The Title Race 2022/23

[jimharri]

“City destroyed Arsenal this weekend. They destroyed them mentally and, because of that, destroyed them physically too. They beat their wings at Goodison Park and several hours later a tornado hit the capital.” - Martin Samuel

Arsenal took to the field like men who believed title race was over

Samuel is a fantastic journalist. He doesn't have an agenda to peddle, unlike Panja, Harris, Delaney and Liew.

I’ve been talking about this one in the Haaland record thread.

If he manages to score against Chelsea and Brentford he will have scored against every single one of the top 20 teams in English football (including Burnley) in a single season across all competitions.*

This has never been done before.

I went way back into the records and the closest I found was Dixie Dean who scored against everybody except West Ham in his record breaking season.

*Edit: I should be clear this is the top 20 excluding us

So if he manages this what odds would I get for him to score an own goal in the last game, after he’s put us 3 up that is.

Exactly.
but hey let's not throw our caps in the air just yet,
The league, the C/L and the FAcup. surely we'll win at least one of the fuckers

I was just trying to take my mind off tomorrow night.

Possibly. A man of many faces, perhaps? I've never met him.
Tired, emotional and dishevelled down the local. But putting on a bow tie before typing his posts on here.
That's the image, and I'm sticking to it.

Rebus in a pub
Rumpole in a pub
Simon Callow(as either 4 weddings bloke or Tom Chance) in a pub
Fitz aka cracker in a pub

Will happen one day, one fact overlooked by many is how many near post headers he wins from opposition corners, he’ll get one wrong eventually (hopefully not this season) and bullet it in the top corner

Everything you're saying confirms the image I have in my mind's eye.

Has anyone checked in on Alan Davies? I hear there’s three pints of milk sitting at his door.

Who the fuck is Alan Davies.

So; was it 8 points (albeit with a game more played than us at that time) that was the furthest we were behind Arsenal this season?

No. Arsenal had 8 points more with the same number of games played at one point.
After 19 games , Arsenal had 50 points
After 19 games , City had 42 points

You’ve snookered me on that reply

 

[Tb1981]

The way I see it the question is are arsenal capable of getting 90 plus points
Doesn’t matter who is top after 17 games
the dippers nearly caught us last year and we are way better than arsenal

Glad the answer was no!!

As they all involved the pub at least they didn't mention Shane McGowen
