He's shit, move on.
cITEH will win the league this season. Get used to it now and it will be easier to swalow when they have it wrapped up at the end of April
That's just media crap (individually all their players and manager are very experienced) - the big difference is that they've been playing good teams.Yeah, that wasn't my point, more the fact that in Europe they've not looked as assured as in the league. Getting into the rythm of european football is an excercise in gaining experience IMO, most teams struggle in their first attempt at European football.
I hope you're right, Pete, I really do. They dispatched us with some ease though.That's just media crap (individually all their players and manager are very experienced) - the big difference is that they've been playing good teams.
So they've been crap then right ?That's just media crap (individually all their players and manager are very experienced) - the big difference is that they've been playing good teams.
With one man advantage. Honestly watch their game against bayern to see how they faired against one of the very best teams, they were compeletely outplayed. Bayern did to them what they do to teams in the league.I hope you're right, Pete, I really do. They dispatched us with some ease though.
Quite. People are quick to forget how dominant we were for the first half hour of that match.With one man advantage.
That match was not an indicator of how we stand up to them. Just like the 8-2 isnt really the difference between us and Arsenal. Those are just 1 off freal games. The 1st half was very even in the derby with us slightly the better team imo. City are really good this season, no doubt. But, they are far from certs for any trophy as yet. Good as they are, not getting through the CL group stages might be disastrous for them i feel. Europa league isnt the best cup to be in when you have title ambitions.I hope you're right, Pete, I really do. They dispatched us with some ease though.
Good work PS. I thought our infamous 85-86 season would be one of them.Spurs won 11 from 12 and won the league in 1961. Both Man Utd 1986 and Liverpool 1991 blew it after the same start.
I didn't say they were crap nor do I have an agenda, I just watch games of football. Last three I've seen:So they've been crap then right ?
Fk me mate when you have an agenda you sure as hell stick to it like shit.
Really?TBH i expect us to drop only two points (Arsenal away) from these fixtures.
I do agree with that we will have some tricky away fixtures, those enlisted by you (Wolves, Fulham QPR) will be very hard. But I think we will try to emulate the 2008/2009 form. We will get a series of dull 1-0's which is good enough form me.Really?
Wolves is always a very very tough game for us even at OT, Fulham away likewise. QPR sandwiched in the middle is a bit of an unknown but I can remember us not fairing too well at Loftus Road when Fulham were playing there
In terms of City's fixtures I cant see Chelsea losing another big game at Stamford Bridge, they may not be convincing at the moment but another defeat at home to another title challenger will surely mean the end of AVB. As for Arsenal at home who knows Arsenal are just as likely to be battered 5-0 as they are actually going there and winning imo

And 5 of them are against European opposition, something EVERY English team has struggled with when a period of domination begins.I thought 7 games, one live, was quite a lot. How many have you seen?
Actually that's not what I said whatsoeverTottenham have had Newcastle, Arsenal, Liverpool, City and Us but have had favourable fixtures? That only leaves Chelsea of the top 7.
Actually that's not what I said whatsoever
?.For those mentioning Spurs as possible challengers I think like City they've been very fortunate with their fixtures in fact look at the fixtures both have had....
..Look at that run for Tottenham in recent weeks though, it's really no wonder they've climbed the table the way they have us on the other hand where have our easy batch of fixtures been?
Spurs on the other hand had a tough start but have now had 6 games on the spin which has helped them rise up the table. City have just had a very nice fixture list altogether
Marked.By January 1st we'll be top of the league.
My words.... mark them.
Where do you see the turn around happening? Any games you're sure City will slip up in?By January 1st we'll be top of the league.
My words.... mark them.
You're right in that it can catch up with you eventually, but you're neglecting other factors like the momentum a team gets from a set of win-able fixtures.Stopping this E-fight, I agree, Spurs have had easy games in recent weeks which have helped them climb the table. But the reason they have had all these easy fixtures is because they played Newcastle, Arsenal, Liverpool, City and Us already. Aside from Chelsea, there is no one left for them to be fearful of until the second half of the season. They played their hard games and now they have their easy ones.
I don't see how grouping easy and difficult games together is "fortunate". Look at Newcastle, 1 lucky point from the last 3 games. Ideally you would probably want a hard game followed by an easy one, followed by a hard one. At least if you didn't have Europe to worry about too.
Personally, I think a lot of people just want to reconcile themselves to the thought of City lifting the trophy if/when it does eventually happen.Some of you are utter fannies, City are looking unbeatable at the moment in the league but things can change so quickly. To concede the league in early December, even if you have looked quite poor this season, is ridiculous. They will falter at some point this season, they will lose at some point, they will start feeling the pressure. Isn't this your best start to a league season for years?
I agree, your run has not been easy, but you've collected 31 points from 33 and it's pretty fair/realistic to expect this record to level out as the season progresses.Still don't see how our run has been easy to be honest. We've played more games away then home, played every other member of the top 7 other than Chelsea. The Hawthorns, Craven Cottage and Molineux being described as easy grounds is baffling, considering how shit we've done at those grounds in recent history.
