Arsenal look the strongest so we need them to go deep into a game (like we did at Swansea in 11/12) where the nerves are unbearable and they literally don't know whether to stick or twist.
If they drop points once I can see that tension spreading to the next match
Liverpool are slightly different as they look more vulnerable but equally capable of winning all their remaining games.

Tottenham will take points off somebody, but obviously that somebody can't be us.

Huge win for Arsenal not many go away to Brighton and win 3:0 huge marker that is.

Yeah I agree..

I think we had a chance to get out of Liverpool with a win until Ederson's brainfart gave them the penalty and also injured himself.

Now the team has been on a roll with Stefan Ortega and he should be in goal for the entire run in. In a season where we keep making mistakes defensively leading to easy goals, we need our best shot stopper in net. That will at least give us a chance.

I still think those 3 home draws in December where we lost leads could define the season. :(

Ake was at fault for that, Ederson was doing what he had to do.

A penalty is better than a goal, unfortunately they scored it.

Both of our opponents will drop points. It’s all about whether we can see our fixtures out. I think we can still afford to drop 3 or 4 points

There is no chance both of those teams are dropping 6-9 points in their last 8 games. None. One might hit the skids but not both. We can't drop any points.
 
We need to be in touching distance of Love A Poo as of 5th May. If we are, I think we will have a good chance of winning the league. Love A Poo's last few games could be difficult for them. The Arse will stutter at some point in their next 4 games and they will find it hard to regain lost ground. Come on City. We can do it!

I think it is just a freak season to be honest. Liverpool have the story of Jurgen Flopp leaving, we have the 4 continuous Premier league story and Arsenal have the reinvented team through Arteta thing going on and seem to have built upon the failures from last season. But I am sure there will be another drama/bizarre game week yet as there is no way all 3 are winning every game until the end of the season. I am struggling to recall an intense 3 way title race.

As I remember it — and I'm a bit hazy, because it is a long time ago — '68 was very open till close to the end, with about three teams plausibly in it. Was it maybe even four?

Yep, dippers were only a point behind the rags and Leeds weren't far behind in 4th place. With about 3 games to go, any one of 4 could have won it.

2013/14 was an equally close 3 team race at this stage of the season between us, dippers and chelski if I recall correctly. Chelsea had a shock defeat at home to Sunderland with 3 games to go and then beat the dippers away to let us in
 
didnt realise the arse have to play the rags, historic results say thay can beat them but thats about it, 21 points to go at between 3 very good sides and only one winner, dosnt matter how good any of the 3 sides are because even the best of the best will get turned over at some point, just like city in previous title winning seasons, so wouldnt raise an eybrow if villa beat arsenal or draw next week the same with united v liverpool tomorrow, we must win our remaining games and if we do we will most likely be champions again, remember there is 21 points to win and 21 points to drop, there will be a few twists and turns for all 3 sides in the next few weeks
