[pride in battle]

Dominating with clearly tired players.Fresh legs were needed and the likes of Foden and Marmoush have got goals in them.

Marmoush on for me, he score's goals !

 

[Northerndave]

When are you clowns going to understand that the opposition you play doesn't define the number of goals you're going to score?

I think BEIN sports are looking for a new pundit....should I pass on your number ? :)

I'm starting to think that Sav is Peps secret love child. As if bringing him on would lead to anything. Great to be top, but feels a lost opportunity to pile on some good goal difference. Can see Arsenal putting 6 past Newcastle on Sat.

1 win in 6

With all due respect, that is complete bollocks my friend.

I was in the away end tonight with a good view of the warmup. The finishing drills were laughable, with players and coaches actually laughing at each others misses. It was commented on by a few of us stood watching that we hoped they would buck their ideas up. They didn’t.

Really ?

 

[lasereyes]

Look it would be nice to have thumped them. But Arse actually dropped points against Wolves who are worse than Burnley.

 

[man on the moon]

You're losing it mate, you're bottling it far more than anyone connected with Arsenal.

City at Wembley for a chance of a trophy they're desperate for - lost, comfortable win for City. No goals.

Southampton, Championship side in the FAC, chance to show they're still up for the treble after we killed their quad hopes - lost, 1 goal.

Bournemouth, home, a team who haven't who haven't won as many matches as Newcastle - lost, 1 goal.

City at the Etihad, yet another chance to show they're still the team to beat - lost, one gifted goal.

Sporting - 1 goal over two matches against a very average side in the CL.

Previous matches - needed 2 90th minute + goals to beat Everton against the run of play.
Scraped past Mansfield by the odd goal.
Scraped past Brighton after scoring an early goal.
Scraped past Chelsea by the odd goal after Chelsea going down to 10 men after about 20 mins.
Blew a 2 goal lead v Wolves

This is not a team that looks anything remotely close to banging in lots of goals against anybody.
They have two tough CL ties against Atletico in between, which they'll be desperate to win because it might be their only chance of winning anything.
Their confidence will be on the floor after we caught and passed them and beat them at Wembley and again on Sunday after leading the table for over 6 months.

And on top of that tonight should prove one thing to you - that you can NEVER predict how a match is going to go. Just leave the bottling to them. It's all they're good at.

And by the way, WE put 5 past Burnley at home but you need to get past this idea that teams should score a certain amount of goals past certain teams, why you lot never learn I really don't know but it doesn't work like that, never has, never will.

Don't know about anybody else but I feel a lot better after reading this post:)

Do people not think the game v Arsenal took it out of us?

We won. We were 10 points behind. We are now top.

We have beaten Arsenal twice, battered Chelsea and Liverpool and won a cup. We could be on for a domestic treble.

Just stop with the complaints.Please.

100% this. Don’t discount the fact that many of our squad have never won the prem yet either. Loads of nerves out there tonight, but job done.

 

[Zenmanc]

If we play like that again, we could win every game, 3-0.
It was just awful finishing today. We did not play badly and played some lovely stuff at times.

Are you already or gradually going blind? We are lucky we didn't lose 3-1 and every PL team we play from here on is better than Burnley.

Apologies on either being or gradually going blind btw.

 

[Blue tiger]

Wasn't great tonight, but we are top. If we dont win the league, its not because we haven't put 5/6 past Burnley tonight. It will because we only took 1 point off a wank Spurs team, drew with Chelsea in the last minute and dropped points to Forest and West Ham. 2 weeks ago we'd of been buzzing to be level on points with 5 games to go.

 

[Northerndave]

With all due respect, that is complete bollocks my friend.

hahaha, no worries, we all have different takes, anyway we are top of the league

 

[Kippax77]

Neville's Mrs might get a shag tonight, but apart from that the title is in our own hands.

 

[Mazzarelli's Swiss Cheese]

Actually less of a narrow win than the game against Burnley in the run in of the centurions season. A tedious late 1 one goal win against the usual low block.
3 points at a time...

 

[Gesario]

The better the opposition the better we play.
Tonight was testament to this.

Correct

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

Well if we're going to have a bad game it's better to have it against Burnley. I saw the highlights again though and we did have quite a few misses. We really should have killed that game.

 

[Gesario]

Can’t believe the Sky interviewer pissed off both Haaland and Pep. Just won another game to go top, a few days after a massive game against Arsenal, yet she goes on about disappointment of the goal difference.

We may not be completely happy that we didn’t score more, but got to be happy with 3 points.

Typical Sky, wanting drama out of every ounce of ‘their’ entertainment. Well fuck you Sky, this is still sport for many of us and your shit attempts to create controversy can get to fuck.

Did we win / turn up ? No idea whatsoever why people pay for this utter red infested rancid shit show

If only we could have won ?

 

[johncity]

3 points move on to Saturday

 

[samuelyeboah]

i'll feel a lot better about this win the second arsenal drops points anywhere. then we'll truly be dependent on nothing but ourselves

 

[Phil1]

See the place is still full of cumts,
