7 point lead over City on April 13th and 6 point lead with 3 games left.

No doubt about it IMO.

Newcastle 1995-1996.

Will NEVER be topped.

Manchester United had an 8 point lead over City on 2011/12. That was on level to this. And Newcastle's one was worse.

This is going to be a choke either way. Either City is going to win or Liverpool if City choke against West Ham or Aston Villa

7 point lead on April 13th >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 12 point lead in January.

Gerrard:"if it wasnt for chelsea money, i would have won more titles"

hmm, no bro,

chelsea's money ruined everything   

7 points with no games in hand for City?

Probably


Edit: forgot about all the games in hand.

Yeah I don't think it's all that bad. It's jus made worse by the fact they haven't won the league in over 20 years.

United collapse a few years ago was worse single season wise but nobody really cared all that much because they've won so many league titles

eh? City has been carrying up to 3 games in hand for months now. Liverpool only was up 3 points at one point recently, had been trailing all the time before, if I'm not mistaken.

How is that a choke job

we lost on GD, they will probably lose on points now

plus this means so much more to Liverpool being 2 decades without winning it and all.

Yeah nice trolling completely ignoring the games City had in hand   

The Geordies in the mid-90s springs to mind.

Arsenal have done a bigger choke job this seasons when you consider they've spent more rounds at #1 than any other team. Also Arsenal in 07/08.

How is this a chokejob?

It took us 11 straight wins to get to the top and one loss to lose the top place. City having atleast 2-3 games and a superior GD in hand through out as well.

Not really considering at that point City had 3 matches in hand...

April 13th was Matchday 34. Liverpool had 77 points. When City played their 34th game they had 74 points. So they were only down 3 points at that time, hardly a huge choke job, although a slight choke it was.

In any case the entire scheduling screw ups for the EPL has ruined all sense of suspense for me. You should go into the last 10 matches of the league with all teams on equal footing, not with some having played 3 games less than everyone else... amateur organization.

Like people are pointing out, City had games in hand (two or three?).

Mole gets 2/10 with this thread.

Lmao at ignoring the games in hand. Mole pls

1/10 nice try

Mole's trauma of the 12 point squandered from Keegan circa 95-96 has obviously left him shellshocked to realize City had games in hand during that timeframe

It is for me. Never seen a team bottle like this in history. We should have expected it as they are not used to winning big titles.

Benfica last season are a bigger bottle job.

Atleti in a month even more so.

I mean in a big league. This is just ridiculous. Sad thing is, I actually wanted them to win the title to I just hope Suarez doesn't go to Real Madrid although the prospect of winning big trophies might be to enticing

Point being there is absolutely no chance of this happening.

Aston Villa are a mediocre team lead by a mediocre manager.

West Ham on the other hand are led by an obese manager with 4th grade grammatical skills and knows more about Handegg than Football.

Both matches at the god damn Etihad.

Forget about it.

If it does by some serendipitous happenstance I will have sex with the man in my signature and live to tell the tale.

looooooooooooooooooooooooool

As said already, City had a few games in hand.

Still though I think Liverpool should have done better against Chelsea and also won tonight.

Yeah, you're right, we needed to get something from the Chelsea game. Then we would have closed up shop in this game when 3 - 0 up, now we wanted to keep on attacking because of the goal-difference.
