You didn’t mention the Villa game, Bailey hit the woodwork with about 5 minutes to go when it was 2-2, Arse go down the other end and score and get another in injury time when the Villa keeper went forward for a corner.Lost to Everton and Brentford, just scraped past Bournemouth and Leicester...they started to rattle weeks ago. Still a long way to go yet, not as if it's the last few games so if they're rattled now they have no chance.
That's why I can't understand the bottlers on here every time we're less than perfect. It's embarrassing given that we're by far the stronger team.
You’re right, the training at City will be very light, the actual games are part of the squad fitness and there’s no boredom. The Tarquins will have to go in every day, intensify the training and try to create the pressure that is now inevitably coming their way.Also only playing once a week at the business end of the season isn’t ideal.
I always think - and many ex-players have expressed this over the years - that playing twice a week gets you into a proper rhythm at this time of the season.
Difference is we know how to get the job doneFunnily enough barring Newcastle we play the same teams too
Would you rather see the Smiths one more time or follow them on every night of a world tour ;)Arsenal now have 11 games left to play. Once a week almost.
City potentially have 19 games to play.
Let's hope they also figure out how to put the ball in the net.
Where are the gobby gooners today i wonder
Bit of a quandary for me, because whilst not exactly heartbroken about them going out last night, I would rather that they had stayed in and faced a fixture issue the extra games would have brought.

Her aim will hopefully improve :)Missing me, Kaz? How sweet!
All it takes is one slip from Arsenal in any of their remaining games (not counting the one against us). Even a draw. Mind you, we'd have to be perfect on the run in. And we still have to go to Brighton, Brentford, Fulham and Everton as well as Liverpool and Arsenal still to come to the council house. Not an impossible task, but a difficult one.11 games is over 1/4 of a season left.
And this is what makes City the best around. How many other clubs are still properly competing on 3 fronts? We do it year on year as well. AND this year we haven’t been anywhere near our best.You’ve still not got a date for West Ham and Brighton could also need rearranging should you beat Burnley tomorrow. With many of your players involved in internationals next week, lots of games before we meet at the Etihad. I think you will play 9 fixtures and we have 5.
We've still got to go to Saints, Brighton, Everton, Fulham, and a final day fixture at Brentford. No gimmes in that lot, unless you count the game at St Mary's as "easy". The Carabao Cup game there has next to no relevance as we were ropey at that time and also had a lot of B team players out that night.And most of our real difficult game are at home while they play away.
