The Official: Laugh At Man City Thread

I bet they don't

I bet they will

I bet they will

Well as long as they dont make up more than 5 points its all good. BTW which games do you see us dropping points in?

True, but I suspect more and more teams will, there aren't many negative park the bus type teams in the league these days

I sort of disagree. A lot of teams you expect to see in the bottom 3rd of the table are built more towards holding tight defensively and sucker punch you on the counter or set pieces, rather than move the ball and create plays like Norwich did.

The other teams, however, should indeed see how freaking bad City is defensively these days and have a go at them.

I hope they don't gain any, but I think they'll win all 5 and we have potential to drop points in all bar the Sheffield U game.  Don't expect us to drop points in all, but 1 or 2 of them is a distinct possibility.

Our next 5 are not easy games, but if we play as well as we have been then there is no reason why we can't win all of them, the one I'm most nervous about is Chelsea away, they are a tricky team at the moment, Sheff Utd away should be a win, Leicester Home is very winnable, Man Utd away, always a tricky fixture but we are due a win there and have the players to do it, Spurs home again tricky but I've not been that impressed with them so far this season.
From Citeh's matches there are plenty of banana skins AND plenty of teams who will attack them with the exception of Palace who you just can't bank on, they might just roll over like last season. Everton away could certainly be tricky if Everton finally find a bit of form which they surely must do sooner or later

City will gain more points than us the next 5 league matches.

Like they did in the first 5 matches? Oh wait.

It’s pointless looking ahead at who has what fixture because as Norwich proved, anything can happen. You expect us to beat Sheffield United but for all we know they could get a shock result.

I’d have thought that having gotten 97 points last season would be enough for people to stop saying things like “expect City to get more points in the next however many games”, based purely on the assumption they have easier games. Our first 5 games have been no easier than theirs and yet we’ve got 5 more points.

It will provided teams take the same approach as Norwich and have a go at them.

To be honest that Norwich game could be the blessing we’ve all needed. The only team actually expected to match and look to realistically beat City is us. Last season it looked like teams had accepted defeat vs City before the game had even started and they’d be games like Burnley or whoever that would literally have every man behind the ball and stood defending their box. Now Norwich have shown that if you try and play some football and actually have a go at them, you can force them into mistakes and have some success against them. Teams looking at us match and beat City will do nothing for their own self belief because of how far ahead us two are, seeing a team like Norwich though gives some belief to the other teams. Too many teams showed them too much respect last season.

City 8-0 up against Watford.

Jesus, he must be thick? Surely the FA have to ban him for that, Suarez got how many games for the Evra incident and that was heavily disputed! No argument that can be made on this

Wonder if Sterling will come out and do an interview about this one...

Racism? He doesn't look like the white Conguito man does he?

I'm all for calling out racists and even more for calling them out and then punishing them accordingly. But this?

If they paid a settlement then what is the issue? Surely its been settled.

Somebody mentioned that to me yesterday, apparently dates back to when Rodgers was in charge.

Absolutely no media hype around this though because in the words of Dickie Keys, it was just banter.

Playing their A-Team...the greedy fuckers, hope some of them get nobbled

The cartoon jab in it's self isn't racist,hugely inappropriate in public but that video is racist as F**k.and not something you share in public say it in you're friends ear maybe? But Mendy,Sterling ,Barnes should call it out.

Tickets going for £15 at the emptyhad tonight Pep calling out the fans he must look up the east lancs at Klopp and go green around the gills

Pep once again repeating how he doesn’t have to win the CL.

Of course you do! These clubs hire him specifically for that, pathetic how he tries to push this narrative.
