The Title Race - 2023/24

[manclad]

Okay I'm an American who is new to football/soccer, and obviously a new Man City fan. Couple of questions since being introduced to the sport. Where can I read up on the history of the team/players? What opposing teams should I hate? What opposing players should I hate? What the heck are all these different leagues all being played at one time? Which league is more important and why? Why does Man City have like 3 different uniforms/kits that are all different colors? I apologize if these are dumb questions or posted in the wrong thread just don't want to be a dummy.

First of all it's football, only Yanks refer to it as soccer.
Secondly, colour is spelt with a u in it .
Here endeth the lesson.

Win the next four! Big if of course and we have a huge huge chance.

In the unlikely event we do win all four, it'll be all over, but I'm sure pigmol will be working on a plan in the next few days.

chelsea, liverpool, spurs, villa.

the next 4 league games could well define our season.

It’s a potentially tricky spell but unless we do something like losing four in a row, it probably won’t decide our season. As we have seen last season, it’s about the 38 games.

Let’s go one game at a time. .

City are clear favourites to win the league and so they should be but we have long way to go.

But that's to distinguish it from Gaelic football I presume.

i was sort of meaning in the other direction, mate.

your game-by-game pragmatism is sensible and no doubt comes with age/experience but imagine if we win all those 4!

there's no harm in dreaming big dreams.

Yep. Same as the yanks. Not sure about the Ozzies.

Spuds are going to go into freefall , their squad is paper thin and cannot survive a couple of suspensions or injuries , and we need to put the Dippers in their place in a couple of weeks and nip their optimism in the bud . The Goons will buckle under the pressure again , Pep is calm and collected and will be enjoying watching Arteta falling apart on the touchline and in after match interviews , their players and fans just havent got the bottle to win a league title, maybe a good cup team and that is all.
