I think they proved yesterday that they're the real deal. For this season anyway. They're playing with an unreal amount of confidence and almost every time they're predicted to slip up they just don't. I really thought the Christmas fixtures would see their challenge end and they did have a drop off in results and performances over that period - they put in a defensive performance against us at their place and we should've come away with 3 points - but since the turn of the year they've been smashing it again.
That said, there's 13 games still to go and this is where the pressure may really start to tell. Their games against the lowly teams could turn out to be as difficult as those against teams higher up the league. They've also benefitted from the patchy form of ourselves, Chelsea, Arse, and the Rags which has opened things up at the top of the league but If they win it, I won't begrudge them one bit and it will be the most remarkable title win in my lifetime and arguably of all time.
