The Title Race - 2023/24

It’s going to take a lot for the players to shut out the external noise and result in the north London derby.

If Arsenal win then we will all feel a bit dejected even if we go and win our game.

I always think points on the board are a factor. If Arsenal win today I think the will win the title. Hopefully not but having an extra game to play is a disadvantage at this point.

Yid Army, ale ale
Postcoglou is the best ale ale

to be serious, no way Son, Richarlison, Maddison etc all being completely fresh, have not played a game in 2 weeks time, no way they dont create some great chances today.

also their last game was got a hiding, Castle-Spurs 4-0, they had time to chew on that and plan a reaction. to go and lie down vs the hated rivals at home giving them a chance to win the title while taking away most of their own chances for a CL slot.
that would be criminal.

Postecoglou knows even if he fails to deliver CL but manages to win today fans will love him for that.

they also got a draw at Emirates back start of the season.

Today could be a huge swing. If Arsenal drop points and we win, we can afford to lose at Spurs and still win the title if we win our other games. If Arsenal win today it's hard to see them dropping points to Bournemouth, united or Everton.

Spurs score first and we'll see if they've grown a spine.

Huge day today, Arsenals hardest game left so even if we both win today their odds will shorten a little on winning the league.

Could really do with Spurs getting something out of it just for the breathing space.

Spurs could do with getting something out of the game. They have a real chance of 4th place with games in hand over Villa but they need all the points they can get to do it.

Unfortunately I think Arsenal will beat Spurs, we need to win all our games.

Arsenal will not drop anymore points. It’s just beyond comprehension.

dont forget even if they draw is a bloody good result for us

Yes, as it stands. We need to win every game because of GD. If they win, it looks unlikely we'll overturn the GD deficit.

A draw means Arsenal's max is 87pts, so we need 12/15 (again unless we reverse the GD in which case 3 wins 2 draws might be enough), so we can afford to lose a game at that point.

A loss is even better, makes their max 86pts, puts their GD in reach with one big win on our part, meaning we would potentially only need 10 pts. 3 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss.

Either way, I've got £40 on Arsenal to soften the blow :)

Spurs are on course to concede 62 goals this year, which if they finished either 4th or 5th, it would make them the worst side defensively in Premier League history to finish in the top 4/5.

You have to go back to Norwich in the inaugural Premier League season when then they conceded 65 goals to better it, yet then it was 42 games a season.

It's not common to see a top 4/5 side concede more than 45/50 a season. It's only happened a few times.

Arsenal will destroy them today. It could be 4 or 5.
