Don't want you changing the habits of a lifetime, Nanny ...... the girl that likes to say yes 

Do you know what though Saint me bottles gone now , Its strange though because iv been reading Brian Reades book an when we were winning all them titles back in the 70s an eighties he hit the nail on the head for me when he said it became a bit boring beating teams like Leeds ,Derby, QPR, AN Leicster not forgetting Forest. i know it sounds mad but he was right, we were made up of course we were but it became monotonos, we expected it , we knew were were gonna win it. Thats why for me this season im getting a buzz because i know we are closer than weve been in a long long time.

An ill be gutted an devastated if we dont win it, The players an the manager are in place for us to do it

By the way Saint get that book its brilliant were all around the same age an it takes me back to some of the trips an the things i done. An you must of done an all

I will be getting it Nanny, I was hoping Father Christmas might have brought it me but no such luck.

I know what you mean, but I still believe with the teams we had in the eighties we should have won more (greedy). I think it will feel more like the first time if we win it this season, its been so long since we last won it. For most of the people on here it WILL be the first time

Same here mate.
Since Torres got injured ive been saying the same thing, if we are still on top when he comes back or even within a point or two we have a great chance and I obviously stick by that.
You have to back us to do better with him than we have without him and when you consider we've only the mancs to play away having already played chelsea, arsenal, bitters, man city, villa,spurs and now newcastle away which are all games you would you would look at as potential banana skins is great for our second half of the season. Like I say with a fit Torres there is no reason why we cant have a stronger second half of the season than the first, add to that the fact we always have our season bliip around october/november (this season no different ) before getting it together in the new year, stay true to our form and we've got a great chance.
Fk it ive talked myself round, i'm now officially (and out loud) backing us for the title.

I'm scared to vote that in case I jinx it! 

Can we win it? Yes
Will we win it? Too early to be (over)confident

Remaining Fixtures (And Corresponding 07/08 Results)

Stoke (a) N/A
Bitters (h) W1-0
Wigan (a) W1-0
Chelsea (h) D1-1
Portsmouth (a) D0-0
Man City (h) W1-0
Middlesbro (a) D1-1
Sunderland (h) W3-0
Man Utd (a) L0-3
Aston Villa (h) D2-2
Fulham (a) W2-0
Blackburn (h) W3-1
Arsenal (h) D1-1
Hull (a) N/A
Newcastle (h) W3-0
West Ham (a) L0-1
West Brom (a) N/A
Tottenham (h) D2-2

P15 W7 D6 L2 F21 A12 PTS 27

That would leave us on 69 points with three fixtures that don't have corresponding results from 07/08 to add/play. It was around games 19-25 last season that we really lost any hope of a title bid with P7 W1 D5 L1 PTS 8 - the defeats away to Reading and at home to Man Utd weren't nearly as costly as that little spell - we finished 11 points behind the mancs, we dropped 13 points in that seven game spell. Five games without a win at the start of it came against Man City, Wigan, Boro, Villa and West Ham - teams we need to be beating if we are serious title contenders.


Ask me again after the away game at old trafford. By then we'll be just nine games from home, only Arsenal at home of the 'big four' to play and we'll know IF we're still top and, if so, by how many points. We're now only three points clear, ONE point if the mancs win their games in hand, and that with a trip to old trafford to come. That game could decide the title.

That in itself though will be a fantastic effort, and next year if we are further illuminated, we can build on this years achievements.
