I don't think anyone other than City has come first with that points total, let alone secondMe too. Has anyone ever come second with such a high points total before?

Chavs have the highest two points totals after our century with 95 and 93 points.I don't think anyone other than City has come first with that points total, let alone second
Is factually correct , I agree
However we need to win 14 in a row to achieve it...it’s not easy
I am sorry to say if we beat Spurs and go through this week then the league will be beyond us if we need to win all five fixtures. If we go out of Europe I would think we might well win all five. Despite Liverpool winning today and the entire world having decided they will win their remaining four fixtures I am not convinced.
Cardiff will be fighting for their lives and it would be just the kind of thing Warnock would thrive on putting a spanner in their works. Newcastle away will not be easy and I would not be surprised if they take points of Liverpool at SJP.
Its certainly going to be close but if Liverpool have CL semi against Barcelona it will make it more likely a slip in the league will come...in that respect we are the same.
I have said for some time that winning the Prem and the CL in the same season is now next to impossible for an English club, we will see how close we get but alas I am sorry to say I dont think we can prove me wrong this season.
Good post, hope you are proved right.Strangely calm tonight. What I realise — but I only realise it now — is that I was much more afraid of us fucking up in some way against Palace, than of Liverpool winning.
What is crystal clear to me is this: for weeks now, Liverpool have had major wobbles in virtually all of their games. Most of the time they get away with it (sometimes not). Call it luck or whatever. Who cares? Since Newcastle, we simply do not have these periods when we look very, very rocky. Even Spurs the other night, was not about a bad period of the match, but about one player, who's had a generally poor season, and who is in any case playing in a position that he was never naturally intended for, switching off for a few seconds, and letting Son into it. I do not see that we were seriously dominated by Spurs for any significant period of the match, with Ederson having to pull off last ditch world-class saves. Palace? They barely laid a glove on us. Ok, the free kick. But my point stands. You simply don't see us being dominated and putting out fires all over the pitch for ten to fifteen minute periods.
We don't look tired, in my opinion. We don't look jaded, in my opinion. Players like Sané and De Bruyne look hungry, and sharp. Sure, we've been guilty of playing certain games at a bit of a jogging pace recently — but still basically controlling the match.
We can certainly win every single league match that remains, and the F.A. Cup final. The Champions League is a somewhat different beast, because in effect you can switch off for ten seconds and go out, because the good teams left will punish you mercilessly. I don't know about that one. We'll see. It's a hell of a season…
