I like this feeling of winning by not even playing.

However there are still lots of games left and we need to keep winning right up to the end.

Unexpected gift there. Head's down and we need maximum points tomorrow to capitalise. Let's grind these ba*****s down.
The fans here are the greatest in the land. They know the game and they know what they want to see. The people on the Kop make you feel great - yet humble. I'm just one of the people...

Incredible, they have scored 30 goals without reply, and then go ahead, and lose. Brilliant
It changes absolutely nothing for us though. We need to win no matter whether they won, lost or drew.

Wow...

Their first chance in ages at playing first and putting the pressure on and they've royally fucked it up. Looked really poor tonight as well to be fair, Newcastle were awful for an hour but city never looked in any danger of getting a second. Three tough games coming up for them now but it has to be said that arsenal and Chelsea of late should be fairly easy pickings...but you never know.

The margin for error grows wider but we have to keep digging in. Tomorrow will be a really tough game, Leicester haven't been great but they've got players who can cause us problems especially with Virgil out. We will have total confidence however, what an opportunity. Huge night ahead.

Arsenal and Chelsea are scrapping for 4 the with United. No easy games for anyone with those at the bottom scrapping for survival.

win and make it 8. That means we could still lose a couple of games and still be ahead.

If we win it’ll be 7.

Not if we continue to win our matches it won't be. But this is the problem with people who keep on looking ahead all of the time and worrying about what City are going to do. Take each game as it comes, don't even think about what City may or may not do. Just concentrate on ourselves we cannot influence what happens with City but we can with our own team. Otherwise we may as well hand the title over now.

Yes indeed.

Exactly. 15 wins to go, City is irrelevant.

This is how I've handled the season so far. Think it was Wolves or Palace that beat City but I didn't hear about it til the following day, suddenly we're 7 points clear. I was positively shocked.

Seems we need to ignore what they're doing and simply carry on supporting our team. Let's face it, when we kick off, nothing else really matters, does it really.

Not that I don't understand the appeal of this or anything. But you lot missed a hell of a night if you really meant what you said.  ;D

The Arsenal and Chelsea games just became a lot harder for them though because the pressure is a lot more. They were expected to beat Newcastle and find it tougher against Arsenal and Chelsea.

None of it alters the fact that if we want to win the title, we have to do it ourselves. We are in a great position providing we do the business from now on in.

Of course, nobody is saying otherwise. But whether you "care about City" or not, nights like these do add to the fun of a title race.

Always said Newcastle would proved to be the title decider, not some unheard of team like Everton.

Rafa setting the team up like a European competition and schooled Pep. No different to how he set us up against Ronaldinho's Barca in the Champions League.

I get that, the only thing which is depressing is some people just seem to think City will never lose. Which as we've found tonight is not the case.

Listen to BT trying to say the ref was in the wrong for disallowing the City goal. Ref clearly says wait for my whistle, should have been disallowed and rightly yellow carded.

Not just that but Chelsea and Arsenal will be desperate to get a top 4 finish if they want CL qualification as well. It's a "mini-title" race of its own for the 3rd and 4th spot with only 2 points separating 4th and 6th and Spurs a bit in front of that. The next stretch of 2-3 games could really derail their title challenge and also open up the CL qualification spots. Meanwhile we have somewhat 'easier' opposition. We need to keep doing our part. Starts with a win against Leicester. We have to be very wary of complacency. After the next 3 games, we have a really tough period and also have the CL to be in form and ready for.
