Dropped off a cliff is the right terminology. I don't think you can claim a side who have made history in winning 4 titles in a row then shits the bed when they lose form. Particularly when you consider the number of injuries we've suffered this campaign.

And we’ve suffered those injuries - both physical and mental - because of the demands placed on the players over the last four years.

I'll settle for fourth right now.

I said you shat the bed this season. Which is true. Nobody expected anything other than City vs Arsenal for the title.

The fact City have dropped off a cliff and yet Arsenal are 9 points off a team who has a brand new manager and spent nothing in pre season is a bad reflection on Arteta. Arsenal have much easier fixtures than Liverpool so in theory could claw it back but come on if you watch the current Arsenal team on TV they don't look like a title winning team and aren't as good as last season. Arteta has had a fortune to spend on players, is on a huge salary and unfortunately the name of the game is winning - you have to turn that investment into trophies. Then if your main rival has an absolute nightmare yet you don't take advantage then questions need to be asked.

I reckon Arteta will play a reserve team against Newcastle in the EFL and the Rags in the FA Cup and we'll go out of both as a result. So he's therefore got to win the league or the CL and we aren't anywhere near a CL winning team - the league is an outside bet. There's a reason we are 6-9 points behind the Dippers and that reason is we deserve to be - we haven’t been good enough. Sure there have been some unusual refereeing decisions but we weren't good enough to beat Brighton and actually could have lost that game.

The last 2 seasons we were exciting to watch. This season we've played regimented tedious shite. So boring. Occasionally we turn it on - like the 10 minutes at the start of the 2nd half at Brentford when we murdered them but usually it's just a load of sideways passing, interminably long throw ins (30 seconds left of injury time vs Brighton, we get a throw in and Partey takes 20 seconds!). F*ck this shit, we're better than that. I'm bored watching our games now.

Your core point is right that with City not in contention, Arsenal should have been a shoe-in. But "shat the bed" makes no sense. We lost our most pivotal player and Ballon d'Or winner and have had half our 1st team injured for the past several months. With that fact sheet it would have been miraculous if City were up near the top.

Tarquins are continually shitting the bed. Fucking temperamental wankers

Yes and no. Some games like Feyenoord home, Rags home, Brighton away have been games where City have simply lost all composure which you'd never have seen in previous seasons and which are indicative that something wasn't right from a confidence perspective.

I'm not trying to belittle City here in case folks get the wrong idea (clearly some people's backs have been put up)- I'm just highlighting it as examples of things you'd just very rarely see a City side do in previous years and which can't be levelled simply at injuries. There seemed to be something psychologically wrong with the team.

Seems City may have turned a corner now so let's see if that continues.
