Watford (a) post-match

[andyhinch]

I think most of us have made a twat of ourselves at one time or another on these glorious threads.



my teams just won 6 - 0 away from home I`ve got my magnanimous head on.

I always try to endear myself on these occasions by calling posters fan boy's when they pull me up, seems to work ;-)

on that soccer Saturday they have the prediction game,one woman got 5 correct scores and guessed correctly that we would win but got the score wrong,think you can win 250k or something like that,also about 1300 people guessed the correct score for us :)

I think what is interesting is that Pep is beginning to play the same system he installed at Barca. Two attacking wing backs, one center back that pushes the ball from the back (Pique/Stones), another one that cleans up the mess (Mascherano/Otamendi), a 6 that plays in front of the defense (Busquets/Fernandinho), two playmakers in front of him running the show (Xavi/de Bruyne and Iniesta/Silva) and 3 strikers.
I think the key is how de Bruyne and David have gotten used to their new position, a position they had never played at before.

Thanks! After supporting City for so long, I just can't help thinking it!

We've had two appalling sendings-off and Bournemouth should have had two of them in one game against us. I think we are now referee-proof. (Doesn't mean they won't stop trying but I'm relaxed about it now.)

An awesome attacking performance. Dare I say it. We are scaring them all to death!

 

[CelesteItis]

Memory serves me right it was Dinho.

Ta.
Kun will wear it.

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

How did Not Very Cleverly manage to escape without at least a yellow today? And that tackle on KDB had malice in it.

Can't remember a side winning it on 19 Pts.

Dippers do it every year

Agree with much of that, although to be fair Stones probably "cleans up the mess" of Otamendi more than the other way round!
