The Title Race - 2023/24

How many points will be needed to win the league?

  • Total voters
    446
  • Poll closed .
Spurs fans on Talksport saying they can win the league. Calm down lads, take this advice from an Arsenal fan who knows only too well that there is a long way to go!
 


Give Arsenal the title now…

Long way to go, lots of blips along the way.

City will be in the mix right until the end. One bad result here and there don’t mean much.

Regroup for the mighty gunners next week.

Get fucked you goony ****. It was no bother in the 90s when United won numerous titles.

We’ve always had a kick up the arse in the early part of the season, in recent seasons that was Palace at home, this season seemingly Wolves away.

We’ll see come May. That’s when titles and medals are handed out - not in September, or whatever else month it was you celebrated last season.

Sorry lad but you're not seeing what's being pointed out.
It might have been no bother in the 90s - this is 30 years later. It damages the PL having one team dominating these days, it needs "sharing" out.
The decision to not award that second yellow speaks volumes. We're truly up against it this season!!!!

No change then!

We are up against all comers every time we take to the field. The attacks have not stopped since the takeover. Bunch of fucking corrupt Wankstains. City won’t go away and will be challenging right until the end again despite blind refs and bogus charges.

Can the arse wankers come back and preach once you have dropped more points next week? Nah didn’t think so. Yappy, entitled boring bastards.

By the way, don’t take this the wrong way but from a commercial point of view, City turning the EPL into a Bayern dominated Bundesliga is unhelpful, as the EPL could become less interesting and for all the loss of revenue that might entail. PGMOL is basically the ultra arm of the EPL. It doesn’t matter how good you are, you’re not winning it this season. You heard it here first. Bookmark this because future events will prove me right. Have you ever wondered why VAR was invented? Think about it.

Sorry pal, I don’t agree with this, there has never been as much money in the English top division as there is now. The story of City’s climb, the Aguero moment and all that followed has not impeded the game’s growth, in fact I would say it has enhanced it. The comparison with Bayern is wrong as well, they have a financial dominance that means they can swap their manager for a rubbish one and still guarantee the league by a large gap. At this present time Chelsea and United are matching (and I would suggest surpassing) our spending and look at the state of them. The story at city is the story of Pep, the story of a footballing genius who is on another level to his contemporaries and is one step ahead tactically. When Pep goes, this golden period in our history stops in much the same way as when Busby and Fergie left United, Dalglish left the dippers and Herbert Chapman left you guys.

One team dominating the league title for a very long stretch of time has been going on in England since the early 1970s:
1972-73 Liverpool
1973-74 Leeds
1974-75 Derby
1975-76 Liverpool
1976-77 Liverpool
1977-78 Forest
1978-79 Liverpool
1979-80 Liverpool
1980-81 Villa
1981-82 Liverpool
1982-83 Liverpool
1983-84 Liverpool
1984-85 Everton
1985-86 Liverpool
1986–87 Everton
1987-88 Liverpool
1988-89 Arsenal
1989-90 Liverpool
1990-91 Arsenal
1991–92 Leeds
1992-93 United
1993-94 United
1994-95 Blackburn
1995-96 United
1996-97 United
1997-98 Arsenal
1998-99 United
1999-00 United
2000-01 United
2001-02 Arsenal
2002-03 United
2003-04 Arsenal
2004-05 Chelsea
2005-06 Chelsea
2006-07 United
2007-08 United
2008-09 United
2009-10 Chelsea
2010-11 United
2011-12 City
2012-13 United
2013-14 City
2014-15 Chelsea
2015-16 Leicester
2016-17 Chelsea
2017-18 City
2018-19 City
2019-20 Liverpool
2020-21 City
2021-22 City
2022-23 City

Liverpool’s span of 18 years, United’s of 21… City have got between another 6-9 years to catch up to the dominance of those two had over the league.

Nobody said a dicky bird negatively about either of those two clubs dominating the league title. Interest in our game grew and grew off the back of Liverpool and United being dominant… but now it’s City, it’s a ‘problem’?

If what you’re saying is true (it might well be), how come it wasn’t true of Liverpool and United?

This sort of attitude is irritating me. There’s no such thing as over-celebrating. Good on them, I say. There should be more of it.

Since when did we become the celebration Police?

We’ve done a lap of honour after beating Newcastle and Forest this season, and we’ve had our own fans coming on here and saying it was embarrassing. It’s like celebrating wins is all of a sudden beneath us as a club and we look down on it just because we’ve won a few pots and pans.

Is it because it’s showing up our early leavers for not staying to celebrate with the team?

Because the money was still rolling in by the bucket load. Not the case with City - primarily a Club with a support base which is local to Manchester - dominating.
