I don’t for one moment think we’re “back in the title race” but what would it take, I wonder,

[Monty91]

for it to be hard to dispute that we actually are?

Say we made up another two points on them next weekend, knocking the deficit down to 8 points with us still to play them at home. What then?

No but seriously, what the f**k then?

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

They're not going to drop 8 points.

[Classic Jorge]

[Monty91]

12 points to play for, meaning we wouldn't need to win all our games.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Meaning they'll have taken 2 points from a possible 9?

When did they last go through such a patch of form, do you think? 1978?

[Luis Anaconda]

[Monty91]

we can *still* reduce the deficit to 5 points with 4 games to play by beating them.

[Pat Vegas]

The league was won last year with 86

and 2 years before that 89.

it doesn't seem enough. Though the standard of league has slipped.

[Monty91]

but stranger things *have* happened.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

Chances of drawing are quite slim.

I know what you're getting at, but it's not going to happen.
