For me the worry would be that Pep thinks he can;t arrest the slide and walks thinking he's doing us a favour. He is a man of principle so its possible. I wouldn't call for his head even if we slip into the bottom 3. limp into the summer and spend 300-400m. we have that leeway in psr according to many. and i'm happy to dream its true. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 10953 Posted Monday at 16:32 Share Posted Monday at 16:32 I did think of his confidence when I posted it, but thinking your good is a prerequisite of being good. Thinking you're good doesn't make you good. Otherwise I'd be a good person. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand That might cross their minds for sure. But City will have a good idea how the IC went so assuming it went well will let on as much. Personally i think we'll be fine. Although rival fans will never believe it. Hopefully we win and get a points addition in lieu of compensation, just enough to win the title. Or better still all those that said we're cheats get a 'massive' point deduction. relegating some of the red cartel. Shhh its christmas i can dream. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's be honest, it won't be worth it for a team currently sitting in 12th, hoping to make Europe next season.
