I still think we will win the league

[manimanc]

Race might be over by then who knows

I still think our last home game against the arse will mean something. Norwich away, West Brom at home and hunting down top spot.....sound familiar? ?

United (A), Everton (H), and Chelsea (A) in the last three games might change that assessment.

Leicester are top for a reason. That reason being they are better than the rags, Everton and Chelsea. Last month they played Liverpool, City and Arsenal back to back and everyone said this is where they'll drop away. Well they smashed Liverpool, smashed City and only narrowly lost 2-1 to Arsenal. Really don't think they'll be worried about playing rags, Everton and Chelsea.

There's no law. But if we don't take the points it means they have them and we don't in the fight for a top four place. Our dreadful performances against Leicester and Spurs being a case in point.

If we win the league then we will have earned it. At the moment we show nothing like the effort and desire needed to earn success. The way we have rolled over against top teams (and Stoke) has been little short of disgraceful. I'm certainly sick of us making Liverpool look like the 1970 Brazilians in the league.

If we don't start fighting away from home and against the top teams we are not going to finish in the top four.

Leicester battered us but spurs didn't (clattenberg and the linesman on the east stand side did)

Those last 5 games when you can win it are the hardest 5 of the season whoever the opposition is, If Leicester win the trophy, well done they'll deserve it And be the best team. If we win it by putting a run together for the last quarter of the season then we will also deserve it.

It's a mental challenge from now on.

Yep and so far they are passing all the tests

But it gets harder from now, ask Brendan and Alex.

I think having those 3 fixtures last work in their favour

I think Leicester will fade. I haven't seen them play with the quality of Spurs or Arsenal, rather I see a very hard-working team with the outstanding Mahrez and Vardy.

Not convinced City can get back in it because we don't seem able to raise the physical side of our game to the levels required in big matches. Losing Delph has been a blow, although I don't think Pellegrini would have played him much even if fit.

If you go back to previous title winning seasons we had De Jong or Toure. This is the area we are struggling in. We have quality like Nasri, Silva and De Bruyne but we need power. Imbula would have been perfect.

Watching the MOTD highlights of the North London derby I thought either of those teams play like that against us and they'd blow us away. Notable that our best perofrmances have been in games at Seville and Kiev where the opponents didn't play that way.

Disagree Marv. Their defence record is outstanding.
