For those gluttons of disappointment,  just another 37 occasions to go of hoping teams turn up against Manchester City this season.

Tottenham will as they always seem to.

 

We will.

 

They'll suffer 1 surprise defeat somewhere and that is about it.

 

It's as predictable as it is depressing.

 

The cheating cunts.

Grealish is so shite. Where did he garner the reputation of being anything other than ordinary?

 

He stood out in an ordinary Villa side. Now he's just another cog in the efficient, joyless machine that is Manchester City.

Ridiculous as it is, there’s a good chance that’s the title done and dusted, such is the absurd level of perfection required to combat their cheating. From 17/18 onwards, the only time they’ve been ahead of us at any point and failed to win the league was 19/20, where they were top on goal difference after the first game.

I reckon we had a maximum of 20 pts we could drop to be in with a shout this season.

 

2 of them going in opening game leaves a mere 18...and that "only" gets us to 94 (mad isn't it)

 

We almost certainly will need to be at that level - as insane as it sounds and is - but that is about the size of it.

 

It is fucking crazy we have to look at it like this, but IMHO it is reality - as sad as it is and as mad as it is.

City fans may enjoy the result and 4 or 5 moments in a game but that's it. The rest must be as boring for them as it is every one else. Reminds me of Serie A in the 90s when Channel 4 had it, most games without Milan where boring as fuck.

I think the problem is the psychological aspect. 19/20, we crushed City’s spirit by getting off to an astonishing start and they simply couldn’t catch up - that’s literally the only thing that has beaten them in the last six years.

 

Falling behind and then going on an outstanding run is never going to be good enough, because they always have that little bit of leeway and simply won’t fail to do enough to get over the line. Last season, for instance - Yeah, we did well to almost catch them, but it was never going to be enough because from that point onwards, they weren’t going to allow themselves to drop any more points until there was a buffer.
