Its ended up like a 33 frame snooker world final where the last frame is going to be the decider by a re-spotted black and a toss of the coin for who goes first. This is because we have either been in the lead or hung on right to this end. We are down to the rub of the green. We have made this league thrilling for everyone who watches it by preventing a 2 month parade like last year. Literally hundreds of millions will be grateful for this.

Wow

You need to eat more sweetcorn mate.

We could have won it in 13/14 but it would have taken City losing at home to a shite West Ham. It never really felt on. Then we went one down early and by the time we turned it around City were 2 up I think so it just never really seemed likely.

This time they’re away and even a draw could do it for us so it’s definitely more ‘on’ than 13/14 was.

True that. City drawing an away game (18/19) vs losing at home (13/14)

Actually the bookies have us priced at over a 10% chance of lifting the title today. It’s a real chance, no doubt about it.

And we were only give a 5% chance of doing it on Tuesday

Was up with the larks,had full English whilst the rest of the house were still in dreamland,took the dogs on an 8 mile run/walk,had an hour soak and am now about to murder another F.Eng.

Basically trying to do anything but think about the game.However today ends this season has been nothing but a joy and more successful than the personal goal I'd set before we kicked a ball and it would still be that way had we not twatted Barcelona and become the best team on the planet.

We're fucking boss.

"Man City haven't lost on the final day of a PL season since 2012/13, when Brighton boss Chris Hughton won 3-2 at the Etihad with Norwich"

Btw why are people calling this the first time in ages when we have a chance of winning the league on the final day. We were in the same position in 2013-14 too.. needing to win our game and hoping for City to drop points.

I’m one of those people. It was different in 2014. We had that disastrous game against Chelsea and the heartbreaker against Palace. Momentum was gone and I had completely lost faith. Now, after this season and last week, I firmly believe that this can be done.

BOBSCOUSE · « **Reply #16406 on:** May 12, 2019, 10:41:02 am »

I don't even feel nervous about today. I guess my age has something to do with that but I really feel quite at ease with everything. Win the title or miss out by such a narrow margin having secured the third largest points total ever plus having a Champions League Final to play in a few weeks, I'm ready to say we're back on our perch and there's fuck all anyone can do about it. There might be an annoying little blue budgie persistently trying to jump on our perch and stay there but we have turned back into a force with our talons firmly embedded - we're here to stay and that blue budgie can fuck off to its plastic perch below us.

Just gonna get some sun, have a few pints with ye mates and just focus on our game. City are gonna beat Brighton by a few today, just enjoy what you can.

Fabulous_aurelio · « **Reply #16408 on:** May 12, 2019, 10:44:51 am »

The fact that I feel so nervous tells that I beleive it could happen.

There are 180 minutes of football to play and anything could occur.

Wolves will be such a tough game and our lads will be running on fumes and emotions after Newcastle and Barca. If we just concentrate on ourselves and get the three points..who knows, could be the greatest day of our lives.

Lets all pray to the footballing gods!

Us winning isn't doing the impossible. Managing two FEng breakfasts before noon, now THAT is an achievement.

The odds for this to become the best day of my life (so far) are 6/1, i guess anyone would take that after waking up wouldn't they?

Anyone know what time the Liverpool coach arriving - assuming there's a welcome planned today?

meady1981 · « **Reply #16413 on:** May 12, 2019, 11:16:52 am »

Properly came to terms with the chance of not winning it a while ago. In fact probably when city went past us. So pretty serene today. If it happens will be beyond eutopia, if not, well I’m damn proud of the club and on to Madrid. What a season. What a couple of seasons.

Carra23 · « **Reply #16414 on:** May 12, 2019, 11:21:46 am »

They've took us on one hell of a journey this season and they're all Heroes regardless.
IF things don't go the way we want, this squad should be given the best and loudest end of (league) season reception they have ever witnessed.

Fancy Brighton to take all three points today

I can't see a miracle happening today sadly. But at least we have the Champions League final to look forward to.

thejbs · « **Reply #16417 on:** May 12, 2019, 11:27:11 am »

Expecting us to finish 2nd after an incredible season so any other outcome is a bonus. Not nervous. If we're winning and it's 0-0 at Brighton with a few minutes left, then I'll shit my pants.

Andy2508 · « **Reply #16418 on:** May 12, 2019, 11:27:54 am »

All we can do now is win our game and pray Brighton get something at home. Whatever happens, what a season and what a team!

RyanBabel19 · « **Reply #16419 on:** May 12, 2019, 11:32:10 am »

I'm not feeling nervous to be honest. Focus on winning our game and hope Brighton can get a result, its great our season doesn't end with todays game

King Kenny 7 · « **Reply #16420 on:** May 12, 2019, 11:36:31 am »

Would be nice for Brighton to sign off with a Title deciding result in Bruno's last match for the club.

Coincidentally, I am currently just watching one of my favourite films with my wife and Id just thought id share a quote from it.

Inglorious Bastards

Raine:
Long story short, we hear a story too good to be true - it ain't.

Col. Hans Landa:
Sitting in your chair, I would probably say the same thing. And nine nine nine point nine nine nine times out of a million you would be correct. But in the pages of history, every once in a while, fate reaches out and extends its hand. [Long pause; shrugs] What shall the history books read?

If we’re going to win it we’re really going to have to suffer along the way. Can’t see Brighton cruising to a 3-0 win!

gerrardisgod · « **Reply #16424 on:** May 12, 2019, 11:48:06 am »

We’re relying on a decision going in favour of Brighton or a Ludek Miklosko/Andy Cole performance.

Just do our job and what will be, will be.

All the pressure is on City really. We’ve both answered all the questions. One more question left to answer.

I was shitting it Monday night, I couldn't even check the City v Leicester score until full time. Today I'm just waiting to see what 5pm brings - fully expect to see Kompany lift the trophy. If we could influence this ourselves, ie a win regardless of what City do, I would be like I was in the 70s/80's, very confident Hendo would be lifting it this afternoon.

It's only pain.

Alistair Brownlee was unbeatable as a triathlete, and it was his brother Jonny who said that Alistair had an unmatched ability to endure pain. He said that as they got into the 10k run at the end of the race, Alistair knew he was at breaking point. But he also knew that the other athletes were also feeling the same. So he'd run even harder, knowing the others couldn't stand the pain like he could.

That's this Liverpool team.

What an upward journey we've been on since Klopp came on board.
Such an exciting and important period in our history.

feel like its a 5% chance of City drawing or losing today. However that is still a chance.

The nightmare scenario is they draw and we do similar.

Just want us to win today and whatever will be will be. We have been exceptional this season and fuck me we deserve something.
