    maybe so but also a lot of our goals are either just making the game sure (3rd goal yesterdya) or having to chase a point or 3 points cos we are not able to finish or concede first lol

    Newcastle 1-2 Liverpool (unreal win with only 10 men)
    everton 2-0 2 goals in last 15mins, second last in extra time as everton chased equaliser
    Luton 1-1. very late equaliser
    city -1-1 equaliser in 80th minute
    Fulham 2 late goals to win 4-3
    Sheff Utd 2-0 - Laste finsiher by szlobo
    Crystal Palace 1-2 Liverpool 2 last 15mins goals to tunr defeat to victory
    Burnely 2-0- another late gao lto finihs the game in 90th minute
    Newastle 4-2. 2 goals in last 15 (3 in last 16) with them socring to make it 1-1 and 2-2
    chavs 4-1, just a late diaz goal
    Burnely 3-1 another late goal on the break
    brentford 4-1 another late one for gakpo
    luton 4-1 more late action for a sub, elliott
    forest 1-0 turned a disater to a win with a very very very late away goal by nunez
    sheff utd another 2 in last 15.

    If you look at our games it really is a case of not lying down rather than too many dominant displays or games won quicky.

    We are seeing subs make an impact but having to constantly go to the well to get that result. in reality though look at the teams. theres a LOT of lower half sides we are battling to get that result off and we are giving them a goal then battling.

    by contrast the 7 draws we have

    Chelsea- Fell apart after 20mins - a new side so understandalbe. if salah socrethat 2nd goal it might well have been a rout
    Brighton - could not hold the lead
    luton - had to battle for that point (see above)
    city - had to battle for it (see above)
    man utd - ****houses only played for 0-0 we couldn't score and wouldn't if we were these still
    Arsenal - robbed by dodgy ref and var call but prob a fiar result
    Mn city 1-1 again we should have been hammered but dug in and ended up having a good period second hafl

    See the trend? Theres only 1 bottom half team in there and we are battling hard for the point at all.

    Losses?

    Spurs? day light robbery by a bent ref. I don't care he was absolutely disgrace.
    Arsneal - they desreved the win all day. well beaten.

    LFC have Man Utd, West ham, Spurs and villa left in the top half (3 away). Our record suggests that we will have a massive battle to get 12 points there.

    LFC have Palace, Fulham, Everton and Wolves left i nthe bottom half and 1 of thse will have relegation dogfight and 1 a half sniff at last european place. We will have to fight for the 3 points there. OUr record right now is played 16, won 15, drawn 1 and thats why we are top. we've battled and scraped the 3 points up and down the country.

    We will have to go to the well time and time again as we don't seem to be able to put the chances away and cough up real goal chances to these sides.

    We are where we are through sheer bloody mindedness and work IMO.

    Now might be a good time to point out the first time City beat us to the title was on goal difference.

    Yes, I remember laughing at that for quite a while.

    I've already said it's not impossible, but it's the least likely of all the possibilities. We have to prioritise just winning the games rather than go goal chasing. You could help by coughing up another 7 on Sunday though.
    Go on, you know you want to...
