Poor Jack taking shots here. I'll post and try and take some for you. I can be a cockney wanker (from Central Scotland). ;-)

You do not go streaming in though.
Your usually a very good poster despite not being a City fan.Please don't change.

Indeed not mate. It’s the shit we have to put up with every week and it’s what makes some of us a bit touchy now and again!

I think apart from Man Utd or Liverpool who when on top are more lauded than pilloried, the media likes to take others who have the temerity to challenge down a notch or two - Tall Poppy Syndrome

Apparently we are having a ''Leicester season''

Youve got Chelsea and Liverpool fans who caually assume next season they will be ahead of us again. Gary Neville doesnt respect us. All he does is fetish a scenario in which we face an injury crisis, and speculate about which clubs will come in for our players. The guy cant accept our position.

Incidentally its actually Pep and Man City people who have been the most complimentary of us and aware of the threat we will pose, not only this season but in years to come.

A class I taught had two girls who were United fans and a lad who was ostentatiously a gooner.

Students used to wind me up about supporting City (in the bad times) and that was ok, I could laugh with it. But they knew they couldn't come to class in rag shirts. One did, once, he was a bit of a mard-arse to boot, but i didn't let him in till he covered up. "It's my constitutional right" he whined. It's the only time I ever used the f- word. Rest of the class roared.

I agree and when it comes to Arsenal, Neville’s antipathy towards us is blatant

If you were having a Leicester season then you'd have been 5000-1 to win the league at the start.

Since the opening few games of last season, Arsenal have been progressing all the time (aside from that collapse in the last few games of last season but things like that can happen to any club) so anyone thinking this season is a flash in the pan for Arsenal is off their rocker IMO. Neville is a fucking idiot for thinking both City and United will finish above Arsenal this season. It's clear that you're building a squad designed to challenge at the top table for years to come and anyone who can't see that by now needs to wake up.

I honestly can't see Liverpool getting near you over the next few seasons - they're regressing at an alarming rate. Chelsea might be a different matter as they're signing players that ought to see them challenging at the top end of the table. United might be in the mix over the next few years too and it'll be interesting to see how much better Newcastle can get. Meanwhile, we'll need to freshen things up a bit in the summer too if we want to keep pace with Arsenal.

Well, you would think that, wouldn’t you?

The booing of all your recent managers and certain players has been fucking pathetic, Xhaka, Arteta and Wenger in particular. Also your booing of ex players. Not every fan, but as a fanbase you are a disloyal disgrace. By the way how many clubs forums do you have nearly 2k posts in? Weird

Have to defend Jack a bit here. He's a decent poster and I remember him recounting a story a few years back where he was up for a City v Arsenal game and was drinking in the Hare And Hounds in Shudehill. IIRC He was very complimentary about the City fans who let him and his mates have their seats.

And nearly 2k posts isn't too weird. I've got over 2k posts on Rag Cafe!

Fair comment but I was responding to his comment that City fans are the same as Arsenal fans, we aren’t. Also I wasn’t rude, I do think it’s weird to oust two thousand times on another club’s forum, you included (still love you though xx)

Looks like we may be getting Jorginho. Not what we hoped for.

However us getting Trossard and Jorginho, and City losing Cancelo and getting no one to replace him, thats a swing in our direction in terms of squad depth.

How does Jorginho stack up to Kalvin Phillips as a back up? I hear often, and rightly, that we have a dependency on Partey, but Kalvin Phillips is a mile of Rodri's quality. So really City also carry a risk in the sense you only have one top class holding player.
