Liberty, Liberty, we are coming,
Liberty, Liberty, south Wales
Liberty, Liberty, we are coming,
This is better than the days of Swales.

I see SSN 7 o'clock news concentrating on coach attack. Hurry up and show the goals you cunts I'm waiting to go to work.

As for Sunday: We all know of "Typical City", but in the past we usually only balls things up on the final day of the league season at the wrong end of the table: 1983, 1987 and 1996. But we're usually OK at the top end: 1968, 1985, 1989, 2000 and of course 2012 and 2014. Though there was that season we missed promotion by a tiny fraction of a goal in the days of goal average.

Come on Blues, just bloody come on.

Well remembered, mate. The one exception to the second list, and the greatest parallel, could be said to be 2005, though :-/
 
Get hold of the ball and keep it, wear the Swans down.

Don't be afraid to take your man on or have a shot, and when we lose possession get everybody back behind the ball.

Come on City don't let us down, your last chance this season to show us what you are truly capable of.

Hahaha...just caught up with your other posts mate. Last night certainly felt like that there was some divine intervention...lets hope City keep their side of the bargain on Sunday.

There are those who think football is about playing kids, not winning.

Bizarrely

And there are some of us who think that playing strollers, piss-takers, past-its and the can't be bothered instead of strategically introducing motivated and highly trained young professionals is one of the reasons we are looking at 4th place being a cause for celebration.

It's not either/or.

Don't think many thought it was over. It was always going to be tough for the rags last night. A lot of people ,including myself are livid that that match should have any bearing on our season. It's a disgrace.
We should have been watching that for the spectacle it was and not on the edge of our seat worrying. As I say,a disgrace.

It's still not over either. Still one more game to mess up in.
 
All along I have said give Willy the nod. The stats below proved that Willy, the current League cup hero, is capable or better than our English GK..

Don't know if anyone else has copied these in as I have note read every page but these are the ratings from whoscored.com and show some interesting divergence from the what people see. I would rank things differently based on my observations but I think these give a fairer indication of actual contribution than most of the contributions that I have bothered to read.

Quite right Bill - Villa, Norwich and Newcastle away one goal in either of the first two and we would be home and dry.

When Bony got injured at Villa (Aguero out through injury) he brought on Navas instead of Kelechi, I knew then we were in for along hard season.
 
It was 'over' once we couldn't catch Leicester. Now we are just squabbling for the last consolation prize. Thank God West Ham have handed us an unexpected chance. Let's hope we make a fist of it.

Yeah, but you just hate Joe for some totally bizarre reason. Any keeper behind our defence would struggle - It's simply amazing that Joe has a chance if sharing the Golden Gloves award with our defending.
