2023/24 Season

Premier League predictor time: https://www.worldfootball.net/table_...remier-league/

Have a go at this and see what you get. I only do the Liverpool, City and Arsenal games to save time.

I've ran through it a few times and it's always tight. Arsenal always come 3rd for me, and it is very, very tight between us and City. It is almost certainly going to come down to the final day either way IMO.

I can’t bare to look. The spurs robbery, the Odegaard handball, the Doku karate kick, we should be half a dozen points clear at this stage, and all three sides are so close that it’s almost inevitable that the winner will be determined by officials as much as the teams themselves.

we should be 5 points better off than we are (1 from Spurs, 2 more from Arsenal and 2 more from City) City and Arsenal should be a point each worse off, that would currently put us on 72, Arsenal on 64 and City on 63, so we should be 8pts ahead with 9 to play

I honestly think we would have beat spurs if we had gone ahead- 10 men or not.

People will point to the disgraceful decision of us getting a drop ball that we shouldn’t have had (it should have been a free kick to us), and I’m sure city will complain about the time they were through (against spurs I think) and the ref brought it back for a free kick. Theres always gonna be decisions that go against you, we can only focus on the big ones - penalties, disallowed goals, and red cards. what’s frustrating about the 3 you highlighted is that var is meant to catch these ones. I can stomach a ref making an error, but when var looks at it from multiple angles, in slow motion and still gets it wrong, that’s when it feels like there’s an agenda or something… even with var, there’s always gonna be that one decision that goes against you, but when the 3 biggest var blunders of the season go against us, in 3 games against title rivals (spurs were up there at the time) it’s very difficult to just swallow it.

Yep. It stinks. We've had decisions go for us as well but the ones against each rival is horrific. The odegard one esp. How was it not given.

[Big-Red-Ed]

We should be on for another 90 plus points season and that still might not be enough. Crazy times.

If we end on 91 or 92 points, Arsenal will need to win every one of their matches to finish on 92. They can't get higher than that. Draw one and they are on 90.

If City win every one of their remaining games, the best they can get is 91.

[dom9]

If all three teams win their remaining matches, they will end the season on 9 straight wins (well, 9 for the other two, and 10 for us)..

Well, it's unlikely isn't it? There are plenty of points to be dropped in those remaining 24 matches.

[red g]

would be a hell of a bet, all 3 teams, 9/10 straight wins.

What about the defenders? TAA & Robbo used to smash the assist stats every year once upon a time, but obviously both have missed a big chunk through injury

[peterbread]

TAA 2/9
Robertson 1/2
Konate 0/1 - Time for him to score this weekend.
VVD 4/2
Gomez 0/3
Kostas 0/4
Bradley 1/6 - That’s from 20 games the least of all the defenders.
Quansah 1/3

The CB’s with a few assists, maybe from some of those long diagonals. It would be interesting to see secondary assists for them.
Bradley and Kostas doing well.
Robertson just took over from TAA again on the all time assist list for defenders.

Cheers. We really have developed/ morphed haven’t we.
