I still think we will win the league

[wattle]

Right. Leicester won't win the league. Why? They just won't. No logic. They just won't. Can anyone realistically imagine wez Morgan lifting the trophy. No you can't. They just won't. Full stop. Spurs? No. Same reason. Arsenal? Proper bottling it. I never thought I'd say I'd be slightly embarrassed by winning the league but it's gunna happen. 75 points will win it. Loose at Chelsea, draw somewhere else, win the rest, champions. Worst prem league ever and we're gunna win it. So what. 3 years of domination coming :-)

I must admit, the one thing that's causing concern is if we retain a slim chance of winning it, then the same must be said for the Raggies

Everyone is making me wish this season was over and done with.

Not beyond the realms of possibility

Let me guess. I'm a rag?

Don't think I've ever called anyone that mate. Just saying you aren't expecting a late charge from them so why from us? Plus it isn't just a late charge we need we need 3 other teams to blow up.

Where id I say I wasn't expecting it? I just said its not beyond the realms of possibility.
I can only imagine what you were like when we were 8 points behind in 2012.

I think you're underestimating how many points are left, and overestimating the capabilities of Leicester and Spurs.

Finally, some optimism. You will be accused of hsppy-clappiness , though, and roundly denounced for not giving up hope.

We had Mancini and a better squad I thought we would win it then a. Because we were the best team and b. Played the best football. Our front four were frightening! We beat Utd to go past them. I was at st james park when we ended their hopes of top four. We were a good team then mate. You got to the ground and never really expected to lose. That's long gone. Look at our record against the better teams this year. It's woeful and we still have Utd Chelsea Arsenal and Stoke to play. Our record against the better teams this year does not bode well for those games. Then remember we played Leicester and Tottenham recently. We lost both games whereas in 2012 when we needed to beat Utd we did. You keep implying there's an issue with my support. There isn't. There is an issue with your grasp of our situation this year. I'm sorry but you hope we will win it there is no evidence to suggest we will.

Why were we 8 points behind with 6 games to go if we were that good then. That was arguably a worse situation than we are in now. You can never say never in football. There is no joy left in football if you make a judgement on a team, conclude that it's crap and take your ball home for the rest of the season to wait for the management change. What makes the game what it is is the hope and the knowledge that things can turn round at any moment. Who thought we would be in this situation when at the beginning of the season we went 5 games without defeat and people on here were thinking we were going to be champions by February. Who thought we were going to win the league in 2012 as we went into injury time in the final game needing to win, 1 goal behind. How many heard the roar of Aguero's goal from outside the stadium because they had already made the judgement that we could never win it from that position, and left. Teams can take unexpected wins and defeats and turn the race on it's head. I and many like me harbour that hope backed by recent events, and until it becomes mathematically impossible we continue to watch, hope and expect things will turn round. If they do great, it's been a great season. If they don't then we have had the enjoyment of following our team to wherever it has taken us and it's still been a great season and we look to improve in the next season.
What the flappers are essentially doing is sucking the life out of the very thing that makes football and all sport so enjoyable to watch and follow i.e the hope of prevailing against overwhelming odds and succeeding in adversity without which, watching and following sport would be boring as fuck.
The flappers may have metaphorically left the stadium with 15 minutes to go "to avoid the traffic". Please excuse us if we refuse to leave until the final whistle has blown.
