No change, still have to beat dippers as it stands:

left to play....pts now....max pts

dippers...12...60...96
CITY.......12...59...95
arse.......12...58...94


Goal difference...it's been a good while since we are playing catch up.

We’re 2nd. One point behind the leaders. With 39 points to play for.

What a time to be alive when we’re sweating about this

I’ll be honest, that doesn’t look good.

Our next 4 decide it for me - but we have to raise our levels for 3 of those ;)

When the pressure even hints at being close to arsenal they fold like shit. A club completely unsuited to pressure.

Yes, I think being in third suits them tbh.

Always thought there would be a drop off after our achievements last season and i am pleasantly surprised we are still in the mix for another treble in mid - february , the league is a 38 game slog and i think this will be the really difficult one to retain.
As far as the Champs league goes the big guns like Bayern , Real etc are not ripping up any trees and we only need five decent games and we are in another final , would hate to see the Goons or Dippers take our title as i was hoping Villa would keep the pace but they have bottled it.

I love Peps comments tonight. Loves his players, what they are doing isn’t normal. He’s bang on, we’re still on course to win a fourth title on the bounce, no other team in the history of English football has achieved it. Liverpool will want to win it for Klopp and Arsenal will try to do something they couldn’t do last year. City on the back of a treble, are still in the hunt despite the two other teams being desperate to win the title. Pep knows how hard it’s going to be retain the title, if we do it will undoubtedly the best achievement we’ve ever seen from a football team in England.

Spot on. The fact we’re on a great run and where we are despite playing relatively poorly
Is testament to the character of Pep and the team. We have the mentality to get it done. It’s been pretty fucking ugly but we keep putting one foot in front of the other. If we can get a bit of cohesion in the final third then the other teams will shit themselves

Just hope it’s not down to goal difference. We’re struggling to stay in quite a few games while Dippers and Gooners are free scoring. Hope we can get our act together soon but I fear this is as good as it’s going to be down to our mental strength.

We are still capable of scoring in bursts.

Pressure all on the dippers and Arsenal being there will add further pressure on them. The whole Klopp leaving will eventually overwhelm them.
