Premier League Games 21/22/23 Jan '23

Once the European games start up again that’s when it will get interesting unless Arsenal play a completely different side in those games to the premier league..

Arteta will rest all his important players

I’m still staggered by anyone that was openly supporting United there

Some of us love City more than we hate united.

Pouncing is all very well if you're close enough to what you're pouncing on.

8 points behind 6 games left

If we want to win it, there is literally no room for error. Two games against Arsenal are pivotal, we need to win both those games imo if we want another PL trophy in our cabinet.

Grow a pair.
They aren’t on for 100 points either. You need to be ahead at this stage now level. Absolutely no chance

I'm not being defeatist or going all "boo-hoo our precious title :(", just admiring the ability of a more than worthy opponent. We've won 4 titles in 5 seasons, we've won 6 PL titles in total. The fact we've won literally any trophy at all is more than I ever expected as a kid. Finishing top 4 and having a good cup run is fine by me.

And of course anything can happen. Arsenal could lose every game between now and May. All their players could get scurvy. But they're currently on track for 100 points and are very much on track to finish with at least 90. That's a massive total to get. Sometimes it's fine to just say "Well done, mate" to a rival.

Did they check Zinchenko there out of curiosity? Looked closer to being off than the bloke who actually scored.

League will hinge on the games against Arsenal, we need to be winning both

The angle I saw on television he certainly looked offside.

what helps Arteta is he will shit on FA cup and EL imo, rightly so, he doesnt have a squad big enough to go long in those comps and he shits all over those if he can get the PL title.

in the league after 19 matches to have 50 points thats incredible, that's 100 points if he can keep that point avg, but even he cannot thats easily 90+ points.

our only chance imo if we become extremely consistent alongside beating them home + away too and they do get dragged into a bad form with some completely unexpected dropped points like our 1 point at home vs Brentford+Everton out of 6.

but that momentum, intensity, desire they have now, they cut these kind of teams apart easily.

Doesn't matter, they could lose points anywhere and there's an awful long way to go. not sure why people are flapping. The pressure could get to them later on, it's happened so many times before.

Correct….We have struggled with Southampton in some of our best years. You never know where Arsenal might slip up

 

[coolcity]

On the bright side only us and Arsenal we don't need to worry about United behind us

Was anybody worried about unite behind us? I wasn't.

A draw would have been perfect, a Man Utd win would have been a helping hand

It wouldn’t. It would have had the scum 3 points behind with three easy games and us with ars and spurs away. They could have ended up 3/6 points ahead of us. That’s unimaginable
