Come to think of it, now that Shearer has written off our title chances, does that make the rest of a season a formality...for Man Utd, Man City, Chelsea, and Arsenal as they battle it out to place somewhere between second and fourth?
I don't want to be considered by pundits right now. As Harry said , with one game to go and Spurs being in with a chance then we will be title contenders. Don't need the pressure thanks.
I'll consider us title contenders when we're leading by at least two goals in the match #37 with seconds on the clock and us preparing to take a penalty, if the result would take us four points clear.
Fair comments but the BBC have a duty to the nation and not just to Manchester, and I think to completely write off everyone but the two Mancs was a bit un-BBC, given the circumstances.
What happens if we win tomorrow and City draw with Liverpool? Are we back in it, then? They'd look pretty stupid changing their minds that quickly, wouldn't they?
Well, let's put it this way, if we are not title contenders, then the Gooners must be odds-on for relegation, after this evening's dismal performance
If we make our games in hand count maybe. Until we are within reach of the top then no. Where we are in march will give us a good indication. Priority now is increasing the gap from fifth
He didn't even get a single result right, let alone a scoreline. Villa 2-0 Swansea (0-2) Blackburn 2-1 Stoke (1-2) Fulham 1-2 Arsenal (2-1) QPR 2-0 Norwich (1-2) Wolves 1-1 Chelsea (1-2)
If anything, it's as BBC as you can get - focusing all their efforts on appealing to 10% of the people, whilst ignoring 90% of them, is their modus operandi. Want proof? Nine series of Two Pints of lager and a Packet of Crisps.
And how BBC is that, moving half their programming to Manchester in order to justify building a giant studio in Manchester. Errm, they could've just not built said giant studio and saved a huge amount of money...
That was my point entirely - Sky are just as bad at it, making the Premier League Manchester United plus Arsenal/Chelsea/City, as if the two games between those two decide the title in a manner more familiar to SPL fans. 2010: Spurs fourth, Liverpool seventh 2011: Spurs fifth, Liverpool sixth Looks like we've outshone you in this decade - also, we've won a trophy more recently than your bunch of makeweights with a sense of entitlement have.
