The Title Race 2022/23

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.

Fair enough, but will you be happy enough if we turn you over to help us winning the league at Arsenal's expense?

 

[TonyM]

I'd be happy with that.

 

[SebastianBlue]

You have me confused now.

100%. Will gladly lose to you lot for the greater good. Not that we’re good enough to stop you anyway.

Wouldn’t have made much difference. A draw on the 26th would still have left us a point behind if we’d both won the rest.

The difference is more if we beat Arsenal - we would be a point ahead rather than level and relying on goal difference.

Still, I’ll take a league win on goal difference.

It would be poetic symmetry, as well as a huge psychological weight around the neck of a truly shithouse club.

They've not been to the Etihad when it truly matters, they're going to be in for a shock. United and Liverpool have both experienced this.

Seems to have had a memory labotomy that we turned them over at their place just a few weeks ago (where yes, there was little or no atmosphere). Not sure they have ever beaten us in the league under Pep

 

[lasereyes]

I don't see it like that, they have the points on the board and Ok we have to play them, but that only put us under more pressure when we face them,

Arsenal know playing at the Etihad will be all on us to win the game, Yes we are good enough to beat anybody home and away, but we are still in the FA Cup and Champions League and that could be the key,

You know it can work both ways. I think we kinda benefit from playing every 3 days (momentum and all that)-- and if we turn over Bayern, there will be massive belief throughout the team

our fixtures couldn't be much easier the Arsenal game aside

Leicester, West Ham, Leeds, Chelsea all of whom are basically all either without a manager or just got a new manager and carried on being shit.

Fulham, Everton, Brighton, Brentford away.

 

[Stoned Rose]

If we beat Arsenal and win our game in hand then all we have to do is match Arsenal's results in the last series of games and they have tougher games. So really it all hinges on the Arsenal match.

Read your first sentence.

Then read your second sentence.

Like when another country invaded his own and committed mass murder, you mean?

Not sure why everyone says its in our hands. I think it makes us favourites now but bar the game on the 26th April we have no control over what arsenal do. If we win every game 1-0 and they win every game 3-0 (bar the defeat to us obviously) they would win on goal difference so whilst that draw gives a momentum swing it's not quite as simple as win our games and we are champions though it should be enough if we do it's not a given.

Game on

We will beat them 6-0 anyway, so don’t worry. As long as you take care of your results, you should be fine. City when there is a title on the line rarely slip up so I have every confidence in you guys getting over the line again this season.

Arsenal fans telling the world they are delighted with a Draw

 

[r.soleofsalford]

While I was bouncing at the draw and it give us a better chance, it`s muchtoo early to tell ourselves we won this. Still a long way to go and there is no sign of the fat lady turning up any time soon.

Wouldn’t say easier looking at those last 2 games…

Wrong.
If we win every game (including Arse) we win the title. So it's in our hands.

 

[Revolver]

At half time at Anfield it seemed to me that although not mathematically so the league was gone.

45 mins later whilst it’s a tough call for us to win it it’s clear that Arsenal are no machine and they have let us back in it.

Whatever happens this is one of the more enjoyable title races we are in. Seems to me this is almost a free hit for us with our record of winning it and being in other cup comps

If Arsenal don’t win it this year they may be in for a long wait till they do win it

 

[NZBlue]

No. If we win all ours and they win all theirs except against us, then we tie on 94 points so it goes to goal difference. If they heavy outscore us between now and then they win it
