I'm just glad we seem to be able to score 3 every game, as at 2-0 or 2-1 I'm bricking it!! 3-0 and I ease off the Valium a little, but the nerves return if we concede!
I won't be confident about winning the league until we're 4 points clear with one to play and even then I'll suspect that we'd be docked two points if it meant the scum winning in our place!

However, we CAN win it. We're best placed, have the best squad and are winning games and playing the best football in the PL at the moment.


Sums up my feelings well this.

If you were to ask me... Can we win the League? I'd say yes.
If you were to ask me... Will we win the League? I'd say I don't know, but I hope we can keep our form going.

Can or Will we win the Champions Leage.... No, I'm afraid not! Not this season.

Excellent contribution as ever.

Impossible to have an opinion on whether you think we will win the league?? Hilarious.

I think we'll win the Premier league.

Without the amazing scoring form, we are still ahead on results. We have got back the two points we lost at Fulham by beating the rags & by them drawing at Stoke. When everything unwinds, bad patches etc etc we are ahead.

Everybody says we will hit a bad patch, which may be true, but if you look at the rags' record so far they too have yet to hit a bad patch. If not for us, they would be happy. So the question is; which squad is best equipped to survive if & when it happens ? I think it's us; they have lost two big figures from the dressing room in N*****e & Scholes plus the huge loss of Van Der Sar. Wio is struggling with his own game & demons.

Bar Vidic & Rooney, most of the others are hardly the kind of blokes you associate with a side of champions: Nani, Carrick, Evra, Valencia, DeGea, Jones, Smalling, Anderson, Valencia, Little Pee, Berbatov, Ponce twins, Johnny Evans etc. Are they truly a bunch of people who have dragged the team through hell & come out on the other side as champions ? Really ? Would we want to see those 'characters' in our dressing room rather than DeJong, Yaya, Barry, Milner, Lescott, Kompany, Clichy, Hart, with the talent of Silva, Aguero,Balotelli, Nasri, Dzeko, AJ ? Which dressing room would you expect to be the first to blink out of that lot ?

Their biggest asset is the constant bullshit being peddaled about how they will inevitably become stronger & the fact that the media & even some City fans are helping them maintain the facade; they'll come on strong because that's what always happens. Why should it happen this season ? Why shouldn't they struggle with injuries & crash instead ? Teams who play against them believe this bollox & it's like a goal advantage. Without that belief, they have nothing, they would fall apart. We need to press on it, make them worry about us & destroy the myth.

We have to show the belief we had at OT & respond to setbacks like we did after Bayern. If we do we will be champions.

there is a long way to go and some very tough league matches coming up now, with each win the confidence increases but there is no place for arrogance or complacency. its no way a done deal yet we are yet to see how the team copes with sustained pressure.

I think the game against napoli is a huge game, it will tell us a lot, if we can win against napoli that would mean an huge amount, not only in terms of progressing in the CL but in terms of general team confidence and belief. I really think in terms of the season this game is pivotal.

so will we win the PL i think its 70/30 yes, only if we keep our heads and remain focused match by match.
will we win the CL this season, i would not think so, so for me its 60/40 against at the moment, next year maybe.

I can't see us winning the Champion's Lg but I imagine my opion could just change if we beat Napoli & Bayern & look good doing it. Imo we've been a shadow of ouy Prem Lg selves so far when we've played in the Chump.

Bob says our shambolic tactical display v Napoli was down to nerves though, so it wasn't his tactics that were hopeless but the players failing to do as they were told & losing shape, therefore that gives me more optimism for the away leg.

No matter how much some of you weird masochistic fuckers wish it, we are not the shit city of old and we never will be again.

I'm very confident we will win the league going off our team and the performances they have put in THIS season and the massive weaknesses our title rivals have (scum-midfield&defence. Chelsea - defence&midfield&upfront&thebench&themanagement) that we just dont have. It has fuck all to do with kevin bastard keegan.

Strewth!

What an under-optimistic lot most of you are.

So we've been shite for years, so we've gotten used to the 'typical City' tag and started believing it.

It doesn't HAVE to be that way so fucking ENJOY it.

Will we win the league? who the hell knows? but I BELIEVE we will.

Will we win the ECL? I doubt it but I BELIEVE we CAN.

What part of actual confidence did you fail to understand?

"Because of what the rags have lost, because of history, if we do such and such we'll win."

FUCK THAT, that tempered confidence and as such I say it's not confidence at all but analysis portraying itself as wisdom to allow the possibility of failure and because you are neither hot nor cold, I spew you from mine own mouth.

We do have to actually play the other games first & continue playing well in most of them. They won't award us the title just for being good in 11 & a half of them.

I am confident we will play well enough in enough of those games hence my quote of ' I think we'll win the Premier League'.

Yes it is IMPOSSIBLE for me to decide whether we'll win the league on just 12 games. The next 4 games will be huge in deciding whether we will or not.

Nah, the next few games will only decide whether we start to completely run away with it or whether we have to slug it out more to try & regain the advantage. It won't decide the outcome one way or the other.

I suppose. Liverpool away is no given although we can win there, Chelsea look shocking so I fully expect us to take 3 points there. Arsenal at home would have been a massacre just a few weeks ago but they've really picked up form and with Van Persie in current form it could be a tricky one. As long as we take 6 points, i'll be very happy.
