The Title Race - 2023/24

How many points will be needed to win the league?

  • Total voters
    446
  • Poll closed .
I’m a bit half and half with this.
Can see the dippers dropping right out of this, salah was useless and their usual clinical final ball just wasn’t there.
The rags def have a hoodoo on them.

Looking at the last few matches of all 3 we seem to be the one team that always seems to get it done.

Arsenal have looked impressive especially now Lego has instilled shithousery into their game when things look dodgy.

I dunno I just think we are one game and 3 points short at this stage.

I’ve just got in work in dipperland and it’s like a fukin morgue lol

I’d go for the Tarquins then us and klippertys lot third.

Hope to fuck I’m wrong.
 
If we win all our remaining games, gd doesn't matter as if both of them draw a game they'll be behind us. Liverpool are the favourites for me due to their schedule (easier than arsenal and a little more difficult than us) , no fa cup no cl and being a point ahead right now.

Yes and they’ve won their last two so to win every game remaining would mean they won 9 in a row (more than they’ve managed at any point this season).

I did stop to think whether you meant that, but you posted it after the Liverpool draw, Arsenal drew their previous game, and even then 10 wouldn't be possible.

But semantics, I get your point. While I wouldn't claim it impossible or unlikely that they win their remaining 7, I don't really think it will happen either.

Klopp seemed a little annoyed today that Everton, United and no doubt countless other teams try harder against them than they do anyone else.

I guess the plus side to that is it ‘means more” when you beat them.

Atleast those teams are "trying" against them, how does Klopp feel if countless teams never play, just sit back and do the odd counter all game.

It's not impossible but it's (highly) unlikely that they win their remaining 7 games. If we give them 85 % chance to win any of the games Spurs and United aside (that's a bit optimistic, given their involvement in the CL), 60% at Spurs and 70% at United, then the overall chance would be...18%. If you use the bookies odds, then the overall chance of 7 Arsenal wins would be under 10%...

Liverpool are not in a much better situation. Give them 75% chance to win at Fulham and Everton, 70% at W Ham, 60% Villa, 85% vs Spurs and 95% vs Palace and Wolves. The overall chance then is 17%. If we take the bookies odds, then the overall chance is under 10%.

That said, City are unlikely to win all 7 games too. But we are (slightly) more likely to do it.

Think Liverpool will do a utd after klopp leaves
same scenario as bacon face after he fucked off will not challenge us the way they have in recent years

If we come up short it will be because of:
  • Wolves (A)
  • Chelsea (A)
  • Spurs (H)
  • Palace (H)
Dropped 7 points carelessly with shocking game management.

The last sentence is OTT.

Arsenal dropped 5 pts vs Fulham, drew with Spurs and lost at home vs W Ham. Liverpool couldn't beat *this* United team and drew at Luton...

If we come up short, it will be a combination of many factors, including tiredness from last season and injuries to key players. Carelesness is not among them.

The scousers are cracking, all the sound bites are them obsessing over the rags Vs arsenal, they shouldn't be looking that far forward as that is the way to slip up against one of the teams they should be beating, it's a bad mentality, take the next game as the most important and it takes the pressure off.

Nothing is decided yet, but the last 2 results vs United were unexpected for them. They frenzied themselves into thinking it must be their season. Now they'll be nervous. The worst part from the game yesterday was that it cost them a lot of energy. If they are not careful in Europa, they'll run out of gas for the final 5-6 games. The energy effect from yesterday might be felt in the week they play 3 PL games away from home.
 
City need to concentrate on winning every single game from here on in. We've done it before, we can do it again. That's our advantage over the others; they're in uncharted waters, we're not.

One more draw for Arsenal and Liverpool and it's over for them. In terms of 'City comebacks' this is one of the strongest positions we've been in.

The Palace game was everything you ever heard about being careless. However, let's be positive and concentrate on the job at hand. We just need two points more than Arsenal and Liverpool from the last 7 games. Simply put we must keep winning to see if we can win. I am confident for the first time this season that we can do it. So hopefully those two points dropped back in December won't define our 23/24 league campaign.
