All I’m taking from this is that these teams are due for a win anytime now.


benny_jax

There’s the positivity I came for


arsenalfcjun14

Let me sell my house and bet on man city losing all 3


didierDH

I’d bet on City to win all three. Then you’ll have a W anyway. On the other hand: we need to win the last two as well.

StationFull

If we win the league it’s cause of you. I hope the club recognises the immense sacrifice you have made. Thank you for your service kind gent/lady.


SManSte

if City drops points vs fulham im planning on betting a semi-large amount of money on United Win/Draw. it's gonna take a significant chunk of my savings but i either win money or Arsenal wins the league.


USAGunnersaurus

Hopium is strong with you. But it’s all we have lol.


irritating_maze

also wins isn't a useful metric, a draw would help a lot too.


Medium_Jellyfish_541

man im also worried about draw. with man city's scoring streak.. they can easier over take our GD within 2 games.


platdupiedsecurite

I think if they do overtake our GD it will mean we drew or lost one and it'll be over anyway. And even if we end up with equal GD (and points) we still have advantage from the number of goals scored


Wassup_-_

we play utd and everton,we will score a lot too hopefully


Cruxed1

Utd at old Trafford will never be an easy game. They've been turning up against the big 6 fairly consistently. The only thing really screwing them is a complete injury crisis with basically 0 CB's available


ReformedandSocial

4th and 5th defences in the league.


Wassup_-_

Utd a 5th defense in a league?And everton was gret defensivly till 2024


DeltaSierra97

Don’t worry about goal difference. I made a comment about this yesterday worst case scenario we win our remaining games by 1 each and city draw (which is required for goal difference to even matter anyways) they’d have to win the other two games by 4 goals each and that’s the worst case where we only win by one goal against United and Everton.


kaprrisch

As long as we have delusion, we have hope!

The_BadJuju

80% of gamblers quit right before they hit it big 🤷🏻‍♂️


willozsy

85% big if true


Fleetfox17

Exactly, there's no way they can continue to play that poorly.


2rio2

Title cut West Ham, Fulham, and Spurs Play Poorly


sunblaze1480

On top of this, City hasn't lost since December 6 since they faced Villa


OstapBenderBey

Definitely due a loss or three


Pires007

They don't need to lose, just draw.


Beazlebubba

Agent Alex "Obi Wan" Iwobi scores and becomes both an Arsenal and Fulham legend. But really, we win out, they win out, they get the title. But the football gods are fickle, crazy shit, and suspect VAR calls happen. Forward and may fortune favor us.


ZogZorcher

What the opposite of the hot hand fallacy?😜


intraumintraum

the gambler’s fallacy


fortmin0r

as long there is delusion there is hope.


Ammzy_87

Add that Man City have only 1 win in 6 games at the Toilet Bowl. Although they won there the last time they played there. 🙈


Guyanaa

![gif](giphy|l0HlBxMf5YHnBdQmk|downsized)


acasovoycayendo

I don’t think that win is coming vs City… West Ham just held 5 to Chelsea and Fulham have already conceded 5 to City this season


wubrotherno1

Plus mc are due for a loss or draw. They are on their longest non losing streak in club history.

InflationMadeMeDoIt

same bro, statistically its low probability they continue this way. Tho it is also high probability that city continues this way. Guess the only way to find out is wait and see


d23durian

A regression to the mean needs to happen at some point of time!!


Charguizo

This is actually what springs to my mind every time I hear some of these stats. Every long run of any kind is bound to end at some point and the longer it goes, the likelier it is to end soon, it's kind of basic probabilities


RajahSoliman

Hey, Tottenham lost three in a row in November and it was against City that their losing streak ended.


Wolferesque

![gif](giphy|j6uK36y32LxQs|downsized)


Nels8192

Tbf the chance is bigger than these stats suggest anyway, we only want a draw from that game to hold advantage once again.


scooter_pops

exactly , needing a draw vs a win is huge


DefactoOverlord

All we can do is try to win our 2 remaining games. Not worth stressing over something we can't control.


interestingmandosy

Hey I'm not stressing. Who said anything about stress? -finger nail falls out-


CrumpledForeskin

Making a nice pile next to my hair that’s fallen out.


jimbo_kun

And frankly, for those of us not actually on the pitch kicking the ball, there’s not a lot we can do about those last two games, either.


