    Good to see ex-City legends Hope Akpan & Danny 'Goal-a-game' Graham scoring for Blackburn vs Boro

    Or no matter what happens, be unhappy? Who are you, Gary Numan?
    Pick it apart if we lose by all means, but please stop picking it apart ffs when we win by less than five.
    How many off days do you think a team has in a season? None? 5? 10?
    Off days so far were Charlton, Leeds, PNE and Rotherham.
    Had a few so-so days, don't get me wrong, but over the course of a season every team has a few **** performances. That's football.

    Attention Drama Queens!
    Last seasons league table on 1st March, after 34 games! Of course it means nothing as it's a different season with different teams!

    So the teams 1st and 2nd at this time last year didn't get promoted, but those 3rd 4th and 5th did.

    Lot of home defeats for the promoted 3 there.

    Still, I imagine their fans lapped it up.

    It seems to have been much closer at the top last season with more teams involved. This season there is a bigger gap to those at the lower end of the playoff spots.

    Bournemouth where the most entertaining team ive seen in the Championship.
    Their football was terrific and they fully deserved to be champions.
    They also played without any fear at all.

    I know all the focus is on Leicester, but West Ham are only 1 point off the top 4 now.

    Yep, they're sneaking up on those places. It'd be hilarious to see both Manc clubs miss out as well as Chelsea.

    A Leicester 1 and Hammers 2 plus even Spurs 3 would be genuinely great.

    A top 4 containing Leicester, Spurs and West Ham sounds bloody great.

    Next season (or the one after that) might be the last for a while with four Premier League CL places. We're looking like dropping below Italy to fourth in the coefficient rankings at some point.

    Now this is what Kranka said afterwards.
    "It's taken 75-85 for us minutes to wake up. It's really difficult for me to understand why a team like Blackburn, who is in the middle of the table and which had played five games in the last two weeks, and their players wanted it more than us.

    Their players are jumping more than us, they were quicker than us, even when they were winning 2-0 they were desiring to score the third one.

    "When we are playing to get promotion, or at least to be in the play-offs, it is difficult to understand."

    So you tell me Mr ex Real Madrid why not change it at half time then. You can see it isnt working but oh no, continue with it its ****ing **** but you do nothing. Clueless completely clueless .You have a bench with good players on it. Change it at half time. Or even earlier. 20 minutes, you've not scored. Make a sub. Thats what you do. But oh no go a goal behind and then make a sub. Moronic.

    They interviewed a Spurs fan on SSN before the game and asked him what he thought of their title chances.
    He said the team at the top are the nobodies and Arsenal have gone.
    Bet he wished hed kept his mouth shut he was a typical cockney Dick

    <doh> Nice one. You might find City Man is adept at dressing gunshots wounds to the foot. <laugh>
