    That's been apparent for a couple of weeks now.

    Rodri has a 3 game ban coming up for publically saying the ref doesn't understand what he's doing.

      Bet it's 1 game and timed so he misses Forest at home.

        If they do they deserve to win it

        I watched some of the 2nd half against the bar codes and they didn't look like a team that was going to win them all.

        They came very close to blowing that one.

          If that weasel, Silva, had got the 2nd yellow that he should have done then they would have. Yes, Burn should also have got a 2nd yellow but that was after the Silva one. Doubt he makes that foul if that was the case.

            Leeds (a), Chelsea (a), Bournemouth (a), Villa (h) are games I'd be looking at for a potenital slip up from them.

              And we still have at least two silly draws and a defeat at the Etihad in our locker. City will win the title with 2 games to spare. We will win the Elsie Tanner's Fanny Bandage Shield aka The League Cup.

                They wont every game. But we have to be realistic, they are not going to need to.

                We are left with the appropriate challenge- go to the Etihad and win. If we do that, nobody can have a go at us and call us bottlers.

                If we cant so it, then we probably dont deserve to win it.

                  There is the third option. We win our other 9 or whatever it is, and then just go there and shut up shop for a draw. Play Gabby and Vik for the ball over the top to keep them honest. End the match in a 4-4-2 of: Our first choice back 4 - our 2nd choice back 4 - Zubi 'n' Dec.

                  Bore everyone.

                  {Even better would be then to get a late corner, like Noni did vs LFC but actually score it this time.}

                    It's the final hurdle. Crossing the Rhine.

                    Big away win, big **** off to everyone (including me!) telling us we aren't good enough.

                    Sometimes you have to go and beat the best.

                      That's the thing, P. Us WW1 junkies know you can win without needing the cross the Rhine. Just the threat of it makes them mutiny and sack their Kaiser.

                      If you really want to side track me down this analogy then that game in mid-April is 1916 on the Western Front. We just have to not lose. Then we have it all in our hands. Their ships are back in port post-Jutland, and they haven't cut off our sword - France - by bleeding her white as Falkenhyn planned for 1916, hence his resignation at the end of the year. Cos he knew that a draw was not enough and the war was lost as it was just the run-in from there on in.

                      I would like to spank them there as much as you would. But if you offer me a boring 0-0 there and scrappy 1-0 wins in all the rest, I'd bite your hand off. Hopefully with lots of corners, own goals and own goals from corners.

                        I want to win that game. I want them to know they've been beaten. I want the players to know they can do it, because they have done it.

                        No more creeping around trying to sneak over the line. I want Berlin in flames!

                          I can read The GoF like a book. They have seen this thread, had a chuckle among themselves and decided that we will win 0 - 3 at the Etihad and STILL lose the kunting title

                            Ok, then we go down in flames. Rather that than a whimper. Anything but a whimper....

                              I refuse to google Elsie Tanner.
