Why we will win the league!

Have to admit when Malg posted the "why we'll win the league" thread I thought, "now you've gone and jinxed it".

But each week I went in there and although never confident myself in the last two months, I always came out with the feeling that this year we could be on to something really special, rather than, this year could turn out shit.

I have to admire your certainty. I won't even call it optimism, as that is all I had and it wasn't the same thing.

Thank you for that thread, wherever it is now.
You have balls of steel.

Agree.. like you, this thread was the only one I read regularly since January, enjoying the contributions of those who weren't flapping or pointing accusing fingers at certain 'Aunt Sally' players in other threads, especially the match day threads (which I only read when we're away from home as I'm at the ground for home games).

'Malg' and those other contributors actually took time to think our situation(s) at any given point throughout the season in a thoughtful, non-reactive way. I posted something similar in the 'Were We 8pts Behind United?' thread when the dust had settled the day after the Newcastle defeat, as follows..

"Spot on (..apart from confusing Tuesday with Monday..!!) You sum up the season so far and also point the way ahead, especially not giving up on the title, ever.

Taking out the odd international commitments the squad has, as far as the Premiership is concerned we are now in a 14 game season. I know we're 5 points adrift but that equates to a 2-game shift for us to take over Liverpool. If Pep, his team and the squad get their individual and collective acts together (please! no more 'Newcastles', lads!), anything can happen, especially if The Anfield Road Formation Brick Throwing Society continues to run into pesky, insurmountable obstacles such as long grass, snow on the pitch, goalkeepers who refuse to throw the ball into their own nets and so on..

As for the domestic cup competitions, well, we have a one-off final due and potentially 4 FA cup ties to win that trophy. That would be 19 games between now and 18 May, 15 weeks from now. Just over 1 game per week on average. Add in the Champions League, a run of 7 games to the final on 1 June would change that to 26 games in 19 weeks, or 1.5 games per week on average. Keep the players fit, get them ticking over like last season and up to December this and, as I said above, anything can happen. It will be tough and demanding on the squad but anything can happen.

But most of all, we never should never give up on the title until it's all over! We never give in. Ever."

So, as others have said, well done to 'Malg' for starting this discussion/'support group'.. cojones de acero!

Yes great thread. Great outcome and great positivity. But the catalyst was the dippers drawing next day after reversal against magpie's versus Foxes. Because of the wind or rain or snow or no dodgy keeper or no bus to attack or no God in heaven or whatever.

Thank you all who’ve been using kind words towards me since yesterday ... my glass has always been half full and would remain so no matter how tough the situation we find ourselves in ... so expect all the positivity coming from me in future threads too!

This thread however made it to RAWK as well and was referenced in their “Chasing the Title” thread which till this thread popped up here was called “The Pack Chasing Us” and the irony of it was as they changed their own thread’s name half way through the season as their lead started to slip away, they referenced this thread and called it that (paraphrasing here) “City fans are clueless about football and they don’t understand what a genius and masterpiece of a manager they have and that’s why we the City fans start threads like why we’d win the league - because we don’t understand football like they do”

No jokes, I’m serious!
