The Title Race - 2023/24

Hoping for an arsenal win today

We are doing better than last season after 21 games: 46 pts vs 45 pts.

And we have been without Kevin for 5-6 months, Stones 4-5 months, Haaland 2 months, Rodri missed 3 games through suspension, which we lost...The rumour that our summer transfers were bad is greatly exaggerated.

We are now on 4 consecutive wins in the league and 8 in all competitions. By the time we play at Anfield, we could be on 9-10 consecutive wins in the league (won't be easy, though!).

Think it will go to the wire.

If Arsenal beat Liverpool, they will challenge, too.

Arsenal won't challenge for anything.
Don't have it in them
Will collapse again.
And there little band of 100 soft twats dressed in black will be able to cry till august

Context pal. It is irrelevant, and pointless, to the context of this discussion (it's how life works).

The context is the title race, not the race to be top after the game at Anfield.

To you maybe. Not to what I said though.

Pointless arguing my point on the now with a multitude of possible outcomes in May.

Don't have it in the..
Will collapse again

If they lose by a big margin , they could end up behind Villa

Still think the dippers win it unfortunately

Knowing the global coverage (and money) that it will generate, the whole of the premier league machine will be 100% behind a "Klopp romantic fairytale" outcome this season, backed by a relentless leeching media narrative in support of same.

The only question is whether we will have enough to combat that.

The title is in our hands. That all you can ask for at this point in the season. There will be blowouts and surprise results.

At this point, even a draw is a bad result!

However, Liverpool are clearly the favorites.
They are ahead.
They have only lost 1 game this season.
They have superior goal difference.
They play their big challengers at home.
Klopp has announced he’s leaving, so they have an even bigger PGMOL advantage.

Everyone can talk up City until they are blue in the face, but the fact remains that Liverpool have all the advantages this year and even though the pundits say it’s City’s to lose because we often go on a run at this time of the year, past performance is never a predictor of future results.

We still have it all to do, including still having to win the two games in hand! Even with the games in hand, we might be 8 points behind by dinner time tonight, with a banana skin match away on Monday night!

There’s nothing to say we can’t win it all, but the stats don’t lie…we are behind, 4 in a row has never been done, we have plenty of big games and plenty of 10 man defences to break down between here and there.

Onwards…

4 in a throw has never been done because there's never been a team as good as city if it was a level playing field we would walk it.
It is it though its bent from top to bottom.
Whole thing stinks

Too early to make any predictions IMO of note , bookies have us as favourites and again so what one might say.

If anybody can spoil the Liverpool orlay its City and currently we are well placed to do it.

Injuries will play a key roll they usually do especially to key players a number of twists and turns with surprise results to come no doubt impacting the top echelon.

A draw would do just as nice

A win at Klanfield wouldn't go amiss either…..

Looking forward to Ham Salads return from AFCON/injury. For me, they're a better team without him.

The return of their talisman might just be the thing that ruins 'em. All it needs is a couple of draws whilst he beds back in, and we're away into the distance.

Scouse cunts.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Arsenal win please. Very few, currently capable of taking maximum points from Liverpool in this league.

Arsenal are more liable to drop points against weaker opposition.

Especially so, as we also still play Arsenal at our place and that will factor more dropped points for them.

A draw will do. It's usually the accumulation of too many draws which kills their title charge.

Dropped points in any form is always welcome, but Arsenal will drop more than Liverpool, between now and the end of the season.

For that reason, an Arsenal win would be absolutely fantastic for us.

And then a win tomorrow for us would have that gap at two points, with a game in hand to play on both of them.

 

[waspish]

We went to Arsenal we didn't play that well and it was like we were happy to get a draw we lost!

Liverpool will wipe the floor with them 1-4

 

[Coatigan]

I'd settle for that

Phew. You had me on the ropes there mate.

 

[richards30]

Why? What evidence points to them having a better second half to a season than us?

Just think they have more impetus than us attacking wise this season and creating a huge amount of chances? Not saying I want them to win it but just see them outscoring everyone along the way.
