The Reasons We Will/Wont Come Back...

[old skool tom]

1 Top sides dont throw it away twice.City had it in their hands on it once (like us) and wont let go again

 

2 SAS look fucked,Danny Boy was nowhere near fit and Suarez looks goosed.Tbh I think we'll struggle to score more than the 96 we have at the moment.

 

3 Playing so superb and handling the pressure for so long will take it toll on us,how theyve kept winning is beyond me,so fucking proud of the lads!

 

 

 

 

Theres only one reason I can see us winning it..weve never won anything easily for the last 20 years!.

 

Maybe the miracle of all miracles like Istanbul will be topped? I just hope we beat Palace and hope city feel pressure against Fat Sams Retirement Home For Hasbeens!

[gingerhulk]

Lukaku.

 

He will score the winner against city. Then we twat Palace and Newcastle

[JermainePennant]

This title challenge has hurt bad, to be so close and then lose it is a sickener.

 

Fair play to fans who can be optimistic about a title challenge next season but after seeing how we have reacted to previous pl challenges I cant be confident about it.

 

Edit, I thought this was about coming back next season, we wont come back this season because city will win all their games, if they give Everton a beating we could be out of it at palace as players heads may go.

We're still top of the league, people are acting like we're behind in the race. It's arguably easier to chase down a lead but there is literally no room for error, we already have the points on the board. I believe in this team, we won't play against a team as negative as Chelsea until next time we play them. We'll batter palace and Newcastle, not much more else we can do just have to hope Man City are anything less than flawless

[Lee909]

I dont see the bitters doibg anything but fuck me if Lukaku won them a point id love to see Mourinho's face

Still a few twists left in this title race. 

 

As for how we will cope next year - If we keep Suarez and replcae Aspas/Alberto/Cissokho/Johnson/Toure with better players we will win the league. 

 

Sterling, Coutinho, Henderson, Sakho, Flanagan, Suso/ Llori are all going to be a year improved next year. Add them too Suarez, Sturridge etc and we are a seriously fucking strong side. Just need to clean that bench up and bring in a few top players. 

[jamespp]

I think they'll win all 3 but on the positive side

Everton - a good side and city don't usually get a result there

Villa - a team that'll lose 3-0 at home to no marks one week, then get a win/draw against a top side the next

West Ham - errrrr......fat sam to do a 19th century football job on them

It's all about the next 2 games for me, if they win them against Everton & Villa they've won it

[ngogswilly]

Almost certain City will drop points. I reckon they'll draw 1 game. 

 

Just worried we'll slip up against Palace. Said it last night but I have this horrible feeling they'll just play out of their skins for some bizarre reason. 

We'll need Suarez and Sterling to really be up for it. Hopefully Sturridge will be available too. 

 

We win our last 2 games we'll win the league because I'm almost certain City will drop something. 

[Tony Moanero]

Lukaku can't play.

[Bjornebye]

Lukaku can't play.

 

why? 

[skend04]

Lukaku can't play.

Huh?

[Lario]

Lukaku can't play.

 

The fuck?

 

Do you think he's a City player?

[Tony Moanero]

why?

 

I thought loaned players couldn't play against their parents their parent club.

[Lario]

He's a Chelsea player!

[Tony Moanero]

Ha ha

 

Everton are playing City, not Chelsea.

 

What a knob.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

Manero meldown.

[Tony Moanero]

I'd been saying that we would definitely win the league for about two months, but I'm a lot less confident after yesterday. Crystal Palace away is going to be tricky. We've had some horrible results at Selhurst Park over the years.

Pulis done my head in last night with his post match interview saying they will make sure they are competitive against us out of respect for other teams and the league, why the fuck didn't he have them competitve against city instead of just bending over for them like they did.

It'll be a breath of fresh air if they come at us and play. We'll spank them if the players can regain their heads.

[Trucker Paddy]

Aspas

[Jairzinho]

Most bookies have them 4/5. Most bookies have us 5/4.

 

It would suggest that the race is most certainly still on.

[GJM]

City have to put together 5 straight wins to win it and even with two under their belts already, that's no easy feat. The manner of the defeat yesterday was difficult to bear but it most certainly does not sink our season.

 

Given the choice of being where we are now or in City's position, I'd take ours. An away game at Everton - a team that will need points in that game in order to have a chance of CL qualification for next season - is a far tougher prospect than either of our two remaining games. For us, the 3pts that City have to fight for next weekend are already on the board. 

 

I'm far from complacent, but even further from dejection. We are still fighting for this and the experience yesterday may be just what we need to carry us through.

Well, surely Mourinho would be happy as it would give Chelsea a chance to win the league.  You've just been outed - you love Mourinho and you'd love to see his face when he was happy.

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

This is very much alive. Both managers will be telling their respective squads the same things.

 

City did what they needed to do yesterday. But they weren't great, by any means. Terrible record at Goodison. Everton will want to keep their European hopes alive, either Europa or an outside squeak at CL.

 

Let's look at it objectively. Everton have beat United, Arsenal and Chelsea at Goodison. They were a few minutes away from beating us too. Is it a plausible outcome that they can take points off City, be it a draw or a win. Yes. It is.

 

That's all we need. Plus, this team of ours has tended to react well to defeats. I can see the Chelsea game galvanising the squad and getting them going again for one last push. Two games. Win them, see what happens.

 

Plus, like him or not, Ferguson knows what it takes to win titles. He always relied on the mantra that he'd rather have points in the bag than games in hand. I think the same applies here. The door has been opened for City, but the pressure is on them to win those 3 games.

Time for Barkley to pave his way to the RS by scoring the winning goal and being disowned by Evertonians. Over to you Barkley lad.
