Agreed. 38 games is marathon. As we're the kings of proving. We chase them down and kill them then force them to watch as we lift their trophy.
I love me some "us." We do it on our terms dammit. When we're fucking good and ready.
Cheers

No you have that wrong. As Romans_bridge pointed out in the Messi thread. We had our titles handed to us. We only won because our main opposition collapsed.......
I wonder why that happened.
Seriously, I agree with yourself and Ted.
5-6 points behind after the ACON, wouldn't upset me greatly.
I predict an even better run in for us, than the previous two titles. There, I've jinxed it.

Chelsea will start to suffer. Would be happy with a draw there but it's never in Pellegrini's psyche, so we best win.
