In a bar in Ibiza, Liverpool, city, United, Leeds fans. All getting on cos it’s a bar in Ibiza.

This one Liverpool fan comes in, off his face giving it large with them 1 up. At 2-1 he cries and goes off to change out of his Liverpool top. At 2-2 comes back with a T-shirt on back to front. Total knob.

City favourites now.

 

[Postman Pep]

Ill get some hate but I genuinely think we've been the best team this season (Fewest conceded, best gd).

More importantly most points aswell. You were statistically the best side for a long way last season ...;-)

Ill get some hate but I genuinely think we've been the best team this season (Fewest conceded, best gd).

If you were the best team, your manager would believe you were the best team and your shit house team wouldn’t have been time wasting from the 2nd minute a week ago at our gaff.

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

If we win the league this season it will be the best of the lot - a somewhat transitional season, big injuries and two challengers rather than the usual one

That’s a big call, pal!

 

[wolviedinho]

Let’s be honest for a min…

City should have been out of the race this season with:

1. Our indifferent form.
2.treble hangover.
3.going for 4 titles.
4. Overall mental and physical exhaustion.
5. Relying on a league 2 player in haaland.
6. Still 3 trophies to win.
7. Fair share of injuries especially to key players.
8. Brutal March fixture list.
9. Losing Gundo and Mahrez.
10. Signing Philips leaving Rodri no break again.

Yet here we are. Fucking hell city!!!

 

[Axel Freed]

They’ve had four blanks this season and we’ve had two. That’s usually the indicator. No point knocking 6-7 past relegated teams if you can’t score in half a dozen games.

True to an extent and obviously with 7 games left GD can alter significantly. We could easily put 5 or 6 past Luton again given the rub of the green.

 

[ChicagoBlue]

Looking at that penalty incident again, Wank Bis doesn't actually catch Elliott with his challenge but the dipper falls down on his leg, still a stupid challenge but looks like the dippers cheated again.

Said it immediately! Elliot stuck his right leg out to get the contact and buy the foul. AWB simply slid in front of him to stop him getting a shot off.

As I said earlier, Taylor COULD NOT have seen a foul, because he had a horrid view, but I think he took his cue from Elliot’s appeal and AWB’s lack of any emotion, as if he was guilty!

In the end, though, it’s down to VAR to help Taylor, but they shit a brick when they see the time, who the ref is, and what a big decision it is…so they pointed and made the infamous no-decision!!

 

[Odd socks]

MacAlister looking like his legs have hit the wall, been running their midfield for a good spell but today he looked out of energy.

If you were the best team, your manager would believe you were the best team and your shit house team wouldn’t have been time wasting from the 2nd minute a week ago at our gaff.

Best team overall. I even said you guys are the better team player for player. We played Liverpool off the park at home and could have won at Anfield. Against you guys if we tried we'd get opened up by your midfield.

We werent winning against you at the Etihad and we learned from last season when u thrashed us 4-1.

 

[jrb]

We need the dippers to slip up again, as well.

That was the only downside of the result. Still, 2 points dropped by the Scousers.

 

[simmo]

It’s going to come down to who deals best with the European schedule in amongst the league matches.

Some of the teams left to play will have a whole week to prepare. Ideal scenario for tv viewing.

 

[John Wayne]

That’s a big call, pal!

And a wrong one, in my opinion. 2019, in the face of a ferocious opponent, tops the lot for best achievement. Part of a treble, we had De Bruyne missing for 75% of the season, achieved the second highest points total ever at that time, and won our last 14 games when 13 wins and a draw would not have got the job done.

 

[Newman123]

If we win the league this season it will be the best of the lot - a somewhat transitional season, big injuries and two challengers rather than the usual one

I think winning the season with it being this close and two other real challengers definitely brings in more emotions. Feels like a real Rocky moment.

 

[SCEtoAUX]

I think we'll win all of our seven remaining games.

I am certain Arsenal will drop points, the question is whether the dippers will. Can't see them getting nine points from matches against Villa, Spurs and West Ham when they couldn't beat the rags.

We're favourites with the bookies again, we know how to win this thing. I reckon we will.

 

[valleyblue]

Whoever wins the title will only win it on the last day.

To be fair, we are not bad at that..

 

[BringBackSwales]

That’s a big call, pal!

I think it’s huge having 2 teams chasing you, and tbf two extremely good teams

This is a parody right? Or are you being serious?

 

[blueballs84]

It was probably too much to ask but I think we may have needed United to hang on for the win there. Then I believe we could have caught Liverpool on goal difference.

Not sure they are going to drop any further points now.

I think Arsenal will drop pts.

We just need to win and hope now.

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

All a bit 'cosy' at the top! We must have broken the record for legs, ankles 'n knees getting in the way of cert goals when yer see that the Arse are eleven goals better off!
