Steve_Walsh5 Posted 2 April 2014 Share Posted 2 April 2014 There seems to have been a bit of mutual respect between Man City fans and us since the FA Cup game a couple if years back. I know a lot of Man City fans like leicester as an away game. There's a working men's club in Aylestone that is run by a Man city fan and they always pile in there when playing us.

AKCJ Posted 2 April 2014 Share Posted 2 April 2014 http://www.thefootballnetwork.net/boards/read/s37.htm?38,14669563 Seriously? 7 points in with 7 games to go. Stranger things have happened in football, but I don't think they'll do it (even if they had Ings, Vokes and Trippier). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inckley fox Posted 2 April 2014 Share Posted 2 April 2014 If we win our next two it's very, very unlikely that they will catch us. We're 7 points clear with 7 to go, so 6 more points would mean they have to get 13 from 7, maybe more, to catch us, and 13 points from 7 games is pretty much in line with their season points per game average so far. Of course it could happen. If we fail to beat Wednesday and/or Brighton, and they beat Watford (which is no formality) a lot of people will be tempted to back Burnley. But for me 10 points will most likely get us the title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl the Llama Posted 2 April 2014 Share Posted 2 April 2014 (edited) Love how they are all preachy about wages and debt... one look at their accounts and their wages are £15m and they lost £7m last year. Fair play to yourself too for putting them straight. The most recent post on there (at time of writing - #54) pretty much disproves the claim he's trying to make - that 'of course you're winning with your wage bill' sentiment a few of them like to bandy about. If that's the case, why are the teams he listed with higher wage budgets than ours so far behind us? It's sad that some of them can't enjoy the positive things going on at their club without becoming bitter at the one single team doing better than them - at the end of the day they're going straight up, why do they feel the need to invent reasons why their promotion is much better than ours and it's only because they're so unfairly done by that we're top?

Stinkenzo Posted 3 April 2014 Share Posted 3 April 2014 I don't get why people speak of us having already won the league. It's only 7pts and although we keep grinding points out we've not been that convincing recently. Little scare against Blackpool, scare against Yeovil, What makes me confident is their injuries. If it wasn't for that I don't think the gap would be anymore than 7pts at the end of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fox92 Posted 5 April 2014 Share Posted 5 April 2014 He's had hard work and stress getting us into this position. Getting rid of the rubbish the previous manager brought, along with their wages, and building a tight squad. Fantastic job. He won't go crazy like Warnock though. He signed 12 or 13 (maybe 14?) players when QPR were promoted. Stupid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deucalion Posted 5 April 2014 Share Posted 5 April 2014 I think that's a pretty good write up from Warnock to be fair. He gives genuine and informed opinions about our players rather than the usual tripe we hear. And he did better than Harry and kept QPR up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJS Posted 5 April 2014 Share Posted 5 April 2014 "I know he spent money before last season"[/size] Did he? Yes. One of the reasons many fans were so pissed off last season. Whilst we haven't spunked away the cash others seem to believe there is this notion among some City fans that Nige has done this on a shoe-string. He hasn't.

Whilst we haven't spunked away the cash others seem to believe there is this notion among some City fans that Nige has done this on a shoe-string. He hasn't. 1.5 Mil on Knockaert. 500k on James. 500k on De laet. 500k on Drinkwater? Konchesky, Free. 1 Million on Wood. 1 Million on Morgan. Am I missing some? That's 5 million, compare that to us the season before where we spent that much on one player being Matt Mills says it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wood was around a mil aswell. Lets face it, he's spent so little and got the best out of them, great times for the club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
