The Title Race - 2024/25

[chris85mcfc]

Just don't think 13/2 is the right price for us

I don't think any of us are great sides which gives us a chance if we can manage to get some form together in the new year

80-85 points for the winner. Worst set of top sides for a long time, with a very good set of teams throughout the rest of the league.

I said that in early November^

Still think the same. Still don’t think our midfield is good enough though.

Rubbish league. 80 points might win it and with a couple of astute signings we’re capable of giving that a good go.

But if we win it this year the boards and coaching staff of every other big club should resign in shame. They’ll never have a better chance.

If City beat the Rags, it's on again.

6 points behind the Coach Wreckers. OK, they have a game in hand.

Liverpool are starting to drop points.
Arsenal can't score from open play in the PL, and are also dropping points.

I know it's a big ask because of the way City are playing, but if we can get our injured players back, get through Christmas, buy some players in January, City will still be in the title race. With Liverpool and Chelsea still to come to the Etihad next year.

Would you look at that. Liverpool and arsenal dropping points again. Yet loads of posters on here said it’s done and dusted

 

[CatMan]

Christ there are some optimists on here. You have to remember it doesn't matter how many points other teams drop as we are dropping more ourselves. Have you not watched the last 10 games? We have less than no chance of winning that league and I will be genuinely astonished if we can get top 4!

I will return to this thread tomorrow evening to witness the reality sinking in!

We are doomed. May as well sack pep now whilst we can

Come on now , even we cant win it from here , after four intense years the players are exhausted

A game at a time. Still lots of games left.

The game at hand is the final Merseyside Derby at Goodison. I'd like to hope that Everton would put up a better fight than they normally do.

As things stand, we are only two liverpool losses away from it being back in our hands. That's hardly a thing to give up over.

I agree we need to get our own shit sorted and that is probablynthe bigger hurdle at the moment.

But plenty left to play and happen.

 

[Citizen of Legoland]

Fuck sake. Just as I was warming to not having to worry about other teams results and resigning myself to a nice easy 4th to 6th spot, we get pulled back in.

Wouldn't like to be in a trench with some of these lot, fucking hell.

The truth is somewhere between his opinion and yours.
Arsenal aren't brave enough and Liverpool don't have the quality to maintain such a high level of consistency
However that's the easy bit

Your other post doesn't mention Chelsea and assumes that we'll suddenly find a run of 5-6 victories
Hopefully you've seen something that I haven't

 

[chaddblue]

Forget the title race

Lets just get back to winning ways and see where it takes us

The same level of fight as last season would be just fine

 

[N1985]

Get to January within 6/8 points and we're in with a shout

This team has done far too many special things especially after Christmas

I don't here no bell

Win it from here and we'd break football

OK, who has hacked @kaz7 profile?

After winning four leagues in a row, you have to have some faith that we can win the league again, especially against teams that have won nothing for a few years

Liverpool lose two games and we’re back

I admire your optimism and I know I have previous for saying it’s all over prematurely, but no chance.
