we're already there ...we only wanted a club that tries...I don't think anyone can say that isn't now a reality.

Will success come ? Maybe we have to wait and see.

****ing trying I'd like to win something before death.

Some people don't give a **** about such things, you depending on the hour of the day, some of the old boys, Amanda Staveley etc.
 
Pep football is awesome to watch tbf, when Mourinho was winning everything with Chelsea the football was an absolute yawn fest, likewise Man U were consistent but dull under Fergie.

I fins it boring personally... I actually like Howes style, but it's not suitable. The fact is Man City are the blueprint of what is required and I dont find it entertaining.
 
I find it dull and boring. Passing for the sake of it at times whilst the opposition nearly always turn up to not lose.

Yeah and the ruthless anti dribbling aspect along with just keeping the ball for the last 15 minutes and not risk anything.. basically not trying to score...... unfortunately it is the right way.

I definitely want a pot I just don't think we'll win one unless we're in the conference league. That will do for me.

That's the oppositions fault tbf.

Compared to Mourinho and Fergie it's far better. And when Leicester won the league it was all counter attack, great for them to win it, but the football was dull.

Yes. I wish teams would just give it a go at them. They concede goals when teams do.

Villa destroyed them with a high press.

We have done the same. But most teams just go 5-5-0 and try and nick a point.

People say it’s good because Man City can’t break them down. But eventually they do.

The great Pep can also throw on 5 players worth more than the other club when the already shutter clubs players are getting tired and then everyone acts like he's a genius.
