Really need City to show up these next two games. 4 points after 21 games I’d give a slight edge to City given the respective momentum a City win over the dippers could create. Anything less than 6/6 for City the next two games and it’s a wrap unfortunately.

They are unbareable and the press will be awful too.

The only miniscule thing against it, is it's looked certain they'd win it in the past, only to blow up late on like City have done this last few games.
But the late goals scored, the missed pens by Mahrez, Pickford's inexplicable gaffe all are the luck of champions. They look like they might do an Arsenal invincibles at the moment.

All we can focus on is our recovery.
The concern for me is that I didn't think they were playing very well at the start of the season, weren't pressing as intensely, yet were winning games. I fear that there's actually more in the tank still this time unlike previous years.

The only tiny positive is it stops all the City are the best team the world has ever seen nonsense.
The obvious downside is Liverpool will suddenly be it.

Looks like we weren't joking when some of us previously said they'll break our league record before we win it again. :nervous::nervous::nervous:

I don't see how City get 6/6 given how they are playing.

Conceding about 8 in 20 games is the big worry. City are still appalling defensively, so always have a shock loss in them. This lot won't be kept at bay by many teams, so their defence keeps them in it.

Team that spends the most wins the title. Wonder how many times that hasn't been the case. Bar Leicester recently.

City are our only hope. Maybe we'll get lucky and they'll crash out of the CL while Liverpool stretch to compete on all fronts.

If Palace can get a result against Chelsea tomorrow could be huge for our top 4 chances.

Pool running away with the title as everyone else falls apart. Signs of Leicester season (though other teams are not that bad)

Switched this garbage off after 20 minutes, people have a nerve to talk about our defense when you see the absolute shit show going on in Arsenal's defense, total joke.

Them winning it this year, it's something I will never forgive Mourinho or the players for.

Hope the lads have choreographed a dance for Instagram when they win it :rolleyes:
