I'm sure they will but at least they've got a bit of a buffer now. They'd be foolosh to step off the gas now though. City can easily catch up but the title should be Liverpool's this year as long as there's no fuck ups. I thought Klopp leaving would have an impact but obviously not.
You are right. The title is Liverpool's to lose now with the healthy point lead they have now and also the healthy goal difference lead. The closest to them in GD is Tottenham are they are all the way down in 6th place.
I am hoping they start having lots of those fuck ups and we stop having them, so we can get a chance to out up a real fight. 2 bad matches in row is all it takes to throw the title open again.

Slot has had the best start at a new club that I have seen.

Big surprise to see Ipswich getting a draw against Manchester United, but this was important point for them in survival race.


Not for me. I got that exact score right as did four others. I don't trust United at all these days and they're all the way down in twelfth place right now.

Nobody got any points from last nights game.

What is happening to City? I haven't watched any of the games this season but City have lost 5 in a row now, four of witch in the Premier League.



I expect Liverpool to drop some points in their 5 next EPL matches.

Yup, gave us a lifeline when we needed it the most. That handball for the penalty is ridiculous.
The wind may have had an influence but as a professional you should be able to read that. But as you said, it is only the points that count and Liverpool got 3 to extend their lead.

However - City looks terrible and if they don't win at Anfield the difference will remain big - if they lose it turns to 11 points. Arsenal doesn't impress me as well.
I got the closest glimpse last week to the title challenging Arsenal of last season and it felt very good to keep a clean sheet. If we can keep Martin and Saka fit, we can start to build some real momentum.

I expect Liverpool to drop some points in their 5 next EPL matches.

You were +8 points ahead of Manchester City at this stage in the 2021/2022 season and ended up losing the league to Citeh. I'm not saying it will be the same this season, but with the level of your performance this season, would you guys be able to maintain the lead for too long?

To be honest, I don't feel like we're ready for it. If we were playing against City from 2021-22 season, I would tell you that this LFC won't be able to sustain the challenge.

Therefore you won't need 90+ points for the title and yes - we can surely start acting like one of the main contenders. I really hope we try to go for a top-class midfielder in the January window though.

Overall, a terrible LFC performance. Usually we have some kind of idea what to do with the ball, with their narrow 5 at the back we simply crossed it in without any success or started shooting from 20 yards out.
Am truly disappointed with the level of performance (especially conceding twice), but the points are all that counts. Let's move on, City at Anfield will be awesome.

Liverpool seem to be cruising with autopilot in Premier League and they are making bigger advantage from other teams.
My performance in superbru is not worth mentioning, but there is one more match left to play.
Any predictions for Newcastle vs West Ham?

All goals Southampton conceded were very silly and is not acceptable at this stage of the game. They are one team i am sure will definitely be going down come end of the season.

How in the earth I get so many wrong picks LOL
I don't mind not to have any point from the City match, Wolves were an upset but others! I always find myself with the wrong side. This pool is not going well with me for the last few years 😔


You are not the only one. Most of us missed all of the picks. I somehow improved by one position in this round. Was expecting to drop at least couple of spots but ended up improving so i think everyone in this round messed up and it pretty much even. So you didnt lose much points in this round

Well, might have spoken too soon about LFC, that hand ball penalty gave them the lead.

Is that right?  Just the two of us here?  That seems wrong on so many levels. 

Honestly, the only reason I'm and gooners fan is because I'm American and they have a gun on their crest.  It's the coolest fucking crest in all of soccer!  I've never been to England, but visiting long enough to see a live match at Emirates Stadium is on my bucket list.
There may be some other silent ones, who knows?

It is the coolest one in the league and we got the coolest nickname too.

It is still too early but can we hope for the title this year 😂
It's very possible. We can expect another three points tomorrow against Southampton, can't we?

Man, don't ever, ever say anything about title hopes, definitely not in November, definitely with not half of the season gone. Remember, Liverpool are the only team in Prem history to lead by Christmas and not win.

We're a goal up, but it was a gift.

Edit: See, now Saints got a weird, weird penalty.
We did not give up. Full three points at the end.

Yeah but this time we need to have good point difference so that at the end of the season a few draw and a few lose does not make any difference. I City starts becoming strong as the league progress. That's where I fear.

By New years will be something remarkable, I will be happy if we are within 2-3 points off the top of the table.

You are the first other Arsenal fan I have seen here, nice to not be alone.

I would be nice to see Arsenal at the top of the table by New Years.  And even better at the end of May!

We have six very winnable fixtures coming up to finish off 2024.
Yes, if we are to actually push for the title getting all points available this year will be pivotal and is very doable. You are the first other Arsenal fan I have seen here, nice to not be alone.

Might be a good weekend for the goonerz.

I was just thinking the same thing.  Arsenal seems to have come out of their rough spell, City is deep in theirs.  Is it LFC's turn?  I would be nice to see Arsenal at the top of the table by New Years.  And even better at the end of May!  We have six very winnable fixtures coming up to finish off 2024.

Man City without Rodri is just bad. I think if they end up in top 4 they should be satisfied.
And losing Kovacic means they do not have any replacements and will have to use a makeshift midfield against Liverpool at Anfield next week. As an Arsenal fan, I hope they draw and take points away from each other.

Southampton looks to have learnt their lesson this second half and are clearing the ball out of dangerous situations more often and just as I was typing this, they have scored to take the lead. Might be a good weekend for the goonerz.

I feel hard done by. There haven't been good odds against City in any of those 5 games (not to me anyway). So I usually bet against them, but not on any of these, since they have been expected to face tough games. Shame!

City 5 straight losses in a row, what the hell is happening there?
The second clown is like Manchester United.

Liverpool goes 8 points clear at the top of the table with a win tomorrow.
Please God don't make us fuck this up, Southampton is by far the worst team in the league.
If we get a point tonight against Southampton, then the points lead will be 8 for Liverpool. We have to be ready to take it later.

LFC_Bitcoin is probably laughing at the Manchester City result. Cheesy

I'm not a fan of the EPL, but since I'm part of the Sportsbet.io pool, I stay updated on the standings, including Man City's performance. This current matchday delivered an unexpected result—no one predicted a 0-4 loss on their homecourt advantage. I feel like this isn't the end, and we might see more losses and upsets in Man City's upcoming games.
