The Title Race - 2024/25

[Tolmie scores]

5th be ok this season for champs league anyway might do us good playing in conference uefa cup

5th without a CM very optimistic - this is where games are won - we are disorganised and weak mentally without Rodri and Dias

 

[Withnail]

With our porous defence and wastefulness in front of goal, plus no Rodri and a unfit Kdb we unfortunately are not winning it this season.

The Carabao won't do it. FA Cup is marginal. I think if we finished 2nd in the league but behind Liverpool that would be treated as a crisis. 2nd behind City is more respectable. As would be signing a marquee striker etc.

Still think in Nov we are too early. Liverpool's performance today in winning was similar to when City and Arsenal were winning games earlier in the season when you could tell it wasn't all kosher behind the scenes. Eventually you do that against a Bournemouth or a Spurs and you get your pants pulled down and same will happen to them unless they can bring their performances up. They do have an ability to score from all over the pitch though

Very pragmatic is Slott..much better 'manager' then club klopp shop

Where from though?

It's a long season. They are very reliant on Salah and VVD. They've been able to play more or less the same team so far. The season finishes in 6 months. A lot can happen. We shall see.

Clearly not, which is why I think Liverpool are statistically likely to have a bad run. Remember when they were a shoo-in for the title after the City-Arsenal 0-0 last season and then shat the bed?

I have a feeling United won't get 3 points today, surely this one works?

There's no Mo Salah to bail the Rags out.

I can't be dead wrong twice.

Wanna bet?

 

[jimharri]

Fuck this; I'm gonna take a look at the Napoli vs Roma game.

Wanna bet?

80 mins left, calma calma.

You honestly think Ipswich will get something from the game? I hope you're right, I really do.

Arsenal should win it but there manager and his neanderthal tactics, targeted Rodri and put him out for the season in our match, now chasing a manager that hasn’t spent anything like what he has, that game at the Etihad has probably backfired for Arteta in a strange way.
