He looks more like an original member of Kraftwerk to meWho doesn't look like a Lego headed, Captain Scarlet faced, smug ****?
Yes, and i love it :)They’re a very shouty bunch them Arsenal lot aren’t they?
With respect this current City side bears little resemblance to the last City team that won the league. You seem very unlikely to win 10+ games on the bounce - a decent team will slice through that midfield and punish that defence. You can't outscore teams every week. I agree with previous City teams chasing down leaders but to me the current team looks miles off that. But we will see.You almost make sense until I politely point out that the Dippers of last season who probably were slightly better than your current lot but not by much would have been almost out of sight by now.
They did what you are failing to do and that was have the league sewn up by Christmas and in doing so killing off any moral and hope from other potential title challengers.
You talk about having hard games out of the way but in a tight title run in there are no easy matches and the quality of teams usually takes a backseat to who can hold their nerve and have a better mentality. This is usually where City come into their own. We only lose if you blow us away early. Invite us into the race (which your doing) and recent history says it’s not going to end well for you.

Yet Arsenal didn’t really do that at your place did they?With respect this current City side bears little resemblance to the last City team that won the league.

Lots to unpack here but mard arse doesn't quite do this justice.

A City team finding its way again a flip flop Chelsea side and Liverpool who are going to pot in all honesty you should have a bigger gap by now ...................going into the new year with a small gap is the last thing you bottlejobs need tbhI think to be fair the fixtures have been harder for Arsenal, plus Arsenal have played 1 more away game than City but also that point against 10 man Chelsea isn't looking quite so clever now.
Just need to get through the Xmas break, must play the Carabao team against Bruges midweek, beat wolves on Saturday and move on. Only City away stands out as a difficult game although we are home to Liverpool in the new year who I imagine may be rejuvenated with a new manager in place.
All the talk about us being 10 points ahead by now is nonsense - we've been good at home but away it has been scraped wins at Old Toilet and Newcastle, 1-0 win at Fulham and a routine win at Burnley which you'd expect us to do. We lost at the Dippers and now Villa, and drew at 10 man Chelsea and Sunderland. Not exactly terrifying form. It's the Emirates that is a fortress and will need to remain so.

Yeah but that's media trying to get clicks. Anyone with half a brain could have looked at the Arsenal team playing and figured out it was a well structured side but it wasn't Messi's Barcelona team. I do think defensive injuries played a part against Villa but last I checked other teams get injuries too so that's life.Kind of agree with that, but it’s amusing that we haven’t played that great this season and a few weeks ago pundits wrote us off and apparently Arsenal are the best team in the world (after you beat Bayern). But here we are, just 2 points behind with the same GD.
As far a can see this is forming into a classic season for city. (Fingers crossed)With respect this current City side bears little resemblance to the last City team that won the league.

The Burnley game. Sweet Jesus.I think any team will struggle to win a title more impressive than City on 2018/19. It often gets overlooked as a consequence of the Centurion and Treble seasons but to win the last 14 games of a PL season, and to have to win every single one, whilst simultaneously fighting for three other trophies (and winning two of them) is a truly incredible sporting achievement. City actually won 18 of the 19 games that comprised the second half of that season which encompassed every other team in the division. If one of those 18 games had been a draw Liverpool would have won the league.
The mental strength to do that is simply off the scale, irrespective of ability.
Thank fuck for Sergio!The Burnley game. Sweet Jesus.
It’s nowhere hear Pep’s Barcelona or his Centurions , Fourmidables , Treble winners and the team that achieved 4 in a row.Yeah but that's media trying to get clicks.

Arsenal cantering to the league won't happen. Will be interesting to see how they react to the Villa defeat.
