They’re not dropping the title at Spuds home and I’ll be surprised if they’re closer than 3 goals tbh. understand everyone’s hesitation and fear but if there’s one team you’re relying on to get you over the line it’s City. That’s not even taking into account that their 4 peat relies on it. we got this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa82 Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 I know we are in a good position to fight for the top four. We can decide that ourselves, or that Tottenham lose one out of three games. Good possibility of them losing against City. But imagine if the game against City was this week here, and Tottenham won that game. Then my nerves would be reasonably frayed. With two easy games left for Tottenham, it would be decisive but a win in one of our last games. Think this shows how incredibly dependent we are on a win or at least a draw, for Manchester City. As I don't want to go into the last game knowing that we have to beat one of the form teams away from home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Arse stumble against Manure it’s title gone before they play Spuds. Hopefully Peps and Emery’s friendship helps him in persuading Pep to go for the jugular hahaha This makes no sense. If Arsenal lose Sunday and City have already won, City are 2 points ahead. Beat Spurs and they win the league. By your logic they would for some reason take it easy? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea had 16 shots. Arsenal 9. Newcastle 18. Forest had 13 shots despite losing 3-1. Even in our 4-0 loss, we had more shots - just terrible at finishing with only one on target whereas Spurs scored four of their five shots on target. The last game Spurs conceded under 5 shots was their 3-1 win against Palace on 2 March. Edited May 7 by The_Steve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And in that forest game if Wood doesn't hit the bar from a yard out and they go 2-1 up it could have been totally different too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hypothetically speaking city pump Fulham 4 nil, Arse lose 1 nil to city that total is gone with City only needing a draw against Spuds to be even on points and only a goal behind. Could back themselves to swing that goal by beating Spam. TBF I still think that City will terrorise Spuds but it makes sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catanzaro Posted May 7 VT Supporter Share Posted May 7 I have a sneaky suspicion that we'll get a result against Plop.. I think their players may well assume with our injuries and having to play a Semi-Final that we'll be an easy game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkLillis Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Naturally nerves are kicking in we’ve been here before and lost out. Look back at the early nineties title challenges. To me it felt like we were there all the way till the end but records show we lost it in the last 4 games both times. This can and does happen I’m not suprised the players and fans seem to be wobbling. Ill pin my hopes on Unai being the difference UTV 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 19 hours ago, MikeMcKenna said: i really can't see them beating Citeh and I would be shocked if they even got a point. Hi John, Many people are saying the above but Spurs against the odds have done really well againgst Citeh at WHL in recent years. I am nowhere near as confident as most that Citeh will beat them. I seriously think we need another win! I really hope not Mike! Manchester City had a good record at Villa Park, until this season and fortunately they can't afford not to win the game themselves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apologies for the typo, but you talking about goal difference, going level etc is wrong. On Saturday City win, they go 2 points ahead of Arsenal. On Sunday Arsenal lose. City go into the Spurs game with the chance to win the title by going 5 points ahead with one game remaining the following weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben1505 Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Spurs had 5 tough games in Newcastle, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool an City (to play). I was going to be surprised if they lost all 5.... so I think they'll get something from City... I'm hoping that they drop points to Burnley... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
