Arsenal will also be very unhappy knowing that they had several chances to bury our title hopes the last few weeks and have failed to do so.arsenal will be very happy to still be 6 points ahead.
If we hadn't had such poor results since the new year we'd be right on their shirt tails.
I'm sure they are thinking our inconsistency, especially away from home, is going to do for us.
A superb result today needs to be built on now.
Good news is that injured players are coming back.
They have only took 2 points more than us since new years day! They had the chance to go 13 points clear in their 5 games because of our form!arsenal will be very happy to still be 6 points ahead.

Zero trophies in 5 years Ric. Amazed you think they will be able to handle the pressure they are about to come under.Really don’t think there’s that much difference in terms of the remaining fixtures. Still think they’ll win it, because of the lead they have and the fact they’re more consistent than us, but don’t think we have a tougher run in as such.
Thank you for talking some sense pal!if you want to win the league you have to go and make a statement at some point of the season. There is no bigger statement in the competition than going away and winning at Anfield.
We have taken 6/6 points from the champions
Arsenal have taken 1/6 points from them
Today was massive. We now have the chance to go 3 points behind Arsenal before they travel away to an in form brentford.
Majority of our tough away fixtures are now behind us as well. Only Chelsea left I think. We have a serious opportunity to do this now.
I think it’s crazy how people are just ignoring that Arsenal have literally won nothing in recent years and shown no sign that they have the nerve to handle a proper title race.Thank you for talking some sense pal!
Arsenal Have dropped 7 points in their last 5 league games. They are shitting themselves!
That post sounds like a Gundogan team talk! Direct, to the point, clear instruction on how to win the Treble with no cameras!Could be a turning point for us. We should be bouncing after that win. Hopefully, Erling will feel better about himself and start doing what he’s always done, we are also recovering some key players and Rodri is getting fitter. I still think the League is a big ask (although they have form for bottling) but I feel a possibly unwarranted optimism for the champions league this year and we have two domestic cups to go at.
Had we lost today, I think we would be discussing the rebuild and how it takes time, and some of our more hyperbolic posters would be planning for Pep’s departure and slagging off that ‘donkey that wears number 9 (check the matchday thread!). Thankfully, none of that came to pass and we won’t also have to suffer the indignity of deluded rags next week. Really think today was massively timely for the mood of the club and fans.
Worse than Newcastle’s 12 point lead under KK? If it was Villa chasing them down they probably wouldn’t worry but a serial winning Manager is on their tails, you can’t smell it, you can’t hear it, you can’t see it but it’s called “pressure”.I think people need to perhaps recognise that as one of the worst collapses of all time rather than hold it up as the standard for what’s possible. 6 points with the head to head game is very achievable, 9 would have been holding out for a miracle time, which is what we got in 2012.
Arsenal are not head and shoulders above anyone!Agreed but Arsenal are head & shoulders above anyone else atm.
Saying that Arsenal are the biggest bottlers so there's some hope
Wholeheartedly agreeGap 6 points.
United (A)
Wolves (H)
Spurs (A)
Liverpool (A)
Gap still 6 points. Can't look at that any other way than a monumental win.
Forest (A)
United (H)
Leeds (A)
Sunderland (H)...
And they couldn't gain ground, that's a win for us. We got 9 points from their run of games and we're yet to play the 4th fixture.
Top post mate! I am not one bit nervous about Arsenal! They don't have a say in if we win this or not!Think I must be taking crazy pills seeing some of the comments just above me.
There is zero universe where I would swap their fixtures for ours. Away at Brentford, just outside the champions league spots and have a better home record this year than Liverpool, then North London Derby away, Chelsea at home where they only just squeaked by them in the cup. Follow that up with Brighton away which is a hard place to go at the best of times. Then not long after they have to come to ours followed immediately by Newcastle going to theirs. Away at a West Ham team fighting for their lives and a final day in what could be Glasners last game at Selhurst.
Fucking hell talk about a gauntlet. How does anybody look at that and think they’ll piss it?
We have some hard games left don’t get me wrong. Stamford Bridge, Villa on the final day. But other than that I see a set of very winnable matches that have the potential to be quite uneventful if we go into them with the right mindset.
What did Marmoush offer in the Liverpool game? Am I missing something?With pep constantly playing Erling Haaland on current form we are never going to get close to Arsenal. I’m sick of seeing Haaland strolling around the pitch offering nothing. Why wasn’t he subbed in place of Marmoush??
Fuck off mate!I think people need to perhaps recognise that as one of the worst collapses of all time rather than hold it up as the standard for what’s possible. 6 points with the head to head game is very achievable, 9 would have been holding out for a miracle time, which is what we got in 2012.
Fuck off mate!
We didnt need any miracle to win that league league in 2012, and we proved it by beating United 1-6 at Old Trafford. Was you there? I certainly was!
Ask any City fan who watched David Silva that season if it was a miracle that we won the league? They will all tell you that we won it by talent and grit, no miracle was ever needed!

If all goes well from here on in then be prepared for some drama against Villa.I don’t know if it’s good to get excited or not tbh.
City haven’t been at the races for multiple reasons this season.
A big win at Anfield tho can’t be discounted as a monumental moment.
in an ideal world.
6 points ahead is 3 when we beat them at home.
So if we are getting excited this is the time to do it.
3 points with 12 games to go is nothing. Can Arsenal have a wobble? Yes. Can city go and win all those games? Yes I think so.
This is it now. Go and storm the league or continue to drop points.
I don’t know, dare to dream. This is city tho and anything is possible.
Ask me again after Fulham -:)
Would love another title scrap. Missed the nervy drama to games.
If all goes well from here on in then be prepared for some drama against Villa.
