The Title Race 2022/23

Plenty of points still to play for, think we're going to need to beat them at our place though.

Agreed - one bit of comfort is late late goals to beat both Villa and Bmouth tells us that Arsenal aren’t all that - their luck will run out. We have been here before. CTID.

Because that draw could've been today.

And also shows how marginal the gap really is as it could have been wiped out today, and yet some on here would have you think they were 8 points clear with 2 games to go

Uncanny insight - I'm guessing we dropped points in those games?

No. Won all 4

I think the ref's watch had stopped, Arsenal's goal was seven minutes into stoppage time of 6 minutes.

Can't keep winning games in the last minute, it'll catch up with you eventually

Let's have it right, they only need to draw one game for it to be in our hands, so I don't really get all the negativity

Wasn"t last min..they added on 6 mins from dubious time added time appaeently then because they couldn't score, ol' PIGMOL added on another well.. as long as it took basically 'till they scored. It's fixed this. I never used to believe it but I really do think they only way we could win it is in spite of the system....fck 'em lol

Relax!

They have a horrible run of fixtures towards the end of the season.



If they get through that run of fixtures and get something off us, they deserve to be champions.

Don’t forget, their Thursday night games start next week.

Until then!

You win close title races by conserving mental energy as well as physical energy for the run in. Witness the dippers running on empty in 2014 after beating us in the “title decider” and falling away as we won 5 in a row to clinch it.

Going absolutely life and death to beat Bournemouth at home with player celebrations to rival Michael Thomas and co all those years ago takes a lot out of a team especially a young, increasingly nervous one.
There’s a long way to go yet, our players know that but I’m not sure Arsenal’s really understand what’s coming.

Seems to me we’re just getting into our stride and getting our serious heads on while Arsenal are beginning to fray at the seams. I think we might surprise everybody and win this title with 2 or 3 games to spare

Its the old message in the ear shite...how is this never called out? What are corrupt league we play in

 

[Champions Again Ole Ole]

Again, last minute winner coming from behind. It's what champions do. Doesn't matter how many minutes were added, they still scored the goal that was needed

They also have to go away to us, Newcastle and Liverpool- not easy - let’s see - it’s nowhere near over
