The Title Race - 2023/24

[Don Karleone]

As long as we are competing then that’s all we can ask for. Sometimes sides will do better than you and if they do, they deserve what they achieve. If we get over 88 points again then you can’t really ask for more than that.

I think that's a good point. Especially after what the majority of this group of players achieved last season.

just concentrate on luton this sat,do the business and go top,arse and dippers then under immense presure

You’re right. I’ve just noticed that we play 24 hours before them, so if we get the 3 points and sit pretty on top Saturday night, they BOTH have to win or we remain above them. Squeaky bum time.

Spurs and maybe Brighton.

That’s not fantastic, captain.

As a Blue that has gambled heavily at times in the last 20 years, very surprised to see us as favourites. Hope the Betfair punters and bookies who use it are right.

I've a feeling arsehole will do it this year, the addition of Rice and them keeping their defence fit and strong will be key.

I would love it if we managed to win it but based on our performances vs the top sides I'm not sure we deserve it this year.

 

[Mancity1980]

Bookies have us as favourites again but only just. Going to be interesting.

The odds seem to swing after every game that any of the three of us play.

At first glance I thought you were saying “I’ve a feeling in my ar@ehole we’ll do it this year”!

What is it about Everton that people keep thinking there is to fear, for Liverpool?

Everton are shite but a derby's a derby.

Drew 0-0 there last season. Drew 2-2 and 0-0 there in 2020. Drew 0-0 in 2019 and 2018. And drew again in 2016, 2015.

Not expecting an Everton win but an under-par Liverpool performance is possible.

Were the only team in the league who are not bottlers let’s win all our games and see what happens come on you blue boys

 

[Bluewars II]

If we win the league this season it will be the best of the lot - a somewhat transitional season, big injuries and two challengers rather than the usual one

Define 'best'
Coz 18/19 was sensational, two genuinely world class teams going machine for machine.

This race feels like the best of the worst bunch.
