The Title Race 2022/23

[gordondaviesmoustache]

Considering our best run is 3 win it seems very unlikely

You have your way of looking at the world, I have mine.

Would still need Arsenal to slip up, but yes wouldn't it be great. Particularly if their defeat comes at Liverpool.

A draw at Liverpool would almost certainly do it. That would be even more ‘magical’.

City win the league then, we can only win it from ere & Arsenal can only lose it given there two points clear with a game in hand, you are Baba Vanga & I’ll claim my futuristic 5 credits

Haha, will take that if it means winning the title. I had a go at it with my 3 from 3 'it's about time' attempts. There's another one in there somewhere.

All this talk of “out of our hands” is a bit silly when there’s over a third of the season left. People are getting so giddy about Arsenal.

Only our 2019 team, arguably the best English side ever, and a peak Wenger star laden Arsenal team in 2002 have ever put together a sequence of wins to win the title in such a way that a small points advantage in February really did render the situation out of their rival’s hands.

Many points will be dropped in the run in and it won’t be out of our hands or theirs until it’s mathematically impossible.

 

[Centurions]

We can't say either till the end then. Or we can say both, which we did.

At this point though, they still have a two game cushion when we could have made it one game. But we didn't.

Two game cushion? You can't possibly include our home game against them as a cushion.

Edit: Ahh, 2 points and a game in hand?

Right. If they rock up to our place with a five point advantage still in place and take points off us with five games to go then they'll be worthy champions. But until they do that I'm counting a 2 point cushion and if I was an Arsenal fan I'd be doing the same. But it's a slim, slim lead with 14 games left.

Agree with all of the above completely

Its a weird one for me. My typical city me says we just aren't at the races this season and I don't think we'll put together enough of a run to seal it. However, my head is actually expecting we'll be champions come end of season based on we have been here and done it when expected to under Pep.

next 5 PL games:
Newcastle h
Palace a
WHU h
Pool h
Soton a

two absolute bogey teams away, real test for Pep & team to go to these away grounds and get a win.
Newcastle and Pool, we could not beat them away from home, actually was 3-1 down to Newcastle saving it to 3-3.
while Pool away, we shit the bed as usual plus awful mistake from Cancelo.
WHU is rubbish this season, we should rip them apart at home normally.


can we do 13-15 points from these? anything less and Arsenal imo will widen the gap which already will be 5 points Wednesday night.

we do need both Arse and Manure to suffer on Thursday night , get injuries, fatigue in EL and go few more rounds possibly as favourites like next round vs Sporting/Betis...
do have a feeling Arteta will throw it do first time vs Sporting and field a rotated side, would not blame him, given a probably 5 points lead with 12 or so games to go...

I'm not sure you understand what out of our hands means.
