The Title Race - 2023/24

[Man_City_Loyal]

Closer than we were at the start of the weekend and not in the scouse cunts hands (goal difference to big), that'll do.

Arsenal have to go to Spurs and play Chelsea.

Liverpool have to go to Everton and Villa and play Spurs at home.

We have a chance, 7 wins will guarantee it in my opinion.

we have Spurs away which is the only worry

For those over 50

This reminds me of those 1500M races

150M to go, Sidney Maree is out in front, John Walker in second and Steve Overt is approaching the bend in 3rd.

Ovett goes, and 30M to go he waves to the crowd and wins....


As a family, we hated Coe

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

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

You have, but contests like this are won in the head. This is where it counts.

 

[youngbob]

I think City have the kindest run. Liverpool having to go to Everton and Villa, Arsenal having to go to Old Trafford and Spurs.... We've got to go to Spurs but everything else should be a win for us.

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

This race is nuts.
How can I put it? I want to win it, very much, but I don't need to win it, with the suffocating need of previous titles (especially 2012, and 2019). As such, ok… I'll say it — I'm enjoying it.

 

[Father Paul]

Still need both to drop points and we have to be perfect.

Still, one point off top with seven to go is not a bad place to be. Think it'll be a tough ask though

We should win most of the games except maybe Spuds. Liverpool and Arsenal will probably lose or draw at least one more. If we get a fair wind we can shade it. I said earlier the rags would score a couple but probably leak goals at the wrong end. That result is the best we could of hoped for really.

 

[chesterbells]

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

Hmmm, you’d like to think that, but with Spurs supporters, I’ll believe it when I see it …

 

[vmsuhail]

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.

They took 4 points off City. If City win it, it will be because Arsenal are unable to hold on to their lead at the top again.

Could come late in the season after all of their dropped points though. Spurs is the only tough one.

Arsenal's fixtures are horrendous and Liverpools aways aren't great.

 

[bluke]

To me it's a perfect scenario - both the dippers and tarquins in front of us level on points. The pressure is on them.

 

[marco]

Just can't call that Spurs game.

if we have to go there and win we will do

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

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

Liverpool’s team have as much experience of winning a close title run in as Arsenal’s

 

[SWP's back]

Today took GD out of the equation (for it to count now those two would have to both lose a game and us draw - can’t see it) so for me, if we win our remaining games then it’s ours and neither of them have the bottle to win 8-10 in a row at this stage of the season.

 

[Chak19]

Looking at that penalty incident again, Wank Bis doesn't actually catch Elliott with his challenge but the dipper falls down on his leg, still a stupid challenge but looks like the dippers cheated again.

We loved Coe in ours.

Im just happy to be in it and currently at the top. As long as Liverpool dont win it.

We’ve got that monkey off our back

 

[jrb]

It’s always better to come from behind.

No problem with admitting that, personally. At this point. And if you win it, I'll have no problem in congratulating you.

Seven games to go…