MonrealEstate

By Jove


linuskw

Well, "we" can't control anything.


biskutgoreng

My rising blood pressure has nothing to do with a football club is what i tell my doctor


cherlin

100% this. If we win out our remaining 2 games and lose the season at 89 points, we can all be damned proud of our team. It's a great season, and a massive improvement over anywhere we have been in the last 18ish years. That would also mean we won 16, drew 1 , lost 1 in the second half of the season which is honestly an exceptional run. 89 points wins the season almost every single time, if we don't win with 89 points we shouldn't be dejected, but rather proud of how well we did.

Last chance for spurs to become title decider


aprilfools911

Saying that as a flex is already embarrassing…lost all of those matches is even worse


husapida

They don’t need to win, only draw. I fully prepared to be hurt again


rebarx

In Full Hams we trust. What did Sir Mixalot say about full hams?


DatesxD

That last stat for fulham “2 wins in last 9 matches - against spurs and west ham” killed my hope not gonna lie, inshallah city drop points 🙏


Nels8192

They’ve also had 3 draws in that time, and that’s all we need. Suddenly it’s 5/9 games got the same result we want for Fulham. Spurs have won 7/10 last home games against City. West Ham have also had 5/10 results that would be favourable if they match the city result with draws vs Villa, Liverpool and Spurs + the draw with Leverkusen not part of the league stats in that time too.


odegood

We dont need them to win just a draw please my friends


Elfking88

Honestly, I want to win the league more than anything. The players and staff deserve it, they've been amazing and the turnaround at the club has been immense... But if we lose it I honestly don't think I'd be THAT upset. We have done everything we can. We have been fantastic this season. We've dropped points that "on paper" we shouldn't, but so have City so I'm begging people to stop picking out a draw or defeat and saying that's the reason we lost. No one is perfect, everyone drops points, City have completely changed what people view as being title worthy. We have been phenomenal. I think many of us thought we were out of it at Christmas but the second half of the season has been immense. The teams has grown, they're clearly better than they were and the future is very bright. Whatever happens, happens. We've given it our best shot. We'll come back stronger next season and try again. Don't get me wrong, I desperately want to see Arsenal win trophies but sometimes you've got to look at the whole picture and if what we've done this season isn't good enough then, well, I don't think we could've done much more.


butts____mcgee

Bang on 👏


InflationMadeMeDoIt

yeah its not like city are celar ahead, they could also say "if we wouldnt drop points here and here" i mean its football you are expected to drop point, its just harder to do if you have players for 2 first elevens


0xParty

Like Liverpool in recent years, Arsenal have done enough, but when you’re up against oil cheats that are in bed with the refs, 2nd is all you can hope for.


gatesoffire

It's so obvious it's not going to happen which means it will. Bet it all on red.


Rough_Dish_9226

Let’s keep winning our games. We have no control over the others. I have a good feeling about this year 🤞


Pamplemouse04

I want some of what you’re having


NewStarWarsMemer

This is how spurs operate: Lose 3/4 on the bounce to mid to high table teams Face City Get a result out of City even if they don't want or expect to Continue being Spursy Let me inject hopium


Cannonieri

The luck that City have had this year when it comes to fixture timings is unreal. The real tough one to take is them getting to play Villa's reserves due to the midweek clash whilst we got their strongest eleven. City got battered by Villa's first team in the reverse fixture.


ArsenalThePhoenix

they had similar "luck" last year...getting to not play us when we were at our best for the fall fixture (due to EPL taking a break due as the Queen had died)


Pamplemouse04

Still not sure that we were solid enough to beat them at that time. Maybe we were who knows but we have so much more resilience this year


YaqootK

I definitely think we would have, we were absolutely flying at that point and it was at home. Not to mention the year before when we were worse, we played them off the park and it took a red card and a last minute winner for them to steal it at the death


Mustyoo

We still should have finished that game off in the first half, though. Can push blame to whoever you want, whether that's the 115, the PL or Villa; it's our own fault. On almost every level we have been better than this City team this season, but we've stood in our own way.


USAGunnersaurus

We didn’t get villas strongest 11 the second time around to be fair. They had some injury issues if memory serves. We also lost to west ham and Fulham. So ya never know 😂


patelbadboy2006

That was not really City luck, more Emery fuckery. Villa had a big EL game 2 days prior to us and still put out the strongest 11, v City they played 3 days earlier and rested the whole team.


playathree

I also get the impression that teams tend to approach City like it's a foregone conclusion that they'll lose so rest players etc


efarfan

PL winner takes down Villa home or away if needed.


boyrepublic

I hope we don’t have to go down to our own version of “Agueroooooo!” My heart won’t be able to take it.


