It's largely semantics, but there's also a deeper-lying attitude issue here.
Expectation is a strong belief that something will happen or be the case.
The post I quoted said, "There should not be a title expectation." So, in other words, we should not have a strong belief that we will win the title.
Really? I'd be very disappointed if that attitude transmitted to the players, or indeed if the players had that attitude themselves. They should have a strong belief that they will win the title, because they're bloody good and it is still in their hands.
I'd like to see fans believe in them more too rather than all this "oh haven't we done so well, aren't Man City so rich and so good" stuff. Save that for if what you appear to think will happen, happens. Until then, believe. Expect, even. It won't kill you. And it won't kill them. They'll go again.
