Oh no. Looks like James‘ knee again. Poor fucker. Hope its not bad.

Season over I'd say, from the way he went down. Hopefully I'm wrong.

Sterling always looked far better with a focal point ahead of him.

At least he was able to walk off but it didnt look good hi when he first
went down.

I think the rags will beat Forest and i can't stand watching them win. So i think I'll watch the Burnley v Birmingham game instead.

Being able to walk doesn't mean much, I walked a mile to get a bus to walk another half a mile to the hospital with a ruptured cruciate and torn meniscus.

Probably 4-0 Rags. Forest are very poor and I don’t see them holding out for long.

I tried resisting the temptation to post but here’s my thoughts atm.

I think we are playing some really good football and I am excited by the promise of our young team however as many of you rightly point out, we are only 15 games in and much could happen and change in the months to come.

Lets be realistic though, City have a much stronger squad than us and rightly, are still favourites for the title. Jesus is out for 3 months which is a big blow for us and Nketiah has yet to prove he can cover for him (despite a good finish today). City also have greater experience than our young team which will be a big advantage on the run in.

Frankly, we need to strengthen but it remains moot whether we will despite the usual this time of the year transfer speculation.

Our aim is top 4 and given where we are now, it’d be a bitter pill were we to fail in achieving that. Actually, I’d also be a bit disappointed if we didn’t actually make top 2.

Anyway, I hope you all had a good Christmas and wishing you an almost happy 2023 ;)

I would say top three is pretty nailed on now. Momentum is a big thing in football. But so is know how
To go from not being in the top 4 for 5 years to champions is unheard of, except for a Leicester freak situation. Even the cult had to do it in steps
If you can keep that team together for a year or two though, and they continue to improve, you will be serious title contenders

Mendy, KDB and Laporte walked off with serious knee injuries

Yup, also how they end up making it worse as it’s not excruciating pain (broken leg) so they invariably try to run it off.

Boy who cried wolf with Azpilucueta there. Proper bell
