The Title Race - 2023/24

[117 M34]

Happy to draw when a win puts it completely in our hands? Mad

But a loss would take it completely out of our hands - in this completely hypothetical situation

 

[makinghistory]

Goals scored then head to head if GD is equal.

Ah didn't know that so we still have a fair chance now if as you say we draw and win with the right results.

 

[Damanino]

probably only the dippers away game would a worse game at this stage in terms of bad run at specific away ground.

we had all kind of games there, us being shit and lose deservedly, game being equal and still lose, us completely on top, 25 shots, they win with 3 shots, 1 on target = 1 goal etc.
even scoring at their place was an issue recently.

but no other choice than to beat this hoodoo, otherwise title is gone and Arteta will be laughing all summer for Spurs helping hand for their title.

we have the form, Spurs also in quite shit form, defensively they are naive all season, even at the Etihad 3-3 game it was those strange games where we should have buried them by 4-5 goals yet managed to drop points as at the back we sucked meaning scoring three wasnt enough to win it.

I guess we gonna score 2 at least with current form, as they really cant sit back and defend deep team, they cnnot do it properly. question is can we keep a clean sheet (I am 99% we wont), Son having 2 shots from outside a box, one goes in from the post or a deflected goal etc usual stuff...

lets raise our game , when if not now...
we need to raise it as high as we can to give Spurs the real headache. expect ref to allow lots of fouls and let them counter us from those.

beat Spurs and than Sean Dyche might deliver the big surprise next Sunday.

I’d say arse are favourites now with the bookies. utd did us no favours with that team selection and arse struggled against that shit utd team.

Well the bookies disagree.

City are at 2/5 and Arsenal at 12/5.

The hoodoo was broken in the FA Cup

And if we do win, we won't need a favour off Dyche as both teams will have straightforward home wins on the last day

 

[Gone for a Burton]

I wouldn’t say I’d be happy but I’d be confident we could outscore them with the game we both play.

Dirty Dyche's Everton will play 5 4 1 with Pitch Fork flying round like a demented sow.

Diving, cheating,goal kicks,blocks, the whole fucking shithousery.

Dyche will not want to end the season with a battering and he is the 'Captain of Shithousery' that's needed to frustrate the arses and fuck them over.

 

[Damanino]

well straightforward home wins on final day, like QPR or Villa recently, coming back from the dead :)

 

[MillisleBlue]

Stop shitting the bed you Fanny wipes we will do what we always do we’re not champions of England and Europe for nothing, this time next week we will be planning for the parade

 

[Andy TheCatalyst Morrison]

Fuck arsenal, they are a pathetic pladtic disgusting **** of a club, letter writing dirty bastards, cheating time wasting lying down fucktards, who boo their own players and manager when things go wrong, we will do it boys and put these ashburton tarquin cunts back in their box for another summer

Not a fan?

I remember there is this one year that we struggled against QPR on final day ..

 

[chaddblue]

I remember there is this one year that we struggled against QPR on final day ..

In 2014 we had to beat West Ham on the last day and we strolled to a win without breaking sweat.. can see that again

Tuesday is the big one

 

[Blue Theatre]

Not wanting to be negative, but for those people saying Spurs are on poor form, they've won 9 of their last 11 home games, and one of the 2 they didn't win was a tight game v Arsenal.

Thanks BT, That'll improve my nights sleep no end.

 

[vmsuhail]

Draw with spuds then it's a shoot out starting -3

That will beat QPR and Villa for the final day classics.

 

[lasereyes]

It’s about right.

City are about 2/5 to beat Tottenham and 1/10 to beat West Ham. That would be a 0.54/1 double. Or a 54% chance.

Add on 5% because we could still win the league without winning those two games and you’ve got OPTAs 59% chance.

2-5 means around 70% chance. And winning both is 64%. And our overall winning will be a bit higher as Arse are not certain to beat Everton

 

[Paul1970]

Make no mistake this is going to be really difficult and atm arsenal are edging this title and tbh most money would be going on for them to win the title as our record at Tottenham is really terrible but big ange doesn’t really play counter attacking football so that should give us hope but I think we might not get this one and them last seconds draws to Chelsea spurs and fucking palace will cost . Really hope we can do this on Tuesday

Ange has played Son as a striker all season he played him in his best position Saturday and looked back to himself!

There's been a few city fans who think like me sooner or later we could just lose a tight title challenge for the first time ever!

I know they players will do everything to win but like Madrid away two shots two deflections go in anything can happen!

Agree mate . We can’t win them all and arsenal have played fantastic all season and have been the best team in the league . Any other time I’d be saying we’ve got this but j have a really bad feeling about Tuesday night .

Completely understand your points, our record down there doesn't make good reading but i honestly think we'll have too much for them this time.
This team seems to thrive on the pressure, 1-3 City.
I will admit though that one day, we will lose out in a last day title deciders, i don't much like Arsenal but I'd rather lose out to them than Utd or Liverpool, it wouldn't hurt half as much.

 

[CatMan]

Let's look at the facts.

We will have around 65% possession, we have much better players, they will not attempt a low block, they have lost 5 games at home, our away GD is +25, their home is +13, and deep down they won't run that extra yard. For sure they will run around a little, and maybe have the odd attack, but we will be at it and they will quickly crumble.

Minimum 2-0 to City.
