It's basically everyone below Southampton who are in the dogfight. Bring it on. We're in the mix with the majority of other Premier League clubs, and I'm just happy to be in this mix. Pre-season I would've been delighted with 13th place at this point, and - as I said before the season began - I'll be happy with a finish of 17th place or above. We're in a bad spell, but every team has one. We have a good squad now and plenty of winnable games at home. Let's not turn into whining ****ing pussies. A few of 'em started bleating last night, and they need silencing. ****s who think they know the team better than Brucie. ****ing poodles.
Agree with all that Polly. Can't remember one season in my 50 years watching City when we haven't gone through at least one bad patch. Better now than in March/April. Couldn't get to the game last night and had to watch on laptop but it looked to me like Palace had the rub of the green.
I think the last time I can remember a top flight team not having a bad spell was the Arsenal side who went through the 2004/4 season undefeated.
I don't think people are panicking. We're disappointed and frustrated because we've not played particularly well in two big matches. But that's a different thing entirely. Everyone is still behind Brucey and the lads, and of course we can still stay up.
With hindsight would you have preferred it if Brucey had set up a don't get beat team last night? That's 2 six pointers we've lost to them now! And it's pissed me off! :-(
Spot on Polly,nice to see the league pictured like that. I think we'll be ok, but I'm still " slightly" worried.
I would! But sometimes it's a case of settle for a point away & don't let them get the 3 points they've taken 6 points off us when they haven't deserved them! Especially at our place! It's like a 12 point swing!
Polly, there's no panic on Polly, there's no panic on Polly, there's no panic on With Steve Bruc-ie There you go mate...and keep the faith everyone!
In writing a song it's pretty decent. [video=youtube;9AlH2oYedfk]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9AlH2oYedfk[/video]
