That's how I see it, we have the slightly harder fixtures but easier finish to the season. Arsenal and Liverpool want to be ahead by the end of April.

Liverpool have the easiest games left. If they continue to get the decisions on top of that, they should walk it.

Pretty much gone as expected so far. No team has surprised. Last night's result was probably the first decent result from one of the 3 teams.

Liverpool (67)​
Arsenal (68)​
City (67)​
Sheff United (H)​

Corresponding teams this season:
Liverpool - 22 points from 27.
Arsenal - 15 points from 24.
City - 17 points from 24.

Basically no team is winning out but whoever does has a chance.
Liverpool favourites then us in my opinion, Arsenal's games are tough.

89 points wins it.

Tricky games:
Liverpool: United, Everton, Spurs, Villa - 4
Arsenal: Villa, Chelsea, Spurs, United - 4
City: Spurs - 1

I think you guys will be fine.
 
It’s shit that we are in this position with needing 2 other teams to drop points. Goes to show how up and down city have been this season after a very good start.

Lot of dropped points were we could win the remaining 8 games and it still won’t be enough.

Every match day for the dips and arse seem a forgone conclusion at the min. How long that lasts is where that little bit of hope remains.

It’s amazing how it feels we’ve been quite a way off our consistency and levels of the last few seasons yet we’re still right in the mix. Think of some of the daft points we’ve dropped like Chelsea away, spurs and palace at home with 90+ minute equalisers, we could and probably should be well clear.

If we do win it this season, arse and liverpool will be distraught.

Oh I like the sound of that last bit a lot. Think of the YouTube meltdowns -:)

We didn't chase them down in 2022. They made up seven points on us in the second half of the season, but we had an eight-point lead at the turn of the year and that got us over the line.

My biggest concern is that whilst I see them drawing a game, I don't see them losing or drawing two. Yes, it could well happen, but nothing less than 24 points from the 24 still available will be enough for City. The home draws have really hurt us.

I fear that home draw against Palace may come back to haunt us.
 
Remember, when the legs go there's not much you can do about it whoever you are.
We look at the remaining games and assume everyone will play at peak level but at the tail end of the season form can drop off dramatically and I include City in this.
Pep has managed and got the best out of our players at the end of the season so I remain hopeful we can do it.

Spurs hold the key, right now. If they take anything off us or Arsenal or both, the victims will be on clear road.

Also think the Rags are capable of upsetting the Dippers and Goons , they are a shite team but occasionally Ten Bob gets a performance out of them and they do hate these clubs with a passion , the Swamp dwellers would love to f*ck up both their seasons

I’m not saying that we’re out of it or being negative, but it’s pretty mad that we could end the season unbeaten in 37 games and still lose the league title.

Liverpool must have found it even madder in 2019 that they could have gone a season being invincibles. And that one team, and one team only, beat them, and by so doing, pipped them to the title.
 
There's no silver lining if it slips out of our hands this year. Arse or Pool winning it would be equally terrible and annoying. I can't imagine how insufferable the media would be.

If we win the remaining 8 games, and one of those two ends up winning it, you know what, they deserve it. It happens, we'll be back winning titles either way.

Exactly, if we win every game between now and the end of the season, we'll all be very happy!
 
TBF before this round of fixtures was played if you offered me a small gain in closing down the GD on the other two I would have bitten your hand off. I expected both to gain more of an advantage in that regard (Particularly the dippers) whilst a narrow win for us would be seen as a very good result.The fact we closed it whilst playing a tricky game on paper is good.

Remember we need to gain 3 points on Liverpool to even be level which would mean a further tilt in GD in a round of games before the end of the season. So the Liverpool GD isn’t really as much of a huge problem as the media are making out Arsenals on the other hand is a problem, but they have the toughest run on paper.

It’s beautifully poised.
