The race

The gods were proud of the work done by @the count yesterday.

This is a real pickle.

"A team that plays like it drinks Bovril" is just fucking weird and nonsensical, but what else fits? 🤔

...and wins the Championship before May.

Major problem lads. We may have to rewrite or scap one of our favourite chants if we win the Championship in April. 🤣🤣

"... and wins the championship in BY May"

Pressure? From where?

We’ve a very tricky run of Chelsea Arsenal and spurs ( I think). Doesn’t take much for that big lead to dwindle. Everton at home is no gimme either. Think we should win, but they’ll put up a fight.

I agree, and based on prior experiences, if anyone can fuck it up, it's us.
That being said,

it's done.

I want to see opta odds for when the parade could be, so that I can get ahead of it.

He did say it apologetically, and his mouth may have said those words, but his entire demeanour said, "It's over – we're Arsenal".

Yeah he actually came across as a nice honest guy in that interview. Of course he had to parrot Arteta when it comes to the title race - well not quite, he didn't ignore the question and storm off !

We *should* win? The opta computer thingy makes it a 99.5% chance. So if we ran the league from now 200 times only once in those 200 universes would we be defeated. If we're in that Universe we may as well launch ourselves from a window like people who have disappointed Putin, because it's shit.

So you're saying we might still lose the league.

 

[jexykrodic]

I have no doubt that we will spin this out by having a couple of poor results however any threat is predicated on Arsenal being perfect which is unlikely!

If we're in one of the most depressing universes going, yes.

We let City back into the title race that year by dropping points in a couple games. What felt like a lost cause to them suddenly became an achievable goal and we all know what happened in the end.

Now obviously Arsenal are not the City of a few years ago but let's not give them any reason to play harder and grind out wins that they otherwise might not.

Dude, look around you. It could hardly get any worse.

I thought that whilst typing those words in fairness.

Nothing was ever a lost cause to that City team. We were never more than 6 ahead (after their game in hand was played), we still had to travel to their place, and that was in feckin' January! That lead was NOTHIN compared to this one, and everybody - even the most determined pessimist here - knows it.

 

[MomoWASright]

Like I said before, some of you misery arses need to enjoy these last 9 games. Next season maybe a closer affair and you’ll regret not taking all of this in.
