The Title Race 2022/23

We need to hold onto this buffer for dear life. At the moment we can lose a game which keeps the feelings of jeopardy at arms length.

The moment we surrender that comfort then things are going to get twitchy. That’s when mistakes and uncertainty creep in.

It’s as if we’re currently 2-0 up with 15 minutes to play. You don’t want to concede a goal in the next 5-10 minutes. Much better would be us beating Leeds and Arsenal dropping points versus the barcodes to make it 3-0.

No because Arsenal can still get 90 points.

If we win 3, draw 1 and lose 1 then we finish on 89 points.

But we could afford to draw two games and reach 90.

The only game left i think we'll struggle in is Everton because it's inbetween the Madrid games and they'll make it a bearpit.

Chelsea game wouldn't be easy

Warm downs. Massages. R&R days off. Sex. In the fridge.

Short fun training. Ruthless. Relentless. Remorseless.

Do forget that we have the GOALDEN POINT !!

Nowhere near as stressful as when we were going toe to toe with Utd or Liverpool

Summed it up perfectly. Let's keep that potential defeat "in the bank" for as long as possible. If we can win the next two, and Arsenal drop points at Newcastle or against Brighton the following weekend (both would be too much to hope for!), we could then afford to lose two out of the last three and still win the title, assuming Arsenal don't claw back 15+ goals in the run in.

Chelsea game wouldn't be easy

That's the easiest one of the lot. They are awful under Lampard

 

[Coatigan]

Isn't it a loss and a draw given its 4 points with much better goal difference

No, because that would be 5 points.

 

[RiversideBlue]

Can't see Arsenal winning at Newcastle. Beat Leeds and the title is ours

A defeat and a draw is five points dropped, not 4.
