rodders0223 Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Sterling is complete ass. Never seen a football scuff sky and shank as many passes and shots as this guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said it a few games ago when people were talking about what poor form they're in, and how we were looking relatively comfortable ahead of them and Arsenal. What prize do they get when we finish 10th and they finish 9th? Finishing above them would be nice but honestly I don't care... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like the assumption that they'll be ahead of us at the end of the game because they've been ahead for 20 minutes over a whole season? With 2 games more played. Down to 10 men. With a half to go. Against the runaway league leaders. I wasn't one of those people and don't think it's impossible btw. I just have a feeling you're setting yourself up for ridicule from those very same people if you aren't even willing to wait until the final whistle blows.

sidcow Posted April 10, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted April 10, 2021 Citeh players literally queuing up to cross the ball straight at the first defender or into the keepers hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it was arrogant of people to think that they wouldn't, just because they're somewhat erratic and we (or a majorify of us) don't like them. I still reckon they'll finish ahead of us, and they're certainly not doing anything to prove me wrong here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a prediction I made a while ago, which is currently supported by the league table. Maybe at full time, as you suggest, it won't be supported by the table - but nor does that mean they won't finish ahead of us either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted April 10, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted April 10, 2021 Thing is Leeds aren't actually doing anything more than crowding the penalty area. Citeh are just inexplicably poor. 16 chances created now, I've never seen such wayward shooting outside of Villa Park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time will tell and considering that we're roughly evenly good it's not unthinkable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted April 10, 2021 Moderator Share Posted April 10, 2021 Leeds are defending quite well. City get like this from time to time, they get a bit clogged up in their own pattern and rhythm. Thirty more minutes for Leeds to hold out.

Why would it surprise you that most people want to support their team? Why would you begin to gloat that you’ve predicted another team to finish above us when they’ve been above us for all of 30 minutes and we have two games in hand? I’m not one of those who laughed at you saying it’s a possibility but this attitude of taking joy in being proven right would be annoying at the end of the season let alone with 9 games still to play for us.

We weren't far off getting a 0-0 up there in fairness with the offside goal so just got to defend well but we really will miss Grealish in next two games in terms of getting up the pitch quickly so not hopeful of any points at all.
