      Was not feeling good about this Season after last nights result against those bus parking Cu*ts but my spirits have picked up immensely knowing Fernandinho got injured. Hope he's out for the rest of the Season. Now I never hope that on an oppo player but HE is there key man. He was out for 3 weeks earlier on and they fell in a sh*t and dropped points. Let's hope the same thing happens this time.

      Come on Lads, it has to be our Year.

      There's every reason to feel good about ourselves. Let's not depend on those guys to feel good. What we feel or see may not become true especially our fears. Few could see Rafa doing one over them.

      We depend on ourselves. It's ours to lose. Besides we don't play them anymore. We go into every game feeling good.

      Simple now. We match or beat city result for result, and they cant overtake us

      They can win every game 6-0. As long as we win 1-0, or 2-1 or 6-5 - we win

      And with no replacement for Fernandinho, their next few games suddenly get more interesting

      West Ham on Wednesday could be a tricky game for them, mind you so could Watford for us!

      I think if we can get 6 points from Watford and Bitters then things are looking pretty good again, but more than that I want to see us get our swagger back. Klopp has to get the right balance between attack and defence and that comes down to midfield choices, we simply have to start playing either Keita, Shaq or Ox (when available again) in an advanced role to have someone linking up with our forwards.

      Once we get through this week - we only have 4 Away Games left:

      Fulham
      Southampton
      Cardiff and Newcastle.
      Granted we all know St James can be a difficult place to go - but nothing too scary.

      One of my worries is that teams are now setting up against us like San Marino - They know what will happen if they try and go toe to toe with us - and then they celebrate like they've won the world cup if they nick a point  :mad:

      I just find it odd to even consider our rival for the title a better team when they are clearly not. Even the game at the Emptyhad was a game we could have won if the Ref hadn't bottled it.

      Seems those creaming over the "amazing City" have gone into hiding after their narrow home win against West Ham through a soft penalty. If City produced our performance last night, you can bet your house they would be running around town with their d*** in their hands.

      I for one have been saying for a while that Citeh are running out of steam and I also think the CL will be a big distraction for them. Its impossible to know what will happen BUT if we play liek yesterday for the rest of the season then we win, its as simple as that.

      We have 3 tricky games left, Bitters away, Spurs and Chavs at home. The Bitters game you just never know, its always a tight game but I actually fancy us to demolish them on Sunday, they are playing sh*t at the moment and we are getting a head of steam again. Spurs and Chavs at home are both very winnable, both those teams are off colour at the moment.

      Bournemouth were a shambles at the Emirates last night. Hope Howe course-corrects his team for the weekend and take advantage of the Kompany-Otamendi pairing and a slightly weaker midfield.

      The press said they looked tired last night.
      A couple of key players currently missing and probably a couple more to fall by the wayside yet.
      Heavy duty fixture list for them to get through.... its going to be a big swamp.

      All we have to do is make sure we don't f**k it up.

      Just looking at City’s fixtures and to me it feels like they have the easier run. I can only see United being able to take points off them, maybe spurs.

      We however have Everton away (you know those cu*ts will do anything to F**k it up for us either by injuries, soft pens, etc) and both Chelsea and spurs at home - that’s tough.

      It’s going to be F***ing excruciating watching this run in, I can not believe we are only one point away from these cu*ts even though we are having probably the best prem season I can remember.

      Agreed mate. Nobody is denying City are a superb team, I'm not disrespecting them at all. But last night we showed our natural game and we're as potent if not better at attacking then they are on their best day. What gives us the edge in my opinion is that we are more consistent overall with a superior defense.

      Having Fernandinho out for a few weeks whilst a congested fixture list is taking their toll as you say. Honestly, if we trash the bitters on Sunday, it'll be a big dent to their confidence and tiredness will prevail. They'll run out of steam. If we drop points, it will revitalize their resolve.

      But, judging by last night's performance, will wipe the floor with the blue-sh**es.

      City are not that good away from home. I guess Bournemouth game will show that. Hope that they take the game to them, as without Fernandinho, they are vulnerable.

      I'd say the run ins are pretty even. City have more away games and I'd rather play Everton than United. They do have it easier at home though and I'd expect them to get 4 wins from 4 at home.

      To be honest I fancy us to win our remaining home fixtures as well as I don't see this mini bounce from Chelsea lasting long and Spurs are just not quite right at the moment.
      Its the Everton game looming large for us, they will throw everything at us in that game but if we play with even half the passion we did yesterday then we should win it easily.

      Still hoping we can hold on, but the thing everyone seems to miss about the City-West Ham game is regardless how they gained the victory the still won even playing poorly, we only drew v.s West Ham playing poorly...

      So yes we need  a big performance vs a Everton team that will be determine to deny usu no 19 and hoping to give us a blooded nose along the way

      Utd will presumably be in the hunt for 4th place when that game takes place.  Do they go for the win in hope of a CL spot, or roll over in hope that City overtake us at the top?  How funny will it be to see their fans inner turmoil manifest itself in front of our eyes?! 😎

      ;D... If you knew me then you know that's the last thing i do in any situation... Just pointing out that out of the two of us v.s. West Ham City came out of it the best

      I view it as City has two potential banana skins Spurs and Utd, while we have four, Everton, Spurs,Chelsea and Newcastle Plus we both have those fighting for premiership survival to contented with. Those were every point counts and are all to willing to come out and defend for the 90 mins plus...

      Just acknowledging the reality of the situation is all  :)

      Irrelevant

      City lost to Palace
      We've beat them twice

      City lost to Newcastle
      We beat them

      City lost Leicester
      We've drawn and beat them

      Those are either equally irrelevant or the same as the above and part of the bigger picture. But to say we drew one against one they beat serves no purpose unless you look at the whole lot

      And guess What? Look At the whole lot currently? We're above them

      Just admit you're a glass half empty type of guy

      So if we draw our 4 banana skins & City loose theirs, where would that leave us?

      So the fact that City got a penalty that was never a penalty in a 100 years, had nothing to do with it then ?

      Still in our hands and we're still top of the League so why can't people just F***ing rejoice in those facts?

      Honestly it's F***ing embarrassing seeing Liverpool "fans" trying to find any reason to doubt us and our chances of winning the League.

      I think they're too scared to believe and then have it taken away from them, in all honesty with good reason considering our run in finals recently and the last time we went for the league.

      Me personally, I am going to take each game as it comes and hope for the best!
