Titles are won by having a solid defence.

Manuel Pellegrini chuckles to this post.

Disgusting from Sky...99% post match about the team that lost.

It’s always the way. Always has been.

And it is/was for the other cheek of the same arse.

Maine Road Massacre - all about how poorly the rags played.
Last Maine Road derby - all about how poorly the rags played.
Sick Swan - all about how poorly the rags played.

It really doesn't matter
We'll win the league by eight or nine points

I wish I had your optimism.

Anyone posted the dippers at the palace game ?

17th of January? Don't think that's feasible is it?

- We'd have to win both

- United would have to lose to Burnley and draw to Liverpool

- Leicester would have to drop points to Southampton.

- Spurs would have to drop points to either Villa or Sheffield United.


It's not impossible but I think 6th of February is the big day. Win at Anfield, win the league.

Win at Klanfield?

There’s more chance of my grandson's rocking horse having a shit!

I couldn’t find the Loonypool / Palace one but this ones better

Just watching the highlights of Southampton-Liverpool and Southampton have their starting goalkeeper out, starting CB out, starting midfielder out, and starting forward out. Funny we only hear about some teams' injuries, isn't it?

Yep.

City somehow had an advantage against Chelsea, despite 6 players being out.

There’s a saying in the NFL, offences win games, defences win championships.

Bobby built his title on a solid defence.

1) Yes to your general meaning in the post. Although it should be said that Arsenal once conceded 17 goals in a season and came 2nd.

2) I do think you're doing Mancini a bit of a disservice there, he also built a fantastic attack the season we won the league that got over 90 goals, one of the highest in history.

3) Worth noting that we conceded even fewer goals in both league successes under Guardiola than in 11/12. Although that should only add to your general point.
