3rd May 2014, after 36 games.

Man City 80
Liverpool 80
Chelsea 78

Strangely people forget Chelsea were so close, but City won their next game, while Chelsea drew (as did Liverpool), so they were out of it before the final day.

God, yeah. It is strange. I remember it being close for a long time but thought Chelsea were realistically if not mathematically well out of it before the end.
 
Arsenal have had to be flawless since New Year and I think to win the league, they are going to have to remain flawless. I still think the damage was done for them in the first half of the season.

If they go on and win every game from here - which I think they will have to - that would mean a 20 game winning run, which completely erodes our record of 17. If they do that then fair enough, but I cannot see it. Not with City, Spurs and United away. Add in CL mid-week games against the very best now if they qualify on Tuesday. Those games drain you as a player and fan-base.

Liverpool have such a favorable fixture list that I think we have to presume they will win every game and hope to capitalize if they don't.

The big one for us now is the Arsenal game. Win that and I think we end their run and it's between us and Liverpool.
 
Everton, United and Villa away are not easy games. Villa at home have done us and Arsenal and will be in a proper scrap for Europe.

But as cliché as it sounds there's quality up and down the league, and how we all cope with Europe will have some influence you'd think.
Villa got hit for 4 by Tottenham yesterday at their ground.
 
The BBC having us down as favourites which might quell the disappointment from some on here ;)

Does anyone actually take these seriously. ? Every year City are favourites for the CL, it doesn't mean anything.
Arsenal and Liverpool are playing a little better than us at the moment, and unless we go up a gear or two, there is no chance of retaining the title.

Judging off our title run in form over the last maybe 5 seasons I see us as favourites, most people wouldn't blink at us winning 10 on the trot the same can't be said of the scousers and tarquins.

I see them getting turned over at the swamp, and well the tarquins have a lot of banana skins, all it really means is that we are in it mate.
