Premier League Games | 8/9 November '25

[bridgeno1]

Haven’t you played us…?

Yes.

 

[eastmanc]

Pep’s Barça, Enrique’s Barça, Zidane’s Madrid, Flick’s Bayern… that’s it for me, nobody else.

That is a very high bar.

 

[Postman Pep]

If we are 6 clear on the 18th April at 5pm then no chance

As if that game will be a Saturday 3pm kick off ..... bookmarked anyway :

 

[Sky Blue]

Yep Sunderland were the best team we've played by far this season. Fair play to them.

Another dig. Definite signs of cracking.

 

[balotellishaircut]

City are lucking out a bit as they go to S O L on New Year's Day when many Sunderland players are at AFCON so you'll walk that. Dippers go there early Feb so Sunderland will have those players back.

Come off it, you know from today there’s no easy games in this league, we won’t be walking any game let alone Sunderland away, your team is in a fantastic position to win the league, but the mind can play tricks with teams, we’ve seen teams throw away so many titles.

Another dig. Definite signs of cracking.

It’s too funny

 

[Danny Tiatto]

He is correct, they don't look like they will drop many points, or at least lose games.
They are so physically strong, they do have injuries and goal scoring from open play will be an issue ,until they get some players back.
Great finish to get a point for a very well drilled Sunderland side, probably scored from only 2 opportunities, and that is great for us.

Let’s see how they handle a bit of pressure shall we. This obsession with judging teams after 10 matches is crazy

 

[bluemoon32]

And won't a couple of ours - Mooshy and Alt Nouri be at Afcon too?

We'll cope just fine without those two

 

[deano ou812]

i seem to remember going to sunderland on new years day was it in 2012 or so and some chinese fella won it in the last minute

Korean fella,wonder if they have any in their squad..

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Who is Jackson Tchatchoua? Sounds like a FM regen name.

Wolves are making up names. Didn’t they have Agbadou sent off last week for pushing the pineapple too far?

You really don't do yourself any favours on here at times, throwing out accusations about us being lucky. Try to remember, you're a guest on a City forum. Having petty little digs will not be conducive to you being on here long term.

I think Sunderland will find it difficult to sustain that energy level for a lengthy period.
Excellent team set up though and only two slight individual errors lead to Arsenal goals

You're going to get tarquinated acting like that tweacal.

 

[The Mighty Marmoush]

Nonsense even if we draw tomorrow I still fancy us to catch them.

Arsenal dropping points the weekend their two main rivals face off shows a weak mentality. A true title contender gets the 3 points and then sits back and watches the other two challengers tear each other apart.

Now both City and Liverpool even if tomorrow ends in a draw will fancy their chances of reeling them in and if one of the teams wins it their confidence and momentum will ski rocket.

That was a really bad time to drop points for Arsenal

Flip side it, we know the result, so like you said as title contenders we should get the 3 points and then sit back and see how they react

OK should have said toughest match instead of best side as obviously I know City and Dippers are better than Sunderland.

 

[train man]

They do have Odegaard, Gyokeres, Madueke, Jesus, Havertz and Martinelli out.

Most of those are due back after this international break and they’ll probably start scoring again after that.

Not sure, looks a list of big misses but I read arse only had 6 goals from open play before today(?) so perhaps this lot haven't been so influential...

 

[asahartford1]

So we can't judge any team after 10 games.
Seems we have plenty of threads judging City.
I think after watching 3 months of football I can assess the teams. I cannot see the future though

 

[skillman]

Ooooh defensive comments after dropped points.

A bit early to wobble even for you, Bridgey.

And let’s have it right, this is what having the best, deepest squad in the league is for.

Didn’t expect such animosity so quickly from the resident tarquin. That same CDM as a striker that the same fans were raving over last season, by the way. Hailed as a masterstroke.

Put Saka there. Or Eze there. Or Trossard.

We won a league without a recognised 9. And romped it.

Beautiful to see.

 

[waspish]

Sunderland manager should of come out and said we face 8/10 teams like this with these tactics in championship so we used to it!

 

[paulchapo]

If we draw tomorrow they'll rightly see it as a good result. The good thing is even if we lose it's still only seven points.
