    People calling for a 3-0 win but would settle for a 1-0, as if it was a draw. It was the same before the game at Old Trafford. We become half decent and start expecting to smash teams. Any win in the premier league is difficult. A 1-0 win would be a huge result.

    I’m amazed at the amount of people who seem to think a points deduction and relegation would be somehow excessive for Man City. If they are found guilty of these charges, they will have to be stripped of titles. Lance Armstrong was stripped of all his Tour de France titles for winning by cheating. It’s the same thing. The Premier League are not going to be soft on City after bringing 115 charges against them. That makes no sense.

    I think it will be a lot worse than that and can see them being stripped of titles. And rightly so if found guilty.

    That’s extremely unfair. He didn’t look out of place at all when he came on. Linked up play. Dropped deep and kept possession. He came closest to scoring with a good effort and had another header just wide. He was a physical presence too. I thought he looked dangerous.

    Newcastle are toast. They’ve got 29 points in half a season. They need 41 points from 19 games just to get to 70 points, which probably wouldn’t be enough for top 4 this season and potentially even top 5. They’ve no chance. If Newcastle pass us out, it won’t be for a champions league place so no point in worrying about them in my opinion. I think we are guaranteed top 5, with Spurs the only danger for top 4.

    Up until the last few games, I thought he’d been consistently brilliant. I actually think Ollie has a bit to go with the consistency. I still don’t feel certain he’s going to turn up for every game but he’s pretty close. I agree Konsa has been extremely consistent and at a very high level. The crazy thing for me is that we are second in the league without all our players firing on all cylinders; some through injuries or lack of form or getting used to the league. Cash, Carlos, Moreno, Ramsey, Diaby, Zaniolo, Tielemans, Duran, even Torres are just a sample of players where I think the output could improve for the second half of the season. It bodes well potentially.

    I think Luiz has been head and shoulders our best player. He’s given us so much and makes us tick. He’s been our orchestrator in my opinion. Next level down would be Martinez, Watkins and Konsa. Bailey most improved player. Kamara the most potential for the second half of the season. He hasn’t quite kicked on like I expected when he first joined. I think those couple of injuries last season stifled him a little. But he’s crucial to us and can go up another level.

    Cash is out sick. Not on the bench.

    A real kick in the mouth and a feeling of five points dropped. But we need to stay positive now as fans, players and management, and push on again. We will have good players coming back and potentially some January additions. We are still in a very strong position and have proven in the past that we can put winning runs together. A few issues there that we can hopefully iron out in the process. If we can replicate last season’s new year form, we are in for a great season.

    Stupid, stupid foul by Ramsey.

    I make it that 11 more wins will be enough for top 4, assuming we draw at least a couple too. If we can get at least two more out of the three games before new year, I think the top 4 job is as good as done. The foundations will have been laid. We would only need 30 points or so from the last 18 games. Interestingly, 5 out of 7 of our games against the other top / big 8 will be at home in the second half of the season, which shouldn’t hurt either.
  13. juanpablosaliceband
    Well we are about mid way through the season so shouldn’t everyone’s fixtures be pretty much the same at this point?

    Saw this again. I’ll be stunned if it’s not overturned. He barely touched him. Ridiculous that the punishment should match that attack by Ben Mee.
  15. juanpablosaliceband
    Immense win. Big thanks to Ben Mee for his contribution. Lots to learn from that. Too many players needlessly lost their composure and we ultimately paid the price with a silly red card. But a huge three points, which seemed impossible with 20 minutes to go.
  16. juanpablosaliceband
    Do you think? I thought it was a soft red.
  17. juanpablosaliceband
    I could understand it if we were losing but don’t get it when we were winning. Let Maupay sit there and waste his own time. Bizarre for Emi to get rattled like that and it fed into the chaos. We had no composure after going 2-1 up.
  18. juanpablosaliceband
    Should have a good chance of getting that red overturned. Barely pushed him.
  19. juanpablosaliceband
    Ridiculous by Emi.
  20. juanpablosaliceband
    Filth tackle by a filthy scumbag.
  21. juanpablosaliceband
    Clear red card for Mee.
  22. juanpablosaliceband
    We are missing a few players alright but this is hardly our second choice 11?
  23. juanpablosaliceband
    The first five minutes was our real chance. We were all over them and they looked wide open. They grew into it after we gifted them that first big chance. I still think we are the better team and can win this if we sharpen up. Cash is a waste if he’s not at right back. I feel for him a little. This role doesn’t suit him in my opinion.
  24. juanpablosaliceband
    I’d prefer Zaniolo in that Cash role. We’ve looked the better team to me but need to be much sharper in front of goal.

    They said neither were penalties.
