The Title Race 2022/23

[Alfie Budd]

If Arsenal get a result at the Etihad then fair play to them but when did we last have a 'must win' home PL game where we failed to ultimately get the job done? Happy to be corrected but I think it may have been the Spurs game with fourth place at stake at the end of the 2009-10 season.

Spot on,bar the last bit the best team does win the league regardless..

Not true, the best team does not always win the league. We are the best team in the league but we not win it. Sometimes teams have good runs that are long ones. That’s what Leicester did. They were Champions, they deserved It, but they were not the league’s best team.

You at Yoga again tonight?

I don't see today as a twist. It was a workmanlike Arsenal getting a point against an average Liverpool. Entirely predictable. If we beat them I think it is ours.
They are a consistent side but not a great one, yet anyway. They are trying to play up the draw but they surrendered a two goal lead rather meekly and were lucky in the end to grab a share of the spoils.
I just read on the BBC that Micah said it was one of the best games he has ever seen. A bizarre comment I would say. Although if it puts us across the line maybe I will agree with him.

I'm hoping today's result will give the City players and management the belief that we can do the treble. It could be a boost for Tuesday night.

After the old firm win, I would say so -:)

To such an extent someone had to read your message to me. And reply.

we've also go to go to Brighton and Brentford, neither are easy games

Next to Arsenal, Brighton is our hardest game. Hopefully be rearranged for when they have nothing to play for.

Theirs because they can afford to draw at ours, we currently can’t.

Remember the rag’s playing for a draw at the Etihad with not a single shot all night in 2012. That turned out alright.

I don't see it like that, they have the points on the board and Ok we have to play them, but that only put us under more pressure when we face them,

Arsenal know playing at the Etihad will be all on us to win the game, Yes we are good enough to beat anybody home and away, but we are still in the FA Cup and Champions League and that could be the key,

I think after watching that game Arsenal have 1 or 2 players who when put under pressure react in a bad way, they can be wound up, hope Moyes can see that and rattles them, this doesn't happen to us. 1more slip by Arsenal next week and I think there done, by the time they play the pressure is hopefully ramped up even more.

If the way you are playing doesn’t instil belief you can do it, fuck knows what it will take.
