The Title Race - 2023/24

[Cobwebcat]

We don't really need them to anything, as it stands.

True. I hope it stays that way!

We could actually get away with a draw - providing we put 3/4 past Fulham , a draw against Spurs , and absolutely smash manager less West Ham at home last game of the season by 5 or 6 , wishful thinking I know!

If we draw at spurs it’s highly likely that will happen. The problem is United SGE so shit they’ll probably open the goal gap ever further.

 

[Ghostofmerlin]

Yes. We need exactly 91 points to be champions again.

It won’t make any difference. Their defence isn’t good enough to do either. I’d be surprised if Arsenal don’t win by at least 2 goals. The gulf in quality is huge. Rags should really be bottom 6 this season based on overall performances.

If the correct decisions had been applied in at least 5/6 games they would be and they'd not be in the FACup final.

Protected by the system !!

 

[MadchesterCity]

To be fair they are a mid table team, they can sometimes play up against top teams but then again I doubt it, best just to mark it as an Arsenal win

Agree that’s what I’ve done, zero expectations

 

[MadchesterCity]

They got them at a knock down price though.

Also they’re on low wages right

 

[MadchesterCity]

It seems they can no longer attract players in their prime. Just the ones looking for a last big pay day

A pre Saudi pay day

 

[mike1923]

I did have some faith but if they are still playing Casemiro as a centre back, I will quickly lose it.

If they get anyone back fit in the next 2 weeks they’ll probably keep them wrapped in cotton wool for the cup final

 

[Andy TheCatalyst Morrison]

Agree concentrate on our own game. If we win and put all thenpressure on Arsenal. Probably the first time this season they will feel it. If It gets ton70 mins and they're not ahead we will see of they can handle it.

They’re playing the rags, did you mean 7 minutes?!

United have been lucky a lot this season, Many times teams have battered them but for some reason they can't get a shot on target, Palace exposed just how piss poor they truly are, But united have had the habit of getting away with it by being lucky and just humping long balls to Rashford and garnacho and getting clean through.

They will either get absolutely dicked against arsenal or somehow rob a win and the ten hag love in will resurface and give them hope for the final

A draw would also be rather handy.

Come on you out of town imposters rah rah rah.

The positive thing is that they have to play better at home, in this level of game. So they should put up more of a performance. The negative is, they're still fucking shite. But they beat the dippers in the cup and drew at home against them, it could just be one of those days. I can't see it though!

I see the whole life is breeze for you!

It is wishful thinking but if we do go into the final game on level points, if we are within even 5 goals of Arsenal on GD it might put a bit of pressure on them. Especially if we race into an early two goal lead

We'd need to be within 1 or 2 to really put pressure on them. That way go 1-0 up whilst they're still 0-0 and things start to ramp up. It also adds a bit of jeopardy in terms of going for goals over just winning the game.

Personally I just can't see it coming down to that, but I've been wrong before. I think if it's down to goal difference we'll remain on the wrong side of it.

We should just win our games instead!

COVID year aside, because of no fans in the stadium, Arsenal last won a game against United at the swamp (checks notes)...in 2015? There is a good chance the Rags will get at least a draw out of the game. They will want to redeem themselves after the Palace trashing. Too many on here assume they will easily win 3 games. Not happening, IMO. They are not us ;).

Yeah I see Arsenal nailing them, like really badly. They're all wrong for the makeshift United defence. They're not going to cope with Saka and Martinelli running at them.

This title race has been fascinating and it's not over yet. And it's not a done deal that MCFC will be champions. Will go to the last day. In fact, every single title race that we've been involved in (including ‘68, can't speak for ‘37, wasn't born, calling @Gary James) has been like that, with the single exception of 2017-18.
It is just pure bad faith. Not just from Trafford Park supporters, but also from that feral crowd from just south of Stanley Park in Liverpool. They never found it boring when they won it time after time for two full decades, with occasional one-season breaks off. Did they hell find it boring.
You want to talk boring? Celtic and Rangers, who have shared the Scottish title between them since virtually forever; Bayern Munich amassing 11 — that's eleven! — titles on the trot; Real Madrid and Barcelona (read as for Scottish league); Juventus winning 9 — that's nine! — titles on the trot. PSG who will carry on winning the French league for the foreseeable future.
And we may win four on the trot?
Just sheer bad faith.

I wasn’t born in 37 either but I know what you mean. 1937 went to last home game but one away game left after that.
