    It’s a simple question mate. I’m not flopping I’m asking a question. I haven’t even made my own comment on it yet.

    So feel free to make a comment in relation to the question. You’re an intelligent man. Answer the question. With reasons.

    Yes, because we are, we're 3 points off 4th place.

    Given our recent run, anyone who doesn't think we're doing ok is a lunatic.

    We probably will. We’ve done them twice already. City have our number every season and are clearly on the up. Howe got this woefully wrong, but he shouldn’t be having to pick Trippier, Schar, Dubs, etc.

    Not yet. Eddie is fine for now. You need to realise I am actually defending Howe today. He isn’t at fault at all.

    It’s getting harder and harder to get top 4 because most teams are getting better.

    We are in a position of it’s in our own hands now and that’s good.

    Let’s hope we beat Forrest and then we can go to anfield and hopefully get a result there also.

    Fingers crossed.

    No we don't. We don't HAVE to beat Forest in the next game at all. And if we don't it doesn't mean it's a poor season.

    Why? Cos they'll still be 11 league games to play after that game.

    Oh and we might win the league cup in a few weeks. But apparently if we don't win the next game it's a poor season.

    But let’s just leave it at that.

    Teams are getting better? Yeah like us, we've got massively better in the last 3 years.

    So our position is good now? A few seconds ago it would be a poor season if we don't beat Forest.

    You're up and down like a jack in the box.

    Yes we do. If we lose that game and lose against Liverpool then we are likely going to be around 9th or 10th position.

    Yes we could claw it back. And I’m hoping we do win them games.

    Let’s see what happens.

    The cup final is a one off opportunity and we could do it. I’m confident we can.

    Just never got going today
    not the same team that bombarded Arsenal and others
    no energy by the looks of it, but I don't know why when City have been ****ty
    the last 5 or 6 games
    I expected more

    but we move on

    Oh my life mate. Go and get a pint of lager and relax. It’s all good.

    Im saying we could easily win the cup and maybe finish 5th. That would be epic.

    If we lose the final and finish 10th……… meh.

    The results went well for us.. That's a good side now and other sides will suffer the same wounds.

    Think we need a result vs forest, as Liverpool always beat us. All eyes on the cup final really.

    I've already got a beer.

    It's just silly to say the whole season hinges on the next game.
