If you look at the candidates for the league now, I feel whoever wins it now it will be one of the most amazing premier league title wins ever.
If it's Leicester, well it speaks for itself, bottom in March last season, would be incredible
If it's us, first title in 55 years, never finished in top 2 since, with the youngest side in the prem
If it's Arsenal, would be an amazing turnaround what with their current form, and clamours for Wenger to leave. Nobody mention negative spirals please
If it's man city, again they are in poor form and haven't won back to back wins since october and are 9 points behind. Plus all the stuff about pep coming and Pelegríni getting dumped
So what is the amazing story gonna be? Should be an exciting last 8 games and I for one am going to TRY and enjoy it! Knowing Spurs they will put us through the ringer a few times but it's just great to be in the mix.
COYS
Amazing title win

All I am saying is we are not a bad side. This season we just don't have any good strikers. Memphis has been shocking not only in attack but cost us goals and made us drop points due to defensive errors giving it away for no reason. Its a miracle we still are only 4 points off 4th spot considering how shocking our season has felt since around middle of November.

What difference does that make in terms of my previous statement? It just reinforces what I said about the teams shortcomings if you keep clean sheets, have territorial advantage, but fail to convert the chances. That's nothing to do with bad luck. It's a pattern.
So clearly that attacking philosophy isn't working if you have more clean sheets but our goal difference is a huge +19 better off than yours. Or would you disagree with that? (obviously)

Mate you're wasting your time engaging with Hafi.

I did start off saying United aren't a terrible side. But having terrible strikers isn't bad luck.
United are where they should be based on performance. So give it a rest with possession and clean sheet stats, they mean nothing if the whole team can't do enough to get the ball in the net or points on the board.

Our problem is against sides in bottom third. Pellegrini is great against those sides. Its weird Pellegrini is poor against top sides but good against bottom sides and LVG is opposite. To be honest it would be a huge upset going by this season if Man City beat Man Utd.

Man City 19th against top third teams didn't realise it was that bad while Man Utd are 2nd with a chance to go top.

So, again, against sides where you have superior possession you fail to break them down?
Not sure if you're trying to argue or finally agreeing?

We peppered the goal in these games.

And couldn't score.
Once is a bad day at the office. Several times is a poor performance.

It will be shiiiit if Leicester win it. Would be a victory for cautious and dull football.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Dull and Cautious?? We have won more games than anyone else and after tonight's game may also have scored more goals than anyone else. (1 goal less than Spurs before tonight's game)
