Title Race 2020/21

[OccupiedPalestineBlues]

Again, 6 points behind with a game in hand and 23 games to go is not comparable to 10 points ahead with 14 games left.

6 points was 8% of our remaining available points.

10 points at the moment is 24% of the remaining points for Leicester or United.

There's a reason we're 1/100 at the bookies.

I hear what you say, we’re nailed on at the bookies, but my celebrations don’t start at 1/100 they start when there’s nothing to bet on anymore.

As a point of interest, if some see it as an absolute certainty at 1/100, I’m wondering whether anyone’s stuck every last penny of their savings on it? A 1% return on less than a 3 month term is so much better than any savings accounts currently available.
I wouldn’t, for the reasons set out, but I can’t see why those who truly believe it’s already wrapped up wouldn’t.

There is no point in hiding it and saying it does not make you arrogant. The title is done and dusted.

Even with a 10 point cushion I can’t help but fear the worst! Was sure we where gonna drop points at Liverpool, then against spurs and away to Everton, I fully expect us to get turned over by Arsenal on Sunday. I can’t help it just what city have done to me over the years!

Just enjoy the rest of the season from afar so to speak.

You are privy to the best and longest run of success this club has had in its long history.

Those of us that supported City as long as I have can only be thankful to the owners for the enjoyment and evolution we have had the pleasure of being alive to see in the past 12 years.

When I grew up watching City it wasn't 10 points in the lead that got me excited it was 10 minutes.

I wonder how things could have been different for teams other than City had 5 subs been allowed this season?

The title is done and dusted not only becasue of our form but also the poor quality of the challengers , the Rags are at best a semi-final cup side , the Dippers fire has been extinguished due to Klippety flogging the same ten players for three seasons , Spuds are Spurrrrsy , Leicester are a plucky potential top four club and Chelski change managers like Abramovich changes his socks.
It isnt arrogance that a lot of our posters think the title is ours in February , its common sense.

If Chelsea had brought Tuchel in a couple of months earlier they might've been a threat but they left it too long to make the change.

Win the next 3 games and we’re there as far as I’m concerned. Arsenal, West Ham, and the Rags.

10 games left after that. We’d have to lose at least 5 of those games to give any team a chance of catching us, and any other team would need to win 5 games just to catch us.

Of those 10 games left, the hardest 3 games are Leicester and Villa away, and Chelsea at home.
