The Title Race 2022/23

[Galvanoth]

We won the league ggs

IF we beat them then those extra two points could come in handy in that Brighton game.

The game against them is obviously’massive’, going to be rocking.

 

[Badensbluemoon]

Not over yet, we are still behind, not time to relax, just go, go

The disrespect from Arsenal fans mind thinking after playing us they will win all the games, they've got Brighton and Newcastle , Newcastle have been outstanding at home, and Brighton are in very good form. They could easily drop points there

 

[Zinchilla]

Who can draw a game from now on isn’t the important bit from this game today. It was the impact losing a two goal lead will have on them.

Their defence is creaking, Tierney wanted to be subbed, but they had nobody to replace him with. If Saliba is out for another couple of weeks then it’s going to creak even more.

Pressure. Our boys look like they’re enjoying life, Arsenal look highly stressed. And they even looked flustered when the West Ham fans were whistling for full time. A big atmosphere next Wednesday should make them even more twitchy.

im a fucking football genius

Like Moysey!

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Doesn't change our job for now. We still have to beat them at home, or it's out of our hands.

 

[SkyBlueFlux]

I get that general vibe too but I agree I doubt it will be straight forward. There's a reason that the record for PL away wins in a season is only 16 (held by us). Even the best teams will drop points in a third of their away games. It's really hard in this league to keep consistently winning away from home regardless of the opposition.

Some people in this thread eating major humble pie.

Pretty much every man and his dog slating West Ham on here over the last 24 hours.

I’ll repeat it for clarity because it will happen again before the end of the season.

In this league anybody can take points off anybody. That includes Arsenal and it includes us.

No we don't - a draw will do
They need to beat us though, wonder if that will be in our favour

They will still be a point ahead with a draw. (assuming we win our game in hand)

 

[Franny 1234]

Weirdly it doesn’t change a great deal. Still in both teams hands and a draw is still enough for them at The Etihad. But it uses up one of their ‘lives’. Before today’s game they could have drawn with us and drawn at Newcastle, winning the rest and that would have been enough for them. But now they have used up one of those lifelines in a game they didn’t expect it to be used up.

What it does change is the mentality
Was 8 points ahead for a long period of this season.
