I know our remaining games look easyish on paper but that's only if our players bother to turn up and we all know teams love treating us as their cup final.
Really would not be shocked if we ended up 4th and having the play in the bloody qualifier.

Re: The race for the Top 4
How sad is it that some blues still use this as a yardstick.
We have probably the best squad in the league and we currently sit 4th yet your happy that it's better than a few years ago.
Thankfully our owners no doubt have higher aspirations.

We have not challenged on any front - went out of the FA & League Cups - both at home to 2nd rate teams, have been on the back foot the entire season and remarkably, have our best run when all our strikers are out injured. We're not challenging for the title coz we are waiting for Chelsea to fook up, which they wont and City should not be in the 'race for top 4'. City should be cast iron race for the title or a very close 2nd.
As much as Mancini's last season was pitiful, at least we were challenging through to the FA Cup final.
Unless we finish at the very least, 2nd, within 1 or 2 points of Chelsea, then the season will have been a disgrace for all the money that has been spent, for all the quality that we have and for all the planning and policies that Txiki and Ferran that will have clearly failed. I want to see all the City players bleeding from all pores in these final games of the season. I want to see Pellers show some fucking emotion & passion and stop being a 'charming man'.
I think you may be waiting a while for the last one!
You are right though, it hasn't been great.
Still better than a few years ago

Re: The race for the Top 4
They put a near £300M team out every week and have heavily outspent us the last 12 months so why would it be a disaster and a resigning issue?

Re: The race for the Top 4
we might have the best squad on paper, but we don't have the best 'team'. I'm waiting for the the derby to see where we stand after that before i decide whether we can challenge or give up.
Only thing that works for us is that they all have to play each other. A couple of loses or draws for Chelsea against United, Arsenal and Liverpool ... with a few games left, City has the opportunity to possibly to sneak in there (the title), at the end.

Because , man for man, most folk seem to accept that their squad is significantly worse than ours.

Runners up and FA Cup finalists and it was judged to be a failure !! Looks like we might be looking for a new manager if our owner is consistent

Just keep smiling to yourself that we aren't in the third tier any more.
