The Title Race - 2023/24

Not true - if Arse and scousers win all their games then Arse likely win on GD (although I know you were talking about our title chances)

That’s a completely valid point!

I agree with @BringBackSwales this will be the best season. Football works in cycles and we are working in a lot of new players and to do that whilst still winning is a major feat because you are up against a team further along their transition (Liverpool, although it looks like they will to reset next season) and a team at the top of their cycle (Arsenal).

fair point, I for one have not enjoyed this Epl season, I think we've looked in-cohesive and defensively naive (which is understandable coming off a treble)
Can't really remember many games were we looked in top gear. I'm more than happy if we pick up a cup trophy and go again next year.

Could it yet be 2 games vs the arse (in the Champions league) makes the difference ?

Shame manure couldn't carve out the win but a draw isn't too bad tbh. Just got to do our bit and hope for a few slips to let us in. Things are just about to get very interesting.

Any excuse.

What word do you think they would have used to describe it?

Unfair

Not our fault

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.

There's only one point in it.
I wouldn't throw the towel in just yet.

Anyone saying we don’t deserve it with 7 games to go and a point difference are off their fucking heads.

Ive loved another Premier league season where there’s been twists and turns. (I refuse to say EPL….. sorry, it’s perhaps an age thing)
Some of our football has been sublime, some not so.
Take 2 out of the top 5 players in the World out of a team for months on end and you’ll see a difference in performance levels.
Context is everything.

Yeah you're right, if we don't win it I couldn't care less how its won or who wins it!
