One game at a time Leicester at home next let’s not fall foul to them at the moment not having a manager in place and us thinking it’s a nailed on win ..

That is a very disturbing picture!

Most of the board is assuming that Arse will try and bore a point against us, we may find that they'll need a win to keep with us (especially with potentially a couple of games in our back pocket).

A draw to leave them 2/3 points in front when we have 6 more points to play for than them is going to fuck them up big style.

I hope they play for a draw against us. There's no circumstance where that'd be good for them.

Exactly.
Last time we had things in our own hands after beating Arsenal at the Emirates, we dropped points at Forest a few days later. Get the Bayern game done and dusted and then concentrate on Leicester - nothing gained by looking beyond that.

100%. In fact that’s why I’ll be giving this thread a wide birth from now on. It’s all about the next game and only that. See you on the pre-match threads!

Sometimes they do. There is a lot of luck in footy as it’s a low scoring game. Leicester had the most points when they won the league but were far from the best team. Goal difference, to name one, is a better predictor of future success than points believe it or not.

Luck never evens itself out over only 38 games.

Going to have to agree to disagree over this, Leicester were worthy champions and beat all the other teams over the course of the season. They came to the Etihad and put in a great display at the business end of the season

Back in your hands alright. I will never forgive you lot if you let this stupid, annoying, arrogant as fuck Arsenal team win the title. Let’s fucking go.

Was looking at Arsenals run in and one fixture jumped out ..... not that I think they will lose it.

If you are looking for omens in a tight title race they are at home to Wolves final day. As were Liverpool both last season and in 2019.

I like omens like that. It's just the Damien types I stay away from.

I'm hoping that the big shock is that Southampton get a draw at the Emirates.

Problem is WHAM have a game in europe on Thursday and it’s a quick turnaround to the gooners game

Yes, but, you never know.
