Fulham are on the beach, and they truly couldn’t give two fooks if it’s cricket score today…. We are going to have to hand out a kicking or two in the next five games.

Very much doubt that. Fulham are chasing a European slot

 

[Colin Bells Boots]

Arteta done pretty well with his selection here. Properly went for it when he needed to.

More likely somebody else picked it for him.

lol I read your reply only after I posted my 2nd comment

Thread full of people who seemingly have no recollection of previous title run ins. They can’t be reasoned with, leave em to it

You’re right.

On that note I’m going to watch the second half and have the brains to realise it’s a title race, which we are more than in with a shout in, and know how to get it over the line.

For the towel throwers? Stay clear of Denasgate in a few weeks. Those kind of celebrations aren’t for your delicate souls.

I understand the need for semi-calmness but surely seeing this and the fixtures they’ve got left compared to us, people are wondering why people are suggesting league is done. I would of rather they won in march and be pushed all the way then to lose it near the end

Yeah they bottled it back then, let us back in it umpteen times! Looks like now they’ve woken up and ramming it home! Something they should have done months ago! We still In it to we are not

 

[Gordyola]

Someone was slating that Odegard guy the other and saying without him they're a better team. I'm sure they weren't saying that when he was injured. Anyway they reckon it made Rice better.

He slows them down

Fulham an actual disgrace to their fans. No effort whatsoever.

Expected a bit more in a Derby game but it is Fulham and they've got their suitcases packed already, all we can do is win the 5 we've got left it's not goal difference that will let us down it's the dropped points against poor sides that we'll look back on if we don't win it.

 

[its grim up north]

Wish folk would stop going on about Burnley, we won that one, it's the stupid results against Brighton and Chelsea in January Spurs in February West Ham and Forest in March, all games we were leading and drew.

 

[MCFC1993]

Best case here is it staying at 3.

That still fine, 2 bare minimum wins only puts us 2 goals behind.

 

[ancoats]

The Burnley result was a vital 3 points and not really goals scored. We will have 2 games to outscore the 4 plus goals they may end up with after the Fulham game. Yes, Everton away will not be easy to win the game, never mind scoring 3 or 4, but we will try and hopefully get a good result

 

[citytill1die84]

And when did city last win by 2/3 goals or more? That’s where the worry comes from I think.

Erm........

Chelsea 0 Man City 3

 

[Beanhead]

But they don’t have to do it each week do they? If they gain a gap today of GD. Even if they win every game 1-0 I can’t see city overtaking on GD against who they play.

Football doesn’t work like that. Some of our highest scoring games come against tricky games on paper. It’s the end of the season the desire won’t be what it is for some teams. We could put 5 past a Villa side with nothing to play for instance. Also they won their last game in hand by a single goal.

 

[Tevez City]

Some thought that traveling & CL game will make them tired & weaker, but it made them sharper & better.

 

[John Wayne]

Exactly. Arsenal were two up at Wolves (who are equally as bad as Burnley) and drew.

 

[Gordyola]

Very much doubt that. Fulham are chasing a European slot

Not on basis of that performance

 

[youngbob]

Once, this is my point. People aren’t understanding when they say city are going to score 3/4/5 against Everton lol.

Liverpool just before that. 4-0. Even 2-0 against Arsenal.

Even if we only win every remaining game 2-0 we'll finish on +47. Arsenal would need to get +6 from Burnley, Palace, and West Ham - two of those away.

 

[cleavers]

Burnley result was fine. Chelsea (h), Brighton (h), Spurs (a), Forest (h), WHU (a) is where we made problems for ourselves.

You missed united.....a terrible result that one, despite their current league position.

 

[manimanc]

Why is everyone stressing.
We're going to do it.
Let's let mardarsenal win the league for the 15th time this season, let the press have their wankathon and we'll just crack on quietly.
No biggie.

 

[Danny Tiatto]

Some thought that traveling & CL game will make them tired & weaker, but it made them sharper & better.

They haven’t played the 2nd leg or the West Ham game yet

I’ll be making a judgement after those

 

[paulchapo]

Fulham at home must be the best fixture after a European away. They are a strange side who flatter to deceive and fold easily under pressure. The only game i don't remember them doing so was, surpise, surprise, against us. While we're mentioning thhe Burnley result, looking back thst was another annoying one. 5-1 up with 30.minutes to go we should have banged in more goals but in the end almost blew it.

 

[dadnlad]

All on West Ham from here.

Burnley and Palace won't put up a fight.

I bet Palace do against us

We are enemy of yank Pl
