The Title Race - 2023/24

[Father Paul]

I don’t see us favourites now.. how can we be? having to play one of the the other three challenges when the league leaders don’t and then having to play them at theirs and needing a win. Oh, and we have less GD. Forget what the bookies say.. Dippers are now favourites. SHIT DAY.

Probably need something at the dippers now and maybe a win. We also have three other games to navigate before we visit them. Not sure we can get beyond 84 or 85 points so we need them to start fucking up. Then of course the Arsenal are still in the equation. While most still expect them to implode I am not so sure.

Loads of games, loads of points and Gooners and Dippers will not win all their games, injuries and cards now a factor. CITY well placed like Seb Coe in his prime to come from behind at the final corner, a turbo burst across the line and bobs your unncle our 4th title in a row.......Believe and Support till the end.

If we beat Brentford and go 2nd in the table 1 point behind Liverpool, the Chelsea draw will be forgotten. Then it’s game on again.

We go above Arsenal by a point too, and they're very much in the title race. I think it's the upcoming tough fixtures and the lack of wins against the Top 5 that is causing this pessimism.

Last season late slump and title loss to City is spurring Arsenal on, as well as the signing of Rice, who doesn’t look like he’s doing much, but it allows Odegaard to get forward more and to play the passes and score the goals. Similar to what Kev does for City. I appreciate their last two game have been against West Ham and Burnley, but to score 11 goals takes some doing.

We won so much in the last dozen years that missing out on any league title hurts so much and why a few are losing there heads! Bottom line we will there if it ain't good enough it ain't good enough you can't win the league every year for eternity!

100% if we lose at Klanfield we are unlikely to be champions. The problem is as poorly as they play at times they have goalscorers who constantly bail them out. That and the help they'll get along the way could be the difference.

With Liverpool they let teams come on to them defend deep then they can hit teams with there best players up top as in we never do that it's all about dominating the ball

Win our next two games and it will all seem better

Could do with Chelsea beating the victims next week just to knock their confidence

12 months ago today we drew at Forest and the doom merchants were out in force. Not promising this season will have the same outcome but way too soon to be coming to conclusions now with the inevitable twists and turns still to come.
