Heck mate that a bit harsh…. Those people from the support staff thoroughly deserve their moment…. They are critical to everything we achieve. I for one would want to applaud and thank them.

Point taken and I agree that every cog in the machine no matter how small contributes to the wider success. But for me we widen the net too far and having to go thru the motions politely applauding all and sundry detracts from the fun of the occasion.

Maybe if we brought the first team squad and coaching set up out first that would work better

After 38 games?

To reach 90 points from our current position, City are going to have to drastically improve our PPG from by 0.21. Basically we need 38 points from a possible 42, which realistically is 13 wins from 14 games (or 12 wins and a couple of draws). Arsenal are currently running at 2.35 PPP - to reach 90 points from their current position, they only need to increase their PPG to 2.37. 36 points from a possible 45, which is roughly 12 wins from 15 games. United are getting giddy but they will need to win basically all of their remaining games to reach 90 points. Arsenal have a lot more breathing room and, as a result, United dropping points in even one game will rule them out almost completely. Only a massive Arsenal collapse will give United a chance of getting back in.

I think City are looking at about 80-85 points based on how previous seasons have turned out and how our PPG rate is working out so far. Whether that's enough to win the title depends on other teams. It'll definitely be enough for 3rd and most likely will be enough for 2nd. I really would like us to go all out for the FA Cup and Champions League. Finishing in the top 4 and having a good cup run would be superb season.

Huge shock, this. Really didn't think our run of form nor Arsenal's run of form were possible. This turnaround has been unbelievable, so too has Arsenal's collapse.

Gary is completely right here...absolutely stupid from Micah. If they cant win vs fucking southampton at home without saliba then they should not be trying for a title in the first place

Gary got this one. City had their own issues. The record with Dias and without is pretty revealing. Race would have been totally different with full health. Arsenal had that except for Jesus until they got run into ground.
