13 points needed from 9 games? Come on! 4 wins, 1 draw, 4 losses, and that assumes City win their last 9 games which if we're being honest, isn't going to happen. it might be a tad tedious but title 20 is on the way. Hopefully, when we win it, we'll start playing with a bit more freedom. It's a poor league but you can only play who you can play so as and when we do win it, let's celebrate in style.

If we win our next four league games then it is mathematically over, as we play city at the beginning of next month.

There's something wrong with your outlook, really.

A poor league, please tell me you're joking. Aside from utd finishing 1st, 2nd or maybe even 3rd every year, this is the most unpredictable league in the world. La liga May have Messi and Ronaldo, but only 2 teams ever have a real shot at the title.

If and when we do win this EPL title will be a momentus success for us IMO. SAF arrived over 25 yrs ago and since then has toppled Liverpool from their perch whilst seeing off the challenges of Blackburn, Newcastle, Arsenal, Chelsea and now hopefully City - one by one. Many (including me) thought City would pose the biggest threat to date, so no matter what the points difference, winning the league back from City will be another important day in our history. So I certainly will be celecrating in style :)

Don't want to get ahead of myself but winning the FA Cup too would just be the cherry on top. Three tough games to go but I'm hoping we can return from the international break a little rejuvenated. It will be a tough game at The Bridge though so one step at a time.

Here's to a good and competetive end to the season!

Chaps, when I say a poor league, there is not a stand out team this year. Everyone has struggled in Europe and even though wel clear, we have not destroyed many teams. I know many disagree, but the standard this year has not been as high as in previous years.

No stand out team because the teams below utd and city have all come back stronger this season, and utd at least haven't struggled in Europe. City can't be criticized too heavily for not getting through their group given the teams they where drawn with. Arsenal did well too, as 4th/5th best team in England, losing on away goals to Munich is not bad. And we're well represented in the Europa league.

Thorne, I love your optimism. Not so long ago we had 3 of the 4 semi finalists. This year, no one in the last 8. I take the point that other teams have got stronger but I can't rate our current team as high as many of our others. I'm delighted with our position but not convinced we are the al thing just yet.
