Or maybe those 6 PL victories (most of which were against struggling teams) have already happened and I was looking at the remaining PL fixtures which include a visit to our traditional Anfield graveyard? I appreciate that you're trying to be upbeat but for every time that we've reeled-in...

I don't think anyone disagrees that he's a good guy and popular in the dressing room However football history is littered with players who had one season too many or just lost their pace after never quite fully recovering from a nagging injury He was too slow to react for Leverkusen's 2nd...

Exactly He was a consistent performer in the treble season and yet despite only being 30 he now looks a spent force. There was an audible collective gasp of astonishment in 119 yesterday when it transpired that Ake had been outpaced by Liam Delap despite having at least a yard head start

Absolutely out of order if that was the exact sentence that I posted. However you've gone all tabloidy on me

We can't do anything about Arsenal's results, but aside from blind faith, I can't find any evidence to suggest that we'll suddenly hit a run of 10-12 consecutive victories, which we've successfully negotiated in previous years, and still only won the PL on the last day. I'm actually more...

He had a little purple patch last month with goals and assists in abundance, However he did similar last January and I'm beginning to wonder if his ceiling is around 10-12 goals per season with too many peripheral performances diluting his overall influence and preventing him from ever...

Caught in two minds with neither the ability to defend deep as a unit, nor keep the ball for long periods and pass our opponents to death. Unlucky with injuries but Ake was far too slow to cover for O'Reilly That can always happen, but far more concerning was the lack of collective output...

Oh don't get all technical on me and start quoting rules In that situation I was about as neutral as Anthony Taylor

That reminds me of umpiring a Derbyshire Cup Cricket Match, the Sunday after we'd beaten Forest at Wembley last season I arrived just in time to hear one of the home players (who was obviously a Forest fan) berating City for ruining the occasion by not turning up in big numbers I politely...

Weren't we also playing United in the FA Cup the previous Sunday? However you're right in that we'll definitely get more than 36,000 for the Second Leg.

Couldn't agree more Our PL.home attendances have never been this consistently high, but it's a student/tourist/family-orientated new demographic who pick and choose their games, and are less interested in the midweek fixtures, (particularly the CL) and even the early kick offs are an...

Exactly mate At Sunderland I detected some complacency amongst the City support (and I was as guilty as anyone, as I honestly thought that we'd done the harder part by winning at Palace and Forest) There were lots of RUBEN AMORIM and PABLO ZABALETA type songs, but it was only when time started...

We do, but there's a time and a place for singing that type of song, and it certainly wasn't at Forest or Sunderland when the result was in the balance Even the Amorim song stopped when we were desperate for a goal.

In a nutshell I was on a Supporters Club Coach for the league game, and the demand was so high that we also filled a minibus We stopped at a local cricket club pre match and had a fantastic time with our hosts offering free food. This time the numbers are so low that the we've had to jump...

I was thinking similar, but then I realised that it was 12 seasons ago when we played at Upton Park in the Semi Final and at the time, we hadn't won the League Cup since 1976. We also took a decent following to the London Stadium for Pep's first FA Cup tie but even that was 9 years ago. Since...
