The Title Race - 2023/24

[alexmcity]

The Palace game was everything you ever heard about being careless. However, let's be positive and concentrate on the job at hand. We just need two points more than Arsenal and Liverpool from the last 7 games. Simply put we must keep winning to see if we can win. I am confident for the first time this season that we can do it. So hopefully those two points dropped back in December won't define our 23/24 league campaign.

The nature of football is such that shit happens. It's always possible that you concede two goals in 5 minutes because absolute control in football is impossible. Arsenal lost vs W Ham at home despite having over 30 attempts at goal and being the far better team. Again, shit happens.

No matter what happens from here on, you've got to love a title race. It completely consumes you. Football is brilliant!

We are currently the bookies' favourites to retain each of the 3 trophies we won last year. That is absolute madness. This is the greatest English football team in history.

Last season from about this point I became convinced that we would win the treble.

This season I'm convinced we won't, but that we will win two. I'll take that thank you very much. It won't represent a bad "Transition" season.

I did stop to think whether you meant that, but you posted it after the Liverpool draw, Arsenal drew their previous game, and even then 10 wouldn't be possible.

But semantics, I get your point. While I wouldn't claim it impossible or unlikely that they win their remaining 7, I don't really think it will happen either.

Liverpool genuinely don’t worry me at this point after the United draw, I don’t expect they’ll even win 6 of their remaining games.

There simply is no objective debate about this. The statistics speak for themselves.

And completely share your perspective in first paragraph. I love this part of the season. It makes me feel so alive.

We are 6/4 to win the Premier League.

We are 4/6 to win the FA Cup.

We are 15/8 to win the Champions League.

We are 21/2 to win the Treble.

We are 7/2 to win the Champions League and FA Cup only.

We are 7/2 to win the Premier League and FA Cup only.

We are 13/2 to win the Premier League and Champions League only.

If we win one of the big two trophies, regardless of anything else, then the Guardiola era is unarguably the greatest era that English football has ever seen. Nobody has ever won four league titles in a row. Nobody has ever retained the modern day Champions League. What a time to be a Blue!

Liverpool's performance yesterday was reminiscent of our game at Turf Moor in 17/18.
Totally dominant, but lacking clinical precision, and regardless of Keane's criticism, that's the exact reason why we bought Haaland

That will have drained Liverpool's confidence and hopefully Arsenal will soon find themselves equally frustrated

 

[rossmoss]

I am kind of hoping that Arsenal beats Bayern. When you look at the fixtures, semi finals between us would favour us over Arsenal.

Yes, maybe Liverpool would be the overall winners of that, but I am more concerned about arsenal not dropping points than liverpool.

It really is, and everything we dreamt of is now a reality.
