The Title Race 2022/23

[coolcity]

I've seen enough now, but Arsenal look like they could get 5 or 6 today without looking particularly good. 3-0 on 65 minutes and Leeds look very scrappy.

In fact I don't know where Leeds get the plaudits from, I've only seen them a few times but they never look particularly effective to me. They work hard but that's about it.

Arsenal look like winning AND reducing the GD, only 2 behind us now (at 3-0)

Next 3 Games:

Southampton (A)
Leicester (H)
Arsenal (H)

Win those and I think we'll do it.

dirty leeds got something for us today i reckon

It’s the hope that kills you

 

[coolcity]

No I mean top properly. It's business time. Every point means more now. No one is going to let them play football around them anymore, they'll be sitting in, kicking lumps and going at them. Sit back and watch the bottling begin.

Everybody else might, but Leeds ain't doing anything today.

I don't think any other game is a must-win yet but the Arsenal one is the obvious decider. Lose that and we can probably forgot it. I'm never usually negative but just stating the obvious.

Statistically ranked as favourites now. Big win today.

Meant to add to this, interesting that they stats think the winner will get 87 points.

That's Arsenal dropping 12 points and us dropping 7 points.

Can’t fault them. They keep on churning out wins and matching our goals per game. If they do go on to win the PL title, they deserve credit.

City 5/4
Arsenal 10/13

Leeds could easily have been two up before that pen. They just have no self belief when they go one down

We win on Saturday to take it to 5 points and all things being equal
That’s a pressure trip to anfield for them
All we need is them to draw/lose and it’s in our hands again
Win at Southampton and we are well in a title race
If they win at anfield then fair play to them

They haven’t been in this situation, that’s the kicker. We still have a great chance.

Liverpool, us and Newcastle away are the only games you can expect them to drop points IMO. You have to expect them to win every other game.

Plenty of people give a shit about international football.

Virtually all players do also.

But its shit compared to club football. Fans of Barnsley , Lincoln etc love it, reflected glory. Its always been a bit shit. With shit fans singing rule britania ..shall never be slaves etc at a game v Ukraine! They just didn't see the idiocy of it. Bunch of knuckle dragfers En ger land fans and thats b4 we start talking about 'no surrender' and dam busters...where do they find these 'fans'? Oh yeah..yonner land!

Agree
Bit I expect us to win every game now as well

Brighton (H) and Chelsea (H) won't be walkovers. West Ham (A) will be tricky.

Wolves (H), Southampton (H) and Forest (A) are their easy ones and even Forest have a good home record.

They're on a 7 game winning streak so it's always going to be hard to see where they will drop points but statistical models have them dropping 11 points in their last 9 games. I don't think they'll drop that many but they won't win every game.

Even drawing that tbf. Need to win our game in hand, keep winning beat them, then we are still 2 pts behind so big effort considering we are in chumps league

 

[urban genie]

10 games, we can do it

Maybe but all teams drop points when least expected, especially on the run in.

Everton (A) could be harder game than Chelsea (H) especially if Eveton need points to stay up.
