7 wins from 9 won’t win it this season. Have a feeling we will need all nine to be honest.

You think arsenal and or abu dhabi will win all their games then

I think Abu Dhabi will, yeah. Arsenal less likely to, but still in with a shout. They are a lot better than they were last year and haven’t picked up injuries to key players like last year either.

[Megadrive Man]

We could do with City and Arsenal getting through then playing each other in the Champions league.

 

I can't see City winning all of there games including cups from here. They aren't at the same level of the last few years.

If abu dhabi do they get 91.

 

So we could get to 92 and pip that total.

 

8 wins and a draw would do that.

 

But if arsenal won all theirs too they'd be on 92 too...

 

I can't see it coming to that.

City have got 3 draws in their last 6 PL games. No way they win all the remaining  games.

No way any team wins the last 9 I’ll be especially surprised if City do

Yeah end of the day it’s a title chase and that brings pressure and unlikely results it’s not straight forward on paper

Deffo brings pressure....my blood pressure for starters and i'd imagine same for all of us.

Fuck knows how I’m approaching next Sunday 

[Code]

On a level playing field we should have been out of sight.

My idea is always the same. We concentrate on the next game. We hope to win, no? Many possibilities for us if we train hard.

We’ll be sound for that lad, don’t worry.

Was only thinking same thing the other week we should be about 8 clear

Just had a glance at the lineups and the injuries for the other two. 

 

Man city 2 injuries, Ederson and Walker. 

Arsenal 1 injury, Timber. 

 

Us today, 9 injuries. Four or five of which are first choice. 

 

Will be some achievement if we win this league 

when?

I hate playing those rats, playing them during a title challenge run in with razor thin margins likely is fucking horrible.....but also great!

 

If we turn up properly we win!

[Ronnie Whelan]

I was rightly told a few days ago by a few on here that we can't take Sheffield United for granted in terms of working the goal difference. 3 more points please.

 

United does feel huge because as shit as they are, it's a gigantic banana skin. If we get the win there, it will give us gigantic momentum.

 

The 3 points on City with a nice goal difference on them is huge. Obviously they are a huge threat but they don't have much wriggle room. Arsenal are a very good side. Still, I see them dropping points along the way.

Never look forward to it but like you said we turn up and they can’t be as lucky twice 

[Baltar]

Arsenal have zero injuries, we've got at least 6 first team players out another 3 or 4 valuable squad players injured. City have around 3 first team players out. If Arsenal fail to win the title from here it might be worse than their collapse from last season.

Definitely (not), particularly as Arsenal have Luton at home mid week.

2-2 draw

[Vincent Vega]

Interesting stats here on how teams who have lead the league after 29 games eventually fared:

 

[Code]

Won it 5 out of 7 times the last 20 years when leading with two points or less, or 71,43 %. 
 

Teams with only two losses at this stage have won it every time though. 

[Kevin D]

Well, we’ve got ourselves a ball game now, folks.

[Jose Jones]

I am worried about all our away games. Could easily drop points in any of them.
