The Title Race 2022/23

More points dropped.

Now they need to win at Etihad.

A draw still does it for them, but yeah big shift now.

I am not far off guaranteeing three points here! The Brighton game might be a different kettle of fish.

Guarantee it so we can post the points now.

I can't think that far ahead, if I'm honest. Those will be our last two games in all likelihood. Clearly the Arsenal game is at the forefront, but I look at our next four - three of which are at home and Fulham on the road - as being potentially defining. In that time, Arsenal play Southampton (h), City (a), Chelsea (h) and Newcastle (a).

I can't get out of my head just how poor Arsenal have been in the last hour of the last two games. They looked like a team really feeling the pressure.

Agree, we need to take it a game at a time. I really don't want to need two wins from two out of those.

If we can just keep going and picking up wins over the next 3/4 games then if Arsenal show any weakness it could be a formality by the time those games come around.

Yes. The other thing to take into account is that IF we beat Arsenal, it's out of their hands and the pressure somewhat lifts from their shoulders. They could well go back to seeing games out comfortably if they are not setting the pace. It's been an excellent seven days but this is far from a done deal.

Not if we win out game in hand, we can afford to draw it too. Our goal difference is superior

How? If we win our game in hand, we're still a point behind them

Not sure that is right. If they draw with us they would have 78 (assuming they beat soton) and we would have 71 with two games in hand. Need to beat them. Looking so much better than it has though

Despite all the ifs, buts and maybes, the reality is that the Arse have dropped 4 points in their last 2 games - they are feeling the pressure and I reckon they are fucked.

We’ll have two games in hand on them when we play them.

They play Southampton on Friday night so you’d imagine even with their recent wobble they’ll get 3 points there and they’ll be 7 points ahead having played two games more.

Then it’s the big one!

Friday Night

They don't believe they'll beat City and Newcastle, do they.
