Expectations - 2023/2024 Season

HomeSteak

Clrnc Liverpool will win it, and easy. They will rip City at home and win it. We have a horrible schedule. We need to win all 3 away games you listed in order to have a chance, and we won't. We almost never score at the Etihad, no point in talking about winning, no matter how shit United is, we still find it hard to get even a point there, we might beat Spurs...but it won't be enough.
As you said, Fulham & West Ham games fucked us up bad.

If you can't enjoy what we're delivering this season, then this sport isn't good for your health.

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Agreed, I think we blew it. It's really upsetting because of how good we are. Probably the best team in the league.

Claudius

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert still a lot of games left in the season.
Go back a month ago and look at the discussion then. People were saying we are in a fight for top 4. Let’s take it a day at a time. Also, constantly thinking about the title will prevent you from fully enjoying the dominant shows we are putting on week after week. What we are doing is brilliant. Bathe in it.

Clrnc

Just a tiny hope that United can do City on the counter at Ettithad and City drop points as usual at Spuds and Anfield

TambourineMan

We desperately need to Liverpool to drop points when they're not expected to. If that doesn't happen, we're not winning this league.

Absolutely this.

Mirth

Clrnc we should absolutely destroy Chelsea at home. No excuses - they aren’t even as good as Newcastle these days.

City away is the only fixture that is acceptable to drop points. Maybe United away because of our mental block

Mirth Maybe United away because of our mental block

Nah, fuck that. It's about time we fixed that.

Lukazan

est Definitely. We've done a lot of good work to move away from the banter era i.e looking assured defensively, not getting mauled in big games and even becoming a real danger on set-pieces and I think dealing with these cunts is another huge step we can take. They are an absolute joke and it's about time we go there and not only win, but win well similar to how Man City and Liverpool have done in the past. I don't know if I will ever recover if the title race goes down to the wire and we lose there to take us out of it.

Is Adebayor '06 the last time we beat them in the league at OT?

HomeSteak

daredevil i am enjoying it.

Mirth

Lukazan Is Adebayor '06 the last time we beat them in the league at OT?

We beat them 0-1 in 2020 when Aubameyang scored

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Mirth we were awful going forward but Elneny and Partey bossed that game!

Lukazan

Ah yes, now you mention it I instantly remember it. Wouldn't have had a chance in doing so otherwise. Scary. And yet, ask me what was the score when we played Charlton away in 2002 and I can tell you that...

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Lukazan I'm the same. I remember so many irrelevant results from 20+ years ago, but I've genuinely forgotten half of our results over the last year or two.

Big Willie

Lukazan And yet, ask me what was the score when we played Charlton away in 2002 and I can tell you that...

2001 but yeah, point taken haha.

Sicario2 - Tier 1

It’s good to enjoy recent form but let’s not be naive or get too carried away. After 6 wins in row and scoring 25 goals we are still only 3rd. Shows how bad those Xmas/NY results were.

Having said that, game week 28 is crucial. We could go top if we beat Brentford (assuming we beat Sheffield Utd beforehand) before Liverpool play City.

Actually these next 5 games for City will tell us a lot 🇦

Man Utd at home
-Liverpool away
Us at home
Brighton away
Villa at home

I believe in these 5 games the title will be won and lost.

Meatwad

funny how after being so great in london derbies prior to this season it'll probably be those games that cost us.

Claudius

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert investment

naz

Liverpool players dropping like flies. It's city's to lose but they're not looking all that great too. We have a really good chance at winning it this year. I think city are the favorites

RocktheCasbah

I was thinking earlier about last season and the games around the Manchester City away game. And a conversation I had with the Arsenal fan who works in the gym about that game. He asked me what I thought would happen and I said, oh we'll get battered. He said, thank you! (Obviously, he felt the same)

As exciting as we were going forward, we were wide open at the back. I was at games against Palace and Leeds, we won both of those 4-1 but both of those were quite flattering to us as we gave up good chances. With the City game beginning to appear on the horizon now, I don't think this Arsenal team will get battered. I'm not saying we won't lose, but this set of players are absolutely good enough to go to Manchester and come back with a positive result. I didn't think that was the case last season

Not that I'm getting ahead of myself or anything...

RocktheCasbah

Completely agree. We are better this season.
