Why dont you look at us and think "Why cant my team be like Chelsea last season where they grabbed the league by the scruff of the neck right from the start?".. we had an opportunity to do exactly that. Instead we are here saying "Hey, everyone is fucking up, so we are not that bad!"

I'll let you decide which attitude makes you a winner, and which attitude makes you the average joe.
We haven't missed opportunity after opportunity, you're ignoring the opportunities we have taken. Off the top of my head Utd at home which saw us leapfrog them, Leicester away when City had dropped points - still Leicester's only league defeat.

Of course we should have won yesterday but the fact remains we're only a point off the other credible contenders. We cocked up but other teams do too, we'll mess up other games but so will others. We don't have to win every game and never mess up to be champions, while we're still in touch I'll believe we have a chance.

If we had taken the league by the scruff of the neck and were well clear at the top right now I bet you plenty on here would be predicting we'd just collapse anyway. Stop pretending your belief we have no chance of the title is anything to do with our results so far. Results so far show we're in the mix. I understand people's skepticism about our chances and recent form is a worry. As I said, let's see where we are after the City game. I'm not ready to throw in the towel just yet. I don't really think anyone with a winner's attitude would do that when only one point behind...
