I don't think this City team is beatable in a league season over 38 games. 

Sad thing is they probably are, teams just have to be better organised, and when they get their chances they need to be a little braver.

 

City have got that fear factor that United used to have. But Palace got at them a few weeks back, as did Southampton. Just get up there, think to yourselves I'd like to wipe that smug grin off that baldy twats face, and have a go.

City dominate almost every game. When they don't win, it's generally because teams are very clinical against them or very lucky. It's just hard for that to happen more than a few times over a 38 game season. 

 

In the Champions League, facing the best teams in Europe in one off games or ties, it's likelier teams can steal a result.

It is the way they totally strangle games that gets me.

 

We beat teams up and often heavily - more so than even them so far this season, but we don't do it without even facing a shot on or off target or facing zero corners like they do almost week in week out.

 

Its largely down to how we play a riskier style of course that is more counterable than how they play and it is also in part though down to teams just being too passive against them.

Leeds arent a good team. They probably went eyeballs out in their grudge match with chelsea at the weekend so were effectively a busted flush before they took the field against city, which, would be two hard consecutive away games even for us.

 

We faced that scenario during the festive period in 2013. Sterling was given offside when about 3 yards on at City. Eto'o was not sent off for a studs-up challenge on Hendo. Suarez was hauled down in the box and Howard "can't wait to give pens for less at Old Trafford" Webb completely ignored it. I bet Peter Walton would have sided with the ref on those anyway, the snivelling shit.
