The Title Race - 2023/24

[Mancity1980]

On tonight's showing neither Villa or Arsenal will win the league.
The dippers will be our only challengers.

And on this afternoon's showing Liverpool won't win it.
Shame we won't either based on our showing against Villa.
And as for Spurs ;)

So, basically NO ONE is going to win it?….:)

 

[Mancity1980]

As said months ago, nobody will be within 20 points of City.

Wow, that is confidence!

 

[Tolmie scores]

Win tomorrow we are 4 points off them, a normal gap for us this time of year. No big deal.

Agreed If we win...we will need to match them. Take more points off them in two games and that includes playing them away.. could be done but this is our weakest squad in years.

On our showing v Villa..we do have to be realistic one of 7 could win it..unless liverpool dont run off with it 3 x teams on 78 - 87 points?

Seeing Lego hair arse clown Arteta bitching about the handball (which obviously was) and then storming out before the whistle blew like a petulant child was a pleasure. Also seeing Jesus crying and whining as he always does makes me so glad he's no longer in City blue.

Was Jesus that much of a little prick when he was here or did I just turn a blind eye out of being biased?

Could be a bit of a mard arse on the pitch.

I mean - he was soft no doubt and he did cry his fair share but i know i let it go most of the time. Of course... if its like the game and nothing matters after the play was offsides... he never did anything wrong.

 

[Crooked_rain]

Still a hell of a long way to go

Teams always drop points unexpectedly, have dips in form etc etc. Including us


There's no doubting we haven't been at the races for a few weeks now but only being 4 points ahead of us (if we win tomorrow) is a dangerous place to be, so we are right in it , just got to pick up the performance is up and we'll be alright.

We are not even halfway through yet. Its not even worth speculating that much at the moment

And this is why they won’t win it the pressure cranking up sees them fold more so when a result doesn’t go their way ..

I hope we can get back to this sort of form

We will still be comfortable winners as long as this mini-slump is fixed in the next 10 days.

If it lasts through Christmas then we might be in real trouble by the time Kev comes back.

Yup, hold serve until Kevin returns. Starts tomorrow

Forget Arsenal! The Scousers look like they are on course to do another COVID title by getting numerous decisions given to them by PGMOL and their referees after Klopp and LFC went public and complained about the disallowed goal at Spurs. Only City can stop them again.

 

[Frankie lad]

Looking at our performances against all the top teams so far,Villa aside we outplayed them all and looked the better outfit even though we didn’t get 3 points united aside.
Villa are as refreshing as a refreshing thing but there is no standout team otherwise and we are bang in there and can win it but have to put games we are dominating to bed and cut out stupid mistakes at the back out.
I think Pep maybe enjoying this challenge.

 

[JewelZee]

Arsenal would have been fine today if they'd only gotten 10 or 12 more minutes of stoppage time. Maybe there's a combined fixed quota of bogus stoppage time minutes for the red fuckers and the Dippers used them all up at Palace. If they'd have known Elliott would score in the 91st they could have saved a few for the Arse...

For sure. I'm done making myself feel better about this club's recent run as it's unacceptable the amount of points we've dropped and the chances we've squandered.

That said there's by my math 69 points to be had yet and the parity that this league has shown this season tells me every team who even has a striker's chance at the title will drop a hatful of points before the final day.

LiVARpool in my heart are the ones who worry me the most but their leave it late heroics will run out.

I'll sing a different tune if we even drop points tomorrow as to my glass half full view of our title chances: if we do not lay down a marker tomorrow it speaks to a much less surmountable barrier than point difference... if the fortitude and drive to pull ourselves up amidst adversity aren't there we're not getting that back anytime soon and you can bet it will get alot worse before it gets better.

If we can get our backsides into gear we should be ok. But there are worrying signs that a certain club seems to be getting some favourable decisions like a few seasons back.

Not when we lose 30000 points ;)
