The thing you need to realise is with everyone kicking off at the same time the crowds will play a part in this
If United get an early goal against sunderland, and the city game is 0-0 then the eastlands crowd will become very very silent and very very tense and they may effect the players, city have already shown this season that they can be effected by nerves
Either way we just do our job don't we, good performance get the 3 points and see where it leaves us, no1 now expects anything other than a city title win
If anything we have no pressure going into this, the only time we will feel pressure is towards the end if we are winning by one goal and city are drawing or losing
I think city will win, and win comfortably, but a draw isn't as impossible as people like you think
Clutching at straws...

COME ON QPR

Stranger things have happened than QPR winning at City, but i get the feeling City will score 3 or 4.The first 20 minutes will be important, if City score early I don't see QPR having a chance.

I know that this is clutching at straws but I remember this happening years ago. That is why it is vital United at least finish off with a win:
The season 1993/1994 will for always be underlined in the history of the club. Not only for the first ever presence in a European tournament, but also for the dramatic loss of the Liga during the final seconds of the season.
The squad was reinforced with well recognized footballers like Donato, Manjarín, Paco, Elduayen, Voro, Pedro Riesco and Alfredo and everybody was just hoping that the previous campaign would be continued. This happened because early December the team conquered the first place in the Liga, had beaten Real Madrid 4-0, and were playing the third round of the UEFA Cup against Eintracht Frankfurt. The Germans proved to be too strong though after Deportivo had beaten Danish club Aalborg and taken their first scalp of a reputated club by eliminating Aston Villa F.C..
With Arsenio Iglesias still at the helm, the team now had the chance to focus on the Liga. And from 4 December on the team stayed on top of the Primera División. The goals of Bebeto and Claudio that season brought Deportivo to the final matchday as a serious title contender. A win at home against Valencia would have been enough, no matter what rivals Barcelona would do.
At half-time the score in Riazor was still 0-0 but Sevilla were leading 1-2 in Barcelona. The season would finish dramatically though as with twenty minutes to go, Barcelona striker Romario shot his club in front and now Deportivo were obliged to win themselves. In injury-time the team were rewarded a penalty-kick after defender Nando had been fouled. As Bebeto had missed one in the previous weeks and Donato had been taken off, defender Djukic stepped forward but missed the opportunity. Barcelona snatched the title away from Deportivo based on a superior goal average as both clubs were drawn on points.

Im dreading this but I can see City being 2-0 nil up within 10 minutes and United getting a draw or leaving it late.

Or if you are 8 up and City 1 up, and you need a 9th to take the title!!

Reminds me of when Chelsea last won it, they had an easy home game, yet there was all this hope and they went on to win 8-1 or something.
Same again, i'm afraid.
Thankfully, I have a 5pm kickoff, so I can quickly forget it (or play with a huge grin, if the miracle happens)
