Could well be right.
The big test is when they go behind in a big game and how they react. But having Chelsea, City, Newcastle at home is a massive plus.
Also Norwich away, West Ham away, Crystal Palance away are all very winnable.
I reckon they will pick up 14 points from them. Prob not enough to win it, but they'll go close.
I think Chelsea are fragile at the minute and they are still in the Champions League. One more draw or defeat and I reckon they'll give up on the League and focus on Europe. Liverpool's home game against City is what I think will decide the League and I'd say it could go either way. I would have fancied City a few weeks ago but with Negredo and Aguero out of sorts I think they won't find it as easy to score. Liverpool's defence is also looking a bit more solid. They've kept a lot of clean sheets lately and having Skrtel and Agger together at least means Toure is not in there. Also Gerrard seems to have got his head around what he is supposed to be doing in his role and they look a bit tighter because of this. Having said that you would still be worried that they are capable of losing to West Ham but the way they are blowing teams away in the first twenty minutes makes this a bit less likely than other years. Best title race in donkey's years all the same and I wouldn't normally bother too much with the Premiership.
After the last week of games both the Spanish and English leagues looks like they are in for a great finish
with no threat of a club going belly up ??? BOOOORING !!!

Loved the Killian Brennan 'cheeky bastard penalties' remark. Cant really argue with most of them. Would Roddy get the nod as manager?
"When you sit in row Z
And the ball hits your head
It's O'Connor, Sean O'Connor"
I hate Stephen Rice so much I'm actually annoyed he's in the starting 11
And Brian Kerr is in tears.
I know it would be biased of us to say Croly as manager, but the way he left us didn't go unnoticed by other clubs in the league.
Wanted to ask someone who might know better as well, is there any truth in the rumour that Sky Sports approached the FAI about showing League of Ireland games before they sorted something out with the GAA, and were turned down? Mad if true, likely it's not.
No one in the rest of the league...
"We've seen you come, we'll see you go"
Finally Bayern lost this season, away to Augsburg 1-0. They had 4 players from the U19s starting that I've never heard off. Mad that they won the league in March
Christy Fagan - He scores big goals

Excerpts from Pirlo's autobiography on the Champions League Final in Istanbul against Liverpool. I think we can take it he took it bad.

Stephen O'Donnell out for the rest of the season for Dundalk, huge loss for them, may as well give us the trophy now (well technically just let us keep it but you know what I mean.)
And Brian Kerr is in tears.
massive loss for them. Towell, Hoban and O'Donnell are their main men i reckon
Cyril The Judas
Also Barnsley and Charlton are interested in signing Towell in the summer apparently so hopefully they lose him
And maybe a chance for a second... AND IT IS! IT'S ALL OVER! PATS HAVE WON THE CUP!
Mourinho started his mind games already.
That was a great performance from Real Madrid. Bayern were very poor aswell, played too slowly and played into Madrid's hands by going Gung-Ho from the start. They were only 1-0 down from the first leg, they should have started off defensively making sure not to concede and then gone for it second half

O'Donnell injury not as bad as first feared.
His surgery went well, wonder how long he'll be out for now?
