The Title Race - 2024/25

[citymad]

Never mind the title, only 17 more points and we’re probably safe. Up the blues!

Fuck off Fuckin Flappers and Fannies FFS.

If we get a result Sunday we will win the league.

Were paying Saka 300k a week. We could offer 400k to Odegaard if needed, FFS we did it with Aubamayang & Ozil got 350k in his last contract - this was a few years ago to before the continued inflationary spiral in wages. Thats why im optimistic about Saliba extending. Because no, I dont think Real Madrid can blow us out the water for wages. We are one of the richest clubs in the world with very wealthy owners. Your talking like we are Fulham or Crystal Palace. If Man City offer 130m for Odegaard, its a hard no.

Selling your best players to 'reinvest' is a losing strategy. Barcelona proved this when they sold Neymar and reinvested in Dembele. There are exceptions, such as Liverpool selling Coutinho, but I dont think Coutinho was ever a proper top player.

Oh great, bridgeno3 now!

Let’s just remember this before the tears and tantrums ruin the lives of some on here. And yes, I’m aware of the game in hand

I think more City fans write off City, than fans of other teams. Fans of other teams seem to have been badly scarred by our huge winning streaks.

This season we look frail, but I am in no way ruling out a good push in the new year, we've just got to make sure the gap doesn't get out of hand.

Don't think anyone is expecting Liverpool to lose 4 more games than us the rest of the season, at this point.

But then I wasn't in the slightest expecting us to lose 3 league games in a row either, and I probably could have got good odds on that.

At the moment they would need 4 games in hand to have a chance of doing that ;) lets hope pep cobbles together an actual midfield this evening and we don't make it 6.

Coutinho was comfortably Liverpools best player at the time of his departure. And this included a team that at the time still had the likes of Salah, Firmino & Mane. Those 3 to their credit all went up another level in time but there is a reason Barca paid what they did. Unfortunately for him he reached his peak at liverpool and gradually got worse as his career continued.

So by that definition it's not impossible Odegaard leaves. If someone like City offer £130m plus £400k+ a week wages surely his head would get turned. They must surely be looking at him given KDBs best days are seemingly behind him.

Its impossible.

Please, if you know of any bookie offering odds on whether Odegaard will be at Arsenal next season. Please point me in the direction of the free money

You can't win titles without a great defense. Our defense doesn't exist. Teams are no longer afraid of us, they understand that if they just try, they can score quite easily. Anything can happen in football but I would be very, very surprised if we were in the title race until the end. It looks more like a race for top 4.
