Not sure I believe we'll win it this season but we've got to be extremely happy with how things are going. I still think they will win it but 2nd is certainly up for grabs!

For me, beating Spurs and Everton are the benchmarks, 2 teams we struggled against last season, and havent done much better against this season so far. If we beat them both in second half of season, I'll believe.

If ever a player could put a team firmly on the front foot (and opposition on the back foot) it is Dzeko.
3 points against Arsenal will go a long way to convincing some doubters I think.

I think some Blues will still be doubting it when we have won it as well ;-)

I have always believed. That said, with Arsenal and United with games in hand we are not joint top.

Of course we have a bloody good chance of winning it, the fact that the others will prioritize the Chumps will be in our favour when we get to the nitty gritty - we are not overly bothered in the Europa, league is our priority.
Finishing top3 is what matters, forget fourth - we certainly don't want to have to risk a qualifier.
I am confident now of making top3, if we can get on a run of wins before we face the scum then that game will go a long way to deciding the destination of the trophy.

I honestly think we will miss out this season but could win it next season. I think, as much as it pains me to say, the rags will win it this season. Their two games in hand on us is what I find to be the fatal blow right now to our title chances mixed with their consistency this season where they get 1pt out of every game at least. I also can't see them slipping up at Blackpool away, as Blackpool like us are better away than at home.
I do think we can take second though. It would be great if we could, or even third, to avoid the banana skin qualification round of the Champions League where Spurs almost slipped this season and Everton did some years back.

If the OP had his own personal Cheerleader in this "Crusade" of his I would be it. I have believed all along and I have Private Messages sent to F Bloke and Ricster that would confirm this.
Not one of our rivals are playing as well as we are right now and I think we look like we are getting stronger with each passing Game. We have alongside Arsenal the strongest squad - but would you swap the "Spine" of their Side for ours?; Chelsea appear to be bereft of direction right now; and United have had a lot of good fortune so far -; I used the term two Seasons worth of luck in a post yesterday. If other teams can see that United are not really all that quite soonish, they will drop points on a regular basis.
I am looking forward to the Away Matches against the "Sky" sides where the pressure will be on them -; I will fancy three points on each occasion. The Games I am worried about are the Stoke at Home the only side left to come to Eastlands who could pull off the "Parking Bus" tactic; and off course away at Goodison against the "Sockrobbers". I cant see any other potential Banana skins.
We have conceded less than anyone except Chelsea who had a very easy start. We now play with the Tempo that was missing early Season,
our strength in depth players such as Lescott have stepped up to the Plate, we are bringing in the hottest striker in Europe right now, With Mancini in charge the Players will not show any fear.
This could well be our year. In fact I think we are now that good it is ours to throw away and not United's.
