The Title Race 2022/23

[D'Silva]

It all unraveled for Arsenal after that disaster back to back draws in Liverpool and West Ham. After that opening I knew City wouldn't waste this opportunity. If City win the next games against Real and Chelsea we can relax and celebrate until June.

Need that blue pills to get it up ( no pun intended )

 

[KS55]

I know! Jesus, where the hell did that come from?

It came from our now habitual flawless run in. How many times have we done this now? Teams can chase us, even lead us, but sure as night follows day, we will put together a sequence of wins on the run in. Beware, genius at work.
Pep, on the 15th of Jan: ”Right guys, time to get it done.”

The answer to the conundrum is that the idiots (mostly blokes not kids) who think that it’s the best thing ever to bring shame on our club and introduce a risk of points deductions by running around on the pitch like a bunch of bubble blowing telly tubbies, going oooooooh look at me in the manner of total dickheads, should just grow the fuck up and not give the FA any possible excuse to dock points or impose fines etc.

Fuck you I can't wait to get on the pitch! Solidarity with Palestine though

 

[Big Joe Corrigan]

Would it really suprise anyone though. We've done it everytime we won the title. I think we will most likely get fined but any sort of point deductions would be near impossible

They would also have to hand out the same punishment to Wrexham and Northampton.

Thanks for that and much appreciated.

Congratulations, Mancs, on another title. I was at the Emirates today and Brighton did a number on us but frankly, I thought they were the better side. We looked jaded and kind of proved my point in countless posts on here from early in the season when I knew we didn’t have the strength of depth to cover injuries to key players. Anyway, no excuses, you have the strongest squad in the league so no surprise. I hope you win the treble by the way and if not, at least squash Man U at Wembley.

Enjoy your summer and for me it’s cricket time now. Hoping Kent can surprise me and do something (unlikely) and more importantly, we win the Ashes!

See you in August.

Respect mate

Depends if the telly tubbies feel the need to run around squealing like demented toddlers or not. Nobody with any respect for the club will do it.

Everyone knows that the last thing the club needs is to be rubbished in the media for failing to control it’s supporters, to have a run in with the PL, to suffer a fine or even a points deduction.
And there’s no need for it anyhow, it’s childish.

It’s been done, I understand it when the emotion levels were high but we’ve (potentially) won it three times in a row and pitch invasion doesn’t fit right with me on this occasion

I remember telling him they’ve dipped for the line with 11 games to go & it will be their undoing.

Apparently he knew best……..

I know what you mean, if we beat Chelsea on Sunday the Etihad will go off big time, fuck June.

 

[Bazzmand Show]

I find all the 'bottled it' shit rather cringe, as it totally discredits us. We put the foot down about 8 weeks ago and thats that.

I don't get Arsenal conceding the title and all the pundits saying it's done. It's never over until the fat lady sings. Sure it's very difficult and I hope to God it is over but this scenario changes it entirely. Arsenal beat Forest on Saturday. One point behind, they have one game left. Everyone then expects us to beat Chelsea on Sunday.....but...we draw or lose. We then have two very tough away games and need two, or one point, providing as expected Arsenal beat Wolves on the final day. We lose at Brighton. It's then squeaky bum time on the final day. Now of course we all hope Arsenal.lose to Forest on Saturday and it's party time on Sunday. Please God.

 

[Sir peace frog]

You have to believe you are the best, you have to show the rest of the league you are the best, they had to show everyone when they played us they deserved to be champions ,we fucking mauled them, we didn't just beat arsenal we destroyed them, I keep telling everyone we are the best team in world football, doesn't mean we can't get beaten, but no team comes near us, isn't big headed it's true,

we need to show on Wednesday who we are, no doubts, beat teams before we play them

 

[alexmcity]

I find all the 'bottled it' shit rather cringe, as it totally discredits us.

And the 'Real are nothing special' shit is rather cringe too. Leave it to Liverpool and United fans to argue City have it easy this season.

Are you joking Paul? I am a typically pessimistic “typical City” fan but you really think we won’t win one of our last 3 games? Tbh I don’t see arsenal winning at forest so I think we will win it before Sunday

 

[Coatigan]

That facet to this squad is criminally underreported. And unacknowledged by some on here, lamentably.

Their metal resolve is incredible. Eleven wins on the spin and counting. At the business end of the season. Whilst still fighting on all extant cup fronts.

Pep is a fucking genius.

A lot of talk about how Arsenal's mentality changed and how our former players would have added to the fear of being chased down, but Pep really deserves a mention too, with the subtle mind games over the last number of weeks.

I've mentioned this a couple of times, in this run of wins, he shifted to almost dismissing the early part of the season. Talking about how players are so much more focused at the end when they know each game is a 'final' and wins are more important, where as they were a bit 'relaxed' before.

Sure, it spurs on our players then, and lets them put previous dropped points behind them. But imagine also being Arsenal, having raced ahead and hardly dropped anything in the first part of the season, effectively being told it doesn't matter and the real battle is now.

I'm not saying any of this WILL happen but I get uneasy celebrating something that isn't done yet. It will be a bearpit at Forest on Saturday as they fight for survival and I hope they win and it's a totally relaxed day of celebration for us on Sunday.
