The Title Race - 2023/24

[blue b4 the moon]

Well we've not played well yet this season, in the running for 5 (five) cups, Bluemoon is crying and we're just a couple of shakes of a dogs duck off the top.

Bookies have us favourites still, not as big as we were but we always obviously play better in the second half of the season.

Basically write us off???? We as blues should know much much better.

This is turning into another 'Leicester City season', no team have reached 40 points after 17 games.

We’ll win it (again)

But... but Ederson didn't save the penalty!!!

This weekend looks like it has clarified a few things. We are off the pace, dominating possession, loads of shots, not scoring enough goals - all as usual - but unlike last season leaking goals in a team that has lost the ability to see out a match. Meanwhile Arsenal Villa and Liverpool are finding a way. So whilst I support the boys to the end I’m not seeing at this point that we will put together the usual killer run of win after win. Here’s hoping but four in the trot looks a long shot without Kev, who always takes a while to bed back in, and a bench that just isn’t frightening or game changing in options we had before. With no obvious solutions for the January window. Perhaps we go all out for back to back champs leagues.

Been an absolute privilege to watch and support this team in the last few seasons. So not entitled or ranting, just being realistic.

Clichéd billocks the title race starts from the first weekend of the season.

And lasts till the final game in may.

We are less than halfway through, having had 'the worst season under pep', and yet we are two games in our favour of being top of the table again.

This is not beyond us. We just need to get back to being ruthless. And the margins falling our way would help. Having Crazy Pep back would too.

No mate. You said "We are good at chasing down a team rather than 4 or 5 of them."
I'm simply pointing out you can't know that, because we've never had to do it :-)

We've never had multiple teams in front of us and not won the league really? I never knew that:-)

Why race to the title in the first half of the season, when you can fool others into thinking we are done,
But the one thing they all missed is, when you need to go full-on when it's the run in, you then have the legs to go that extra mile

Yep, look at At Arsenal last season, they did just that and look what happened.... Ran out of breath near the finish line.

Never said it wasn't possible, just the opposite in fact. I said the title race doesn't start in March coz it doesn't. Recently if we are in it towards the end of the season we get there

Relying on the is obviously fuckwittery it really is better to win as many games as possible right from the start.

Anyhow this season we have been pretty poor so can we all agree we need that to stop pretty please.
