"Our owners will be very happy at this stage of the season"

Maybe but I also think they will be looking over their shoulders are seeing the pack closing in, we clearly are going to see the Premier league becoming more competitive and more clubs capable of winning it and for that reason I think this summer we will see a big reaction from our execs in terms of a large refresh of the squad.

Agree , but is it our drop in trandards or other clubs spending mass amounts of money to compete ?, i suspect itis the latter.

I spent 3.75 years never comimg to the main forum as I found it either happy clappers or drama queens, only ventured back from off topic end of last season.

nothing has changed to be fair except the kneejerk reaction have increaesed by at least 66%

A bit of both for me, some of our signings are a drop off from previous levels.

I am not criticizing clubs that spend, I am totally against the model of stopping owner investment , for me it's just wrong.

I welcome competition, it's stops complacency.

Yesterday again we allowed a team a second chance, the second leg is wide open and it simply should have been over after the first 45mins, how many times have we allowed that to happen?

Too many Happy Clappers sadly. FFS let's call a spade a spade and be honest with ourselves. We used to get the ball forward faster under Pearce and that's when we had shit like Samaras and Vassell playing.

Possession without goals is little more than time-wasting. Frankly we won't win anything playing like this and anyone who thinks differently is blind or deluded.

Guardiola comes out and constantly quotes other team's transitions being too fast! WTF, it's him who decides to keep slow players, while those with guile or pace have long gone. He's the 1st coach also in 5 years not to make a bloody substitution, yet Leipzig put on 4 or 5 fast fresh players. You don't have to be a football expert to realise that is extremely dumb!

This is a classic example of what people are talking about.

Some dickhead crams as much negative, brain-dead shite as possible into a comment and says that anyone who disagrees is a "Happy Clapper."

That's what this site has become.

Football is nothing more then entertainment. Folk can boo if they want.

Your answer is in your original post , clubs are closing the gap , the days of mid nineties or 100 points a season may be over.

You can spot them a mile away, either utd fans or recent spoilt bastards. We have no right to win every game, we got an away draw at a good team and people are moaning! Try driving to reading away on a Wednesday night and getting beat 4-0, the true city fans are loving every minute of this ride.

It’s like brexit this.

The happy clappers who if you dare to criticise the manager accuse you of treason, vs the radical ‘rip it all up’ naysayers who don’t really have a plan for what to do next.

 

[Revolver]

If people are being ridiculous like calling for Pep to go, demanding that we win trophies or being viscous about players. Then yes that is appalling.

But if people are expressing concern over tactics and substitutions then I can’t see what is wrong with that. After all isn’t that what a forum is for?
