The Title Race - 2023/24

Our opponents really do step it up several notches when playing us. No easy games for us.

Just like they did against Liverpool.

Its the way they play, its pretty much two back lines of 5 every match, no other side faces that.

Bournemouth could have a squeak at the Emirates on Saturday. They're playing well

I haven't liked the fact we've been playing catch up. We keep closing the gap, but we're not able to put much pressure on Arsenal in terms of points on the board.

They beat Bournemouth, pressure back on us for Wolves.

But get through this weekend with 3pts and we have the chance to win at Fulham and put pressure on them. We'd be top by 2pts and they have a night and morning thinking about it, before they play the rags. That ups the pressure on them from setting the pace. It's a different challenge for them having to get a result with the other team setting the pace. If they get through that, then I'll start sweating over Spurs.

Exactly. One game at a time and wait until the result of the Rags game is in before getting concerned. I do hope we need no more than a point from this game though as I fear that's what the result may well be.

i think we have given up on the goal difference to quickly i think if arsenal only squeak past bournemouth, we should go hell for leather for a big win against wolves, we are capable of beating wolves, fulham and west ham by 4+ goals

They play Newcastle three days later at home as well

I didn't realise that, gives them the chance to prop the roof up.

Most of me is still absolutely gutted about Madrid knocking us out, but a big part of me is really thankful that we don’t have an extra 2 games in the next 2 midweeks. We would have realistically found it very difficult to retain our title

Yes, because my post wasn't utterly negative and neither are many others....go look at my post on the game yesterday for instance. I post both sides and feel it's pretty balanced. You just like to jump onto posters you don't agree with....maybe it makes you feel good...who knows.

Because I think you are utterly negative doesn’t mean it isn’t reasoned. Does it?

Most teams do yes, I thought forest though yesterday played the opposite and took the game to us as best they could, They played fairly attacking.

Do I fuck. I am obviously more likely to disagree with posters who disagree with me. I would have thought that was really natural? Perhaps I should start thinking more along the lines of “oh Simon you don’t agree with me so I must have been wrong all along, sorry love x”
