There's no other nation with attackers and wingers as good as ours. 2

Well I think you do understand this attitude because you’ve explained it right there mate 😎👍 The top 4/6 is bloody hard to crack on a consistent basis, purely down to money, European status + power which isn’t earned overnight. It’s likely to be one club of ‘our stature’ that can get in there. So obviously I choose us
Jonezy Posted 27 February 2021 Posted 27 February 2021 West Ham pushed them all the way here. I am impressed.

We could really go to the euros playing exciting dominant football if Southgate had any ability as a manager! 2
FoxOnWheels Posted 27 February 2021 Posted 27 February 2021 Good result for us if we can get a draw Atleast then we won’t be any worse off than we were before this weeks games

Nah it'll be the same old sideways passing, Kane on corner duty, beat the crap sides and lose to any half decent country 3 1

I wouldn't be surprised as I remember last season people cheering on a CL rival against Man City as they wanted to finish second and put more value on that than securing 4th place at the risk of finishing 5th. A draw and a mass brawl resulting in a large number of suspensions for both sides. 2

What a shit show that would be

If they're to join us in the 4 or 6 they're more than welcome to come along for the ride as far as i'm concerned. The more teams pissing on the 'top' clubs and media's cornflakes the better.
Bats8711 Posted 27 February 2021 Posted 27 February 2021 It’s math people. Of course it’s POSSIBLE to catch man city. But what % chance would it go up if they dropped points today compared to % chance of us getting top 4 if they don’t?
The Guvnor Posted 27 February 2021 Posted 27 February 2021 Too many injuries for us to be serious title contenders, so a Man City win was the best result for us to maintain our top four position. 3

While there’s a chance (in my mind) I’m going to dream. Maybe I’m foolish but to me a draw means two points being handed to rivals rather than three. No, it's not impossible, but it's as close as damnit. It would take a near perfect run from us and a pretty big wobble from them for us to catch them. Neither of those things are very likely, never mind both. They've got far more strength in depth than us and they are absolutely flying. 20 straight wins for them now and a 13 point gap to 2nd place with games running out. I think that gap will only grow from here. In my opinion, the title race is as good as over. They will be useful for us because they will take points off our rivals for top 4. 1
Deeg67 Posted 27 February 2021 Posted 27 February 2021 Can only ROFL at any Leicester fan not thrilled Man C. won that match. 1
Corky Posted 27 February 2021 Posted 27 February 2021 What's all this West Ham and Slavia Prague love-in about? Because West Ham signed good players from them? It's like us wanting Monaco to do well because they gave us Tielemans or Le Havre with Mahrez. Bit odd. 1

Mike Oxlong Posted 27 February 2021 Posted 27 February 2021 Man City are like the kids in the school playground who decide that all the best players are going to take on the rest

Even assuming that Man City only average 2pts per game from here on in we would still need to win all of our last 13 games to overtake them. So even if we won every match between now and the end of the season we would still be odds against winning the title. I'll cheer the bottom half teams on when they play Man City in the hope they have a Liverpool type collapse and we capitalise but hen they're playing the team below us in 4th place it's a no brainer where my loyalties lie. 1
Popular Post jayfox26 Posted 27 February 2021 Popular Post Posted 27 February 2021 The West ham game was the result we needed. Nobody is catching Man C now and we just need to focus on top 4. If anyone genuinely believes we can win the league with our injuries, our recent performances, how good Man C are and how far ahead they are, then you are deluded. We need Man U and the teams below us to drop points, forget Man C 8
M0901 Posted 27 February 2021 Posted 27 February 2021 Big fan of Man City’s style. Good result for us. A win tomorrow is massive.
