Plenty of time yet... form isn't that bad.. United have to go to Blackburn, 2 wins in last 8 there for us.. so not a great hunting ground.. but if we win then City have a big game. But look at Aresenal today, V QPR, who we play after B'burn. Look at the form table, Wigan, Blackburn and Bolton all OK in terms of form..
There's 2 points in it and you've a superior goal difference. So if we draw at Blackburn, all you have to do is win and your remaining games..
These points could yet be crucial. you've saved 5 points in the last 3 games by winning or drawing when behind with 10-15 mins to go. They've clearly still got spirit. It may not seem much but that's kept you in the hunt.
Its what United did, we just kept touch with you, kept scraping points and eventually your dropped points.. and I think that'll happen a few times yet.
Re: Tonight's football thread
Using the BBC predictor, you heard it here first....
Top 4
Man City 89 points
Man Utd 88 (blowing it by drawing at Sunderland on the last day)
Arsenal 77
Tottenham 75
Bottom 3
Aston Villa 34 points
QPR 34
Wolves 22
Re: Tonight's football thread
With City's only average away form I don't see em getting many points from Arsenal, Newcastle or even Norwich.
United by 2 points for me.
But I hope city win it. Everyone should have a turn.

Tick Tock, tick tock :wink:
Re: Tonight's football thread
2-0 against Blackburn.. we dominated but they probably had the better chances, some good saves by De Gea.. but 2 very good late goals won it for us.. need to beat QPR now as a draw gives them some impredtus again.. If we can beat them, and then they drop points at Norwich I think that'll be enough..

If we beat arsenal we can win it as I reckon you'll slip up at wigan. We just need to win all our games upto the derby, the winner of the derby will win it in my opinion.
