Honestly, I think that's fair. City definitely have to be favourites now having got past one of their two biggest potential stumbling blocks. With United having a few problems at the moment, City have to be favourites for that game .
I think you're right. They're not as bad as they've looked recently. They could snap out of it at any time.
They went on a strong run when OGS first showed up. They have the ability, if not the leadership or mental fortitude. The problem now is mental, they've developed a losing mentality. They may or may not snap out of it before the season ends.
So should they beat the odds and take points from you tonight you would agree you're not worthy of being champions?
Whats that movie where the dog clamps onto the guys scrotum and won't let go? I'm sure its one of those ****e US comdey movies.

The mancs have defended their title several times with Chelsea the only other who did it once. It is amazingly difficult to win second time in a row. That's why with our lead at the time of the year I was so confident we would be champions. We can still do it but we really need one of the last three to do us a favour. None of the teams will need anything by the time they play City. It is looking quite depressing with each week but we need to be positive. This league has the habit of surprising us.
