He's a bit of a dick if the truth be known, looking at his posts I often wonder if he actually supports city, defo a wum thoughUtter rubbish, the performance against Leicester just last weekend was top class.
This and this and this. Its difficult. Thats why none have done what we are attempting to do. Cross fingers and toes that we have had our off day and lack of a bit of luck in a game that didn't kill us in a trophy.The road to multiple trophies is more likely to be bumpy and involve setbacks than be smooth and straighforward.
Maybe
Torres and sterling aren't Jesus 50/50 depending on how you play
Zinch playing in a position he hasn't played an awful lot in plus as you said ake and mendy
Yes got to go strong now. It was a bit of a risk and I don't think a point yesterday would have been a bad result as if the Rags win there games in hand would have made the difference 9 points but 10 with goal difference which is at least 4 games instead of 3Fair point. Torres and zinch out of position ok. Jesus and sterling have been starters most of the year.
Truth is, we rested a few players. We'll go strong in the donestic cups but still use the squad, most likely, and will also have to go strong in the league next two games at the very least.
Both are true it’s just that one is an absolute and one is an estimate. The estimate can be calculated so it’s possible to discard the adjectives if it confuses things and just use the percentage which everone can relate to. If I were being pedantic I could say there is a chance we are mathematically safe and then get deducted points for some reason but people would rightly say say “how likely is that?” ...back to probability.That is just not true. Only one of those is right. The league is not won.
When it is won, the other will be right too.
Otherwise, it is just an argument of adjectives. Virtually, probably, most likely, very likely, highly likely, objectively, pretty much, almost; who gives a fuck. Many posters aren't even using one, just calling it done.
It isn't a reaction to yesterday, I've thought the same before yesterday. And I'm ok with that game being lost and How it was lost, in the bigger picture. It also isn't fear of being laughed at. Or trying to be 'the bigger blue'. It is simply not being bullish, thats all. We are on track, in a great position. I can enjoy the upcoming games one by one without writing the rest of the league off or dismissing the remaining games.
Yeah I agree about the chance conversion mate absolutely but it still could have been a huge weekend in the title hunt? Say we won yesterday and the rags draw or lose today then momentum to the title and winning confidence is high going into Wednesday? As it stands, if the rags win both games in hand it’s 8 points with 18 left to play for? Obviously the rags could still lose today as could Leicester and no damage done but i still feel pep hung a few out to dry in a sense as how can ferran for example get into the game when if de Bruyne played the passes in behind would have been better and the shape? Huge week ahead now though so hopefully we win against Dortmund and Chelsea and can then go full steam for the title ASAP :-)Which looking at the chances up until the final pass or shot we did, the selection was a winning selection the execution of the players was the fault, we could of easily won that game by a country mile but for the final ball, /finishing

Really not worth it though.
One person’s bullish is another person’s confidence as you say, just adjectives.
My opinion is that there wouldn’t be as much anxiety on here if the team in second place wasn’t United.
Me too , but then , I always bet against City . It kind of softens the blow .Yhp, £1,200 if it goes tits up. We either win the league in which case it's £15 well spent or I can send my liver into oblivion with the blood money.
Play like yesterday and it could happenPosters in the post match thread are saying this could be a reverse of what happened to the rags in 2012.
Can't believe what I'm reading half the time.
How come you don't apparently know that City hold the all time record as the worst ever to defend their top league title, by getting relegated in 1938 the season after winning the old First Division title in 1937? That's a proud record that I hope will stand forever: only City could be so mercurial.
Because if the Rags lose today, the maximum they would be able to get would be 81 points which reduces the total we need to get to 82... ∴, 8 points required.How've you worked that one out mate?
Play like yesterday and it could happen
Thats the scary part
I get what your saying and yes maybe the reactions are ott including me.No it couldn't.
Im starting to wonder how many people actually watched the game and how many just ignored everything after Leeds goal. We absolutely dominated Leeds and created about 8 gilt edged chances to score outside the goal.
Play that same 11 against Newcastle, Brighton, Villa without Grealish and Palace and they'd easily win the 3 games needed to seal the title.
It was one of those days where we create a million chances and none of them go in for whatever reason. Its happened a few times a year every season since 2017. It happens, half the board pretend like the sky is falling and then we carry on winning.
It certainly doesn't happen 5 times in a row.
I get what your saying and yes maybe the reactions are ott including me.
However Leeds for me were not a team to select and say fuck it let's make loads of changes.
For me yesterday was a game for going full strength l, get the game won and make changes.
The pep love in with Bielsa just like the love in a few weeks ago with the rags boss was to be quite honest embarrassing. Is it any coincidence we lost both games? Obsessing with the opposition manager isn't good.
Ah right I thought you meant the rags would be 8 behind, my mistake.Because if the Rags lose today, the maximum they would be able to get would be 81 points which reduces the total we need to get to 82... ∴, 8 points required.
There’s a lot of bed wetting on here isn’t there?26 wins in 28 games.

The pep love in, fucking behave, I said it before people only say pep has a love in or arrogant after a defeat, fucking grow up, your embarrassingI get what your saying and yes maybe the reactions are ott including me.
