The Title Race 2022/23

They haven’t been in this situation, that’s the kicker. We still have a great chance.

The title run-in hasn’t even started yet. I always say it starts on Game 30.

I am quite relaxed. If we win it amazing - if we don’t fair play Arsenal.

Anyone finishing above us will win the league..

Good luck..!

I think other people have quoted it as being "where we had to win 17 or 18 games in a row to be champions" which changes the meaning completely.

That's how I'm feeling too.

Personally I think we will win it though. I believe we'll win the rest of our games and I think Arsenal will drop points against either Liverpool, Chelsea, Newcastle or Brighton. If they win all four of those, and all of the others except the one against us, then they absolutely deserve the title.

Isn't it amazing how 6 weeks ago we were talking about how everyone looked tired and a bit old, and no one was in form, we looked short of numbers and signings not working had cost us.

Now I have no idea how Pep picks a front 5 from Haaland, Alvarez, Foden, Grealish, Gundo, Bernie, KDB and Mahrez and there's almost no wrong answer. I don't care how he picks the back 4.

I really feel that if everyone stays injury free, no one is going to stop us.

Same here. Losing to the scousers or the rags would be insufferable but I don’t properly know any Arsenal fans so it’s not that big a deal.

I’d snap your hand off if you offered me second place and a big shiny European cup. But I don’t know if I would do the same if it was Liverpool/Rags in the running.

We have done it before. It is entirely possible that Arsenal lose 4 games in their final 9 games. This may not happen, but they have some potentially tough games to come. Come On City! We can do this.

I think we could beat them convincingly at home and really knock their confidence. We've beaten them 4-1, 5-0 and a dominating 3-1 under Arteta, it's not hard to imagine a similar scoreline.

With our home record, with how up for it the crowd, players and Pep will be, I think we could smash them and really knock them off kilter. Immediately after us they play Chelsea, Newcastle (a), Brighton which is not an easy run.
