Despite all the confidence and everything we've down over the season, last 11 games in particular, I still, like many (whether they'll admit it or not) have got a knot in my stomach. Just something niggling at me saying "What if something happens and we lose one game and City manage to win their last 4?", "What if just one minor slip up or some awful luck or a wretched decision cost us what we deserve more than anyone?". "If we lose tomorrow, we could be 2nd by the time we next play?!?!?!?! Get F***ing out of here!"
No matter how calm you stay and how sure you are of something, your mind is bound to ask these questions. I guess it's just a part of what you have to go through to win the league. We know 7 points will be enough out of the last 9. If we knew 6 points were enough I know I'd be feeling A LOT more comfortable! But I suppose you can't argue or feel unlucky when you've won 11 on the bounce while your rivals have dropped points where you'd never had expected them to. I'm supposed to be doing dissertation work but that's gone out the window lately. It's a testament to how much our fans want this more than anyone. I was going to say that's what'll get us over the line, but it's already got us to where we are now. The fans have played their part, and no doubt will continue to, but from this point on, they've done enough to help the team over the line.
Beat Chelsea tomorrow, and we can watch City go to Palace completely dejected knowing that it's pretty much over for them. I still feel Palace next week will be the biggest test of the final 3, but just looking at the fixtures, you'd see why City think Chelsea are the most likely to take points off us.
Win tomorrow, and we know that we can wrap it up next Monday as long as City don't take 6 points from Palace and Everton (both Away). Even if they do, a win at Palace would all but wrap it up barring a F**k up in the final game!
Tomorrow is huge. I don't care how we do it, even if it gives me another heart attack (which I'm almost certain it will), but we've got to win.
Can't. F***ing. Wait.
