The race for 86 points

Kandi1977 said:
I think we'll end up on 81 points. 16 points from the last 8 games. That should be enough to be 2nd. City can get a maximum 82 points, and Liverpool and Arse maximum 81. None of them will win all their remaining games.

When you say it like that it sounds easy
 
Crystal palace,west ham and Leicester all away ,all under lights,all on Sky/bt maybe in a ten day period...if we win all three we deserve to be top. If we implode like last season these are the games that we feck up on......i can see leicester and their happy clappers turning up and doing something against us......

It's already written... The day they draw or beat us will be the day Cheslea are crowned champions. "Returning the favour"... I saw that narrative a mile off

You beat me to it. You can see it coming a mile off. With playing WHU on Friday 5th and United Sun 14th (or even 15th) I can see the leicester match getting played on Weds 10th, meaning 3rd from the end.
If the gap stays at 7 we would have to win at leicester to keep our our hopes alive.

Like you say, I think its written to happen and no doubt Jamie Vardy will drive down to John Terry's after-match party!
 
As I watched Chelsea vs Emirates Marketing Project last night, annoyed that I'm paying Sky and BT perfectly good money yet not getting to see Spurs (again), I realised something. Neither team was actually that good. Sure, Emirates Marketing Project played some lovely football and I suppose Chelsea defended well, but it was nowhere near a classic match between two top footballing teams. There was nothing that made me think "I'm glad we're not playing them this weekend". Even Aguero, of whom I developed a genuine phobia after those hammerings a few years back.

Then I caught the highlights of our match, and we looked good. Incisive, dynamic, even when we weren't scoring.

The future is lilywhite :)
 
There's this argument going on after what Conté said in the press about expectation's around the two teams. I do think that what he said is being misunderstood/misrepresented. My understanding of what he has said is that Chelsea are expected to be at the top because of the financial investment that has been made in the side, whilst Spurs are not because we haven't got the same resources. There are some fans though claiming that our rhetoric of being where we are without the resources is false, because our team is worth just as much as Chelsea's.

This to me is a load of gonads. Yes, if you added up the current value's of all the player's from each of the top teams (not squads), we would probably be in the top four. Some people though (by which I mean opposition fans), seem to forget that we only have these players through patience and development. We don't go out and spend £50-60 million on a player and expect instant results.

Is it fair of these critic's to insist that we are failing right now by not being right up there or are we overachieving?

At what stage do we as fans of the club start saying the same thing and start holding the player's accountable for not winning titles and/or trophies?

Tbf I really enjoy watching City play. They are just so attacking and De Bruyne and Sane have to be two of my favourite non Spurs players at the moment. Incredible talents
 
I had the worst nightmare last night. For some reason I was asleep for a couple of months (it is a dream, after all) having missed all remaining 8 games of the season. I woke up just after the last game to find out we had lost the last game of the season 1-0 to Southampton (I know, we play Hull in the last game, but hey it's a dream). The nightmare part: we ended up tied with Chelski on 86 points and lost the title, not on GD, but on goals scored. To say I was bawling would be an understatement. And not so much because we missed out on the title, but because I felt that after coming so close, the team would feel that "if we couldn't do it this season either, we'll never do it," and that would be the beginning of the break-up of this team with Poch also heading off to another club.

OK, so this was a dream. But what do people think would happen if this actually happened in real life this season? Would it have a negative impact, or would it still be considered something to build on?
