The Title Race - 2023/24

[Newman123]

Ill get some hate but I genuinely think we've been the best team this season (Fewest conceded, best gd).

What gamble?

Playing for a point at City, completely changing how they normally play.

 

[iceman]

It's a bit frustrating in the end, the rags were defending very well after getting ahead but that idiot Wan Bissaka fucked it up with a ludicrous challenge, I don't think the dippers were going to find an equaliser otherwise, if they lost it meant it would be going to GD and I think we would've had an advantage due to our easier schedule on paper, now they need to drop points again and we still need to be perfect but at least they are not in the lead anymore.

They will

 

[wolviedinho]

Let the games begin.

A Haaland goal scoring run would come in handy now

Dips blew the lead.

Arse seem to be winning with ease. That would need to change soon.

Balotelli…

 

[lefty goldblatt]

We're 7/4 favs with the bookies

Hopefully, they're not wrong

 

[Toney’s bookie]

3 points off top last sunday night. A week later and we're only 1 point off top so can't complain at gaining ground this weekend.

 

[youngbob]

Just can't call that Spurs game.

 

[117 M34]

Spurs away is sticking out as a nightmare fixture for me. Hopefully the monkey off our back with the cup win and we put them to the sword.

Depending on how the rest of the season goes for both teams, could have loads of their fans wanting us to win.
Similar to Everton away in 2014

 

[middlewichblue]

I still have us winning the league by 4 or 5 points.

Playing for a point at City, completely changing how they normally play.

Don't see how today's result has any bearing on the merits of that decision. If they win the league in goal difference, yeah. But there's a long way to go yet. If we win it by a point, it was a mistake.

38 games.

 

[marco]

id have snatched your hand off for that pre match disapointing the rags couldnt hang on,favourites at the bookies again, its on

 

[Eric Hitchmough]

I thought the Dippers would win all their remaining games. Delighted to be proved wrong - just surprised it happened against an absolutely wank Rags side!!

Yes, but only marginally. The lack of experience in close run-ins can be a disadvantage, both City and Liverpool have that.

We are the best team but drawing in games we bossed bit like scouse today has meant we aren’t ahead by 4/5 points.

 

[city warrior]

We will be champions if we win every match. As simple as that. Liverpool has Everton away, Villa away, even West Ham away is a tough match. Arsenal fixtures are horrible, Chelsea, United away, Tottenham away, Villa after Bayern, Wolves away after Bayern. I would be shocked if Arsenal don't drop points in at least 2 of them (especially if they advance against Bayern).

We only have Brighton away after FA Cup SF and Tottenham away. Every other match should be straightforward for us.

I’ll get some hate but I genuinely think we've been the best team this season (Fewest conceded, best gd).

With respect, most Arsenal fans said the same last season. Until you weren’t.

 

[MCFC1993]

Pretty much gone as expected so far. No team has surprised. Last night's result was probably the first decent result from one of the 3 teams.

Liverpool (67)​	Arsenal (68)​	City (67)​
Sheff United (H)​	​	​
United (A)​	Brighton (A)​	Palace (A)​
Palace (H)​	Villa (H)​	Luton (H)​
Fulham (A)​	Wolves (A)​	Spurs (A) TBD​
Everton (A)​	Chelsea (H)​	Brighton (A)​
West Ham (A)​	Spurs (A)​	Forest (A)​
Spurs (H)​	Bournemouth (H)​	Wolves (H)​
Villa (A)​	United (A)​	Fulham (A)​
Wolves (H)​	Everton (H)​	West Ham (H)​

Corresponding teams this season:
Liverpool - 22 points from 27.
Arsenal - 15 points from 24.
City - 17 points from 24.

Basically no team is winning out but whoever does has a chance.
Liverpool favourites then us in my opinion, Arsenal's games are tough.

89 points wins it.

Liverpool - 63 points​	City - 62 points​	Arsenal - 58 points​
​	​	Sheff Utd (A)​
City (H)​	Liverpool (A)​	Brentford (H)​
Everton (A) - Date TBD​	Brighton (A) - Date TBD​	Chelsea (H) - Date TBD​
Brighton (H)​	Arsenal (H)​	City (A)​
Sheff Utd (H)​	Villa (H)​	Luton (H)​
United (A)​	Palace (A)​	Brighton (A)​
Palace (H)​	Luton (H)​	Villa (H)​
Fulham (A)​	Spurs (A)​	Wolves (A)​
West Ham (A)​	Forest (A)​	Spurs (A)​
Spurs (H)​	Wolves (H)​	Bournemouth (H)​
Villa (A)​	Fulham (A)​	United (A)​
Wolves (H)​	West Ham (H)​	Everton (H)​

That's how I see it, we have the slightly harder fixtures but easier finish to the season. Arsenal and Liverpool want to be ahead by the end of April.

Liverpool have the easiest games left. If they continue to get the decisions on top of that, they should walk it.

There's the first dropped points, won't be the last, 89 will be enough, 91 is the max we can get.

I think the fact we just have to be perfect now is helping us. Our fixtures are better than the other 2.

 

[HelloCity]

If we beat Spurs away then I think we’ll win it…