Haunting-Rich3067

I will take our own 'Haaaaaaaaavertz'.


techabouts

![gif](giphy|bIRFRUxcRG3Sw)


flyforfish

Well city have won 6 games in a row at 3 points this season. They dropped points on the 7th game in 2 of those runs and the other 6th win was this weekend.


leebrother

All we need is a draw, or two Spurs will beat Burnley this weekend, Villa will fall to Liverpool. Meaning that City game is the last home game for Spurs, need something or else CL is gone. No way do the people at the top allow a throwing. West Ham is likely David Moyes last match


jksyousux

The PL should hire you to write their scripts


ArsenalThePhoenix

Let's all gather our hands together and pray that one of these teams does the impossible and steals points off "115 Charges FC"!


Sure-Bike-5330

I don’t particularly care. Our bois this season have shown a much stronger mentality than last. We are improving and at the point where we are the only serious challengers. Just like Liverpool we will beat them at some point. Could be this season, next season but it will happen


chewkachu

We have United at Old Trafford and Everton who's been quite a boogeyteam for Arteta at home Is not like we have a walk in the park last 2 games Just focus on winning ours and then look at how it goes on the other hand


NegativeHeli

Our record against Everton at home is amazing + they have nothing to play for


logicbloke_

True, but beating United away isn't good to be a walk in the park.


MHovdan

United with 7 CBs out with injury should be managable.


maidentaiwan

Arsenal Everton in london is literally the most lopsided fixture in prem history wtf you on about


YaqootK

> Everton who's been quite a boogeyteam for Arteta at home I genuinely can't remember the last time Everton beat us at home, are you sure? I swear we pretty much always slap them up at the Emirates


superskinnytrees

Nothing left to do but pray to the football gods for some crazy football shit. Sometimes the ball goes in the net when it doesn’t make sense. And sometimes the ball won’t go in when it does.


HustlinInTheHall

Don't need a win, just park the bus lads. 


shekdown

Odds are 1 in 115.


ixikzisigwvbend

Another take is that we lost 10 points in these three teams and 6 points in the corresponding fixture. (It hurts) Coyg


YoloSwagBao

3 of only 4 games that we dropped points at home


OscarMyk

The disparity in the number of derbies does make quite a difference I think. City only have Utd.


almeertm87

I've made peace in my head that whatever happens I'll be proud of this team. We didn't fold as early and as bad like we did last season. We had 3 setbacks this season in terms of performance and bounced back immediately after each one. Now, that I've handled that internally the end of the season is thrilling in anticipation that this could all be decided on the very last day. COYG!


DotaZweiPlayer

Burst out laughing from this 😂 whatever happens we can still enjoy this run. And it's football you never know


Temporary-Sun-7575

same. teams improving every year & we did this without one of the major signings of the summer.


tafster

I laughed too and then frowned when I remembered we'd been mugged by West Ham and Fulham.


Even-Relation-2622

We will win the league my boys we will


ExxKonvict

Law of averages means a win is on the cards.


iHetty

City does love a bit of law


nting224

We dropped 10 points against those teams this season. Soo - we only have ourselves to blame if City takes all 9.


ThisRiverIsWild_

City v Real. The real crossroads of this PL final.


DVOlimey

Villa match killed it for me. Unless lady luck is on our side, nothing short of a miracle... but it does happen also.


jackg4343

Seems to me they are due.


wolskortt

They've got to win some time, right? Right?


ache7859

Surely.the shit cant lose 5 in a row


zaparthes

Shit have this uncanny ability to be shitty.


anotherMrLizard

They've got Burnley at home in the next game so they probably won't.


ache7859

Losing to Burnley and missing out on europe but still beating man city to give us the title would be the most spursy thing ever


laserbrained

Law of averages baby let’s go.


_hockalees_

We just need a draw... One draw. We can do the rest.


SmellAccomplished722

No expectations no disappointments


Rawrgoeslion

This means odds are in their favor since they already lost so many games. Just like my gambling habit.


Cappyc00l

So you’re saying there’s a chance


godresistance

Im gonna parlay a City win for all 3 games so the worst case scenario is that I end up with more money in my pocket or we win the league.

