Definitely. And I bet it won’t be where you expect. It’s never surprising in a title run-in for teams to have odd results; Arsenal could go to Anfield and win 0-3 but lose to Forest.

But I think we’ll drop points n’all.

I personally think arsenal will win it, but yea we will both drop a few points here and there.

There will be more twists for sure but we've dug ourselves a hole with our defensive mistakes.. like at Forest.

Need to perfect down the stretch!

If we drop points anywhere, its done and dusted!

Think the league went a few games ago…..too many dropped points on games we would have been expecting to win! Spurs away was the final nail in the coffin…..! FA Cup this season only, is were lucky!

If you're going to do that I'd at least hang on until Arsenal draw another game, as the bookies are itching to make us favourites.

The fact they've got us as joint favourites whilst 5 points behind says it all

Suspect the odds will have worked against me due to Arsenal easy win
 
Thought the oracle Gary Neville said the rags will finish 2nd? Hahahahah this commentary lark is a con job.

What is interesting about that table is that if we matched our points tally after 27 games in all of our title winning seasons since 2018, we would still be behind Arsenal in 2 of those wins after 27 games and level in the other (21/22).

Arsenal currently being on 66 points is quite the achievement, even if I do think the level of the league has dropped this season, or at least been more inconsistent.

We have done rather quite well considering how inconsistent we have been this season.
 
It's mad how we're still in it after 27 games having not won more than 3 games in a row all season! Hopefully we absolutely destroy Liverpool to finally go 1 better and then keep on going.

Frustratingly, if it wasn't for Arsenal, we'd have pissed the league this season.

More frustrating is the dropped points against Brentford, Everton, Villa, Forest and Spurs, where we didn't turn up or missed numerous chances to score. 12 points tossed away.

Yep and that is what we ultimately cost us.

Hopefully Arsenal stay in the Europa League.

Going to be another nervous end to a mad season :)
 
Statistically that was a big win for Arsenal, they'll probably beat Palace next week and we'll go into the Liverpool (H) game 8 points behind.

If we get through that Liverpool game with a win then that is where their tough run starts:

We need them to go to Anfield needing to win. That means beating Liverpool and beating Southampton 2 hours before they kick off at Anfield.

If they get through that run avoiding defeat to us or not dropping points to any of the others then they'll deserve this title.

I see them dropping points in 3 or 4 of those games (hopefully).
