Aye but I don’t expect Mourinho to sit down and watch this Pep team without a fight. It will galvanise him. There’s no way he’s going to let everything fall to pieces here after his recent reputation hit at Chelsea. We’ve just got to hope Woodward and the Glazers are prepared to back him all the way.
Manchester City 17/18 discussion | "If you're here for the Champions clap your hands" (#6505)
- Thread starter simonhch
- Start date
I suppose it depends on the successor.
tired of city and their champagne football. Just feck off.
Is it? We can counter like that, just in a different way. We win the ball and then counter, whereas City play the ball from the back and use the opposition's pressing against them.
Regardless of his successor, Ibra, Mkhi, (Ozil, Perisic and Bale) type signings would have been leaving their prime when the next person comes in and need replacement
We are second but 14 points off pace.
Loathe them with an undying passion that simply cannot be sated.
Just feck off City.
Just feck off City.
city are just too good
I hate city but can’t help but admire their game. They are fecking brilliant isn’t it? I don’t think the league has seen a team like this since years.
There is no catching them this season. Sadly.

How are they so fit?
Think we've got to accept this league is gone.
Tbh I have zero respect for the way City have got their success. With their lottery win, it's like a drug-taking athlete winning the 100 metres on a motorbike. Sure I'm not alone in thinking this.
That said, hopefully it'll act as a spur for the rest of the league to improve. United have to nail their transfer targets this summer and get the players we need. And we can't afford to park the bus anymore, which must be a good thing.

It's not this season that worries me.
How do we catch up?

Hoping for doping
We could have the best players but we'll still play the same shit since of who we have as our manager.
Sadly, the one person I would have wanted to replace him now coaches City.
Football moves in cycles. Grow a set of balls and dig in there. Nothing lasts forever.
I don't hate them, just find it impossible to respect what they've done.
They were a byword for shambolic mis-management and they won the lottery, first with getting a free stadium and then with a foreign owner swooping down and giving them unlimited money. And I'm sure the Emiratis picked them because of their proximity to United!
That said, growing up in Manchester I've got a lot of mates who are City fans and they are realistic about how they got their success. They don't tend to rub it in - although I'm sure there are other City fans who do - and I don't begrudge them this amazing team.

The fog in the stadium isn't really fog. It's a secret concoction in an aerosol form, created by Pep's secret medical staff that works only on City's players because they injected themselves beforehand with a drug(passes undetected in drug screenings) that activates the drug cocktail present in the fog.
Am I doing this right?
He won't be there long mate. If he only stayed five years at his home club, one of the biggest in the world, don't think he'll stay any longer at City.
We need to worry about the here and now, not a successor that could be seen in 1 year or 5 years.
Jose is signing players who should be able to help him now.
Regardless, Bailly, Pogba and Lindelof all have their best years ahead of them. Our attack was needed reinvigorating now, and he has signed/targetted players in their prime. Okay Mikhi hasn't worked out
Also, you've conveniently left Lukaku out of your list because he didn't fit your argument.
the chances Sterling has missed and he still has 2 goals!I kinda prefer watching City to United this season. They're just too good.
I won't begrudge them their title this season. They play football the way it should be played. It's a pleasure to watch.

Jose's best bet is to drive him insane and make him want another year out of football
Grow up.
I think at one point Qatar is going to give him a billion to manage PSG. Only half joking too.
Every season works on it's own.
Are you sure you actually support United?
They play some sensational football. feckers.
You are taking the piss, right?
Yeah wouldn't be surprised.
If their form continues, this could be one of the best squads ever in our league. It's so incredible that Pep has managed to fix everything that was wrong with City in such a short period of time.
I hate watching them as it reminds me how fecking shit our managers style of play is.
I know. Thanks.
The best team fossil fuels can buy
To be fair if we're successful you could say we've bought titles as well. Spent huge the last couple of years (without gaining from it, really).
16 wins...
Yeah. I just also like to watch sensationally good football.
Yeah but at least we're spending our own money. The Glazers' commercialism may be crass at times (Mr Potato springs to mind) but at least we're not being given the money by a sugardaddy.
I don’t know how you could enjoy watching one of our biggest rivals win all the time. It’s completely bizarre.
The bitterness is so amusing to read as someone who's learning not to take anything serious anymore
But all this talk of legacy, and "best squad ever", some of you do remember they haven't even dominated for a full season yet, right?
