I don't really see his comments as that bad. He doesn't really come across as arrogant, I just see him making a point that he believes they will finish above us. We both have tough games remaining, and I think we'll both be watching each others results probably more than our own.
Another thing to not underestimate the impact of the Champions League. Forget all this extra games nonsense. Imagine our players going to the Bernabeu and - whatever happens - how much that will inspire them to make sure they make it back there again. Imagine City players turning up to play Kiev in Europe, only to find a half empty stadium - neither top tier of both main stands had a single person in them! - all that would have done would be to have inspired them to do is think: "What the hell am I doing at this silly little club! A wart on the end of the nose of Manchester United. I'm out of here next year - off to join a proper club!" That's what Tevez, Dzeko and Silva must all be saying to themselves.
And all the time, their minds distracted by the banner at Old Trafford counting the eons since they won anything at all. ANYTHING AT ALL! It's a disgrace for them to be in the Champions League, without fans or trophies. The whole of Europe, the whole of the World, in fact, is willing us on to keep them where they belong - in the purgatory of the Europa League. They will become the greatest laughing stock in world football that has ever existed!
None of that is anything to do with our respective run- ins.
