The Title Race - 2023/24

[Axel Freed]

This is what it’s all about people. Being in a race like this is intoxicating, for me at least.

You’ll all miss it when it’s gone.

It’s still technically a race when we’re 15 points clear.

I prefer that kind of race :-)

Big win for Arsenal today that was, overcoming a bit of adversity and grinding out a result against a Brentford side who to their credit made it really hard for them.

Those people just expecting them to implode like they did last season are in for a rude awakening.

Hopefully if City don’t win the title Arsenal will. Anything to stop the Klopp wankfest and the insufferable Coach Wreckers.

Spot on. I was hoping Brentford could hang on today but when Arsenal scored it didn’t feel as sickening as it normally would when a title rival snatches a late winner.

I said months ago that I’d happily sign for us coming 2nd to Arsenal in the PL and us retaining the CL

If it aint us that wins it Id much rather Arsenal win it than the scousers......

Win tomorrow and rags beat them next week I can but dream

Sure if it’s a procession you can never approach the unbelievable feelings of the QPR and Villa and to an extent Brighton final day wins but my preference is for the long slow burn of warmth inside that I get from weeks and weeks of us being champions elect and the unhappiness that engenders in our rivals and the media

both unlikely but the rags beating them definitely aint happening.....I watched their game today vs everton and Everton should have go a result....they were worse than they were last week. Liverpool will absolutely destroy them if they even get out of 2nd gear

We’re all different, but based on your posting history I’ll hazard you’ll reckon our chances at higher than 5%…

Very much so, the bookies make us favourites and I concur. But with my pessimist / realist hat on I’m concerned that at some point the rigours of last season will catch up with us and we may fade in the home stretch.

next week is FA cup

I still think Arsenal are going to have to win every game remaining.

That would mean they would have gone on a record 20 game league winning run which I cannot see.

They still have us, Spurs and United away whilst very likely a CL quarter final to deal with.

Whoever wins tomorrow between City and Liverpool wins it for me.

It isn’t though, is it?

Well you know what i mean. Arsenal arent fucking off and ‘they’ are doing all they can for klopps big goodbye. We HAVE to beat them both

Sorry mate, but we don’t. A win tomorrow and a draw against Arsenal would be a fantastic pair of results.

 

[Bournemouth Blue]

We have to win all our games until we can’t be caught, end of. All is not lost through, even if we lose tomorrow, but I think if we are 1 up and the ref plays 12 minutes of added time I might check in to the local coronary unit

Pleased with today's win, not pretty but 3 points is what matters. I think we'll finish 2nd behind City though but we are a better side than Liverpool and that will show over 38 matches.

I think City will win by 5 points or so, they'll get into that rhythm they always do and just relentlessly tick the wins off. Liverpool don't have enough quality in depth to do that and we (Arsenal) have some bastard away games like the Etihad and also Spurs who will come at us like berserkers to try to stop us winning the league.

Arsenal playing the best football in the league right now, but I do think your going to have to win every remaining game to give yourself the best chance. If one of City or Liverpool win tomorrow I think they will just win the remaining fixtures. Liverpool certainly will.

Just think Arsenal would have to win 20 on the bounce to do it which would be a record. I can't see that.

I do think if City draw or lose tomorrow, you can end our title challenge at the Etihad in a few weeks. If we drop points tomorrow and you beat us, I actually think the momentum would be so much that you will do 20 games in a row winning.

Is the correct answer.
