Premier League 2023/24: Our Race Is Run

[Hleb's Sirush]

3 goals up to add more goals against one of the most suicidal high lines at the top level. We end the game with +1 goal.

An early goal against a central defense of Casemiro and Evans in a Man Utd team who concede for fun. End the game with +1 goal.

I hate to nit pick when the team has taken the title to the last game of the season but the thought of Sp**s somehow getting a draw against City only for them to leapfrog us on the last because we refused to add a couple of goals in those 2 games will be such a horrible feeling.

Did anyone notice Utd have saved their end of season walk around until their night game next week? Sp**s didn’t do it “because people have work and school the next day”

Don’t people in Manchester work or study?

it would have been quite poetic for them having to do a lap of honour in that torrential rain.

Probably cause of the rain maybe

UNLESS...

Sp**s 2-1 City
City 1-1 West Ham

Arsenal 0-1 Everton

We win it on GD.

Bleep bleeping hell. Wow. Let's do it.

Cheering for Spuds is like cheering for a trashbag.. Well if it helps, so be it.

"I don't think we give enough respect to Man City.."

They don't get enough respect because they became this good because of 115 breaches Merson.

Unfortunately the year ends in 4, so we're ****ed.

Very impressive stuff. We really showed what we’re capable of going to grounds like Anfield, OT, The Etihad etc this season.

Yet this is completely ignored and people point out particular dropped points (Fulham, villa etc)?

I’m not saying those games weren’t disappointing, but this is how a league season goes. Those moments happen. We done superbly to make up for those mistakes against the top 6. We literally just won at WHL and OT in the run in ffs. All of us had dropped points down in those games.

It’s just unfortunate we’re up against the best manager in history and one of the most well oiled machines anyone has ever come up against.

Being 3 ahead on goal difference is more than acceptable, as either City beat Sp**s and goal difference is irrelevant anyway (and they will beat West Ham at home too) or they don't and we go into the last game with them needing to better us by 3 goals.

If we can't win the title with a 3 goal head start at home to Everton with them having nothing to play for and the future of their club in jeopardy, then we really are losers ffs

Whoever is top come Tuesday at 10pm, will win the league.

So start praying and sacrificing family members to all the Gods!

Unfortunately you realistically need 90+ points to give yourself the best chance to win. You look at every league winner in Europe this season and either they have 90+ or are on such a pace.

It’s always raining in Manchester. That was their sunniest day since records began.

Yeah but even if they had planned it it wouldn't have worked, they are about to get the inflatable boats out

This right here is a perfect example though of how much has to go wrong for City to beat us on GD

It’s not that implausible though. City can definitely rack up the goals against West Ham.

They have to rack up the goals by a lot while we simultaneously only win by 1. I think those 2 combined is pretty unlikely.

The most unlikely part of that equation is them dropping points at Sp**s.

Double over United. Home wins over Pool and City. Clean sheets at Anfield and the Etihad. Great that we've taken it to the wire, but bittersweet that it's not in our hands.

Anfield was 1-1 but indeed, great h2h against the legacy top 6
