Re: Will we win the Prem?
Palace will almost certainly have nothing to play for by then, so little or no motivation to beat us.BlueAnorak said:I'm assuming we'll mess up against Palace - it's the City thing to do!

Re: Will we win the Prem?
Draw at Liverpool and Everton win the rest it's ours on GD. Liverpool/Chelsea draw we can draw at palace as well. If we don't lose on Sunday we're massive favourites.

Liverpool 1 City 3 & Everton 0 City 1
Previous to that:
1930/31 Liverpool 0 City 2 & Everton 0 City 1
1929/30 Liverpool 1 City 6 & Everton 2 City 3
It has only happened once in my lifetime - so pretty much as rare as rocking horse manure.
So statistically, no we are not going to win it.
Pointless comparing when you remember we were shit for many of the previous years. We are not shit anymore.

Re: Will we win the Prem?
A draw at Anfield and Goodison will be enough as a draw at Anfield knocks Liverpool's potential points total too.
The danger is that City know that and sub-consciously we go into these games knowing a point will do and we end up on the back foot all game, and go down narrowly.
I am sure that's what happened to Utd when they came to City in 2012 for the 1-0......they hardly got out of our half, and although we rarely looked like scoring, the pattern of the game was set early on, and Kompany got that goal from a corner.
We also need Chelsea to get knocked out tonight. They are our insurance policy. If they go through, then Liverpool's chances of winning that game go up enormously due to the timing of the League game, and the Champions League semi-finals

Re: Will we win the Prem?
It's not in Pulis' DNA to not try his hardest to beat us. And we have to accept it's a up final for most of the teams we play these days. Bragging rights at having beaten "moneybags City". That said, i think we will beat them comfortably, they are no Southampton.

Re: Will we win the Prem?
Be careful what you wish for. Chelsea might very well win all their remaining games should they beat Liverpool. That would give them 87 points which might conceivably be enough to win it. I think we want them distracted by the CL for as long as possible, thinking they don't need to win the PL to salvage their season.

Re: Will we win the Prem?
Yesterday's result is a boost for us for our game in hand against S'land next week. They'll be crestfallen and the fact Poyet's gone and said "we need a miracle to stay up" certainly won't help to lift their spirits. Now we just need to beat the dippers and we'll be well on our way.

Re: Will we win the Prem?
there is lots of good arguments for things happening and even if this and that happen we can still do it or still slip up and they are all true BUT my gut gut feeling is if Liverpool beat us on sunday they will win the title, thats why I'm going to be a wreck all week and during the game
