flapping
This is panning out a bit like 2011 12
Only difference is we don't play them.
Fortunately bar Chelsea the other teams won't have anything to play for
How on earth has it gone from 17 to 8?
Have they always had games in hand?
been saying it for ages.....they had two games in hand when people were harping on about it being a 14 pt lead.....them beating us and winning the two games in hand means its now where it is (along with our loss to Leeds)

This will go further as I think we will drop more points..Chelsea, Villa could both tke points off us for starters.....and sanyone remember Palace doing Liverpool over when we were in a race with them? well we have to go there as well......no easy games and the pressure is on....combine that with a cup final, Semi final of CL, squad rotation and underperforming players....we have a race on our hands to the finish.....One which we are in charge of but could easily lose control of with any more performances like the ones against Leeds and Chelsea as we were abject in both

On the flip side they have Liverpool and leicester - tough games but they are chasing us so they will be hugely motivated and both those teams are underperforming at present
 
Strangely Betfair odds on United to win it are higher than after them beating Spurs last week.

We’re currently 1.02 which equates to a 99% chance of winning it.

Make anyone feel better?...

Liverpool rarely win at the swamp

fuck that

id rather give it to my local trussell trust food bank
 
Calling it now and it’ll be such irony given the past two seasons, we beat Villa Wednesday and it goes back to 11,they then draw with Leeds on the weekend and it’s 10 with 15 to play for, we beat Palace and it’s up to 13 they then lose to Liverpool the day after and it stays on 13 with 12 to play for, Liverpool win us the league
 
yup butim hoping they turn ina. performance.....even a draw would be good.........

Utsd also play leeds which i forgot in my OP....not an easy game either
Did you see the rags Leeds game a few months ago?
