The Title Race - 2023/24

[Stelea]

You’re right, although Bayern have won theirs nine times in a row!

Bayern not this year though by the looks of it

Win at Anfield?

I think we're going to have to. Admittedly our record there is not er <cough> great.

 

[Chippy_boy]

It's still in our hands, entering the home straight. Given the ropey autumn we had, I'm not sure we could ask for much more right now. Trips to the cultists, Spursy and the Amex will be tough; no argument from me on that score. But you know what; we're not a bad side. And they won't be looking forward to facing us either.

Said the same to my Mrs only yesterday. The others will surely fear playing us more than us fearing them.

Media already talking about a dipper quadruple and they've not won a trophy yet

Already? They’ve been at it since early December the cunts.

I think that months of quadruple hysteria in the media ultimately has a detrimental effect on a team's chances of pulling it off. I think that very possibly played a part with us more than once and two years ago the dippers ended up without either of the two major prizes - not that we didn't deserve to win the league that season. 12 months ago we were spared that by going out of the Carabao in January and were almost able to creep up to the treble by stealth with it hardly being mentioned by the media as a possibility until Arsenal's collapse in April.
What irritates me more is that describing any treble or quadruple that includes the Thursday night nonsense needs investigating by Trading Standards!

Apparently the rags have now entered the race…

The race to the bottom?



Then the rags -:)

Liverpool having Europa league games either side of the game at Anfield could have a big part to play .... hopefully they get someone tough

I want to believe, but my spider senses are telling me the league will manipulate a new winner. Either Arsenal or Liverpool. Both have compelling stories to sell the league to the worldwide masses.
I'm old and jaded, and realistic.

Same argument has been said every year and yet we continuously triumph.

The lack of clean sheets over the season will be more likely the reason.

Sort that issue out and we will be the team to beat once again.

Expect in the coming weeks we’ll see what Pep’s ‘go to’ team is, who he picks when the chips are down, and I fully expect that to include Grealish who I think is going to be huge for us. He might not be a stat padder but as with Bernardo he keeps possession and were more able to sustain attacks and wear teams down.

Ederson
Walker Dias Ake
Stones Rodri
Bernardo Foden KDB Grealish
Haaland
