Real tight up the top, around a quarter of the way in. Could be a close season, assuming City don't do the usual and go on a seventy billion game winning run again.

It's gonna be a tight race until March, and then City will win every game and take the league

That’s usually what the league’s decided by nowadays, most teams challenging can string 3-4 good games together but being able to do 10+ when it matters is what wins you the title

I don’t think that will happen this year. The rest of us, including us, are closer to City.

I think they’ll drop games they didn’t last year, the Pools, Aston Villas et al.

Everyone said that last year and look what happened.

[–] stilusmobilus@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No they didn’t, everyone said that City would go on a streak and they did.

[–] chrissysnose@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Nope, everyone was talking about how City looked less fluid than the season prior due to Haaland’s integration. After results like Brentford (H) and Arsenal’s momentum, there were serious doubts to whether they could go on their usual 10+ game streak to end the season. You’re doing the exact same thing people were doing last year. Until either Arsenal, Liverpool or Spurs can prove they can go on a 10+ win streak, City are undisputed favourites.

Well, we've strung nine together with no defeats

[–] stilusmobilus@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

It’ll be a fight between the four of you, us, Tottenham and City, provided you, us and Tottenham don’t get crucial injuries. That’s the fighters, though, and any one of us are good enough.

City won’t do that run this year, the others, including the couple below us, are closer to City this year as we are. I think whoever is good enough to get 85 this season might be good enough.

It’s closer this year.

70 billion dollar January signings you mean

Better to just assume it's inevitable tbh
