The Title Race - 2023/24

I think many predicted thst a low to mid 80's pts tally would be good enough for the eventual winners. That does make the game a much better emwatch this season. As football fans twists, turns and drama.it's what the games all about really.

Nah City will be in the 90s and cruising come the business end of the CL.

Was saying that 86 pts win the league this season. Maybe I was wrong, though.

Now I think 83 pts win the league, if you have the best GD. Maybe even 82 pts!

Might prove crucial that. I would think it will be a close call come May the game at their place might be a deciding factor. Perhaps it will be our turn to lose one of those close finishes though.

Yes I've also had the feeling myself that we may narrowly miss out on the last day, we've won every last day title battle so we are certainly due to miss out on one on the last day.

Those drawn games cost us 8 points alone.

The Bus Wrecker one would have us 3 points better off against their total. We would now have 39pts to their 41pts with a game in hand.

In every one of those games we were the better team but midfield and defensive frailties cost us dear. If we sort that out we can go on to win the four in a row.

The dippers will also be regretting certain results - the VAR game at Spurs, their draw at Luton and even the home game against the rags.
It’s classic football fan psyche (I’m as guilty as everyone else) to only dwell on your own team’s dropped points!

It's ours, if we want it.

I'm not sure I do. Far better that it's shared around.

Last night was huge

I like the idea of being just 2 points behind the Dippers and chasing them, the pressure we put on teams is a LOT and we've seen teams crumble when they know we are on their heels

But, we have to play them at Klanfield, that is going to be really difficult match for us even to get a point

It's going to be a tight one this year, still not convinced by us but everyone is dropping points

Was most worried by Arsenal before last night

They should be bloody delighted with their draw at Luton. A point they did not deserve.

 

[SWP's back]

I agree that Spurs aren't good enough, but Arsenal absolutely are IMO.

You can’t have been watching them.

 

[Damanino]

looks much better than few weeks ago. we do need rivals dropping points in unexpected way. Villa-Sheffield 1-1, Pool-Arse 1-1, Pool-rags 0-0, Arse-WHU 0-2

keep them coming...

No,they don't have the mentality. Just like a digestive biccy, they crumble under pressure. Liverpool are the ones we need to worry about. Only one defeat so far, and they were robbed in that one (and no, I don't have much sympathy for them).
