    Given the City result in a bit seems inevitable, im going to be ****ting bricks next week. Think it basically decides the title.

    Tbh, its not that much of a blow. It would seem a little hollow to lose to City twice and win the title, much like Real last night winning by shutting the door is a far better way to do it.


    I see people are losing their ****ing minds already

    From Red Devil in London, via text: "Our season has imploded at the wrong time. Our over-paid mercenaries do not have the spirit that "Citeh" do. Get SAF out and Mourinho in this summer."
    lol.

    The guy is a fantastic example of a part-time fan.

    Only difference now is that we can't afford to lose at City instead of being able to lose and still be 2pts ahead.

    Very disappointed with Rafael and Evra - although he was unlucky not to make it 5-2.

    There's always one...probably a WUM, but they seem serious.

    Also, City still have to go to Newcastle and play a resurgent QPR.

    I do worry for our defence aganist City.. Aguero and Tevez aganist Ferdinand and Evans who are both lacking in the pace department.

    City still have to go to Newcastle who are in great form and are playing for the Champions League spot.

    We have to go to Sunderland who aren't exactly an easy win either...

    They could slip up there, but so could we at sunderland. A lot depends on next monday, if city win that'll surely give them the confidence to go on and win it

    Sunderland is a tough game but I'd rather play them away than Newcastle atm. I'm just glad the fate of the trophy is in our hands, but we don't need to make it any harder for ourselves than we already have.

    Ferdinand has been a great servant to the club, but needs to be eased out I think.
    If we could take advantage of Pique's bust up with Pep and bring him back over the summer that'd be pretty swish.

    May well do the same. City will win by at least 6 goals today.

    We have to remember that after the derby City have 2 very tough games whilst we will be playing 2 teams who have nothing to play for. City will be playing at Newcastle who are desperate for a CL spot, and then they have QPR on the final day. With QPR knowing that they will definitely stay up should they get a result at Eastlands. Anything can happen with clubs at the bottom.

    Also 99% of the time we bounce back very strongly from disappointing results.

    All I can say is, bring on Monday night!

    Exactly, which is why I really disliked the "advantage City" in the Sky commentary. They don't have advantage. Even if they win today, there's still a three point gap and both teams still have to play each other (at the Etihad, admittedly) and City have a more difficult final two games.

    Is the title race going on longer than it appeared it would two weeks ago? Yes, though I think all of use new there would be further "twists". Do City have the advantage? My arse they do.

    All I can say is, bring on Monday night!
    Very excited, and it's the day of my final university deadline too. After seven years I'll finally be free and get to enjoy the game as a bonus :cool:

    I reckon what they mean't by that is that City have a bit more to play for compared to the looming 8 point gap

    Exactly, they are still 3 points behind with only 3 games left. Where do you think any of the city players and staff would rather be?

    haha nice, hope we can win to make the day extra special
