The 'We Will Win the Title' Thread (merged)

[Silva_Spell]

We'd need to win all our games and rely on Chelsea dropping 10 pts

'realistically' speaking we'd be looking at their home fixtures against Liverpool and Utd and their away fixtures at Arsenal and QPR (it's a derby I suppose)

Would be amazing if by the 2nd of May we're 2 pts behind and then Stevie G runs onto a slip from Terry as we beat Spurs away to go top.

BRB putting mortgage on it...

The way its going Manure or Arsenal are going to win the league this year (LOL).

There are now 3 teams within 8 points of the title but Chelsea also have a game in hand, I wouldn't say it is cut and dry yet that Chelsea will win it. I also don't think it is a guarantee that we will even make the top 4 the way things are going. This weekend the whole thing was blown wide open and because we and Chelsea think we are safe up there, the others are getting spurned on. Time to wake up!

its not so much that we will not win the title , but we have gift wrapped it for the chavs , there has been a lot of threads about our poor atmosphere/support , but this set of players are guilty of not caring , something you could never say about our support. We criticise players and management because we are passionate about our club , but this squad is playing like they dont give a f*ck.

The players play like the look Pellegrini has on his face when sat on the bench and the personality he portrays in front of the camera. Like a dour old man with a monotone lifeless voice, and we play like a bored old team with a slow and monotonous passing game. No energy, no desire, no fight, no attention to detail, no structures or systems...just this "oh it'll be alright, we're better than the opposition so someone will do something at some point to win the game for us...defending?we don't need to worry about that because we have Silva who'll set up Kun at some point so let's sit back and bore everyone to death while we wait for it to happen...oh we're losing, well let's bring on a striker for a striker, come on Silva will do something in a minute, let's sit back and pretend there's no pressure on that man's shoulders to carry this team...what you mean Silva isn't winning the match on his own?...right let's bring him off even though we've offered him no help at all and ruin his confidence...yeah we lost, well it's okay i will never change my philosophy or this look on my face!"

That made me laugh, thank you for cheering me up, also very true.

And the game in hand is against Leicester City.

Even if they did slip up, it would be Arsenal, not us taking advantage. I can't see us finishing above Arsenal so we must do everything to finish about the rags because a CL qualifier would be a fucking major accident waiting to happen for us.

It would be a great away day though. Late August, sun shining, beer flowing..

Seriously though I'm gutted - we have given the title away. At least in 12/13 Utd were winning pretty much every game. After 30 games they were on 77 points. Best Chelsea can get for 30 games is 70.

I have been right up there tipping City to pip Chelsea by the end of the season, after Saturday, there is no chance we can win the league, I'm more worried about the rags overtaking us now, we cannot let that happen.

 

[Phil1]

Still thought we could until Saturday. Wasn't just the defeat but the fact we never looked like winning, despite what any stats will tell you. Games are running out now, this weekend was a big signal from the players that they haven't got the fight for it this time around.
