The Race to the Title

[cjsimba]

I'm trying to make him feel positive man!

Plus we've also got 1 more game to factor in, it could literally be a mirror finish with the way we will always have the game in hand. Apart from the points tally.

I appreciated it mate anyway!

Happy with this weekend but still can't shake the feeling of disappointment that Leicester equalized in the last minute...

Somebody help me feel more positive please, I feel like I should be happier after today

Today's draw means that, assuming we win all our games (which we need to do anyway), Leicester now need to either beat one of Chelsea or United, or draw with both, to win the league...and that's assuming they win their two home games.

If they'd won today, they'd have been able to basically focus on the home games.

I don't know if that helps...

He should feel positive that Arsenal lost 2 points, top 3 will still be a great outcome.

We've been saying for some time that city beating arsenal would be great, we may actually be hoping for the flipside or a draw. Need to win tomorrow to really crank this up.

I haven't seen Ranieri's interview but I hope thatattitude is how they feel, they've been pragmatic all season, an angry aattitude may play into our hands.

I still believe!

Arsenal TV should be a real hoot tonight

I feel the same. The positivity though is that Leicester and Arsenal both dropped 2 points from a winning position. That highlights that anything can happen.

Imagine if Leicester, without the striker who has scored nearly 40% of their goals, don't beat Swansea. Imagine if Manchester United, with the 2nd best defence in the league, stop them from scoring. Imagine if Everton, who have only lost two away games all season, nick a point. Imagine if Chelsea, the reigning champions and playing at home in their long term captain's final ever game for the club, play out of their skins to spoil the party.

None of their remaining games are easy. Take positivity from that. Their run of straight wins and clean sheets is over. Take positivity from that.

Exactly- people always underestimate the psychology of leading from the front. Very often it's easier to chase from second

Game on I say. We can do this

Oops, didn't see the post you were replying to.

I can actually see the comparison now, both teams had a racist striker...both teams got a lot of penalties...etc.

The "Belgian connection" may help us as well. Both Everton and Chelsea will have two Belgians who are gonna wanna see their mates win the league.

Not sure why should they give a two bob about it.

 

[nferno]

Motivation talk for tomorrow. Slow start to the season, cards were decked against us, but we are gonna finish fast!

 

[fletch82]

Because there mates are gonna shit in there hats and smack the feck out of them if they don't help them out ? Maybe ?
Probably not ?
I would if it was my mates.

 

[Lighty64]

They'll just do the same with Okazaki doing the relentless running.

Okazaki can't do it for 90 mins though

I think today was the turning point for us, Leicester released the tunnel cam on YouTube and all you can see is Leicester after the game blaming the ref.

The reality is, even from an unbiased view point the ref got it spot on today, you could argue the only thing he got wrong was the penalty they were awarded at the end.

The truth is the Leicester players are looking for excuses when in actuality they did that to themselves today, they lost their heads and finally got punished for what they have been doing all season, playing dirty and trying to buy fouls and grapple players like it's rugby.

Their disgust towards the ref was unjustified because he actually got every decision spot on aside from their penalty, if anything they should be thanking him as he saved them a point against a lacklustre West Ham side that didn't even look bothered.

For all the media hype over Leicester the reality is they are a long ball side who rely mainly if not solely on Vardy (who I personally think is a disgraceful human being and I am almost certain he is doping based on his behaviour and his energy levels) and some very dodgy defending that should have been punished long before now.

The pressure is getting to them and I think West Ham found them out today and I believe without Vardy Swansea will get something from that game.

I also believe that the pressure of today will play on their minds and have a knock on effect for the remainder of the season.

I know people say "The table doesn't lie" but I think it does this season and we are a much better team than them, not only in the way we play but also in the way we behave on a football pitch.

It's our time now to take advantage and prove it by winning every remaining game and you know what? I believe we will
so COYFS, let's end this "Fairytale" bollocks once and for all.

If this stays the same, we'd expect City to beat Arsenal now with Aguero and De Bruyne in form, we'd need four points to finish above Arsenal.

This is incorrect. We'd need seven points.

 

[L-man]

This is incorrect. We'd need seven points.

Yeah, someone pointed out earlier. Looked at the table wrong, thought they'd go onto 34 matches but the table was already taking into account Palace result

 

[Sevens]

They are professional footballers. And the banter alone for STOPPING your mates winning the league would be worth it IMO. They won't throw the game to do us any favours. That's absurd.

 

[jedimonkey]

Arsenal dropping points today may well make the Leicester / United game a bit tastier as United will feel they can still get 4th.
