Is our tussle with York mirroring the battle between Arsenal and City ?
City and York both have the momentum whilst Arsenal and Dale have both had a couple of draws recently.
Arsenal have a local derby coming up whilst Dale have a short trip to Halifax next week.
At least Dale are still playing well..Arsenal were dreadful for a lot of the game last night.
Dale and Arsenal still have the advantage..just a question of nerve now |  | | |  |

Comparing your own team to Arsenal is a bigger insult than anything even fans of other team can come up with.
Shame on you. |  | | |

If Arsenal had won 7 and drawn 2 of their last 9 games - like Dale have they'd be 12 points clear of City! |  |

On the theme of derbies, the Halifax one reminds me a bit like the games at Accrington these days. It’s not far and we always take a good following, but without the ‘massive occasion’ tag that the Oldham and Bury games used to have attached.
Though that’s probably being a bit unfair to Accrington as their home support outnumbers and creates a better atmosphere than seen at the Shay in recent times. |  |

Well remember a cold night in Peel Park in 1962 when the People showed a photo of Rochdale beating Accy 2-0 in front of a virtually empty stadium with the headline. "Accrington Stanley 0- Rochdale 2- and who cares?" If I remember right the crowd was under 1,000 and it was one of the last games(or maybe even the last) before they resigned from the league after 33 games.
I remember feeling cheated out of the 2 points.
Enter Robert Maxwell and Oxford United (renamed from Headington if I remember right). | | | |

Robert Maxwell wasn't involved with Oxford United until 1982!

Ah so you spotted my deliberate mistake Wilson.
Surprised you missed my other error.
The Accy/Dale match can`t have been a night match, as it was the "Sunday" People showed the picture and I was a teenager on pocket money at the time and wouldn`t be able to get there without my elder brother accompanying me after school.
However I will excuse you in this instance, though I know you are the font of all knowledge. | | | |

Long before I was born, to be fair, which 1982 wasn't.
Edit after a bit of research: The crowd was 2,727 and Accrington played two more games (away at Doncaster and Crewe) before resigning from the league. [Post edited 19 Feb 17:07]

No problem, and like I said, a bit of research is often useful to ascertain the facts. [Post edited 19 Feb 17:23]

Update: looks like Arsenal will beat Spurs, so it's back in their hands
With Dale, it's been "in our hands" for quite some time, and we've withstood the inherent pressure of that admirably... so far
In the discussion about respective managerial acheivements earlier today, when it was mooted that Hill's first promotion was possibly the greater acheivement of all, it shouldn't be forgotten how his team caved towards the end after being several points clear at the top. On reflection therefore, if McNulty can keep us on course and finish on top , it should count as the most accomplished campaign [Post edited 22 Feb 18:10]

Because city and Arsenal still have to play each other its in both of their hands…if either team win out the title is theirs…same for the Dale.
Cant see that happening so the more realistic challenge for Dale is dont drop more points than York.
Lets remember game of the season could be the last game…Dale v Minstermen. | | | |

I've used the phrase "let's not forget" (or similar) twice today
I suspect your use of it, on this occasion, is redundant [Post edited 22 Feb 21:50]
