[LookingForEric]

WILD. My prediction was Liverpool to win it but they’ve completely crumbled!!

City getting it easy. Win our final 4 games and win the league.

Sort of just clocked we still have to play away at spuds and Utd, two easy home games two potentially very tricky away games. Fckin hell it’s gonna be tough

One match at a time.

Football is a crazy game.

The Sp**s game is probably the decider you'd think. We tend to come a cropper there, and they've been resting since the 13th.

At least we're in it.

Don't underestimate United, we haven't won there since 2006 with fans, without fans it was Partey/Elneny masterclass.

Plus Ten Hag will treat it like a cup final and shin kick us to pieces.

 

[Goonger]

I did say that Liverpool tend to struggle at Everton, and this spell of away games with Atalanta, Fulham, Everton & West Ham they could drop points somewhere.

 

[LookingForEric]

We have to drop points twice to finish below Liverpool now, pretty sure we finish 2nd at least.

I’d rather play Sp**s and United away who will be more expansive than an Everton or forest who are fighting to stay up and will defensive block + counter.

Ten Hag absolutely hates us. I think he's jealous of Arteta. He knows that he could never coach as well as Arteta.

Derbies are ridiculously hard to win away from home. If City don't drop points tomorrow, they've got one hand on the trophy basically.

 

[RandomHero84]

I'm really pleased with how we have played this season overall when things calm down.

We deserve to win the league this season. Even if we don't, I still feel we deserve it. Even with the slips.

 

[Artemis]

City have to drop points tomorrow.

The only games where I can see that they might drop points is Brighton away and Fulham away.

I know City are facing Tottenham away in the penultimate game of the season but there's no chance that Tottenham will get anything from that game. They won't want to hand the title to us.

They have 5 games after that. They cannot drop a single point.

 

[Artemis]

Derbies are ridiculously hard to win away from home. If City don't drop points tomorrow, they've got one hand on the trophy basically.

Unfortunately yeah. If they get 3 points tomorrow, it's realistically over. The only thing we can do is take it to the very last game.

The ideal situation would be if we beat Sp**s but Aston Villa keep dropping points as well so that towards the end of the season, Sp**s are still in with a chance of top 4.

Because if they still can achieve top 4, then they'll have no choice but to play for a draw/win against City.

But if they're totally out of the top 4 race by the penultimate game, then they'll have literally no incentive to even get a draw against City.

 

[LookingForEric]

Have you lot even watched Sp**s recently? Yeah it’s a derby, yeah it’s away, but they aren’t City. We are a phenomenal football team, if we lose we lose but we can comfortably win if we’re on it.

The last CL place may still be up for grabs. If it is, Sp**s will want to get a result.

Whats the super computer saying?

The last CL place may still be up for grabs. If they are, Sp**s will want to get a result.

If Villa beat Chelsea this weekend and we beat Sp**s 4th is pretty much done and dusted. Sp**s would need to win away at Chelsea and Liverpool to give themselves a chance going into that City game and even that might not be enough.

 

[LookingForEric]

Whats the super computer saying?

Brighton 1-3 City (76 points)
Sp**s 1-1 Arsenal (78 points)
Forest 1-1 City (77 points)
Arsenal 2-1 Bournemouth (81 points)
Man City 3-0 Wolves - (80 points)
Fulham 2-3 City - (83 points)
United 1-3 Arsenal - (84 points)
Sp**s 3-3 City - (84 points)

Last day of the season. 87-87, we win it on GD.

Form goes out of the window in derbies. They'll be fueled by pure hate. We must minimize the game from becoming end to end as much as possible.
