I like Mowbray but he did prattle on about it being Klopp's 200th Premier League game today and the fact that only Mourinho had won more games as a manager in the 'first 200 games'.. which is true but..

- Klopp has won 127/200 games so far (64%)
- Mourinho has won 211/348 games so far (61%); sorry, don't have his first 200 games stat
- Guardiola has won 122/168 games so far (73%)

So, Pep is almost at the same level as Klopp but having played 32 games less. And his win percentage far outstrips the rest, including both 'The Special One' and 'The Amazingly Dentate One'.

I wonder if Guy will return to this one when Pep gets to game 200? I doubt it.

Yet another example of media Johnnies hyperventilating over made up, meaningless statistics.. which, when analysed and challenged, fade into thin air with their breathless commentary..
Might be better if commentators got all their usual stat's out of the way before the game starts -
Aguero hasn't scored since 1066.
City's defence cost the same as the entire GDP of Burundi.
City have made their worst start to a sesaon since 1899.
The goals have dried up.
Now, can we get on with the game please?
 
In all the reports I’ve seen there is no mention of a game in hand & certainly no talk we could be top before the Rags next play.
I read that we had the chance to go third after the Liverpool draw??

Ive also seen somewhere this morning that Liverpool fall a point behind Leicester on goal difference??

Theyll do anything to try and keep them relevant.

Imagine city had just picked up 3 points from Southampton, West Brom, Newcastle and United and hadnt scored in the last three games
 
I will tell you how big this United and Liverpool rivalry is (At risk of people being appalled by what I say). I asked a girl out in 1991. She was pretty fit (different league to me). I thought she would say no but she was a United fan so I told her I had 2 tickets for Utd v Liverpool that weekend (then I thought she would say yes). It worked and she said yes. I then went to Old Trafford on the Thursday to buy tickets for the match THAT WEEKEND. And got 2, easily.
That year United capacity was c47500. Two weeks earlier they had played Sunderland at home in front of 45,394 and then for the huge clash versus Liverpool they attracted 43,690. Not even a sellout, hence I could wander up and get tickets with 3 days notice. Biggest rivalry my arse
I have always thought it was contrived by the media and fuelled by Ferguson. Liverpool v United was never as big as City/United when I was growing up in Manchester, not even close. There was a broader Manchester v Merseyside hooligan rivalry.
It changed when football went global and the Liverpool v United match is now the ultimate derby for the fanboys from Essex to Mumbai.
 
Lukaku’s touch makes Bony’s touch look feather light. Absolute bull shit.
In the England v Belgium match (2018 World Cup-3rd place play off), KdB played at least a dozen excellent through balls to Lukaku who messed up every time.
Not sure how the "Lump" finished runner-up on total goals scored-4 (2 more than Stones!).
