but after next Sunday they will have played all the top five (themselves) excepted away from home. Arsenal I thought had an easier run in until I looked at their fixtures, and they are in my opinion tougher. The away form is going to be crucial
Spurs have to go to Man City, West Ham, Chelsea and Liverpool of the so called toughies, but with their away form nothing to fear.
Arsenal still have to travel to Man United, Spurs, Everton, Man City and West Ham, far tougher in my opinion.
I have been taken it one game at a time, but I peeked and feel a lot better now. I was of the assumption that it was only Spurs that had a tough run in.
Even Leicester I think have to still go to Arsenal, United and Chelsea I think, so I don`t think we should be handing the title to them just yet. I haven`t looked at City`s matches, I think they want to concentrate on the CL. Don`t see them as title winners now. They are too up and down.
Still all to play for. I only glanced at today`s matches, Arsenal apparently were poor although they won, can any poster confirm, and I tuned in for the last 10 minutes of the United game. Good equaliser that for Chelsea. Mind the gap United.
I thought Spurs had quite a tough run in

I've given up going through the fixtures and seeing "easy" ones against teams in the bottom half. EVERY game is there to be won and there are no easy games on paper, teams always lose points in unexpected games.

Spurs had a superb record against City before they won the lottery and became a new club. I think Everton could do us a few favours as we've played them twice and I can see them putting a serious run together.

Spurs just need to keep playing their dominating high intensity football, and the results will come, Man City have a lot of ageing players, and I doubt they will keep up with a resurgent Spurs.

Last game of the season could be interesting. Leicester are away at Chels. Can just see the chä v$ bending over rather than letting Spurs have the title, if we're in the running that is.

Man U are 7 points behind us in 5th. Our first priority is to stay ahead of them and finish in the top four.
If we finish higher than 4th then its a huge bonus, yes we can win the title but first things first.

Don't cry, I said the same thing yesterday and got berated by chronic for being negative. All along our aim is/was to finish top 4. We are in with a chance of the title and that's brilliant but I would still be very happy to just get a CL place. If we go on and continue to battle for the title then superb. But right now priority is to stay as far ahead of manu as possible leaving them with barely any chance to overtake us

Yes buddy, at the start of the season many of us predicted we would finish 5th/6th, we wanted to see better football and for us to tighten up in defence.
So far unless we have a huge drop in form for the last 13 games + then we have achieved this.
With Chelsea and Man U having poor seasons and City and Arsenal far from convincing there is a real opportunity to win the title and we are as good as any side in the top four.
Its baby steps at the moment and the old cliche of taking each game as it comes and try and win as many games as we can. Our primary achievable target at the moment is to retain our top four place ahead of United. Hopefully we can cement our top four position with a few games to go and then see what happens.
Some might see it as being negative but its all about making sure we get in the champions league. If we don't then it would be a disaster considering how well we have done.

I think Man City will still claim the title - somehow - I've just this feeling in my gut.
It's not appendicitis, I think...

One game at a time. Keep head down and work hard. Time to look up and see where we are at the end of the season.
Yes, Leicester may tank and we win the title.
Yes Citeeh may beat us and we're back look at fourth.
Yes, the Arsenholes could win it ahead of us.
There are no easy games in this league, none.
And we've lost Vertongehn and N'Jie.
So, .... one game at a time, lads. COYS
