Liverpool will run them close but I can't see Arsenal getting enough wins to stop Abu Dhabi stealing another title. It's all so predictable. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvonVillain Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Liverpool have the hardest run-in also. Arsenal's is tricky. City's easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep that's why I can't see how they can be stopped. I know they drew today, but I actually think they could win all their games from now on. The only obvious potential stumble is Spurs away, but Spurs have a difficult schedule over that period so even that's not a given. Hopefully they smash them to bits but it's a tricky game for them. I actually think Liverpool will drop points at Man United and VP. Maybe even West Ham. It will be close but the farce will continue with yet another trophy or 3.

TheMelvillan Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Man city's record has actually been pretty poor against the "bigger" teams this year so anything could happen Wednesday night 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan95 Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 (edited) Arsenal getting 4 points off both City and Liverpool puts them in a fantastic position. Still no idea who wins it though. Edited April 1 by villan95 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we DO have several key and more importantly, irreplaceable players out so I expect them to beat us convincingly barring a miracle. Even if that miracle happened and we won there , I still think they will win the league as I think Liverpool and Arsenal will come up short given their respective fixtures. At least there is a 3 way title race this season so I suppose that's a positive! That hasn't happened for a while. It's also worth noting that since we have to play all 3 of them, we may have a say on which one of them wins it. Especially as we have Liverpool 2nd last game!.

GingerCollins29 Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 As funny as some posts are regarding us genuinely winning the league, i hope the players are looking up and not down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't have to know about football results to do basic maths. If we won every game we'd finish on 83 points. There's no way all three of Liverpool, City and Arsenal won't get more than that. It's only 16 points for liverpool for example. 5 wins and a draw out of 9 games for a team in a title race is chicken feed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Man Utd, the holding hands derby. Tottenham, and West Ham away in there, that sounds possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might even be possible for two to do it. But for 3 teams to drop that many points that 83 would win it is so unlikely it’s not worth considering.

DJBOB Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 (edited) Put in a calculator where we beat all of Liverpool/Arsenal/City and winning every other match but drew against Chelsea. Even winning the 6 pointers would be tough as the rest of the sides have relatively easy run-ins. Edited April 1 by DJBOB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(though what gives me hope is the crazy results you must’ve given Chelsea to get them to rank so high) i was going to put, hypothetically if we somehow win tonight, which I don’t think we will but who knows, would the media include us back in the title race talk.
