The Title Race - 2024/25

Some Tarquin on 606,

"We lost the league with the draw at City"

Jesus, arrogant or what.

The very definition of entitled! As Bernardo told them, they're trying not to lose the title, rather than going all out trying to win it.

True that mate but we have something they don't, Pep.

Indeed.

Wouldn't suprise if we get an Akanji like signing cheap signing in January that's gets us over the line. Along with a fit Kev and Oscar Bobb appearing when we need them to push us through.

And plenty of members of the squad who've huge experience of what it takes to win titles year after year

It's way to early to be thinking teams are out of the running, I will wait until new year before looking at the table seriously and thinking can we win it.

Top of the league at this stage with various serious injuries to key players in key positions. Played pretty average on a few occasions and it’s not always been great to watch.

How fucking good is it to be blue! :-)

Agreed. BUT it doesn't make for a good spectacle in the meantime...

O don't get me wrong I love it when the others drop points especially Liverpool fuckin hate scoucers

We dont look at our best. But then neither do the Arse. The dippers have had a decent start but I think the titles beyond them.

Smacks of Pep “managing” the first half of the season. Just do enough to be in the mix come January then take advantage of only giving 95% up to that point and go on one of our legendary runs on the run in!!

Lets hope it works out like that. Bit worried we are a body or two light in the first team squad, maybe a January acquisition will happen…

I agree with you 100%.
I'll counter though by saying what I've said elsewhere - and add to it.
We're still not anywhere near our best.
We've potentially had our worst injury record under Pep - certainly the last couple of weeks
Normally at this stage we've lost a game you wouldn't expect us to.
Unintentionally the upcoming 3rd International break actually works heavily in our favour - hopefully we can be down to just 2 out after it, Bobb and unfortunately Rodders.
I'm upbeat but not taking anything for granted 9 games in!
