Paul Merson: "City are not a top team"

[nmc]

Interesting thread. Can’t think of any reason to take anything that this clown says seriously. He a drink and drug addict stealing a living as a pundit.

 

[SWP's back]

This bellend is so fucking bad at knowing how sporting events may go that’s he’s bankrupted himself several times and has his earnings paid to his wife, who then gives him a cash allowance so he doesn’t have to sell the family home again.

What he thinks about football is worth neither knowing, nor discussing. We’re far more likely going to have a Merson RIP “found unresponsive - police say no foul play” thread than a “Merson was right” thread in the near future, the clueless ****.

I sincerely hope that somebody at the club sends the clip to Pep and the boys, no better motivation needed.

dont know where heard it must of been murphy this morning saying city only won four in a row because the premier league was poorer than it is now

 

[Man-chester copperpot]

So IF we won the league this season, it’s up their with the Leicester title win?

Obviously Arsenal, Liverpool & Chelsea are top teams so them winning will be “meh”

Let’s see the sniff head backtracks if were fighting for the title come May.

I’ll bet him £50.00 we’ll finish above his beloved Arsenal.

Our 4 in a row team and the Liverpool team we competed with around that time would utterly walk this current format of the PL.

The level right now is around where it was when Chelsea won it under Conte.

The problem with a lot of these pundits is they have took that 1 win in 14 from last season and viewed it as the nail in the coffin for City and Pep when in reality if you look at our results over an 18 month period, we are no worse than we were when we won the 4 in a row. That October/ November run was the anomaly from the past 6/7 years.

We have the most points this calendar year and are near or at the top on pretty much every measurable metric when it comes to statistics.

A lot of opposition fans and pundits are going to lose their heads if we win the league this year. Too many have convinced themselves that because of the 1 win in 14 anomaly we are now finished.

A bloke I know says we are a top team, so there!

Can you reconcile your condemnation of Merson's comments with Pep's comments at the weekend that City need to find more goalscorers?

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

Imagine if he'd said we'd struggle for top 4 this time last season, even though we were 4 points better off than we are now...

Those comments were very different, Pep was talking about we need to put our chances away including Erling who missed more than anyone & Merson was saying we are a one man team.

for anyone who wants to watch a pub bore get paid to be on TV;

Man City: Paul Merson expresses doubts round Pep Guardiola's squad and believes they'd struggle for top four without Erling Haaland

Paul Merson believes Manchester City arent a top team at this current moment in time and highlighted concerns that they would finish in the top four of the Premier League without Erling Haaland in the side.

Literally everything he says there is wrong. He says he watched the Everton game but its like he is blind!

He says we aint going to hit long balls...we have started playing more longer passes than we ever have. Foden is playing very well which he fails to acknowledge as well.

It’s funny cos this Arsenal team that is getting compared to the invincible side has less points than the worst City team in the last decade at the same stage.

It was only a few weeks ago that the scousers were being touted as a top team, by the same pundits who are presently damning our performances, for the very fact they were winning matches whilst not being in top form...

 

[Fordyboy46]

I wondered lonely as a blue
Looking for a loo to have a poo
Merson spoke I clenched so tight
I knew I'd shit I know I might

Great work pal

Merson at the start of last season when Forest won at Anfield. ‘Liverpool have no chance of wining the league’

 

[Burtonblue]

Said without Haaland we wouldn’t make top 4.
Can’t see anybody else scoring for us.
We haven’t replaced our aged squad with good enough players. Apparently none of them are world class.

As this is the man who said KDB wasn’t a good signing for us I take his views as those of a total ****. He’s clearly v worried we will stop the Tarquins and is in complete denial.
He’s like the anti- Nostradamus.
Oh yes and Sky are cunts too for giving him a living!

 

[lasereyes]

On sky saying city are not a top team cant wait till season ends to shut him up crack head no mark.

Can someone post the mandatory KDB Sky video and we close the thread
