Our Defining moment 28 days four matches 12 points.

What will the outcome be? In my opinion the only must win is on the 17th but that must be accompanied by a draw at Chelsea.

Hopefully on the 17th of April we will be at Wembley for an FA Cup semi.

They're all must win games, we need to keep ahead of Chelsea and Spuds so games v's Liverpool and Sunderland must reap the full points!

Potentially 19 games in a little over 9 weeks with success in both cups. If they are tired now, they will be at the end of that. There are a couple of international dates as well, for which our players should develop injuries/sickness for as many others seem to do. That could give them a little respite for recovery

I think it's impossible to tell as we just don't know how our rivals are going to play from one game to the next. If Chelsea steamroller over us, we can safely say they're the real deal but I'll be very surprised if they do. Other than that, can we ever safely predict that any of those teams won't drop points away from home against any team at any time or alternatively can we say they won't beat any team at any time ?

Anyone can beat or lose to anyone, anytime, apart from the rags don't lose at home, so far...

Nail biting is really unhygienic. Use clippers ffs people.

I can only recall a couple of seasons in my time supporting City that the end of season run in has not being a nail biting experience. Of course, it was usually at the other end of the table trying to get to 40 points or looking for promotion from the Championship.

Out of the two I would say that competing at the top of the table is way less nail biting than trying to stay up.

I'm just glad we have something to play for - those couple of years when the last 5-10 games meant nothing were the most boring way to end a season.

It's better to have everything to win rather than everything to lose certainly but to me, so far, the atmoshpere around the club doesn't feel the same as it used to when we were competing to win stuff in the old days. The club still has a feeling, albeit not as intense as the relegation battles, of avoiding failure rather than chasing success. Hopefully that will go when we get through the next round of cup games.
