The Title Race - 2021/22

[HolisticJim]

Yes. But for me, tonights liverpool performance shows the disparity between the haves and have nots in football and they are, in fact, ruining football and the competitive nature of the premier league. At least that's what I expect the reporting to be like..........

I half read that and so much wished there was a laugh emoji.... Then read the last bit!

I think he was being sarcastic …

You can't expect people who say "wipe your fanny" to understand these things, they're still recovering from the bomb damage from the war.

Thanks.

The race begins now, even games (although we'll be 1 in front after this weekend).

CITY (63 points, +46)​	LIVERPOOL (60 points, +50)​
Everton (A)​	West Ham (H)​
United (H)​	Brighton (A)​
Crystal Palace (A)​	Arsenal (A)​
Brighton (H)​	United (H)​
Burnley (A)​	Watford (H)​
Liverpool (H)​	City (A)​
Wolves (A)​	Aston Villa (A)​
Watford (H)​	Everton (H)​
Leeds (A)​	Newcastle (A)​
Newcastle (H)​	Spurs (H)​
West Ham (A)​	Southampton (A)​
Aston Villa (H)​	Wolves (H)​

Teams in the Top 8.
Team between 9th - 13th.
Botton 7 (Teams I would consider relegation candidates).

On that basis the fixture list is with us.


Corresponding fixtures last year (of the games remaining this year):

Team	Played	Won	Drawn	Lost	Goals F	Goals A	Goal Dif	Points
City	11	7	3	1	18	7	+11	24
Liverpool	11	4	4	3	15	14	+1	16

Didn't include Watford as neither side played them last season.



Conclusion, we've had a harder run of games and sit 3 points clear of them with the advantage of having to play them at our place. It could become like 2018/19 where both teams kept winning but as it stands right now, we're sitting prettier.

I'm praying we do a city and just keep winning now. We've done it before and we seem capable of turning it on.

My money is on us. The real deal.

Didn't realise we got 5 PL games before the CL quarters start.
That's a big positive, no distractions.
6th game is LFC at home, win the next 6 and the title is ours.

the voice in my head says we may slip up at everton and then the real deal follows,we'l see

I think we beat Everton on Saturday and chelsea win the league cup Sunday
Back to 6 points and they have a trip to arsenal (which they probably win)

Arsenal and the Rags could be tricky games for them, but the Dippers have momentum at the moment. Vital game on Saturday and it can't come quick enough.

 

[cookster]

We might need to

Err no we can draw at least 1.

Brighton home game will be off if we beat the posh so it could be 4.

Khan v brook all over again. They will be in a right state when we win the league.
