Babylon Posted 15 January 2016 Posted 15 January 2016 I've not got a problem with Watford getting some credit. They've had a fantastic season considering what was said about them in pre-season. Clever managed with a lot of very good players. Genuinely think Ighalo is one of the best forwards in the division. Neither have I, from the start of the season I thought they, Arsenal and Spurs were perhaps the most impressive teams. You could tell they were exceptionally well coached in how they set up... still think we had harder fixtures
foxfanazer Posted 15 January 2016 Posted 15 January 2016 I've got a horrible feeling that me taking the piss out of my Man United supporting friends when Aguero scored that goal is gonna bite me in the arse come May. Imagine if we went into the final weekend of the season still with a chance of winning it with Arsenal and Man City! Hopefully Chelsea would let us win!
Les-TA-Jon Posted 15 January 2016 Posted 15 January 2016 Injury table, also 2nd. Mental. Arsenal and Man City with 14 and 20 players injured respectively and yet they are 1st and 3rd. Us and half of the division would drop like a stone with a record like that.
AKCJ Posted 15 January 2016 Posted 15 January 2016 Ighalo is the first striker I've ever seen bully Huth and Morgan and that takes some doing. He was superb.
Foxxed Posted 15 January 2016 Posted 15 January 2016 ****ing hell - that Amartey video. I did think maybe we'd bought him to replace Wasyl, but I think we may be using him a little differently after seeing that. Still be interesting to see if he's more CB or midfield for us.

gurru991 Posted 15 January 2016 Posted 15 January 2016 The top four have the best goal difference in the league right now & I don't think that's a coincidence. Will goal difference decide the league this year. LCFC have the worst of the top four at present.

Corky Posted 15 January 2016 Posted 15 January 2016 Neil Custis is milking this Van Gaal comment isn't he? Interview on TalkSport, newspaper column, Sky News chat. Probably a Sunday paper interview with "MY HELL" in the headline coming soon.
Dan Posted 15 January 2016 Posted 15 January 2016 Neither have I, from the start of the season I thought they, Arsenal and Spurs were perhaps the most impressive teams. You could tell they were exceptionally well coached in how they set up... still think we had harder fixtures I thought they were unfairly written off simply because people equate knowing who someone is to being better than they actually are and vice versa. Watford signed far better players than Bournemouth in the summer but apparently if you're unknown and foreign you're automatically crap. We know as well as anyone that isn't the case. They were plucking out gems when in the Championship. The Udinese link clearly works. I mean who on earth is Odion Ighalo? A total unknown with a strange career trajectory, but he's bloody good. I think they'll stay up and will be there years.
Mark 'expert' Lawrenson Posted 15 January 2016 Posted 15 January 2016 Just watching the mid week MOTD and noticed the amount of empty seats at Man City for the Everton game, for some reason I always thought they sold out.
gurru991 Posted 15 January 2016 Posted 15 January 2016 Just watching the mid week MOTD and noticed the amount of empty seats at Man City for the Everton game, for some reason I always thought they sold out. Huge traffic jam in Manchester that night, lots of people late for the game

Guest Col city fan Posted 15 January 2016 Posted 15 January 2016 I've not got a problem with Watford getting some credit. They've had a fantastic season considering what was said about them in pre-season. Clever managed with a lot of very good players. Genuinely think Ighalo is one of the best forwards in the division. I thought so too up until Saturdays game at Southampton where Watford were utterly woeful. They had one shot all game (as in on or off target). All teams have their off days but basically Southampton (who have been pretty poor) battered them. It will be interesting to see how they bounce back. I agree though. Compared to what was being written about them pre season, they've done very well.

Just ask Arsenal!

They still don't sell out though. The expansion was really strange because they rarely sell out. When I was at Uni in Manc we could get tickets relatively cheap, I know people that went to games against the likes of Juventus. There fan base is big, and Maine Road used to be full every week, even when they were in league one (doesn't it hold the record!?), but I highly doubt they can fill 60,000. I've spoken to a lot of ex-Manchester City STH's who don't go anymore because the ground isn't full of 100% committed fans (like Maine Road was). (I wish they still played at Maine Road. Proper ground.)

I was just shocked at the amount of empty seats and the traffic jam would largely explain why, although I get what you're saying.

A mate was telling me its a way of getting round ffp rules and spending on new players because they have created the potential for more revenue, which is probably why west ham are moving to a ready made 100,000 seater even though they'll only ever half fill it.
MC Prussian Posted 15 January 2016 Posted 15 January 2016 As for the current injury table: Just shows what a fantastic medical team and sports science staff we have.
MC Prussian Posted 15 January 2016 Posted 15 January 2016 Already mentioned on previous page. Wymesy, you're my hero.
Guest CityFan 06 Posted 15 January 2016 Posted 15 January 2016 Credit to Watford for getting those awards. Ighalo has been fantastic and Flores is doing a great job there. As a general side, they are very impressive. Also interesting to see how we've not had many injuries at all this season. Our medical staff are top notch.

Is that Olympic stadium a 100,000 seater? Fookin hell, that's far too big for West Ham, but I've never paid much attention to it, so I didn't know it was that big. The atmosphere will be the worst ever I should imagine. 40,000 fans rattling around in there, will they us use one stand of something? The away allocation could be pretty big though. Be interesting to see how many away fans they could get in some games.
