Match Day Thread Manchester City vs Southampton Sat 26th, 3pm at the Etihad

We need a route 1 manager. We actually have great tools for it.

 

Battling display in defeat. Can't complain. But we all know that we'll follow it by failing to deliver vs Everton and Wolves.

 

FT: Manchester City 1-0 Southampton

 

1-0 FT.

 

FT

 

1-0 counts as a win for me

 

Predictable valiant defeat against top opposition - Tick

Losses to Everton and Wolves surely to come.

 

Bottom of the league. Wonder if we'll move off it got the rest of the season.

Great opportunity for it in next two weeks.

 

At least Ipswich bottled it I suppose.

 

Great result all things considered. Bottom of the league (can’t believe we weren’t already tbf)

 

Ok .

Close but no cigar

Next 2 games = 6 points

*** For US ***

 

Yes and no. They were down to 10 men after 69 minutes but still equalised.

 

Wolves moving onto two points, and in doing so have finally ended their horrid run of fixtures.

Twice in PL history have sides survived with two points after nine games.

Never before has a side survived with one point after nine games.

 

?? We were weren’t we? Not that it makes much difference. There’s no doubting we are the worst team in the PL but ….. the next 2 games will define the rest of the season.

 

Ipswich are a proper relegation scrap team. We are the fencing team off to war with epees drawn.

 

Edit. Just seen Brentford 4-3

 

Wolves were but drew today, so on 2 points now.

 

Nah Wolves were on GD but they got a point today.

 

Well, there’s only one way now and that’s up. From all accounts I can’t see RM’s position is in anymore jeopardy than this time last week. Next two PL matches will be crunch time, I think. Although a poor display v Stoke on Tuesday won’t help for sure.

 

Fastest Prem hat trick
Fastest Prem goal
First team to stay up in the Prem after one point in 9 ?
Records are there to be broken.
