Yeah but stranger things have happened in football. Look at Ba's goal just now for Chelsea against 10 men . Kick and rush at it's best and a deflection past the goalie.

Don't think you can count mate. If we win all we only need the dippers to draw once.


Saw that afterwards. How embarrassing.
Sorry fellas, temporary insanity methinks after that game, I'm ok now ;)

They are without Suarez and Henderson next week , if i am not mistaken.

if so, Liverpool will be happy. they wouldnt want Suarez suspended vs. Chelsea. that wouldve helped us though.

however, if theyre without Suarez, Sturridge (whatever his injury is), and Henderson vs Norwich then maybe just maybe.
although they can play Sterling up top and bring in Lucas and Allen or Moses.
I'm not really a City fan. I'm just here for attention.

Chelsea at home is anybodys

Palace away should be a won

Newcastle last game is a banker

Conclusion is I think they will now just scrape it as I am not convinced we will win last six. Hope I'm wrong big time though, but based on opening 45 I just don't see it

I agree whole heartedly football is a funny old game and there are surprise results frequently. I just cant see dippers, having got into the position they have, fuck it up at Norwich. Chelsea, however, is a different ball game, and if they are going to drop points, this is the game

Norwich need to get a point next week. Or they are going down i think.So with a new manager, who knows what they will do.

Agree to have different viewpoint. Gentlemans bet on result then next week? Winner gets a bit of pride?

Sturridge went off injured today don't forget, & has always been made of glass.

Liverpool have had pretty much everything go their way for a period of months now, let's just see how they do now the pressure is on.

Note that Suarez was back to being a complete diving fucking headcase today. Mourinho will note that.

The scousers will win all their remaining games,City won't get another point this season,Aguero and Kompany are off to Barcalona,Silva's going to the swamp and Pellegrini is being replaced by Moyes.

Almost as much nonsense as the rest of this thread.

We fucked up today, again, agree with guv11, last ditch tackles, no real awareness or cover. But the individual fuck ups will cost us, there seems to be always one defender with a nightmare in the bag. Who's the defensive coach or did Mancini take that ideology with him.

He sent it to Fiorentina with Savic.

Remember folks, when we lost to Arsenal 0-1 ?

Utd had the title in the bag. We had 6 games left including having to play them home, plus Newcastle away ?

You can have the best defensive coach in the world,hell have the 3 best, but he does not stop a great defender making a simple mistake.

all we need is for us to win our remaining 6 games and, at least, have Chelsea and Liverpool draw.
we need Liverpool to at least go 3W 1D is their last 4. Even if Chelsea win out and beat Liverpool we still win by 1 point.

so, if we win all our games, our best hope is for Chelsea to win out. it'll take points off Liverpool, but more importantly itll give Jose belief and hopefully force him to keep playing strong sides in the league (i.e. vs Liverpool) and not only prioritize the CL.

but even if Chelsea and Liverpool draw that's a good result for us.

We need to win all our matches including Everton ( a big question mark here) and Liverpool to drop 2 points to Chelski or anyone else and we'll win it !
Mathematically (I love this word when it's applied to football) it can still be done !
