I really don't understand why they compare the two managers. There is no point. They are completely different. But for the record, if Pep was unfortunate enough to do the job there (probably at gunpoint), then yes; he would make that team a lot better than that moaning **** they've got there at the moment.
I watched this earlier. Basically trying their best to act like there's a debate but basically coming to the conclusion that while Mourinho is a very good manager, Pep has revolutionized football.



Also probably the first time Sky has ever had a debate involving us that actually has two ex-City players on and no rags (even if one of them is Danny Mills).
 
It really speaks to their arrogance to think that by copying the tactics of mid-table sides like Huddersfield and Southampton, not to even mention, relegation-threatened, West Ham, this lot felt that they could become title contenders.
They were so far off that, at times, it's no exaggeration to say that they had no business being on the same pitch as City, let alone expecting to be considered a challenge. The pity is that we didn't put them to the sword, as comprehensively as we should have. Neither of our strikers are particularly in form and that, alongside some over-elaboration on our part, let them off the hook.
Given the way Jose cracked up afterwards, it would have been epic to see how he'd have reacted had we been really at it and put four or five past them.
 
I heard the raggies were fighting amongst themselves outside the ground after the game. Tooooo funny.

We will leave the pasting till we play the return fixture at the Etihad : )
 
I think they may finish 5th.

Spurs starting to get some form, Arsenal too and chavs are better than them.

5th is very much possible.
In a disjointed league, apart from us, they have been consistently the 2nd best side so far in the division. Spurs, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool have blown hot and cold recently. They will finish in the top 3. The others are more inconsistent.

I hope you are wrong. For my money there is nothing between them.
 
They are still 2nd and have just had their arse handed to them by their rivals. Top 3 easy.
On paper, to use an already overused term, i would usually agree straight off the bat. However the toxic atmosphere that builds around Mourinho could easily combust if they drop a bit and their fans and players are left looking upon a tangle around 3rd-4th come the end of January.

Everything about them feels "bare minimum" at the moment and a couple more bad results could tip Mourinho and the squad and fans over the edge.

It would though need the others stop blowing hot and cold so often.
 
the perfect senario would be for us to win the title vs the rags on the 7th April, hopefully the Rags and Spurs are fighting it out for 4th place at the time.

We batter the rags at home and then the following week put a team of kids and reserves out at Spurs and take a defeat to push the rags out of the CL.

Edit.
