The Title Race - 2023/24

Or to put it another way...on the only occasion that we needed to win the last 6...we did

Did we not need to win all 6 when we drew against WH in the penultimate game, only for Liverpool to draw with Spurs? Could be wrong

Edit, been corrected on the order of the two draws.

Exactly.

Liverpool drew with Spurs a couple of games before we played West Ham, and by nature of us drawing that game we didn't need to win all 6!

Their crowd would be genuinely wanting us to win if that's where we were at.

I remember people saying similar about us in 1995 v Blackburn. I can’t remember many City fans wanting us to lose that game.

Confused the order, cheers.

Interesting that GD is now back in play (result dependent).

I still don't think writing off Liverpool - as has been the case in many news stories and on here - is particularly wise, given there are 4 games to go, but i understand that having 2 title rivals does change the picture somewhat.

i'm never convinced by anything until maths says so, especially given some of our title wins in the last decade or so!!

Has any team failed to win the league despite having a better goal difference to the winner?

Surely they must have. Surely

Both us and Arsenal would have to drop points in 2 games each and Liverpool win their 4. No chance

No,we are the only team to have won this way.
Remember that it was goal average up to the late 70'

Spurs had a better GD than Leicester
