The Title Race - 2023/24

[bluenova]

Since we left for the Club World Cup, Liverpool have dropped 4 pts, Arsenal and Villa 2 pts each.

And we came home with a nice shiny trophy.

Not a bad week.

No team really standing out this season.

Been a very strange season so far. Looks like around 85 will be enough.

It all comes down to whether Rodri is injured or not. If it is a knee problem he will be out for months, if not the season, and we can kiss goodbye to this season. He is that important to us. SIMPLE AS!!

There were quite a few on here throwing in the towel two or three weeks ago. I said back then, that I hadn't given up on it. And I see no reason to change that view.

A draw would be superb!

This is worth reposting tonight.

They all know …

Our next few games we will see if we are still within this mindset, the only difference is this time if we do go on a juggernaut run we still have anfield to go to we also still have spurs away I'd take a draw at anfield now if offered though.

When we lost to Arsenal in 2012, in my heart of hearts I had given up. There were six matches still to be played. I dragged myself along to the ground morosely, out of a sense of duty to the team that had given me such a wonderful season. We beat West Brom, the rags lost to Wigan that evening. And the flame that was flickering in the wind, on the point of going out, roared up again.
Eighteen matches have been played (seventeen by us). Thirty eight have to be played. Sixty points are in the balance. Sixty.
Anybody giving up at this point or for a long time to come probably needs therapy. Although they'll probably come on here, because it's a cheap form of therapy.

I was at that West Brom game. Never felt as "meh" about a City win (4-0,IIRC), even after word got through about Moloney's winner for Wigan. But it does show you; keep the faith. Does that make me a happy clapper? Possibly. So be it.

The best team we have played are Villa and they had to scrap for a draw the other night against the bottom of the league , every club has been inconsistent ,us included. But there is only one club capable of taking this title race by the scruff of the neck , we can keep our big players fit we will win a 4th title on the trot and hopefuly defend ounr Champs league at Wembley.
The Dippers and Goons can fight over the scraps from our plate the FA Cup and Carabao Cup , f*cking peasants.
