The Title Race - 2023/24

[vmsuhail]

Arsenal and Liverpool both play twice before our next prem game. We'll likely be playing catch up which is nothing new

I don't think both teams will be +4 points ahead before our game.

We seem to relish playing catch up

yeah, but you people will still go on about being the Invincibles…

;-)

Arsenal fan I was fairly friendly with said the last ten games or so were nothing but torture. To be fair, it was a hell of an achievement, even with all the draws. I really don't see who will do it again.
Incidentally, you can thank us for keeping that record intact in 2018-19. Believe it, they would have gone on and on and on about it…

I've never really rated it as an achievement. I can appreciate it's incredibly difficult as only Preston had done it previously and in 18 games (plus winning the FA Cup). But they were literally playing for it in the end, drawing 5 of their final 9. The dippers could have broken 100pts and gone unbeaten so thank fuck we stopped them! Should have got a little gold cup for that to be honest.

I think getting 90pts having drawn 12 games and finishing 11pts ahead of 2nd place Chelsea who lost 7 games that season shows it wasn't that special.

But I'm sure I'd argue otherwise if we did it!

far too long to go to start celebrating yet

One draw and we are back to third

Long gone are the days of being pessismistic Mike, come on now :)

The only way I'd be optimistic from being top or from chasing is if you gave me City's team, City's manager and City's mentality...

At least you're lucid. However you do it, however you spin it, it is a hell of a thing to go through a season without losing.
That said: Bayer Leverkusen just might do it. And they just might do it in three competitions.

Well I'm pretty confident you will be able to take both Arsenal and Dippers European exploits off the lists

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Both of these 2 are dropping points again this weekend giving us a buffer. Mentally they’ll be gone after this weekend and the upcoming midweek fixtures.

Love it when you talk dirty, Inchy!

Will never get tired of looking at that 23 point gap to United....
