Pantomime Villains, that's what we'll be

[Vienna_70]

Oh no we won't!

 

[Phelan's Pace]

Funny.

 

[deano ou812]

Think we will be even if we don't win it,the media will be on our backs scathing on how we failed to win it having spent huge amounts on players and so on..

Mwuahahahahaha let the games begin

Kevin to win us the title. Dead set

Just been speaking about this. I don't think we've got a sniff of the title, but if we win the league, be prepared for the biggest media witch hunt of all time. Money bags city rob title off poor foxes.

I said this in another thread. If either us or Arsenal pip Leicester to it, we won't get any credit. If Spurs do it then it'll be different. I genuinely think that most pundits, and the media would prefer Spurs to win the title.

Not only will we be pantomime villains but we will hear "you only won the league because Leicester threw it away" just like in 2014.

So in another 18 years we can say that we only won 20 titles because each year someone else 'threw it away'. Suits me fine.

I see absolutely no way we will win the games needed to even put pressure on them.We struggled yesterday to break down and beat a very poor Villa side who collapsed once we scored. We are just not flowing or fast enough and we cannot grind out results with the gung ho way this manager sets us up. Leicester are a tight hard working well organised outfit with no shortage of skill and experience.They also have a great manager who adjusts tactics if things aren't working and so far gets results with doing so.

Having said that......they seem to have rode their luck in a fair few games and if they lost a couple of key players who knows? People mention the pressure but don't forget they had massive pressure to deal with last season fighting relegation.

I think yesterday was a patient and measured approach. Its quite difficult when the away team park the bus. After the first goal its bound to be easier as Villa had to attack. I can live with not scoring till the 50th minute if it means we win 4-0. I do think Leicester will get 2 injuries and finish 3rd. Spurs will be our biggest threat. But as others posted...lets get Norwich beaten first. I could be wrong but i have this weird funny feeling that we are going to see a season finish like never before...in both competitions. De Bruyne & Nasri coming back is big news.

Yesterday was frustrating we didn't score earlier as you knew once we scored they would collapse. I was annoyed we didn't score more as Spurs have a better goal difference.

The whole team needs to do an hours shooting practice after training. I agree about the goal difference. Its so close this year...we could lose it this time on goals scored...the opposite of 2012...frightening.
