The Title Race - 2023/24

[supercity88]

Why wonder about Spurs, West Ham, or whatever team in the PL. They all wanna beat us, beat the champions, beat the treble winners.

We win twice and we win the league. 180 plus minutes to do it.

I know three West Ham fans and every single one of them wants us to win the league ahead of Arsenal. Arsenal fans are detested by most of the London clubs even if they have bigger rivalries. The West Ham fans I know are more than happy wanting Spurs to lose tonight of course, but then want their team to do the same on the weekend. Apparently the Arsenal fans have come out of the woodwork over the past couple of years and reminding everyone just how obnoxious they are.

The league is already won.

Emotions count for shit, city have killers in that team and will deliver.

Pep’s words in his presser tells me all I need to know. He is snarky and angry and that’s how his team will play tonight.

Nailed it again with the reasons why United, chavs and arse should win it every season because they have spent the most money.

The media have kicked the hornets nest again at the perfect time.

Boring? Haha fuck off!

Were they? I don’t remember anybody saying that.

Can't be arsed lookig back, take my word for it, it was mentioned. And rightly met with putdowns.

Oh right, you meant on here? That doesn’t surprise me then.

Thought you meant in real life originally.

It isn't. No need to exaggerate.

We are favourites for a reason. That's all.

Jesus loves a trier
Call off the town crier
Clang that razor wire and
Meditate, medicate, meditate.

I’m not. You can feel insecure about it all you want.

I am also not being disrespectful to spurs or West Ham. This city team is amazing and I would be doing the manager and players a huge disservice by not acknowledging that instead of highlighting how other teams can beat us.

We will get the job done tonight and on Sunday. I won’t be swayed. Enjoy the week but for me it’s done.

That's a bit rich from someone who was ready to write our chances off already in December.

I was optimistic back then and I'm optimistic today. Because we have a great team. But nothing in football is guaranteed at 100%, say a win vs Wigan. Would be foolish to think otherwise.

 

[supercity88]

We don’t have to imagine. Three times we played end of season games against teams going for the title against United.

Blackburn away, where we won. That was different though because we were still smack bang in the middle of a relegation battle and had our own shit to worry about.

Villa away. We got beat in the end after I think Niall Quinn put us in front. It kicked off City V City after one of the Villa goals, with some City fans cheering the goal and others taking exception.

And Leeds at home, when we battered them 4-0 and they beat United to the title anyway. But loads of blues were saying they hope we get beat before the game.

I suggested mid-late noughties purely because we'd been a long time without a trophy then, like Spurs and suffered nothing but shite from our rivals like them. But the rags hadn't also been waiting for a title the way Arsenal are so there's no point in time that's the same or even similar really. Leeds maybe as the best comparison? I was just a nipper then so can't comment.

I'm quite calm, I trust the players and manager to get us over the line again
