The 'Run In'

Again I agree with this Debs but I still think Chelsea would likely come to Anfield in hope of picking up a point and catching us in the remaining two games as opposed to coming hell bent on the victory and risking losing the title there and then. City, I think regardless of what happens between now and then will still come looking for the win.

Mourinho will definitely be the more cautious of the two Billy especially if things are still the same points wise.  We'll just have to win more than them beforehand so he has to go for the win and hope his defense manages to keep us out.

Lets start by winning against Sunderland.

Without that everything is just talk.

 

But the thread was created so we could indeed do just that; discuss the run in

Despite City having games in hand, I reckon Chelsea are still the favorites with having the easiest run in (on paper) of any team. Arsenal have gone up sh*t creek the past 6 games so they're pretty much out at this point. We're still the Dark Horse, which is what I prefer to be honest.

Here's an updated fixture list with rescheduled games and when who plays/rests.

Between now and when we play City, we should still be ahead of them. Hopefully they drop points to Arsenal or Man U, meaning we could open up a gap of 6 points or more by beating them, cos they'll leave that game with (still) 2 games in hand on us.

One of their games in hand is right after they play us (home to Sunderland) and the other is surprisingly late - home to Villa, the midweek leading up to the final round of fixtures.

Anyway, here it is:

Another nice thing about our fixture list is how after Wednesday's clash with Sunderland, we have 7 games to go, one weekend at a time - no midweeks unlike the other three. Ideal prep time between each game for Brendan, and the squad seems to be looking better each week with players returning from injury..... Make Us Dream.

Arse are out of it .... not only on points but some tricky fixtures.

City still have a lot to do and also something to go wrong on them.

Chelsea have an easy run.

Win our game in hand ...... then beat the Chavs.

Fixed if for you  woof !

Big week for citeh. IF they win both matches, they will be rightly favourites

However - I cant see them winning both - and I would love to see them dropping 4 points, but only if arsenal suddenly find a pair of 'grown your own balls'

Hard to say Arsenal are out of it completely. If they can get out of their next three close relatively close to the top they'll fancy themselves. I do expect them to drop points against both City and Everton but after that they have a great set of fixtures and they've been very strong at beating the smaller teams both home and away so far.

I think arsenal are now focusing on winning the fa cup, as well as their customary '4th place trophy'. Wenger knows if he cant lift the FA cup this year, with the teams left, then the arsenal faithful will more than likely turn on him.

BUT - all we can do is focus on our games, and treat each one as a must-win, do-or-die cup final.

After watching highlights of Our two away games played this season with Chelsea and Man City I'm more confident We'll beat those at Anfield.
Just have to win all the remaining ones against "lesser" opponents including Tottenham

We're gonna drop points in this run in. We are. It's just a matter of beating Sunderland first. Then Spurs, City & Chelsea. We have to hope then that they drop less points that us.

I can't believe I'm actually putting down words about our chances of a title, I haven't until now. It was always 'next game' etc...

Beat Sunderland!

To have any chance we need to beat city and they need to drop points somewhere else. Arsenal don't look like they have any hope of taking anything from them, which means we might have to shout for f*cking Everton when they play them! We just need to keep this winning run going.

Yeah all we can do is keep winning and hope City drop points somewhere, anywhere. Arsenal look gone cant see them getting anything this weekend against city but down the line we might have a surprise ally in Everton! They might do them at Goodison ye know

The way Everton are going they could pip Arsenal to 4th.  Only 6 behind them with a game in hand and they still have to go to Woodison.

Totally agree Debs, I'd fancy Everton to do Arsenal at the moment. Must admit to I'd really love us to buy Barkley, it wont happen I know but the lad just seems ideal for what we need in midfield. Double raid, throw Baines in too!

Think the top 3 is settled now though, can't see anyone getting near that now and it's just the order to decide.

Exactly Debs, they are moving well and now have the chance for 4th. They will need to beat City to do it, heres hoping! Jesus shouting for utd and Everton in the same season!!

Yep I'd go with that Luke, it just remains to be seen what order it finishes.  I'd hoped that city would drop points somewhere but they seem to be hitting a run of form and barely broke sweat tonight.  It would have helped if they were still in the CL and/or FA Cup but strange things have happened this season so who knows.

Weird ain't it mate but it's needs must now.

Bloody f***ing Scums, no self-pride, cant even draw the game against Citeh 

All our hopes on the weak gunners and the bitters to at least salvage a draw against this City team.

Need Wenger to park the Arsenal bus at the weekend now

Was just about the post something similar. 2 games where we were hoping the opposition would take at least a point off them would have gone by after the weekend so Arsenal getting something at the weekend is so vital. The only difficult games they would then have arse us and Everton.

I take this back. They're out.
