Once we do that job, without fucking up, I recon the table will look pretty good & I think we'll be in great shape to get something from Chelsea, then beat Sunderland. If we get this bit right, I recon that if & when we do slip up, we'll get the points back because our rivals will also slip up sometimes especially as they play each other.
Two home banker home games; win them & the Champ's Lg will becon, then we can enjoy the cups without extra pressure.

Europa League..We play Aris and if through that, both Kiev games. Get through and we're in the quarter finals.
FA Cup...Villa is winnable as are either Everton or Reading...and we're in the semi finals at Wembley.
Prem...Fulham and Wigan at home should be, as Ted says, home bankers. and maximum points means 55pts.
I fancy Arsenal will take the title by a bigger margin than would seem obvious now and we'll come in 3rd.

After the next two games, I can see people saying, "Oh wait, we can't relax until we beat Liverpool and at least draw w/ chelsea."
The big point for me is that we are able to make it to the Europa finals. It's very do-able and winning that competition would be a huge boost to this club. It would generate lots of momentum going into next season, help us recruit a new player or two, and shut everyone up about "when will city show a return on all the money." It will be a statement that we have arrived and give our squad the ruthless mentality that can only come with confidence.

I always thought that bringing Dzeko into the fols up front would cause us some temporary problem until he assimilated. Most of the season, Tevez has had all the space in front of him as his own. Bringing Dzeko in closed down some of that space and he has had to find options.
Although it was only Notts county, there were good signs that a partnershp copuld be forged and I think it will improve as we go. A couple of relatively easy games (compared to some of the harder and more crucial ones to come) give us a chance to see that partnership settle.
De Jong will return and our spine will be complete again. Just in time for the run in and the last sprint to the finish.
You can now sleep easy and concentrate on the bump that sleeps beside you.
