Premier League 2023/24: Race for the Top

[Sapient Hawk]

Sp**s are so open it’s a joke, Impostercoglu doesn’t change his tactics for anyone either.

Good, we could do with an idiotic team led by an equally imbecilic manager right about now.

I'm going to the Forest Vs Man City game.

Told my girlfriends brother that I'll wear a Forest shirt to the pub afterwards if they take points off Man City.

Pitch invasion if they drop all 3 points

Not sure Nottinghams tantrum about the refs will do them any good tbh, probably counter productive

Could be but I think every decision will be looked at under a microscope and since it’s at The City Ground the referee could be pressured slightly.

No chance Rodri will be getting away with his usual antics by trying to slyly cut off the counter attacks which will play into their hands.

 

[Haphazard]

I do feel there is at least 1 twist in the tale for all 3 teams but whether its a positive twist/negative twist and the timing of the twist remains to be seen...

18th Oct 1987 1 -2 followed by 10th Sept 1988 2-3

By my reckoning, this is the last time we won consecutive away NLD league games?

 

[Jamie99]

A lot of pundits and fans alike emphasized on the Wolves, Chelsea, Sp**s and Man Utd games being the difficult ones for us, however, thus far we've overcome 2 out of the 4.

It's not easy to really predict run-ins but at the moment I think I'll lean towards @SA Gunner position on the Villa game being the hardest of the lot, which also is testament of their position on the table. Thus I'm not so fussed about the outcome of our two leg meetings with Villa because we did really well to beat them but things just didn't work out quite well for us.

I think we win the league with City as runners up. This lads really deserve it 'cause they've given so much for the past 3 years to be in this moment after the last season capitulation.

Ranking City's games left by the likelihood of them dropping points I'd go.

1. Sp**s Away
2. Brighton away
3. Fulham away
4. Forest Away
5. Wolves at home
6. West Ham at home

I still think they drop points in two of those.

 

[Nunowoolmez]

City are strong but they have been throwing in a lot more draws this season than before. If they can drop 2 points it would give us that opportunity.

No games are easy this time of the season, but historically this is when they come into their own. Sp**s are their bogey team, let's pray they can do us a favour !

Pool - not sure about them. Can see them tailing off a bit tbh

We just have to focus on ourselves & be clinical with the chances we get & we will win our games.

 

[Tnegs]

The 115 charges might still play a role in determining the league winner. Even if can’t catch City we still need to finish above Pool because them fkers certainly don’t deserve to win it if a points deduction does happen.

I love your optimism mate, but the FA have no backbone & won't do fck all about 115.

 

[Synical]

it's a different City with Foden/Doku/Grealish instead of killers like Gundo and Mahrez. Not out of this world that they drop points.

Agreed. They look knackered too

I keep thinking of Silva's interview after our game at the Etihad (I think it was that game) He seemed resigned that they weren't going to win the PL this season

 

[Synical]

Regardless of where we finish I'm proud of the team first season back in the CL and going out in the QF against Bayern is not the end of the world.

Being in a title race in late April is very encouraging, this time last year we pretty much lost all ground to city and in days past we would be out of title races by Feb.

We need 1-2 more xG cheaters like Trossard, guys that can create something out of nothing.

The matches against Villa didn't help but for me the most infuriating one was the 2-2 draw vs Fulham at home.

I can't remember that Fulham game. I think I've blocked it from my mind

Enough with the bloody half-measures.

If they win, you find the nearest shop & tattoo Viv Anderson's face on your arse

In 10 years' time they will strip City of all their titles, so we were Champions 22-23 season. The problem is that war will have started with the AI killbots by this time so football will be the last thing on anyone's mind.

 

[Sanchez11]

City hasn't lost since Dec 8th ffs, this proves how hard it is to overcome them. Were close though, i hope we can do it.

A draw is enough if we win all our remaining games ...

 

[King87]

We deserve to win the league on goal difference

 

[LookingForEric]

My scenario can still play out

We draw one more game, win the rest, City draw two more and we both finish on 87 points (but we win on GD).

TORTURE.
