The Title Race - 2023/24

[DMA's]

It’s an incredibly boring day of football sadly. Liverpool will batter a very poor palace side and villa are very easy to score against away form home. Expecting two very routine wins

What an absolute twat

I thought Arsenal had bottled it with their cowardly display at the Etihad. Momentum is everything. Bloody fantastic.

I reckon the Bayern game has fucked them

+6 on our goal difference to Arsenal. That Luton goal is still annoying.

Nice big shift in the Goal Difference this weekend!!

Wait- the Arsenal fans have disappeared, like they did at the ground. Emptied quicker than the rags!

When Arsenal eventually win this late on and everyone is disappointed- just remember that it was Liverpool grabbing late results a month ago, it’s not a sustainable way to challenge for the title.

This aged well.

Obviously, that makes us big favourites now, 2 points clear with 6 to go. I think we have the slightly easier upcoming games over the next couple weeks (Brighton and forrest away and wolves home) Arsenal play Wolves and spurs away and Chelsea at home. Liverpool also have 3 awkward away games (west ham, Everton and Fulham).

Think their European fixtures fucked them both a bit.

Yesterday showed our squad is clicking at the right time. If we rest de bruyne, foden can pick up the slack and vice versa.

Even more encouraging though,Is kovacic is actually looking like he could afford rodri a rest or at least shoulder some burden.

Both arsenal and Liverpool don't have that level of depth where their best players can come in and out to accommodate their European commitments.

Got my issues with the Villa fanbase, but what a fantastic team to watch. Fully deserved the 3 points today. So well done Villa and thank you. Watkins is superb and the way they play out from the back is really classy.

Couldn't believe everybody picking Liverpool and Arsenal. Most pundits too. Even had to convince some City fans we're still well in it. We were only one point behind ffs. Our experience at the business end of the season is worth more than one fucking point. I wouldn't want us chasing us down if I supported anybody else! Still work to do of course, but lets go for the jugular now and make it FOUR in a row!

What a Sunday, anybody bet on a Palace/Villa double?

17/20 for the title. 9/2 Arsenal and 9/1 Liverpool

What an absolute twat

I did try and get your glass half full early doors this morning.
Blue sky in the morning, scousers and gooners crying. I predicted it :-)

Carlsberg don't do perfect title-chasing weekends, but if they did ...

 

[BerkshireBlue]

Spurs fans will want us to beat them at theirs last game of the season. Could be a new love in with spuds lol

Yep but United will also be happy to lose to the bottlers as well

 

[No1 was Colin bell]

Ooo hang on a minute. Palace were 14/1 to win and Villa 10/1. A rather good weekend. Keep it going blue boys. Back in our hands in the blink of an eye and even the GD looking less of an issue 11 difference becomes 5. “Woah coming after you “

I wasn't expecting Villa to win today but it was disrespectful that the pundits were saying they will have their focus on their European game and completely disregarded the fact these are playing for fourth place. They'll want that 4th spot just as much as qualifying through the next round in Europe
