If we beat Bournemouth, a draw between Chelsea and Forest will be no good, unless Villa get beaten at OT
I personally want Villa to beat those cunts in the final game. I'm glad Chelsea beat them too! Just so they finish the season on less than 40 points. Petty? Yes. We just do our own bit.

At the end of last season if someone had said " next season will be the shittest PL for years & oh, by the way, City will struggle to even get top 5", you'd have thought them mad ha.
No probably not but by December it was plainly obvious to all who weren't wearing blue tinted specs we were in big trouble. We had a chance to right the ship but slept walked thru most of Jan, until we panicked and bought big at the end of the window, of which most are nowhere near the team right now.

We were so well run for so long but the last 18 months/2 years has been poor, specifically in the transfers both in and out. Huge summer ahead, issues at GK, RB, LB, AM, RM, LW and a back up striker (Marmoush isn't a back up). Plus a lot of dead wood to move on. We wont fix all that that in one window.

No champs league, we can forget Wirtz and things become very challenging.

Big questions need to be asked if we don’t finish top 5. Like how we can be 6th on January 1st - then proceed to spend £200m in the transfer window - more than every other PL club combined - and still finish 6th.

Shit recruitment, Pep fucking around, Board focused on 115, too many eyes off the ball at City.
Agreed. We’re a top level professional football club with 8 centre half's, and zero legitimate fullbacks at the club. Where do you even start with that? Lets hope we nick 5th, if we don't its a disaster!!

Recruitment was fine. Pep just decided to use the old guard.
 
Tuesdays game is looking very dicey. If we win today they’ll be some celebrating from some players, making them
Physically not at their best, if we lose confidence will be low. Need two really big performances, showing some character. Fingers crossed.
If we win today then they’ll be able to hold the celebrations until the end of the season. They’re all very heavily incentivised in their contracts for CL football and most would be seeing a 15-25% pay decrease if we don’t achieve it.
 
what I didnt calculate with is this weakened sides from Tottenham and rags and guarantee 3 points to whoever they play with. also Liverpool's showing at Chelsea away was brutal shit, that and yesterday game gave Chelsea's horror last few games into quite manageable sadly.

other thing now as I see all teams going to CL or having chance to go to CL got 6 points in two games vs rags.
Forest did it, Barcodes did it, Arse and Chelsea and dippers did it. even fucking Spurs did it. Villa still to play them but beat them at home.

while Pep managed to get 1 point vs them , at home we fucking lost to this shower of shit white away derby recently we refused to have a go at them simply. such a shit...

if we miss out on CL place I put it down to absolute fuck all vs rags in two games. everyone else worthy doing 6 points vs them but us only 1 point. nonsense.

the Bournemouth game will not be easy. morale will be brutal low if we lose to Palace. if we win hope Grealish wont take the squad for drinks and bender. we played last year FA cup as hangover and cost us a lost.

us fucking up vs Soton brought us back into the mix big time instead of stepping away from the the rest.

If it happens and don't think it will,pointlees picking out individual games. Over 38 games we wern't quite good enough. It is what it is.

I think Pep will have them in early tomorrow regardless of whether we win and lose. I think the partying for four in a row was the release of four years of unbelievable tension and a bit of cockiness about how easy United would be.

I’m positive Grealish was still drunk by the final. It seems like Pep still hasn’t forgiven him.

And the old guard, given what they achieved, deserve it imho. Even if they do fail with it one season out of 5,6,7.

Many will disagree, and yes I wouldn't mind one bit if he had put results first. But they do deserve some loyalty and I am happy to show it.
 
Well, we're are up at the very peak of the elite - it's a long long way down to the ravine occupied by the scum et al.
If they end up in the CL and us in the Thursday cup it'll be hard to bear.
The fact its the top five who now qualifies is a huge gift horse and if we look it in the mouth we have no one to blame but ourselves. That said I would love to win the Europa League to complete the three main euro trophies, so every cloud.
 
Further to the above, didn't know where else to put this, sorry. Couldn't resist though.

My how the times have changed for those cunts!

If they ever do a remake of the bar scene in Star Wars, plenty to work with in that photo. Definitely a support with the most fans but the least mirrors

But the most recent game probably will, and indeed should be picked out. It screamed out loud how poor we have been this season.