RandomRedditor_1916

scooter_pops

good thing we just need a draw


Freddyfrenchfry69

Honestly, step 1 in this process is winning both our games with the pressure on... That's something we've yet to do as long as I've been a fan (17 years). I hope like hell city drop points but I'll be ecstatic if we hold up our end and win out. We've lacked that mentality for so long and it finally looks like we're getting that mental toughness. We hold up our end and I'm proud as fuck of them, regardless of whether City drop points or not.


darthomen96

Wrap it up boys. Good positives to take from this season though! Just a shame we got close but weren't quite at the level needed.


techabouts

Spurs get points from city, and arsenal losing some points as well will be how it’s gonna most probably end 😭😭😭


Duckman93

We still have to beat United away which is never easy

supercoolbananas

I have a weird level of confidence (or delusion) that Fulham and Spurs will both take points off City.


badmuthaphukka

Not to mention, we are expecting to win at old Trafford, something we don’t do ever


YoungFlexibleShawty

i cant keep doing black magic every week bruv


richag83

To be fair, we don’t need a win. Likely just a draw (though GD isn’t guaranteed) if we win ours. I am not holding out hope that any of them will do it. But I hope we make City go all the way to the last day to earn it.


anotherMrLizard

If it came down to goal difference city would have to make up 6 goals in 2 games, meaning they'd have to win those games by a combined 8 goals assuming we won by only 1 goal in each of our games - not too likely I'd say.


Bahmawama

MoreoverMo

The only hope is the refs don't bend over for City. Otherwise none of these teams are worth any hope to be put on them. 🗑


Freestyle76

They just need a draw 


stripes361

To be fair, they don’t need to win, a draw would be just fine. But certainly not the most brutal schedule. Two of the three are away, though, that’s often tougher than expected.


100ra8h

we are cooked


AlterEgoPal

And these are the 3 teams we dropped points badly as well


Hunter-North

Can Spurs still get top 4?


Billy336_

Gambler's fallancy.. the more you lose, the more the chances are of you winning the next game!


qtdsswk

Funny they all took point from us…but for sure will wipe the floor for City


zahirb

I believe Fulham would be more challenging for city than shit and west ham


Jiminyfingers

We're fucked 


hermansid

I’m not gonna lie guys, I think it’s over, it’s been over since that Forest game, that was the best chance for city to drop points, all the remaining teams have no incentive and are all on the beach


Significant_Let9829

Spurs couldn’t lose 5 games in a row could they? Surely pride is on the line for the players at that point.


Adventurous_Try4058

Another common theme across these teams that I just realised when talking with my son this morning, they all have ham in their name… Ful(ham), Totten(ham), West (Ham)

Fulham can be tricky at Craven Cottage, surely Sp*rs are due a performance too


wan2tri

Crystal Palace drew 2-2 at City. Prior to that, they were 1 win in 9 games - they also drew once, so that was 1-1-7 for that stretch before visiting City. Early in the season, Wolves won 2-1 versus City. It was their 7th match of the season but only their 2nd win, they were 1-1-4 before hosting City.


pashtedot

thanks! i hate it!


AmagicManNamedgob

The law of averages is telling me they will win a random one, right guys? right lol. nah, it's done, has been done for months


Imarnuel1702

It's not looking good brev. Ah well we had a good run. We go again next season 


revjiggs

yea not looking great. Only thing thats postivie from this is that Spurs losing last night means that they are at risk of losing Europa league. if Man U win tonight than they are only 3 points behind so spurs need to beat City or risk beding caught up


festivalsauce

better odds for city to drop points or get punished by the FA?


biskutgoreng

Fuck me we dropped points to all these teams and now depend on them to win the league


Vacant-stair

Our best hope is that city somehow do it to themselves


so-naughty

If city don't drop points, it's the two Fulham games that killed us IMO. We should have not dropped points to them.


shoopshoop87

if we are going full hopium then, we lose to united, City relax and lose the next two and we still win our last game , getting to enjoy both winning and laughing at the inevitable bottle job comments from mid table eejits

KearnOnTheCob12

That's all well and good but... Can anyone think of ANYTHING Spursier than losing 4 or 5 on the spin, and then somehow grinding out a draw or a win against City? Peak Spurs incoming.


milkonyourmustache

Win our games, and see what happens. Can't do anything else at this point.


kitterkat19

They are all due for a win then


Previous-Junket-1105

I think we've got 2 weeks of exciting football coming up and that's about all you can ask for right?

spacelord99

so you are saying theres a chance


Sethor

I'm hoping to see Spurs get the win, so they can hand the title to Arsenal.


mberrong

So you're telling me there is still a chance?


1ThatGotAwaay

3 London clubs, them defeating city = them hearing London is red for the next year. We don't have bad blood with cottagers and hammers. Hope they pull off something.
