That’s part of the cheating.

 

They don’t really have a first eleven, they have 20+ players they cycle over a season.

 

Saw somewhere that their ‘big’ players play around a third less minutes over the course of a season than us/Arse.

 

That’s a massive competitive advantage that shit squawking shitcunt cheat doesn’t reference when he’s pleading poverty.

The injuries list includes all the rota of those on Pep's PED's.

and it kept him out of the hands of their rivals. i think that is far more the reason than anything to do with his contribution for them. 


I guess him being the son of a former City captain, and his personal hunger for glory had something to do with it.

 

That said, I think it was more Haaland picking City than the other way around.

The gap will be down to 5 points this time next week and all the press will be lauding that baldy cunt again.

The way the fixture list is until way after Christmas the table could look completely different to how it looks now. It's mad. Weve bought ourselves a bit of slack that is all. Performance needs to improve, we need to be better at actually creating chances rather than waiting for a fuck up and I need to stop nit picking.

Yeah, in the same way we had a terrible run the backend of last season, city and arsenal have had one recently. We've had a few years were one bad run would ruin your season. It doesn't feel anyone else is at that level. And as we're the same squad as last season, there's no reason to think we haven't got a bad spell in us. All we can do is get 3 points every week and hope we break the back of the others before our spell comes.

Yeah, at this stage of the season I'm looking at the points gap as the buffer we will need when things get tougher.

They spent £100m on the Brummie twat Grealish yet he's never really been much more than a squad player!

Agreed.

 

We have a nasty looking few weeks ahead. City and United at home. Spurs, Newcastle, Everton (always horrible no matter how shite they are) and West Ham away. I'm not saying Fulham and Leicester at home should be taken lightly but that's six tough ones before Forest and Brentford away, which won't be easy either. 

 

We win this weekend and it may become like 19/20 all over again. City could win 19 in a row but 11 points plus a superior goal difference is huge and basically allows us four defeats. I don't see them doing what they have done previously because they clearly need fresh legs in there and their teams from previous title wins (i know i know) were absolutely magnificent. I do think 84 wins it this year and with a bit of luck maybe less. 

 

Arsenal are very good and a threat, but they have won fuck all. Would be incredible if West Ham could do a number on them this weekend and burst their feel good factor from the weekend. Likewise, Chelsea look dangerous, but fingers crossed Villa take points off them. Spurs are Spurs. The others aren't winning the league.

 

A lot of luck, whether it's injuries on our end and teams we play. I see the spurs goalie has had surgery and I'd imagine is out for our game. They're the little breaks we need.

 

Let's not forget we have Ali, Trent, Jota and Elliott back soon. Fresh legs at a very tough part of the season.

Someone on here was defending what City bring to the league financially. I just heard this morning that next PL TV deal for Asia/Pacific has increased by £1.2bn. Thats with knowing they might not be part of it, that shows nobody cares about them and they will missed about as much as Bolton are.

Yeah, we had a pretty easy start, so it's not a shock it's been harder recently. With the exception of forest, for one reason or another, you feel we got teams at good times. That might not be ahead. City can't keep losing, they just have too many good players. Spurs are showing they can beat anyone. West Ham seem to have turned the corner. Newcastle are hit and miss, so who knows. The derby I don't think it matters, it's always tough and this is the last wooden derby, so they will be fucking wild. But we've shown we are more than capable in the tougher games. In fact I don't think we are playing any worse or looking in more danger against good teams as we are the supposed poorer sides. For me I am feeling it might be less about who we play, rather than if we don't do enough scoring (like forest) to mask our mediocre all round performance. 

 

You think 84 points? I don't think that. I don't think Arsenal are done - in the reverse to us, they have a great run of games and are good flat track bullies. Maybe City will give up (like 19/20), it must be hard to keep that level of motivation after so many PL wins. 

 

Elliot will be a bonus off the bench. I am not arsed about Jota being back, he'll just be injured again in a couple of weeks, as soon as we need him. Trent is a clear plus - but I expect our fans to give him a hard time if he's not signed up soon, he takes a lot of shit as it is, including in the ground. And Ali - I think we need him. Kelleher has done decent. I thought he should have done better with the goal from open play last week and I think we are starting to look less organised the longer he's there. But how long will he stay fit?

Just reading John Williams’s latest book, “Football in Wind and Rain”. Citeh won promotion to the old first division in 1903 and the FA Cup the following year. Asked how this was possible their star player is quoted as saying, “the fact that the Club put aside the rule that no player should receive more than £4 a week”.

 

Cheating is in the blood it would seem.
