The Title Race 2022/23

[Chi-town blues]

Not the first, or the last, but perhaps a top ten classic from ArseTv

Arse tv ?

 

[Saddleworth2]

You missed out resplendent and re-ally good.

in fact the best team in the land and all the world?

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

To be fair after the events around the country last year including us breaking the goal posts, when did that become a thing after winning the league ? they had to do something and just banning it, though it was never really allowed, but stricter punishments is easiest and they can’t distinguish in the rules between when it’s okay and when it isn’t.
Never seen the point myself, a lot look to go on then not really know what they’re doing there.

Not sure when it became a thing after winning the league but we've done it a few times(before winning PL) when gaining promotion. Charlton and Blackburn away spring to mind.

 

[OccupiedPalestineBlues]

We've scored more goals than Arsenal (and anybody else) and have conceded fewer. We've lost four PL games, all by one goal, yet they've lost by two or three several times.
We might not be as successful as the Centurions side, but we're still bloody good.

Consider also that whatever we achieve this season will have been achieved during a reset where we’ve brought in a dedicated striker and altered the way we play to accommodate that.
Now imagine how good we could be next season when the squad’s more settled into the new way of doing it.

Mmmmmm doesn’t that thought feel good eh?

It's not over until it's over. I'm hoping we put it to bed against Chelsea. Imagine having to go into the last game needing a result?

 

[Ghostofmerlin]

I would imagine our players are itching to have a go at Chelsea. It would be nice to win the league against them after they beat us in the CL final 2 years ago.

It’ll be over sat evening when Arsenal get beat at Forest

Forest can do it for us Saturday

 

[City Raider]

Hunting them down will leave a legacy beyond this season. We’ve proven we can win from the front and now Pep has shown we can chase too. Any team in future title races will have to deal with so much pressure. Arsenal simply couldn’t handle it.

 

[Metal Biker]

It’ll be over sat evening when Arsenal get beat at Forest

Even a draw is enough, with the GD.

we just have to match or better Arsenal's result this weekend.

 

[ctwrd]

I'm sure at the match if result is going our way then there will be plenty warning over the tannoy.

Let's say on the Final whistle someone slides on and injures Kev's ankle, someone else passes a stomach bug or covid to Erling and they both miss the remaining fixtures. Would you still be so lenient?

We've had our moments on the last game of the season to win the league and celebrate like maniacs but this is not the time for it, still plenty business to be done!

Pep and the players wouldn't want it on this occasion!

You are spot on but the morons whose highlight of their season is running on to try and grab hold of one of the players will shout you down.

Well worth a read and to see the 93:20 moment again.

Arsenal & Man City: When teams have let Premier League title leads slip

While pundits and fans debate whether Arsenal have 'bottled' an eight-point lead, BBC Sport looks at other substantial advantages overturned in Premier League title races.

PS. I still can’t watch that Sergio PL title winning goal without crying at the end. :-)

Forest can do it for us Saturday

Even a draw isn't enough for Arsenal. We could lose all three remaining games and we'd still be champions. On goal difference. And Forest definitely need the point/points. We could be celebrating on Saturday evening. Although it would be bittersweet if we go out of the CL.

We don't actually. They could draw, we could lose. You said it yourself. We're not going to lose a twenty-goal advantage in three games. That's another advantage of the weekend results: it swung the GD another six goals in our direction.

Nah. It's done.

Didn't realise the Rags had blown it so many times. Bottle merchants.

 

[BillCarlisle]

They had something prepared at Everton on the weekend in case of possible pitch invasions where stewards are lined up ready to take the players off the pitch if an invasion does happen think it would be similar at our ground.

City will surely by now have figured out that its cheaper to take on extra stewards than to pay yet another fine. Not to mention the possibility of a points deduction.

 

[skillman]

I’ve gone from absolute certainty levels of confidence yesterday to praying we wrap it up this weekend and not having to go to Brentford/Brighton needing a win.

Mind you, Arsenal would have to win all their games too which I can’t see happening. Come on Forest!

 

[Gremlin]

A pitch invasion(or not) won't ruin my enjoyment.

It will if they decide to make an example and give us a points deduction
