Let's just say everything goes according to plan but we still get the average five losses before the season's over, to whom and where would you rather lose it?
Tottenham away (so as to contribute to them taking fourth this season and overcoming either Arsenal or the Rags)
Bournemouth away (because it seems impossible to not like their manager)
Newcastle away (because we're bound to lose to them sometime and it might as well be this year so that we can get it over with and continue to batter them for the next 15 years or so before we lose again. Also, I have a soft spot for them.)
Tottenham home (Same as above)
Bournemouth home (because it seems impossible to not like their manager)
FFS where were you in 1981 man? Nobody who lived with the scars of that could ever suggest it be a good idea that fucking Tottenham fucking Hotspur do the double over us!
Let's just settle for maybe losing three somewhere along the way and not to the Rags or Scousers. Or Chelsea. Or anyone twice.

I honestly don't think I could live with any club doing the double over us as we won the league. For the next year we'd be hearing "did the double over the champions last year" in every game. When Chelsea won the league and we were the only side to defeat them(1-0 Anelka pen) the following season that was brought up so many times, seemed like in every Chelsea and every City game it was mentioned....it was awesome. However I bet it annoyed the fuck out of the Chelsea fans as would Bournemouth doing the double over us, for the following year.

This, and not just because of 81. Every time we seemed to get somewhere in a cup we'd end up drawing these and lose. We were unbeaten at home in Svens season til we got Spurs in the lc quarters. Oh and they poached Paul Stewart as well. I now enjoy wiping the floor with this lot at every opportunity especially when 3-0 down at ht.
Balotelli......that's a brilliant finish.

I wasn't even born!
"I used to be 6 foot 2 with curly hair, look what it's done to me"
"In my career so far it's the most important goal. You score the goal in the last minute to win the title. You're not sure if that's ever going to happen in your career again. I wish I could tell you how I did it but I can't. I thought for all the world that Mario was going to have a go himself but he just moved it on one more and it fell at my feet and I just thought: 'Hit the target, hit it as hard as you can and hit the target.' And it went in."

That was sweet, so were the thrashings we've given them the last few years. They'll be glad to see the back of Dzeko :D

I hope our great form doesn't soften the players up. There will be games when shit happens and we feel like we're getting robbed. Those are the games that will test our balls.

i really hate having my balls tested. Especially the one where they ask...which is better...A or B. A....or B. Or about the same. Fucking painfully challenging.

If, in a hypothetical, end-of-season situation, we had the title won, and loosing would mean our opponents
finishing above you-know-who (maybe even sending them down!) , then , yes, I'd have a mischievous little snigger if we somehow managed to contrive to loose . . . .
Who wouldn't ?
