25/26 Title race šŸ†

English Football
383

A timely reminder of the games we didnā€™t win during our ā€œInvinciblesā€ season:

H Portsmouth 1-1
A Man Utd 0-0
A Charlton 1-1
H Fulham 0-0
A Leicester 1-1
A Everton 1-1
H Man Utd 1-1
A Newcastle 0-0
A Spuds 2-2 (Clinching the title at WHL for a second time - just in case anyone forgot).
A Portsmouth 1-1 (Admittedly a nothing-to-play-for game)

FA Cup
0-1 A Man Utd (semi)

League Cup
1-3 agg v Middlesbrough (semi)

Champions League
0-3 H Inter
0-0 A Lokomotiv Moscow
1-2 A Dynamo Kyiv
2-5 agg Celta Vigo. (round of 16)

Despite some very happy memories of that season, we were far from perfect at times. I have no doubt that given the lack of depth in our squad, going out of the Champions League early probably helped us domestically.

Nitpick but Champions League exit was Chelsea in the Quarters

385

think there were also an additional 2 draws somewhere; as we ended the EPL campaign with 26 wins + 12 draws, but I get your point - our invincibles team were not perfect by any means.

386

Where is my legendary post about the draws in Invincible season being different than the draws in a regular season?

Haha just woke up to Liverpool & Chelsea results.
They are out of title race for sure.

Arsenalā€™s on pace to hit 87-88 points.
For Liverpool to hit 88 points from here, they would need to win 22 out of 24.
Itā€™s completely done for them.

Villa away this Saturday is a beast of a game. Villa and Emery have dented our title hopes in the past and we somehow seem to come up short against them more often than not. Canā€™t happen this time. Have to find a way to win. Hope Saliba & Trossard are back for this.

Need the big players to put in big performances. No room for slip-ups.

Safe to say itā€™s between Arsenal and City now.

City yet to visit Stamford Bridge and A field and even OT gives an edge to Arsenal but Arsenal have to visit Etihad..which could very well be the decider

I seriously doubt they will get that close to us.

Letā€™s hope so but they do go on some unbelievable run.

Right now they donā€™t look that great and will drop points here and there, unless there is a disaster from our end, we should win it comfortably.

I think 82-83 will be more than enough to win league this year considering how frequently points are dropped by everyone

A lot will depend on Rodriā€™s return and if he can achieve the levels he showed a couple seasons back. And stay fit of course.

We took 9 from 15 from our upcoming fixtures last season. 4 wins and a draw would be lovely and puts us on over 90 point pace at the halfway point.

We get rid of Forest and Leeds away next month also.

Only leaves City away in April and potentially West Ham and Palace away in May if the title is going to the final weeks :face_with_peeking_eye:

Villa Park is going to be a massive test.

We had some serious big dick energy a few weeks ago. Feels like that has reduced a little with the Gabriel and Saliba injuries. Need to recapture that swagger and put on a physical clinic on Emeryā€™s boys.

If Saliba and Rice start we should win it. If Trossard comes back then itā€™s a lock.

I took a prolonged break. Must have been over a year, something like that.

I realised that I was engaging with other people in a judgmental and negative way at times, being dismissive. I was investing too much emotional energy, itā€™s not healthy.

Took a step back, and returning with a different perspective.

We all love Arsenal in our own way, we all want the club to succeed. I hope we manage it this season, and this entire community is united in joy.

If we go into that game with the chance of that happening then i reckon Howard Webb might come out of retirement.

I wonā€™t mind that if we canā€™t win it before that

I prefer to win it earlier though, so we can focus on the CL.
