I thnk its going to be close whatever the above results.

We really should be getting all 3 points vs Fulham with Marco Silva and Mitrovic banned and theyll be on holiday with nothing much to lose or gain.

I think once Arsenal beat Liverpool this weekend the title race is pretty much over

My worry is that Liverpools away form is shocking for their high standards, but as the Utd game showed they are still capable of pulling a performance out the bag at Anfield. Plus, our record there is terrible as well.

But that's exactly it. You've said it yourself. “Pulled it out of the bag”. That happens once in a season, but in no way reflects where this Liverpool team are at this year. Also, United seemed to forget the very meaning of the word “defending” in that match — and for once De Gea didn't pull off a series of ridiculous saves to pull the chestnuts out of the fire.

Dropping points against Fulham and Everton...?

Not a chance.

The only games we risk dropping points are the Arsenal and Brentford fixtures. If we drop points in any other games, we don't deserve to win the league this year.

Keeping everybody fit now is key.

We're in fantastic form and it's arrived at the time we needed it most. Clearly the players are absolutely fired up the manager and fans also, even Khaldoon and Soriano were celebrating like they've been fans from birth ha.

The Arsenal game is the big one and the pressure is on us to win that game, if we lose imo its curtains I'm so glad it's midweek as the Etihad will be absolutely rocking.

10 League games = 10 cup finals

What a time to be a blue :)

We'll definitely pick up at least 1 of the 3 pieces of silverware on offer, let's hope it's all fucking 3 :)

Come on City.

Don’t be silly.

They've been beat 8 times away from home this season in the league I believe, but still only lost once at home.

There's a massive difference between their away form and home form. And I mentioned our record at Anfield. Throw in Merseyside, in general, as we seem to feck things up against Everton of all teams. In fact, add Manchester to that as well, we tend to always shit the bed there as well.

I could be full of bravado and say we're better than them currently and will go there and beat them. But honestly, until they prove to me they can go to the most difficult grounds and win, then I'll always be wary.

I see Liverpool, Brighton, Newcastle, Chelsea and Forest simply because it’s at Forest as potential banana skins for arsenal other than when we beat them at ours of course (I hope)

 

[HelloCity]

If we hadn’t sold them Zinchenko and Jesus the league would already be over.

Last 5 matches between them: dipper 3 wins ,1 draw and 1 gooners win.

 

[Axel Freed]

It’s a no lose run in

We’re hitting top form at just the right time

We’ve sent the dippers off into oblivion

We’re poised to finish above the rags for the 10th straight season

We have some massive cup games to look forward to

Doesn’t get any better than this, enjoy every minute of it

Brighton? Newcastle? De Zerbi has gotten brighton firing on all fronts and they look really good and as for newcastle they are monsters in transition and we still struggle in transitions.

I suppose a £53m profit on the sale of both players was too hard to turn down.

You know what? I'd actually like for everyone to believe this because if arsenal win then I can't wait for the shock when they suddenly begin losing points to newcastle or a brighton

Every man and his dog appear to make the Goons and yet their run-in is far more dificult than ours :

Liverpool (away) Ok playing poorly but they rarely lose at home and the goons record there is awful
West Ham (away) London derby and the Hammers fighting for every point
Southampton (home) Their easiest game in the run-in
God's own club (away) We've already beaten them twice , when the chips are down we win these games
Chelsea (home) Another London derby game , all depends if the Chavs have a decent manager by then
Newcastle (away)They couldnt beat them at home and i dont see them winning in front of 50k Geordies
Brighton (home) Quite capable of troubling the Goons and will be fighting for a european place
Forest (away) If Forest are still in danger of the drop, as we found, not an easy touch at their ground
Wolves (home) The Goons who have paid £20k for tickets are going to be disappointed , it wont even go to the last game.

We have found our groove and a formation with Stones strengthening the middle of the a park , as for the Champs league and FA Cup being a distraction it hasnt bothered us for the last few title wins , where as the Goons have an inexperieced squad who have never dealt with the pressure of title run-in , the bull shit and desperation the media have for a Gooner title is gonna be well and truly extinguished , would be a nice feeling pissing on their chips.

Gabby's barely played for them for weeks.

The hammers game is no gimme,don't think they've lost at home this year and they're not safe from relegation yet.

Game is at our place.

 

[simmo]

A bit annoying they play a game more before we play one another. So it be 2 games in hand.

Would have been good to go into that game maybe 5pts behind.

 

[rabby]

Game is at our place.

I'm referring to them playing the arse a week on Sunday,2-0 down to Geordies already tho lol
