The league last win at Anfield before 2021, 2003 and 1981 was 1953.
I remember the like of Liverpool winning at Maine Road and being clapped off the pitch after winning. City fans appreciating their football. Can you imagine the bitter scouse twats doing anything but booing. Our players gave money towards the Hillsboro’s fund at Anfield and got booed every time we touched the ball. Yaya got injured and those twat were cheering.

Red Scouse wankers.

Pathetic comment.

Are you trying to give the lurkers another stick to beat us with.

If you can't say anything positive or supportive before a major game say nowt !!
I'll say what I want. This is a city forum. Couldnt give a shite what lurkers think. 3 wins in seventy years speaks for itself. The recent win there was in front of an empty Anfield.

What about the numerous games in recent years where we have been outright ravaged by the Refs or VAR?

You seem to like shite and shit brown shorts...do you need a doctor or another club to support ??
 
We can’t rely on anyone else. If City can’t go to spurs and the dips and win then how can we expect other inferior teams? Nah it’s time city banish these stupid fucking hoodoos. 5 trophies last season cemented us into the very top.

If we don’t turn up we don’t deserve to win the league again. It’s that simple this season.

Yep if we shit ourselves at Anfield again it’s curtains for us.
 
Have to be honest this is the first time this season I don’t think we will win it.

United at home, Villa at home, Arsenal at home, Liverpool away and Spurs away.

We are dropping too many points there.

Hope I am wrong.
 
I will puke if dippers win the title from a position of being 5th last season, no CL, losing experienced players like Fabinho, Henderson and they miss out on top targets like Bellingham, Caicedo, basically buy a new midfield of decent players but no world beaters like Mcallister, Endo, Szoboslai, and turn it into PL title.

if thats what it takes to win title I will puke.

we cannot let it happen.

this draw might be a blessing in disguise in perspective, now pep will have to set players for a win and only vs dippers, because earlier in the season if u remember vs arse and villa we were only there for a point at best, didn't even look trying to win none of those games basically the team was unrecognizable...
 
We are 5 for 5 in these title races, which is good.

But if you believe in omens, every time Pep has won the title with City, we have had at least a 12 game winning streak in each of those winning seasons.

It’s still possible we can do this again, but it’s looking very unlikely.

I don’t believe in omens and still think we win it regardless.

The good omen: we have won any title race under Pep when we have been no more than 8 pts off the top after 24 games.

We were 10 pts off Chelsea after 24 games in 16-17, and we were 19 pts off Liverpool in 19-20.

At various points in 18-19, 20-21 and 22-23 we were 7-8 pts off Liverpool or Arsenal and still won the title.

Basically, City are very good in title races. That was true also before Pep, as both Mancini and Pellegrini won close title races, with worse teams at that. Of course, this tendency doesn’t guarantee success. But, imo, it's not only, or even mostly, about luck.

The main thing: we should stay close to our rivals in March and April and we are likely to win it. If we win our games before Liverpool, even a loss at Anfield wouldn't mean curtains to our title chances, just us the loss there in 2014 didn't stop us from winning the league.

That said I think we won't lose at Anfield.

I don't think we will either.
And a big factor could be liverpool away at villa 2nd to last game.
 
We have only been outright favourites in mid February once in the modern era...Centurians season.

We have had to win it in the last month,the last week,the last day and the last minute.

2.1 down v QPR
1.0 down at Brighton
2.0 down v Vanilla

8 points behind the rags
8 points behind arse
14 wins on the bounce to beat the dippers

42 points to play for including agin arse & dippers

This team are in contention for for immortality...
Four in a row
Back to back CLs
Back to back Trebles

It's time for ALL City fans to show some fecking balls, stop nit picking over 3 missed chances and 2 dropped points and get right behind this team starting on Tuesday night....and stick behind them all the way to the bloody end.

19th May...Champions
25th May...FA Cup Winners
1st June...CL Champions
at WEMBLEY

Three consecutive weekends AGAIN to achieve success and immortality....we must drive this team on because this may never,ever happen again.

Do your duty !!

Speaking objectively, I’m not sure we were brilliant in the Mancini run in. The last six games were obviously faultless.

Before that we won one out of five and were effectively out of the title race if it wasn’t for United committing one of the biggest bottle jobs in premier league history (which doesn’t get mentioned due to the drama of the Aguero goal being the main theme of that title win).

If think if we dropped that many points in our final 10/11 games this season we won’t be winning the title.

Depends how many games you consider the “run in” to be.
 
I'm not usually one for being negative at all, but I just don't see us doing the league this season.

Usual scenario is that we end up in a 2 horse race with another team, we get our heads down and do the business while the other team bottles it or can't deliver the consistency to the end. This season though there are two other teams we need to fail, both of whom are bang in form.

In addition, we have built our success on being extremely good defensively, whereas now, although not terrible, we are always likely to give a goal away. As we found out on Saturday, that can be the difference between getting all the point or not. Especially against teams that we don't score lots against to counteract goals conceded.

We have a very tough few months ahead with away games at our rivals. We've won it mane times before where we had our doubts. I just think this may be one too many times for us.

Praying we get better at the back and he stops persisting with Alvarez and Haaland, and plays Foden in the middle!
 
March is massive.
If we don't drop too many points and stay in amongst then our last 6 games should yield us 15, 16 pts taking into account us going to Spuds.
That game away at Spuds could be the one that most decides things.
Just glad we've finally got a result there this season, which should help

The dips got beat at Arsenal 2 games ago, so of they're bang in form then our draw on Saturday doesn't look too shabby, continuing our unbeaten run.
6 pointers coming up in the next few weeks in terms of the title.
We normally step up to the plate for these.
