Other Football - 2018/19 Season

[Captain]

Man City are vastly superior to Man United, the only thing giving me hope is the fact that it's a derby and that it's at Old Trafford. If Man City win that one, they'll win the league.

 

Man U desperately need the points themselves. If they didn't, it would be a foregone conclusion.

I'm not pinning any hopes on the Mancs, they're not playing particularly well and I think that their fans would prefer City to win this over us. I have the unfortunate 'pleasure' to work with a number of them and to a man they'd prefer to lose to City on Wednesday and drop into the Europa than beat them and possibly hand us the chance to win the league. There is absolutely no doubt in their minds. So in spite of them being their city rivals, in spite of City being financially doped up cheats, their vitriol for, and rivalry with, us transcends all of that. If what I hear them say is typcial of their wider fan base then the atmosphere in that stadium on Wednesday will not be a typical derby one and I wonder just how much the players will want it. Like some others here any hopes we have of City losing points will be against lesser teams who hopefully will be playing for pride rather than thinking about their summer holidays!

 

We just have to look after our own business. If City drop points, then great, but if not, then we'll set records for a second place finishing team in the league that may possibly never be broken!

How the mighty have fallen. Embarrassing, really embarrassing.

Fuck the Manchester Derby, lets just concentrate on our game tomorrow.

[A_S]

That Perez 'loser' scores. 

[Anubis]

Barcodes one up against Saints. Thoroughly deserved.

Exactly that! I can't believe I'm hearing it, but maybe it's a fear that if we do win the league we'll have the team and the manager who could go on to win it a number of times.

Tomorrow? I worry about all our remaining games.

 

We'll need to win every single one of them if we're to stand a chance of being champions. Or do you actually believe Man City will drop points in two of their remaining games?

[Anubis]

Two nil for the Barcodes. Perez again.

I can understand them wanting City to win the league, but hoping City beat them is embarrassing. If I were a United fan, I’d have some self respect and want United to twat City, then hope Liverpool dropped points.

I expect Man City to win all of their remaining games.

Same here.  Quite sanguine about it now.  Let's just do what we can, and fuck worrying over what the Clampetts do.

I'm hopeful but not optimistic. It is what it is. I'm not watching any more of their games though, it's starting to feel like potentially watching their whole route to the league title at our expense. Fuck doing that. If they drop points, I can watch the highlights.

If we don't win tomorrow, then there's no point worrying about the games after that.

 

Love the way some forum members know how many points we're going to finish on even before all games have been played.

I think I’ve only watched three City games this season apart from our league games against them. The Chelsea game they lost, the United game, and their first game against Lyon.

[Anubis]

Southampton get one back after Barcodes had hit the inside of the post a few minutes beforehand. It’s been a decent game this.

You need to watch City more often, you have a decent record.

This could effectively go down to the last minute of the last game, if we just continue doing our business. We seem to be better with the chasing than being chased, so one game at a time.

Last time I watched Man City, Joe Royle was manager.

I agree with both points of view and don't think they're mutually exclusive.

 

We fucked up in that run of games when we lost the seven point lead.  At the same time, we're up against a team nobody could reasonably expect us to beat over 38 games with the resources they have at their disposal and the points tallies they amass season upon season.

 

I can't wait for Guardiola to fuck off out of this league. 

 

I agree, if Guardiola leaves, City will never match what they are doing now.

If Rafa finishes top half with that squad they should make him the mayor of fucking Newcastle never mind give him a new contract

[Tony Moanero]

Rafa is boss.

[Thoth]

3-1 Barcodes.. Perez again

[Jairzinho]

Get in.

[Anubis]

Perez hat-trick. Is right, Rafa lad. Newcastle pretty much safe.

Mathematically safe if we beat Cardiff tomorrow, then he owes us one
