The Title Race - 2023/24

[stadiumcat]

Just watching the snow job on MOTD - first dipper goal handball, second clear foul in the build up, two nailed on penalties not given. Poch's comments edited out - all set fair for the redshirt cruise to the title.

Spot on, when in doubt help the Scousers out, is the message coming from above. Hopefully, we can upset the cart.

After that there was a 16 game unbeaten run in the league with 14 wins and 2 draws.

Which was by no means a fluke.

This side is certainly capable of similar.

The only thing against us this season is us.
Liverpool will push us all the way & if we don’t stop giving away silly goals it might just give Liverpool the trophy.

Our concentration level is way off it for 90mins sadly. Been this way all season & im not sure we can sort it now.

Just hope the Viking starts smashing the goals in again

Just like Liverpool will be regretting losing the VAR fiasco at Spurs plus dropping points at Luton, Brighton and at home to the rags.
Every team drops points they shouldn't. It's classic football fan psyche to only remember your own team's bad results.

2 up at home to Palace who hadn’t crossed the halfway til last 15 mins and then to concede a pen is pretty unforgivable.

We did win 4-1 there in Feb '21 but I suppose the empty covid stadium had an effect in that

....I hope he's not our 'Rodney Marsh' from 1972 !!

Think you’ve banged your head.
This little mission you’re on to try and convince us that Haaland is going to be a negative is a bit weird.

I see the Liverpool v Luton game (originally scheduled for the weekend of the Carabao Cup final) has been brought forward to Wednesday 21st February, the night after our rearranged game against Brentford.
If nothing else, that should mean our visit at Anfield in March should happen with both teams having played the same number of games.

Wait a minute, brought forward!

When the fuck does that ever happen, certainly not with us.

Everyone else ends up with games to slot in at the end of the season.

They are treated differently to everyone else in every aspect of the game.

What the fuck is it with those horrible cunts!

What the fuck are you on about ?

Haalands reintegration needs to be carefully managed so as to minimise any potential disruption.

We be playing a different and successful style during his absence with goals coming from all over the team.

We were going well in 1972 and playing great football Marsh's introduction and disruption ( he was overweight and unfit)cost us a deserved title.....and I watched it happen.

Wind your neck in !!

We could do with Arsenal winning tomorrow. Stop this Liverpool train for a week. Tell everyone that they are beatable. Put some doubt in their own minds.

Not overly bothered about Arsenal going 3 points ahead of us. This is the toughest away game they’ll have in the run in, so important they drop points.

Yeah just seen this. Never happens to us this. Didn’t we once go to Liverpool away the Wednesday after a League Cup Final? Can’t remember now.

Mustn't be many other slots for it. Once the Thursday Cup starts again, they’ll be playing all the time. We need them in that cup right until the Final.

 

[vmsuhail]

If Arsenal lose tomorrow and go 8 behind, then I consider them out of the title race. It is a "must not" lose game for Arsenal.

It has happened with us. 2018-19 - our home PL game against Cardiff was brought forward from its originally scheduled date on FA Cup sixth round weekend. There was a chance we wouldn’t have a date for it otherwise though going out of the CL to Spurs meant that wouldn’t have ultimately been the case.

 

[Mad_fer_it]

I fucking hope we become the pantomime villans this year. The media and officials clearly routing for Jurgen and queing up to suck him off, it's fucking embarrassing.

Come on city, let's spoil the party and ruin the fairy tale ending they so desperately want. Fight the power!

And our PL match with Everton was brought forward the same season when we reached the League Cup final.

 

[Damanino]

we need Arteta's help tomorrow they beat us as well in Emirates, they should not lie down to scousers.

If they want to consider themselves to be in the title race, they can't afford to lose.

Correct.
Despite what some might think, the dippers aren’t getting preferential treatment. We’ve been in the same situation when in contention for four trophies and found the same solutions as they’re getting now.
Even though it would be amusing, I wouldn’t want to win the title following them dropping points after having to play what they could claim to be an unfair schedule of games.

 

[Gorbachev]

If Liverpool win tomorrow it's going to be like 18/19 again where only us can beat them, and if we don't they will go invincible.

Considering our record at Anfield, this is their toughest fixture left you could argue.

Arsenal need to win for me.
