The Title Race 2022/23

[Mcfc1.9.8.0]

By the time Brighton play us there is good chance they would be knackered as well..They play on

8th
14th
18th
21st
24th (us)
28th

That is not a easy schedule for even us let alone a team with a thin squad.

Not to mention Chelsea and Brentford have nothing to play for anymore. Brentford are too far from the 7th currently and it is extremely unlikely they would need a result on the final day.

Add to that if arsenal smash them like the media think they will and Liverpool united and Newcastle win they will be too far ahead of them by the time we play them to catch up

win Everton and win Chelsea and its over, 2 points required from the final two games and thats only if Arsenal get 100% results, i think they will drop 2 points from either Brighton (H) or Forest (A) if that happens we will be champions after the Chelsea game unless ofcourse they win there final game by at least 17-0 and we lose both games

Even if Everton loose against Brighton i would still expect Everton to play for a draw against us.They still have two very winnable games to play against Bournemouth & Southampton.

There’s no ‘winnable’ games when you’re in their position, as we well know from previous experiences.

TBH i can only see 4 points maximum from Evertons remaining games and thats if they get there act toghether, they cant sit back and defend a 0-0 with city in the hope of getting points from the other two matches,i think they will drop if they lose today and we beat them

Yes..the best case scenario for us is Brighton having nothing to play at that time which is possible considering the fixture list they have. However it is also unlikely because (realistically) it is spurs vs brighton for the final Europa spot. This battle will go down to the end I believe..

At the moment, it is very much possible (probable I would say) for Brighton to kick spurs to conference league.

Some people are talking about Everton like they are top of the league and are on a 20 game unbeaten run. Am I missing something?

It's not Peps squad they're doubting mate, it's their own mentality that they're questioning.

They should stay at home, turn off the telly and hide behind the couch. These are the best times of City and Arsenal suppirters lives.

Is it 5th - 7th get Europa and 8th gets Conference? I can never remember if we get 2 or 3 Europa places.

Re the general worry/don’t worry discussion about the league, I think it’s perfectly reasonable to acknowledge we have the complication of the UCL semi final matches interrupting the PL run in. I’m also confident we’ll secure the title, but the impact of those 2 games might play some role.
