The Title Race 2022/23

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Villa will take points off of them. Little blips and all that.

The midday kick-off time will certainly do them no favours, that's for sure :)

Would be good to see a comparison of home/away fixtures left for each team set against the league table. I might knock it together if I find some time over the weekend. My feeling would be that our fixture list is a lot more generous…

I think we have theoretically tougher home games - arse, dippers, chavs and bar codes, they have theoretically harder sway (us dippers bar codes). The big pluses are we’ve done this before, and our brilliant manager isn’t having a breakdown

Arsenal's first half of the season was near perfect. The mad thing is we did that for a whole season.

Particularly as we won it well early and had no need to sustain that level of performance.

Villa away then Leicester away tough fixtures with form they’re in can see them getting 1 point from 6

It's fairly tight, but I think we just about edge it. We've both played United and Spurs twice, from the top half we both still have to play Newcastle, Fulham, Brighton, Liverpool and Chelsea.

Our away games are Forest, Bournemouth, Palace, Southampton, Brighton, Fulham, Everton, Brentford.

Arsenal's are Villa, Leicester, Fulham, Liverpool, West Ham, City, Newcastle, Forest.

The big thing here is same as the dippers.
When everyone realises you ain’t invincible and they can get at you they start to actually have a go
Arsenal at the moment just aren’t creating enough chances, confidence is lower and the squad is not strong
If odegard or saka were to get an injury or suspension they would give up

Next four for both of us are massive. I'm starting to think that Arsenal will come to us needing to win to keep themselves in a title race.

Emery aswell *cackles*

Hoping it doesnt go down to the last game of the season.....

Brentford away has big upset written all over it...they are a very difficult team to get anything against as we have already found out.

You missed their game in hand which is March 1 home to Neverton. I reckon they will get 34 points, we will get 35 and that includes a last day win at Brentford.
