Deuce Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 (edited) Definitely feels like the massive expansion of ET has primarily benefited the bigger clubs. Whole lot of these game-winning/game-tying goals happening at 90+7’, 90+8’. Edited December 5, 2023 by Deuce Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bimpy474 Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 23 minutes ago, Wolfcastle said: Not to completely kill the romance but Its just football and teams score stoppage time winners and equalisers every week. We've all done it plenty without winning any titles. Sheffield United found a way to beat Wolves deep into stoppage time. Can't get less Champions material than that I was making a general point that champions find a way, i wasn't stating they would win it out of any romance, i cant stand them. And as KI pointed out, they're very unlikely to with the GK's they have. And yet, they are 5 points ahead to be fair, so it's not out of the realms of fantasy for them to do it. Still think Man City myself, once KDB is back, hopefully as that leaves Liverpool and that really would make us throw up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether it actually plays out like that, I don't know. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brentford probably their toughest game and that was a spawny last minute job too. Next three should establish their title credentials a little better. Villa, Brighton and Liverpool. Funny that it's been going up since VAR came around....... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrRaspberryJam Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 What game is everyone opting for for the 8:15 KO tonight? Man City or Man Utd? Think the Villa game will obviously be higher standard but the prospect of Ten Hag being beaten again is very tantalising. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicken Dancer Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 Actually really fancy Villa tonight. City having that inevitable pre-Christmas wobble (if you can call it that) where everyone questions them, before they rattle off 12 consecutive wins from Feb onwards to win the league.

Turnbull2000 Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 Would like Villa to get battered with a couple of injuries thrown in, but looks like they've got City at the best time, so think they'll take 3 points at home again. Liverpool will no doubt get a spawny late win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geordie Ahmed Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 I think Villa win, no Rodri is massive and City don't look quite right No doubt they'll go on a run at some point, especially when KDB is back but don't see it starting yet The Man U game is tougher to call, would prefer a Chelsea win but a draw would probably do too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUFCDoog Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 City won't do it this season, they're chasing down 2 teams not just one this time, and those two teams are a lot better than last season, and better prepared than the Arsenal of last season. If city lose tonight they're in big trouble. They've still got to go to Anfield, got to come here and play Arsenal, if they're 6 adrift after tonight it's no guarantee them going on their 12 game winning streak will be enough. Let's not also forget, City are a lot weaker this season than last season with the players they've lost. I just can't see it, and really do think Villa will win tonight Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
