    One chance? Scored, hit the bar and had one cleared off the line?

    Its delusion like this that shows a manager is on borrowed time!

    HA'WAY THE LADS

    MACKEMS ATTACKEM

    If someone asked me to choose a win and a loss the next two games I'd pick the win against the filthy fookers up the road.

    That said Xhaka and Sadiki play against city for me.
    Agree with what's been said, they will play to avoid getting carded.
    I noticed Le fee going in more on tackles against Liverpool.

    We need a strong squad out against City and they'll want to play in this.

    Concentrate on this game and even if we lose Xhaka and Sadiki for the gravy slobs we've got players to deal with them :emoticon-0148-yes:

    Arteta was the same when they were unable to just turn up and beat us as expected aswell.

    The self entitlement from these so called elite clubs is an embarrassment, they expect teams to just roll over and take a battering from them.
    I always knew it went on, but Ive never really took much notice till this season how annoying it is to hear how hard done by the managers act after a game.

    4 points from Bournemouth at home and Liverpool, Man City away is brilliant for a newly promoted team. 5 or more would be incredible.

    Im sure the lads will play there today with absolutely no fear. A defeat against this lot won't change that attitude either.

    Just something interesting I’ve noted- we’ve only been beaten once by any of the teams in the top half of the table - granted we haven’t played everyone yet but that’s fantastic for a newly promoted side

    I'm mostly concerned about the yellow card situation re Xhaka and Sadiki.
    If they clear this hurdle I'll be satisfied - even if we lose.

    Just a random thought thats come to me, but i wonder what Michut is thinking now after we parted ways with him and he tried to make out he was too good for us and he turned down the opportunity to stay permanently

    Don't think he would've been getting a game had he stayed personally. He was a bit soft, moaning after his first game for us about scraped shins

    Yeah i know mate. I liked him up until his comments after he left, i think it upset his ego we weren't trying to keep him permanently so he tried to make out it was all down to him not wanting to stay because he’s capable of better
