The Title Race - 2023/24

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

I think it is just a freak season to be honest. Liverpool have the story of Jurgen Flopp leaving, we have the 4 continuous Premier league story and Arsenal have the reinvented team through Arteta thing going on and seem to have built upon the failures from last season. But I am sure there will be another drama/bizarre game week yet as there is no way all 3 are winning every game until the end of the season. I am struggling to recall an intense 3 way title race.

As I remember it — and I'm a bit hazy, because it is a long time ago — '68 was very open till close to the end, with about three teams plausibly in it. Was it maybe even four?

The rags could effectively decide the title if they beat both the dippers and Arse

Yep, dippers were only a point behind the rags and Leeds weren't far behind in 4th place. With about 3 games to go, any one of 4 could have won it.

If it's to beat arsenal to the title they'll happily let us.

:)

You mean like Everton did in 2014, where they fought us tooth and nail? (I know you're not serious). No, there'll be no free lunches, no handouts from anyone. For any of the three teams.

Yeah, but then again, pigs could fly, if they could find some way of giving them wings ;-)

We live in hope :-)
With a bit of luck tomorrow Poundland will take divine inspiration from our SPP campaign and Howard Webb will be on VAR.
Otherwise I fear the worst.

Professional players don't. Their contracts and careers are built on giving 100% plus none are local. The rivalry is only for fans

It was tongue in cheek.

Spurs might still be fighting to finish 4th. No way they'll bend over for us.

So could Tottenham , they play us Arsenal and the Dips

2013/14 was an equally close 3 team race at this stage of the season between us, dippers and chelski if I recall correctly. Chelsea had a shock defeat at home to Sunderland with 3 games to go and then beat the dippers away to let us in

didnt realise the arse have to play the rags, historic results say thay can beat them but thats about it, 21 points to go at between 3 very good sides and only one winner, dosnt matter how good any of the 3 sides are because even the best of the best will get turned over at some point, just like city in previous title winning seasons, so wouldnt raise an eybrow if villa beat arsenal or draw next week the same with united v liverpool tomorrow, we must win our remaining games and if we do we will most likely be champions again, remember there is 21 points to win and 21 points to drop, there will be a few twists and turns for all 3 sides in the next few weeks
