It's the business end of the season and we have an actual irl title race for the first time in ages. One of the top three will pull away at some point but who will it be? Arsenal Aston Villa (H) Wolves (A) Chelsea (H) Spurs (A) Bournemouth (H) Man United (A) Everton (H) Liverpool Crystal Palace (H) Fulham (A) Everton(A) West Ham (A) Spurs (H) Aston Villa (A) Wolves (H) Man City Luton (H) Brighton (A) Notts Forest (A) Wolves (H) Fulham (A) West Ham (H) Spurs (A) (TBC) Would say City have the easiest run-in but all 3 teams are still in Europe and City are still in the FA Cup so fixture pile-up could have an effect. Spurs and Villa will fight between each other for the Top 4 Do They Get A Trophy For That Trophy.  Down the other end any one of about 7 teams could still get relegated. Sheffield United are just happy to be here at this point but Burnley could pull off a great escape or get saved by another round of points deductions. This month's thread is dedicated to one of the all-time greats: quote:JK Which one is Simon Bird [Daily Mirror's north-east football writer]?

As an Arsenal supporter I’m looking at that fixture list and feeling this is gonna be a poo poo couple of weeks. City are almost sure to sweep all 21 points.

Just want the title race to go down to the final day with a 3-way split screen of each match interspersed with fans in the stands listening on portable radios in 2024

I think whoever wins the title needs to win 6 of the remaining 7 games. Which is pretty wild to think about lol

Thanks Ants posted:Everton have been deducted another two points They're probably still too good to make the relegation places a real contest this year, but a penalty of some kind does seem deserved. Everton have been so recklessly run over the past decade. 2 points isn't going to have much of an impact. EDIT: Am I right that there is no standard table of points deductions? RAWK and other online places are rife with posts about how this is all leading up to some joke of a penalty (if any) for City and I have to admit that's what I'm anticipating too. Everything seems so arbitrary. Eric Cantonese fucked around with this message at 14:21 on Apr 8, 2024 |

Actually it's completely legitimate to have your shirt sponsor be a state-owned company that is the same state that owns the majority of the shares in your club.

Man Citys punishment has been delayed because Ceefax ran out of digits for the points penalty.

City’s fixtures for a title run in are a complete joke. Looking at that list and pinning your hopes on Forest (A) honestly looking like their trickiest fixture, in terms of being a side that’s fighting at a fairly hostile ground. Also lol at the latest in financial crimes news. A really stable league that’s fully in control.

What's going to happen is City's going to be found guilty and the punishment will, somehow, to be penalising Everton another 10 points.

City aren't going to drop points and spurs are going to lose 10-0 to boost their goal difference
