Title Race

[No2]

I think Arsenal need to drop points before City do. I can see a situation where City drop points and then Arsenal win out.

[Bruce Spanner]

Under normal conditions Arsenal have three games left where you wouldn’t be surprised if they dropped points, City have one and we have one.

 

That doesn’t factor in form teams like Villa, or Brighton/Wolves who can turn it on when they feel like it.

 

Still all to play for.

[Bobby Hundreds]

I still think Arsenal win the league. 

[TheDrowningMan]

The Spurs game is the last realistic chance of Arsenal dropping points this season. I can’t see them falling short in any other.

[Ronnie Whelan]

I'm very worried about Villa. Very good side and as has been said Watkins is one of the best players in the league. Hopefully, they are in a European final and have their eyes on other things. Spurs are a funny one - they can be top class or shite. They could take points off all three of us. West Ham are playing very bad, but the timing is horrible. I think we'll beat the blueshite but it will be a battle. 

 

City have nasty games. I don't expect them to drop more than 2 points but you never know.

 

I have Arsenal dropping 2-3 points, but you never know we might get a surprise and they lose more.

 

It was nice to look more like a decent side yesterday. Not perfect, but a good win against a pretty good side away from home.

Think Arsenal are going to get beat tomorrow.

I think they'll batter Spurs, they'll exploit the high line and win comfortably by 2 or 3 goals

[Jairzinho]

Score draw. 

 

However, it's irrelevant as City aren't dropping another point. 

[johnsusername]

Man City could win the double for the next 100 years and the media at large will still keep quiet about the cheating.

Yeah I can't see spurs laying a glove on them and Arsenal just bumming big Anges tactical brains out. Spurs v city on the other hand, I could see City losing that.

We may yet need abu dhabi to win that....

[AngryOfTuebrook]

So, we're qualifying for the Champions League today. There's that.

Not a million miles away. It was not even close to being a 3-0 game at ht. I put a decent bet on the draw at ht.

Right - so now all the pressure is off, let's hope Anfield can put aside the frustration, disappointment and agg with the club over ticket prices and give Jurgen Klopp the send off he deserves over these last games.

 

The players too need to get their heads straight and show their gratitude and respect for the man by putting in performances worthy of him.

 

Everything else for now does not matter - it is all just about marking a true LFC legend, a man who transformed our club and 'delivered what he said' in a manner he so richly deserves.

[Leyton388]

Just think if we'd have beat Palace at home, the shite away and not conceded late against West ham we'd be sitting top not needing city to drop points. 

 

Absolute cowards have truly bottled it. 

[Section_31]

Usually I'd hope arsenal win over city, but it'd be nice for arsenal to get a taste of what we've had for the last few years, and for English footy in general to have had a good long laugh about us, then belatedly realise we were the only thing keeping it from looking like Scottish footy on steds this past few years.

[Anubis]

I wonder if watching an Arsenal team playing at the top of their game being unable to best a City team who aren’t, would wake a few more up. Probably not.

They could conceivably have won another treble this year, all while being under investigation. What's not to love. 

 

I hope they win the treble next year, and the year after, and the year after that - and everyone goes to watch Marine and fucking Rushden and Diamonds instead and Gary Neville ends up as a judge on Britain's Got Talent. 

[Total Longo]

The scary thing is that *if* City win the league again this year, we are the only thing that has stopped them winning 7 titles on the bounce.

We'll also likely be the only team to have taken them to the final day in that time.  Without Jürgen Klopp, City would have had 6 years (possibly 7; we'll see) without a meaningful challenge.

 

Greatest league in the world, innit.

[kemskem]

If they had preferred us to win it over the financial dopers I think I’d have preferred Arsenal but they didn’t so I don’t.

Same. I look at it in two ways. 1) Every single trophy City win will be tainted. They know, we know it, everyone knows it. They can pretend it doesn't bother them, but it clearly does 2) Arsenal fans will be absolutely unbearable and think Arteta is at least the equal of Klopp, amongst other things. So based on both of these factors, out of the two, i'd just about prefer the cheats to win.       

[Bobby Hundreds]

I'd rather Arsenal won the league over  city but still I'd be amused if Spurs shown absolute shithousery now they can't get top 4 and played kids and squad fodder against City just to piss Arsenal off. 

[Binomial]

Love for Arsenal fans to miss out again.

 

Their cocky fans were getting too comfortable when we were the ones missing out, now the shoe's on the other foot.....let's see how comfortable they really are. Cunts.

 

As for City. No one gave a fuck about them then, no one gives a fuck about them now. Manufactured club with 115x* against every single trophy they've won in the last 10 years.
