Maybe wrong but City cannot be ruled out...yet!
Also, it all depends on how we handle the next leg of Europa
Keep that cockerel from crowing yet mate
No one suspects the liver bird
Why do I keep seeing people suggest not ruling out City? They are 12 points behind. Even if they win they would still be 9 points behind Leicester.
If Leicester are going to drop that many points then we'd more or less be favourite to win it. Baring a meltdown on our end as well and I don't see both Tottenham AND Leicester doing that.
City can well and truly be ruled out yes. As if they're suddenly going to win all their remaining games, and all the teams above are going to struggle to put any runs together. They couldn't even beat Norwich.

We could have won the title this year but Poch (and many posters on this forum) thought we should try and win everything
Lesta applied their focus on the league and they will get their reward
It's sad that a team that plays such an abmissal style of football will win the title
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Well it comes down to two games really. We scored against Leicester in the first game and allowed them to get back within seconds.
Then lost in the second fixture to a Huth header. If we had just won that second game we'd be top. Fine margins but we couldnt beat them in either match and those count when its your title rival.
Anyway, I wouldn't rule us out completely at the moment. It will be very difficult.
Leicester have struggled in their last four games. Norwich last minute, 1-0 wins against Watford and Newcastle. Drawing to West Brom. It's the points that count but they aren't convincing at all right now. There is hope.
Leicester are slowing, unconvincing performances always catch up with you and Norwich, WBA and tonight is enough evidence to show that it is well and truly game on. If City win their next 3 on the spin they are straight back in it so they cant be ruled out yet
No one wants spurs to win win it playing worse football lets be honest,

Man city are dreadful. They have got no fight as shown at carrot road last weekend. Not a chance in hell they will be anywhere near the top 2 come the end of the season
If we're within 6 points of them the last 3 games we may have a chance, albeit a small one.
Leicester are in a great position and are grinding out results.
We just need to keep winning as many games as we can and keep the pressure on them.
It's the time of the season that teams that have been chit start getting results and ruining accas
Am I the only one that thinks the title is still very much up for grabs, both Spurs and Leicester were expected to win their weekend games, so nothing really changes.
The title is lestas to lose.
We got a much harder run than them and I see us dropping more points out of that. We would need to win all our games to do it.
In more normal circumstances, I'd have said City said goodbye to their title hopes last weekend given how they're playing, but I'm almost sure we'll see a few more unexpected twists and turns before the season's out.
Seems unthinkable that Leicester could lose 3 of their remaining games when they've only lost that many to date, but the comparative inexperience of the current top challengers means we're navigating uncharted waters here. The pressure's building week after week and it's already showing in every performance.
As it is, I wouldn't rule anyone out who's within 9 points going into the last 5 games, especially if it's 9 to Leicester but only 4-5 to Spurs.
Agree with the OP that only Spurs have a chance to win the title. For Arsenal the dreams are over as for City as well.
Leicester have on paper the easier run in. Only the last 3 games for them are tricky but to be honest by then it could be done.

I'd add West Ham at home to those.
Looks like it might well be done before the last 3, but the question is that if it isn't, then the nerves might really set in.
I do hope either Leicester or Spurs do it, but I'm too long in the tooth to think it's all over just yet. Leicester could go into those last 3 games needing just one point and might still not be able to pull it off.
Leicester will drop plenty of games before the last three games, I don't get why everybody thinks them going to places like Palace and Sunderland is going to be a walk in the park. Both are desperate for points, and I see both beating this Leicester side, who have been grinding out 1-0s for a while now.
