The Title Race - 2021/22

[wolviedinho]

The table won't lie at the end of the season. If Liverpool win it, it'll because they deserved it. Likewise for us.
We've no divine right.

We are more than capable of going on yet another strong run.

Yes we do. We are United! oops sorry thought this was sadcafe ;) (note to self, take more care when posting on a fans forum).

I'm loving this tbh. A title race is awesome and we've one our fair share of very very close ones. Lets go blues

A title race might be exciting against Chelsea or Arsenal or whoever but against these odious cunts it’s fucking awful.

And as if know one expected this,the candleburners are a very very good side they will chase us down till the last kick of the season

I'd love to see dippers climb to the top and collapse on the last matchday.

That would be great but I pray it doesn’t get to that point

and I’m not remotely religious

Wouldnt be suprised if we won the next 12 !

City win 12 in a row and we're all singing Bernardo.

I think the result on Sunday could be huge. If Chelsea win, the Liverpool confidence could drop. They have some difficult games upcoming....Brighton away, arsenal away, Southampton away and obviously us. Hopefully we can have a 7-8 point gap at the end of our game with them

League is gone blues. It’s over. No point moaning. We can’t compete with the bestest team ever.

 

[dublinblue12]

If we win more of the remaining games than they do we will win it

 

[Bluemanc100]

Wouldnt be suprised if we won the next 12 !

We might need to

Best two teams in the World right now and it could well come down to the game between us.

As it stands we are still 72% to 28% favourites and 87 points wins it.

Well this past week n half has sucked. Hope we go on one of our long investing runs. I am guess the game against them will decide the league

I don’t think that game between the two teams is the one that will decide it anymore. A few weeks back I thought it would be, I thought if we went something like 11 points clear with a win against them it would be over.

But it’s too close now and could be even closer by the time it comes round (I reckon we’ll be level on points going into that game). Like 2014 when they beat us in April, there were still loads of points to play for, and there will be after we face each other in April this year… there’s 18 points to win or lose after we play each other.

I think our one big unbeaten run is over for this season, and we’ll drop a few more points this season. But I also think Liverpool will drop points n’all. I don’t think either team are as good as they were a few years ago and I can’t see both teams going win-for-win-for-win to end the season.

 

[Coatigan]

My opinion no because we haven’t got VK and VK was the glue in that 14 game win.

He only played like in the last 5 games

 

[Winchester]

Is any one having doubts???

I think you may have been Clarkied !!

The race begins now, even games left (although we'll be 1 in front after this weekend).

CITY (63 points, +46)​	LIVERPOOL (60 points, +50)​
Everton (A)​	West Ham (H)​
United (H)​	Brighton (A)​
Crystal Palace (A)​	Arsenal (A)​
Brighton (H)​	United (H)​
Burnley (A)​	Watford (H)​
Liverpool (H)​	City (A)​
Wolves (A)​	Aston Villa (A)​
Watford (H)​	Everton (H)​
Leeds (A)​	Newcastle (A)​
Newcastle (H)​	Spurs (H)​
West Ham (A)​	Southampton (A)​
Aston Villa (H)​	Wolves (H)​

Teams in the Top 8.
Team between 9th - 13th.
Botton 7 (Teams I would consider relegation candidates).

On that basis the fixture list is with us.


Corresponding fixtures last year (of the games remaining this year):

Team	Played	Won	Drawn	Lost	Goals F	Goals A	Goal Dif	Points
City	11	7	3	1	18	7	+11	24
Liverpool	11	4	4	3	15	14	+1	16

Didn't include Watford as neither side played them last season.



Conclusion, we've had a harder run of games and sit 3 points clear of them with the advantage of having to play them at our place. It could become like 2018/19 where both teams kept winning but as it stands right now, we're sitting prettier.

Is any one having doubts???

nope,not here,were 3 in front level on games,sooner be in our position than theirs

I'm going to get battered for this but I fear we could be behind by the time we play them. Everton is a tough game they're fighting for their lives. The rags and Palace,like Spurs, our style of play suits them. Forget the game at the swamp they have improved since then. I looked at this week's fixtures and said before we played it could prove a pivotal week in the title race and so it's proved. It's vital we get three points on Saturday, vital.

But still better than everyone else. I liked The Centurions.

The match between us won’t be decisive in terms of points but if one team wins they get a huge psychological boost I think.
