The point that wins us the title

[Diddyman]

I'm going to be positive here, everyone else is giving the title to City now, which will hopefully lead to complacency on their part. What that point does is guarantee that we go to the last game of the season with a chance. Anything can happen in a game if football, most of it has happened to us. So with hope in my heart, as unlikely as it might be, I'm not giving up. Sometimes, only needing a draw, can be the worst thing that can happen to a team. I still believe!!!

[Unrighteous]

Yea, if City lose a game (My mate who supports West Ham says he'll rally the troops.. ha!) then that 1 point + 3 from Newcastle could be the title winner.

[DanDanShaw]

I think it'd only be fair if Andy Carroll scores the winner against City that we take Aspas' league medal away from him and give it to Andy.

If City are going to lose then it has to be tomorrow for my money.... Simply to lift and give some belief and energy to what must be a devoed bunch of players.

 

I find it hard to believe that after last night our players would be able to stomach City winning tomorrow and having the necessary belief and energy for Sunday.

 

They need a boost to take into Sunday - City losing tomorrow.

 

The City players will also be swept into Sunday with total belief if they win tomorrow and should they lose tomorrow then they are where our players were last night.

 

I know Sunday it is still up for grabs no matter what mathematically and i'll not give up hope, but I honestly believe that tomorrow is the day it is "decided"

Somebody said City were cheering as if they’d won the title after 3-2 on Goodison. I guess they’re double celebrating now. If they take this for granted they might be up for a surprise.

Beating City on goal difference was a non starter. After Chelsea we needed City to slip somewhere. We still do. Only difference is we now need them to lose one (or draw both). The fact that City doesn’t have to win tomorrow can work both ways.

 

I’ll take the pain when we’re beaten. Until we are I stay positive. Bookies have Villa at 13-1 to win. It’s worth a bet.

 

Besides, if this is anything like the 2005 season we were always going to be beaten at some point, only to rise from the dead. No matter how stupid no matter how naïve, I still believe.

Bet365 have them at 20/1 so I'd back them there if you're thinking of having a flutter.

I don't think I could take a city win tomorrow and a loss to West Ham on the last day

Take it? I'd have your arm off.

[TheDrowningMan]

Hahahahaha, no. Just no. Please don't delude yourself, it'll only lead to pain. The title is gone, dead, buried. It will be a fantastic achievement if the players have the mental strength to beat Newcastle & secure second place on the final day.

[JaminKibbler]

Take it? I'd have your arm off.

Obviously i'd be elated, but the journey to the final whistle would be insane on emotions

why? I'd take a 98th minute West Ham win with City hitting the post 10 times

[Rick Sanchez C-137]

I would too, if my heart would hold out. And i'm 26. The above scenario would potentially wipe out a generation of fans!

Whatever happens, our team need to put on a performance on Sunday to thank the supporters, to maximise our points total, and to end the season on an optimistic note - and put some traction behind us for next year.

Agree - hopefully the 6 days between the games can see them pick themselves up to go again. If city get beat weds though that would be the perfect tonic.

 

Whatever happens though its been a boss season and anfield should be rocking sunday - and who knows maybe there's a golden sky at the end of it.

 

If there isn't this year i for one believe it won't be long until there is. Glory often follows not long after agonising failure.

Il say one thing, theres no way im watching the game tomorrow. Ive had some walls to paint for a while and ive decided wednesday night is the time. Il check the tv at 10pm and hopefully read of a city defeat.

same here. Do not want to sit through and get my hopes up. In fact, other than this forum, I will be avoiding twitter and all things football until the kickoff against newcastle. 

[Jonjo Baldy]

I don't know why after all the negative shit I have posted last few days, somewhere in the back of my heart something is saying there is some hope left, even though my head is saying its all over. Just can't get over this :(  it's gonna take a good few months to heal and forget.

[ZonkoVille77]

Henderson will be back and like a duracell bunny on speed.

we'll see what he brings to the team when we beat the fuck out of the barcodes.

[Dr. J]

Feeling more optimistic today. Neither Villa or WHU want to be the bitch for City's triumphal procession, If you can't win anything, may as well spoil the party for someone else.

[Jonjo Baldy]

^ Really? We shouldn't rely on empty thoughts for optimism.

 

The title is pretty much gone bar an extraordinary moment, we need to let it go, its over. Hopefully the manager and the players have learnt something from this season, much like last season when we were not scoring enough and not taking our chances, we came back this season scoring for fun, but conceding on each run, hopefully next season the defensive side of our play will be fixed, and we will be stronger, more complete, with the young squad and manager having some experience behind them now.

[Red Phoenix]

Have decided that I'm addicted to delusion and depression when it comes to this season, so I'm going to watch the game shortly.

 

I hope to see extended close-ups of Noel and Liam Gallagher in tears at the end.

 

edit : oh, it's tomorrow. Fuck. Thought it was, but must have clicked on tomorrow on livescore when it was after midnight and thought it was still yesterday. Bastards.

 

24 more hours of pain and wondering, what a fucking nightmare this is.

[Saintslfc13]

Carroll called us champions and we all know Andy never tells lies.

Me too, like a kind of football sado-masochism the pain feels good at this point.

Thought it was like masochism too, it's driving me a bit mad though. Twice since the Chelsea game I've just had to go to bed because I felt so shit, after Chelsea was the worst though as I was drunk too. Not touched any drink since the early part of last tuesday I think, but half of last week was like a living hell recovering from it all.

 

Anyway, fuck going mental for another 24 hours and fuck football, Skyrim can be played instead.

[John McClane]

City must wait until 24 hours before they play, id much prefer this than them playing tonight.

If we as fans find the wait a nightmare, what about them.

Also, Paul Lambert is a sound man, he deserves his moment in our title story. Then for the hell of it, Sam Allardici can get league cup revenge with Nolan in the middle screaming at his team to keep going.
