Title race is wide open this season. No reason why we can't be up there.

Been saying it for ages. I came really close to putting some money on Chelsea winning the league a few weeks ago when they were 125-1. Normally you would say 15 points is too much but they have quality and no one else wants to win it!

Anyone of us, Liverpool, Chelsea and the top 4 stand a chance. We really need to go hard and give ourselves a chance.

Chelsea are too far now I think. Didn't someone work out this week that they've got to replicate their form of last season just to be in with a top 4 chance, let alone title?

I also really, really, really do not fucking want Arsenal to win the fucking league.

It's bittersweet when City lose. I hate them but I don't know ANY city fans, so when they win anything it really has no impact on my day to day enjoyment of life.

Arsenal on the other hand..

Yep that's what I keep saying to myself, I don't mind if City win the league, they're the least dislike able of the top teams and they really ought to be winning the title however I don't want Arsenal or Chelsea or even Liverpool taking advantage, having said that City losing is good for us so....

I guess it comes down to if you're an optimistic or pessimist.

If you think we can overtake City, then it's fantastic they're losing games.

If you don't then the more they win the better.

Hughes really has transformed Stoke, they're playing some really pretty football and with end product.

City are a mess at the back though, an absolute mess...just like Liverpool's demolition of them, which was overblown IMO.

Whilst I agree somewhat, it's mainly about anyone above you in the table losing points is always good

For me the biggest problem of Stoke is inconsistent, they can beat any team if their attacking players do well.

Luckily Arsenal have a fuck-ton of injuries which should keep them within reach at least. I'm really enjoying this season. Chelsea being shite is just the cherry on top

Shitty are embarrassingly bad in defense at the moment, and Bony looks like he's aged about 5 years since he arrived there.

Looks like game for City to me already to be honest.

Look at this stat from Opta 'Man City have not won a Premier League game from two-goals behind since Feb 2005 vs Norwich (D3 L55 since).'
