This team we have is not just a great, young and hugely talented team ! We're scrappy as fuck, and have great team spirit! Get results against really good teams away from home, even when we're not at our fluid best! Long way to go, there'll be the usual end-of-season twists and turns. Title or not, great to see our club where we should be after all these years, and proud of Poch and the boys wherever we finish!

Full steam ahead. This is definitely on.

Love this squad of players. Every one of them wants to play for Poch and it shows.

Long way to go but we're the team in form and we've got strength in depth.

I thought the Leicester defeat took us out of the race. Today we fought our way firmly back in.

We all need to remember that top 4 was the aim, but now we can look up with a great deal more confidence.

COYS!

To be honest I quite like the fact that our next 3 games are not in the PL.

I think it will prove to be beneficial to come back to things when the hype has died down a bit. Doesn't allow us to get too carried away and we can regain the focus for Swansea.

We still need help from somewhere. Somebody must beat surprisingly beat Leicester. They could go on a new long streak of no losses, looking at their next opponents. Norwich, WBA, Newcastle, Sunderland, Palace ...

Bit disappointed really. Was expecting a title winning season to have a bit more build up to it. This has all come about so quickly I haven't had a chance to really enjoy it. Such an anti climax.....

The funny thing about Leicester is that in some respects you can still see them dropping points. You absolutely can't discount them however.

We have a very tough fixture list until now and the end of the season. And my nerves are already fucking shot! Lot of football left to be played.

They are all teams who would consider a draw to be a great result for them now. Leicester might struggle to break through teams that aren't setting up for the win and I can see them struggling in some of those games, especially against Pulis' West Brom and Allardyce's Sunderland.

We have tough games but if we are going to win the league, we need to go and get those points! I remember the season we played Chelsea and Arsenal in consecutive games in 4 days, everybody said we would bottle it and we won both games.

Today we proved that we have the mentality to win the big games when the pressure is on. We looked the equal of city in every way and ultimately had the mental strength to get the winner when it really mattered. That is the kind of thing that champions do.

Its great that we have cup games to play. The players can get away from thinking about the title and the media can spend a couple of weeks obsessing about why liverpool and utd arent in the top 4.

Of course this is on. Just look at our goal difference, the way we play, the run we are in..

We just need to drop the Europa.

Drop the Europa? As in just forget about it? Why? Lets go and win the bloody thing. We can and we bloody well better try! This team can go down as heroes. We're in for the treble, man!!

You dont win the treble with one striker dude.. United did it with Cole, Yorke, Solskjaer, Sheringham..
