Yes, I read that and thought it was a good article. Though quite depressing, when you get to the final bit, that 'the case against' Man City is basically 'can they be arsed to win it again this season'! (Probably about right though)

I’d say the case against Man City is the fact they’ve lost Gundogan and Mahrez who would often produce ridiculous moments of brilliance in games and drag them through. 

Still pretty depressing though as that’s their only weakness.

Apart from the win last year at home and the previous year away and the two draws we've had with them in recent seasons. But yeah, apart from those... 

oops

I put him in my FPL, that’s what happened 

And don’t you take him out  

The one team that has a hold over us . No matter how good we are they always beat us. 

You can see that in his first few games he looked like scoring and assisting but didn’t work out. His confidence dropped and wasn’t performing as he’d like.

since the excellent goal in Europe he’s got a bit of swagger in his play now. I’d start him up front with Ollie against Scumchester United. I think he’ll have a great game against them. 

Here’s a bold statement - I have a feeling that we’ll finish ahead of one of Arsenal or Liverpool. I don’t know why but I feel it in my waters.

Two players in and I think we’ll get top 4.

If we are then it is disgusting. All that money spent on fireworks last night could be put to use on the pitch....

. 

Some of them landed on the pitch.

See you all in 24 years ……

Ramsey was having his shirt pulled before he put his hand on the keeper’s arm. But FFS why did he have to put his hand on his arm?!?!?  

It’s been an epic run. However that result will be hurting Don Unai. He will have learnt a lot about who can handle the pressure of high expectation. 

He wants CL football this season and eventually the league title. 

But that hurt him today.

I wonder how much we can reasonably spend in the coming window? Unlike Chelsea, we will have to keep a weary eye on that FFP thing. Two or three players would give us a squad that could better handle suspensions, injuries and the weight of fixtures that we face in the second half of the season. It seems Lenglet will have another option, if he leaves that would enable us to bring in another loan, I assume and who wouldn't want to join us, when they are shown the league table?  

I think we might need to sell to buy. We definitely need CL football or we might have to sell a big hitter or two as we don’t generate enough revenue. 

If you can’t celebrate your first goal (even though I thought it was funny because his teammates were trying to drag him to the centre circle) then when can you? 

Ramsey shirt being pulled before he held the keeper’s arm, Watkins blatant push and shirt pull penalty, the handball one depends on the angles they had. 

Good good player. Could have done with him the box today. His runs are very good and he’s got quick feet and good balance. 

I suppose these twunts have got payback for the ‘ghost’ goal though right?

We have to take a few more shots though. Plenty of times especially first half we could have had a pot shot but instead tried shuffling it side to side. 

I hope we eff up Manure on Boxing Day.

It’s fine to be disappointed, we weren’t good enough tonight and still got a point. The embarrassing bit is people saying our whole season is collapsing before our eyes  

Bad days happen to all teams. We go again. 

It’s called raw emotion. People are upset. Once they calm down they will realise it was the wrong reaction. I had one too. But it could have been top for the first time in however long. 

On another note - is a push in the back allowed? That is a genuine question if anyone can answer it?

Shite. Horiffic reffing. But we shouldn’t need the ref to win. 
 

Keeping Cash and Ramsey on for the duration is baffling

Cash kept getting in the way it seemed. He was just standing around waiting for someone to tell him what to do.

One of the most obvious handballs not given

 

 

 

The Watkins one was clearer in the first half. 

Watkins should have had a pen. But bloody hell every time we overlapped we caused problems. But we kept shuffling it into the middle. Grrrrrrr!

Zaniolo’s celebration was funny though . 

Champions league you’re having a laugh. 

Kin hell. All week I’ve been excited but not to be.

Sheff Utd have actually been brave defensively they’re playing a highish line themselves but obviously drop off when we get to the centre circle area. I’d like to see more crosses going in. Our FB’s need to overlap a bit more. 

But kin hell only 2 minutes???
