For all the talk of the best title race in years, City are going to absolutely cruise to it yet again aren't they?

 

Fine by me.

Danny Welbeck. 15 seasons under his belt as a regular starter for Man Utd, Arsenal and Brighton. 68 goals. An average of 4.5 a season. He makes Shola look prolific

Im thinking back to the start of the season when Jamie Sketchers told Sky viewers De Zerbi may be THE BEST MANAGER IN THE WORLD :lol:

That would be about when he was being touted as Klopps successor or the next barca manager eh?

Now Liverpool are down to their third choice and he hasn't even been mentioned and Xavi is staying put :lol:

Jamie Sketchers didn't say he was THE BEST MANAGER IN THE WORLD, no, he's just a tribute. Rock....

De Zerbi - The Italian Big Ange. Maybe they could arrange a double act at Liverpool (they have previous with having two managers at a time). Their centre backs will never leave the centre circle and ONLY pass amongst themselves regardless of the opposition's press.

Did you see the third goal last night? :lol:

 

Brighton doing a passing drill in their own box whilst swarmed by Man City players. 

 

"But he sticks to his PRINCIPLES! You have to admire that." 

 

But FOUR NIL! No I don't.

They did the same at SJP last season when Miggy destroyed them by constantly putting their keeper under pressure. Despite shipping goals for fun they still tried to play out from the back because it's the only tactic he has. When it works well it's great for them, but when it doesn't they tend to get beat, heavily.

what a fucking electric night in SJP that was - absolutely magic and along with the Arsenal game the previous season, the best I've seen it since the Keegan days. I didn't mange to get tickets for PSG at home but I gather that was arguably just as good or even better.

Aye, they were an absolute gift that night. 

I distinctly remember the commentators/pundits wanking themselves daft over Brighton, and we were coming off a bunch of shitty results, including getting shagged by Villa so they were all praying we'd collapse again only for Brighton to completely shit the bed. It was glorious :lol:

Judging from my armchair, I would say the PSG game (and probably all the CL games tbf) had the better atmosphere because of the nature and level of importance, but it's been a while since the atmosphere was completely flat and shit (probably pre takeover)

tbh, the last game i went to at home (1-1 v everton) was a bit of a throwback. flat as fuck.

 

it was one of those where the crowd turned up expecting to win. i had a great seat in the milburn paddock in terms of view - just above the dugout - but atmosphere? not so much. i was surrounded by old blokes in their 50s and 60s who didn't try to join in with any signing - even after we scored. the only time they made any noise was to complain. time for some of these old timers to give up their season tickets for the next generation. a lot of them don't seem like they're getting any joy out of it, so why bother? the corner did its best to get things going but the rest of the crowd couldn't be arsed - you could hear a pin drop at times.  

 

if we do build a new ground there should be a designated section for boring old bastards ticked high in the gods somewhere, as well as designated singing sections behind the goals.

A plot round the back for their ashes to be scattered would be better tbh.

Electric afternoon at my apartment as well. The wife had the kids out at the playground and I had the place all to myself. They heard me singing "We're going to Italy" coming off the elevator down the hallway - we'd just scored our third (also my fav goal of that season.) Who knows what the neighbors thought, and who cares? :nufc: Hoping for a similar grandstand finish this season - I'm picturing 5000 Geordies singing "you're getting sacked in the morning" to a clueless Dutch fraud as the mighty Isak powers us into the EL.

I still have no idea why top class players put back passes directly on goal, mind. It’s fucking asking for trouble.

Aye, even in the old, old, days we were told, never pass back on goal.
