The Title Race - 2023/24

[Phil1]

That's the spirit!

Hands of stone heart of glass.

In 3 weeks we'll be points clear.

If the dippers win then for me I think it’s over sadly

Just got to win all of our games. Make one of the other contenders win it, rather than us giving it them. There would be no shame in not winning the title with 91 points on the board. If someone else betters that, fair play to them.

Longest winning run by ANYONE this whole season is eight - we get that that's some run - especially with the likes of Spurs away which we never win (league game)

It is just regining Arsenal in is the sticking point.

the presure cooker gasket will burst,and it may be there villa game next week but it will happen

They'll slip up, just like Liverpool today. It's up to us to keep the pressure on.

We'll win it with a game to spare.

At the minute its hard to pick a game where they do drop points. Maybe Spursy or even a longer shot Chelsea.

And a wrong one, in my opinion. 2019, in the face of a ferocious opponent, tops the lot for best achievement. Part of a treble, we had De Bruyne missing for 75% of the season, achieved the second highest points total ever at that time, and won our last 14 games when 13 wins and a draw would not have got the job done.

Totally agree. It will take some serious beating.

Yeah he's been brilliant for them, think Endo has also done a good job for them, but the third guy Szobozslai was very poor.

Tbf they should have been5 up and coasting today just poor finishing let them drop a couple of away points - but i think they would say a point at the swamp pre game wouldn't be disastrous

Let’s be honest for a min…

City should have been out of the race this season with:

1. our indifferent form
2.treble hangover
3.going for 4 titles
4. Overall mental and physical exhaustion
5. Relying on a league 2 player in haaland
6. Still 3 trophies to win
7. Fair share of injuries especially to key players.
8. Brutal March fixture list.
9. Losing Gundo and Mahrez.
10. Signing Philips leaving Rodri no break again.

Yet here we are. Fucking hell city!!!

Going off Villa's game vs Brentford it is a bit of a tough call. I did expect Brighton to give them a bit more of a test.

I don’t think Spurs are all that and even if they were, if we go into the last week of the season (spurs game likely to be then) needing two wins to win the title, I expect this team to get it done.
