Of the others outside the big 7 in the league, only two teams have spent more since they got promoted. They've got a net spend almost identical to us, and we've won the league and had champions league football. 25 minutes ago, Fox92 said: While in the football league I know Wilson was £3mill but not sure about other spendings. When they got promoted they made the largest loss in the league by a considerable distance. £39m!!, their wages to turnover was 237%, which is absolutely ridiculous. They made a £15m loss in league one as well, hey've been bankrolled far beyond their means for years and outspent most of their rivals. You still have to do a good job, but if anyone thinks this is small club done good, then they are wrong. Them and say, Burnley aren't even comparable.

But the point stands that on a domestic level, they're going to be breaking some records this season so if some people feel they're the best club side we've seen in England they have plenty of support for their argument. yeah, fair enough.

Perfect week to treble your captain if he's playing twice. I was kinda in a hurry and didn't give it much thought sadly. But i still have my bench boost,TC and wild card so i will try to use them the best i can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted 16 March 2018 Share Posted 16 March 2018 I agree with the fox. Man city are overhyped and it seems it's the same on FT. They are easily the best team in the PL but that's because all the teams in the PL have serious flaws at the moment - for the top teams they are mostly defensive flaws. Man city will win the PL, they may win the CL, but they need to in order to prove how good they are because even the Spanish teams in the CL are in a trough year, this season. Failure to win the CL will show that Man City are only a very good team and not quite the "greatest of all time" which even some FTers are so laughably saying.

When Spurs played West Ham on that Thursday near new year because of the tubes on new years day being on reduced service, it was lumped in with the games played that following weekend and you doubled up on spurs and West ham players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingsX Posted 16 March 2018 Share Posted 16 March 2018 1 hour ago, the fox said: My point is, they are a very good team but people are acting like they are the best team in the world and the season isn't even finished yet. You’ve clearly stated “they are not that impressive” and are starting to backtrack. You must have learned, if you’ve elaborated an outlandish argument and painted yourself into a corner, the FT thing to do is double down on it. Then not return to the topic after it blows up on you, until you think everybody forgot. This board that never forgets. That way you leave yourself the option of insufferable bragging in case it proves out. Just look at how well this all worked for Donald Trump ! Anyway, the PL season is finished at the top. Man City have utterly outclassed the field and are having a victory lap. IMO their chances in the CL (and the matches themselves) ought to be discussed in that thread. I think a final between Barca and Man City would be the most watched club match of all time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sammy Posted 16 March 2018 Share Posted 16 March 2018 Can't work out what Mourinho's aim of that 12 minute rant is. Like Pearson I view him as someone smart enough to use those moments with the press to take the pressure off the players, so my only thought is that he is trying to create a siege mentality within his squad before a push for a title next year - but for me that will not happen unless he changes the way they play. They lack width or any forward penetration to be in with a serious chance of winning the league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StriderHiryu Posted 16 March 2018 Share Posted 16 March 2018 Mourinho is a classic narcissist. A bit like Wenger he’s got worse as a manager over the years which I think is down to his self obsession. His best teams were when he was most hungry with Chelsea and Inter. He just can’t bare to face up to his own mistakes and always deflects criticism. Had he apologised for the Sevilla defeat and promised to be more attacking then the result would have been disappointing but accepted. He’s just digging his own grave right now by being his own worst enemy. Fun to watch this happen as a neutral though! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the fox Posted 16 March 2018 Share Posted 16 March 2018 (edited) I like mourinho. He's not your media friendly, fake manager and honestly a breath of fresh air. He talks a big game but he rattles coaches. He absolutely murdered Conte this season when he went on and on about how childish it is to have a verbul fight with conte for 10-15 minutes and he said that he is sorry just to merk him in the end with the "at least i wasn't accused of match fixing" line Nothing better watching a jose team managing a 1-0 win with 30-something% possession, less than 250 passes and 2 shots against that overhyped baldy and the pashon merchant at pool Edited 16 March 2018 by the fox 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
