[Scaring Europe to Death]

Re: can we close the gap

The one thing that we've learnt (or should have learnt) is that the run-in takes a life of its own, often culminating in the easier games proving the most difficult. Nerves play a huge part, as do attitude. fitness, and most important of all, catching teams at the right time.

On both occasions that we won the Premier League, City actually had the hardest run-in. However, I don't remember anybody predicting that we would win at Palace and Everton, but only draw at home to Sunderland.

Similarly, United always seemed to beat Wigan 4-0 or 5-0 every season. Could anybody see them losing in 2012?
Our hardest game was supposedly at Champions League chasing Newcastle. The QPR game the following week was an obvious walkover.

This season we still have to visit White Hart Lane. A difficult fixture, but Spurs might have one eye on winning the Europa League.

Having said that, if we win at Anfield then Chelsea will start to feel the heat.

If we beat Liverpool we have a chance. If we draw or lose then the chance of success is diminished.

Are you a detective?

Yes, me :-)

Called it at the time and people said I was mad! But Wigan were playing really well having just beaten Liverpool and Stoke and would have beaten Chelsea were it not for bent refereeing. In fact they beat Arsenal straight after the rags game, so they were on a real roll.

But I take your point, and it only goes to show how some of the bottom clubs can really up their game and cause big upsets as they fight to stay up.

Still don't think we will win it. :-( just gotta make sure we get second and have a proper squad revamp in the summer!

Correct. Unfortunately we won't win at Liverpool next week and from us being 17 points ahead of them at one stage it will be down to 7. Oh and Chelsea will regain their 8 point advantage. Sorry.

Chelsea will panic, Mourinho is massively under pressure, and it will all end in tears for them.

thinking the same, they are beginning to implode and when they lose the cup final that is our moment to kick in for the final stretch to win it.
