It's fact, not "cherry picked".

I don't think it'll happen, but we've made sure they can't slip up (so long as we don't).

Yes it is cherry picked.

The fact that it's fact doesn't mean it cannot be cherry picked.

So who is in the better form in the last 6 games then ? It's not arsenal, it might be in 2 games time, but I don't do fortune telling.

We are in the better form out of the last 6 games.

Out of the last 36 games Arsenal have 79pts and we have 77.

Out of the last 3 games Arsenal have 9pts and we have 7pts.

You cannot select a random number of games and then say "its not cherry picked".

Come on now.

But 3-0 is why we won’t win the league, a proper Pep team would have put them to the sword 6-0. The lack of intent shown in the second is why we ain’t winning the league

If it goes down to gd, that 3 nil will definitely do us.

Win is a win but fuck me that was dross.

Welcome back Walter.

 

[ONTHERUNWITHTHAKSIN]

Happy with 3 points and 3 - 0

 

[Roachy]

Not the best game but a good win nonetheless. Plenty of players getting a run out was good to see.

 

[chickaroon]

Just looking at that interaction between Pep and Adam Wharton - Pep’s telling him that if he beats Arsenal he’ll be playing for City next season ;)

I Hope so.

Stones’s reception brought a tear to my eye

Me too mate, the missus calling me soft but i couldn't help it.
Just remembering what a brilliant player (when fit) he was for us.

 

[Xhavenjoe]

Listening to the managers after the match, I'm warming to Glasner.
He can bat back questions quicker than Vitas Gerulaitis.

 

[Frankie lad]

If Pep really thought we had a chance he wouldn’t have picked that side. Palace were terrible and that’s 2 weeks before their cup final!

If Arsenal. miraculously slip up and we win every game I’m sure we will win on GD but it really isn’t going to happen.

Nothing to do with selection.We coasted like goal difference wasn’t an issue.It remains an issue until they win both matches.

Can't believe your missus was in the same room as you. My one was mowing the lawn.

Or the five points Spuds took off us the Forest home draw , Chelsea home draw and a few other shitshows , any other season we wouldnt be near the title with 83 pts , its been a shit Premier league and the lowest winning points total for a decade ,if a bunch of bottlers like the Goons can win the league ,just confirms how much the standard has dropped
We will walk the league next season

They haven't won anything yet.

 

[RayCTID]

I did think Pep made too many changes but was totally vindicated with his selection given we also have the cup final to contend with. Pleased with the win. Just keep up the pressure and see where it takes us. Palace gave us one or two scares but we were mostly in control.

 

[Inca Roads Bert]

Is this woman a famous pianist or is it a City fan you know?

I think she's a famous stenographer City fan.

GTFI!

 

[cleavers]

Out of the last 3 games Arsenal have 9pts and we have 7pts.

Cherry picker.

 

[youngbob]

Good professional performance. Sagged a bit in the second half but then the subs injected a bit of urgency and we nicked another. I think Pep knows in heart of hearts that Arsenal won't fuck up against Burnley or Palace and that the FA Cup final is now the perfect way to end the season on a high, so we played with that in mind and just got the points as required. That's fair enough for me. I'm finally in that "focus on next season" mode, which I expected to be in months ago. It's nice.

 

[Frankie lad]

If it goes down to gd, that 3 nil will definitely do us.

They play Burnley at home next.3-0 will definitely not do us.

 

[WestGorton]

Well done City. Well done Phil.

Kinell mate. I was out mowing the lawn the second the final whistle went. Wanna swap?
