The Title Race - 2023/24

[mcfcphil]

They are this season, I agree. But the margins are so fine this year that the best team might not actually win. The saying “the best team always wins the league” is said so often that it’s treated as undeniable fact, but I don’t think 38 games is some incredibly vast sample size whereby the best team will always win, forever. Not when the margins are as slight as this season. We can obviously do it from here (it won’t be easy), but I’d still consider Arsenal to have been the best team this season, barring something bizarre in their last 4 matches.

On what basis are they the best team?

Chelsea have gone full pub league

Dross describes Chelsea without Palmer

Mid table fodder with him. Just a poor team but he's a shining light for the fans.

I'm guessing he means the best to watch?

No its not.
You said we are the only team you'd back to win their last 6 games.
All I'm pointing out is that arsenal have won 2 out of the 6 and are playing well again

It's not teams like Chelsea they will struggle against. Its the teams who put 10 behind the ball and frustrate/play on the counter they could find fault with.

I think their structure is the most balanced/complete between attack and defence. Their attack is performing at least as good as ours (if not marginally better) and their defensive structure is much better than ours imo. Overall, I think that makes them the best team. But let’s hope we can win our last 6.

Arsenal are playing with the pressure off now after villa. If we were to slip up I wouldn’t put it past them to shit the bed again tbh. Still I expect spurs to get at least a draw on Sunday

Ffs. Think about it before you say things.

Tonight just makes me more frustrated at dropping 4 points to this awful Chelsea side.

Nowt’s changed.
Still in the champions hands.
