now 2 points to top and 8 to 5th. We can just focus on the title race at this point, after all we are now safe from relegation.
They played.. watford utd west ham southampton spurs so it should be considered a bit ominous that spurs and utd gave them no real challenge. they have a 100% record since they played us. We have a 100% record outside of arsenal draw... We can't expect city to drop any points against anyone outside top 5. If they draw with cheslea...... AND we beat bournemouth then we will be level top!
just one point. some people (general point not specifically not606) seem to be cracking up under some perceived pressure of this race. I don't get it. We are now 8 points clear of 5th with superior GD. the longer this run goes irrespective of city the more sure we will be of CL next year. There should be no pressure in this. We can really focus and go for wins. If anything as champions city should be the ones to be feeling it. They are expected to win League cup, FA cup, CL and league. We are out of League cup already. We will prob **** the FA cup cos klopp seems to do it every year... who knows what we will do v napoli but that come then ends til feb. My view is we can just focus on league after next week and give our all.
To be fair though bothutd and spurs panicked rather than played football. Strange to see spurs I particularly role over
Good in a way Chelsea getting beat tonight..............they will want to correct that at the weekend
True, hoping utd pull something out the bag is a waste of time. Spurs just look like a rabbit in the headlights when they played city, I thought arsenal where just played very well on the day.
Arsenal absolutely blew them off park. Credit to them for finding a foothold until ht. Emry destroyed poch in the tactics then. The reality though is spurs lost to city, us and arsenal.... and strangely Watford away. They've won all others So they are 8 points off the top as theyve lost v the top 4. It's got to be said.... that puts them firmly in the second tier
Same old same old. Everyone on the planet knows he is a lousy rotten filthly cheat, except refs. Fernandinho doesn't have the same nastiness but he gets away with murder too. I don't quite know why after so many years refs are not specifically watching for him. I half think it's cos he's not mouthy or aggressive towards them.
Spurs are massively over hyped because of Kane and Ali. They've had some good results, especially in Europe, but only when they had nothing to lose. Where would you rank the sides, early days for arsenal and Chelsea but have a punt.
My view has not changed much since preseason. City will win it by 8-10 points but one can hope they lose momentum with a long cl run. We are doing ok but not as a unit, alisson and vvd are utterly spectacular. Clearly beating all lower sides. I said arsenal would be good primarally due to aubameyang and lacazette bid g in the club fully but torriera has been huge for them. I backed emry to get top 4. Spurs v Chelsea. I felt Chelsea have an excellent first 11 and still do. I just feel spurs will run out of legs at some point. That said spurs usually throw all comps and are only chasing 4th or whatever from Feb to may. Chelsea will be trying to win something so Europa could hurt them. City Lfc Arsenal Chelsea Spurs Imo...
I reckon this plays a massive part in refs attitude toward players. If your a mouthy prick and the media take against you your chances of getting carded increase 10 fold.
More or less agreed, maybe swap arsenal and Chelsea, but not much in it. I feel like there should be a gap between spurs and the top four, I don't think they are anywhere near the quality of squad as the rest.
