Before we play Leeds away on the 28th December.

[cleavers]

We could be 8pts behind Arsenal,3rd in the table and only 3 pts in front of the rags.

So what ? Season finishes in May.

Arsenal could drop points and we know beating Leeds will take us to 2 points behind and right back into the thick of it.

Let's enjoy the World Cup now (or a few weeks holiday if you're not watching it).

You never know, Stockport's own Phil Foden could score the winning goal in the world cup final and Stones, Grealish, Walker and Philips all have world cup medals around their necks before they kick another ball for City.

To be honest, I think I'd back us for at least a treble over that last part happening! Would be happy to be proven wrong of course.

Yes people do know,just stating a fact.

And we won't have played yet, it's just adding to the doom and gloom because we lost a game, we'll lose others, so will the rest.

Hence "Season finishes in May" ;-)

Worrying about where we are after not playing before 28th December, is utterly pointless imho.

I'll not lose any sleep either way.

Ha, it's not a prediction! Just a rally to put what might happen at Leeds away out of our mind for a bit!

Going off last season's title celebrations, if England do win the world cup, we can expect Jack to be pissed out of his head until at least April...

Erling might well be injured after his loan spell at Ashton United as well……A brilliant approach from Ashton.

Non-League Ashton United claim to have made a cheeky bid to sign Erling Haaland on loan from neighbours Manchester City during the World Cup.

With top-flight football taking a break for the global showpiece in Qatar, Haaland will be out of action in the coming weeks as his home country, Norway, failed to qualify.

Ashton, of the Northern Premier League Premier Division, English football’s seventh tier, believe they can offer the formidable striker the perfect solution to help him maintain his match fitness.
“It just makes sense,” Robins manager Michael Clegg told ashtonunited.co.uk. "City aren’t playing, and we want to help by keeping Erling fit.

"It makes more sense than him playing golf for six weeks. We think he will be a great fit for us and would slot in with our squad dynamic really well.”

I don't think we need to worry about that either, not with Southgate in charge.

I’m not flapping at either losing against Brentford or possibly going 8 points behind for a couple of days. We are going to have to be at it in the extended second half of the season though. We still have to play:

Arsenal X2
Tottenham X2
Chelsea X2

Lot of big games coming up.
