They've set up for the smash 'n' grab Bob. Same as they did earlier in the season when it worked for them

There's no one to the grab though he's on his own 18 yard box. Just not competing, inviting way to much pressure. Really sloppy on the ball. Fair play City are forcing much of it, but I was expecting a bit more.

Palace have been shit at home this season. Much better on the road. Go figure.

City playing well but i can't enjoy it as I'm too nervous; i hate football, i spend the whole game waiting for us to screw up.

And then the next 90 minutes will be hoping Liverpool screw up

It’s far more relaxing following my lot. You never have to wait too long. 

I wasn't nervous at 2-1 !!

Best we've played for a while.

No. Liverpool are getting all that luck this season ????

Right. I've seen enough. Happy if the ref blows for full time now. 13 minutes is long enough and no more diving Salah

and back to you...

Our next 2 prem games are Spurs (h) and United (a). If we get 6 points from those 2 I'll be extremely happy

Watching them 2 games today, City and Liverpool are on a different level. 

I admit it: there were empty seats at the Etihad today ????

After the season we have both had it's a shame one has to come second. I hope it's a shame for Liverpool mind!!

The women’s final is one you ain’t gonna win. 

We are putting the men out.

Surely you will draw one ????

I confess to being worried now. I was hoping you'd drop a point or 2 giving us a bit of a cushion in the Spurs or United matches. You now have a relatively easy run in and we have absolutely no wriggle room 

2 points behind. Game in hand away at ManU.

 

We've got by far the harder run.

 

I expect Liverpool to get maximum 12 points (minimum 10 points).

 

Can i see us getting maximum points, no.

 

So Bob i reckon you can start booking the opentop bus. 

 

So how do you neutrals see it going?

The next two games will define your season.....I'm betting Pep saves his big guns for the league match.

Proof of how much Sterling has improved under Pep

I'd say the next 3 games in 8 days is crunchtime ...Spurs (H, CL), Spurs (H, PL) & ManU (A, PL). Reckon Pep will play his best team in the first 2 games.

 

Let's  hope it goes better than the 2 Liverpool and the ManU losses in a similar period last April!

 

Against Palace thought everybody bar Aguero had a decent game. Aguero doesn't look right; injured?Even Walker had a decent game. Was pleased to see Mendy have a decent game: he's played so few for he's almost  a stranger. KdB seems to have gotten over his injuries and finally looks like KdB we know. Looking forward to the Spurs games, less so our visit to OT.

Can't book the bus as it's still in your hands.

A year ago today second placed Manchester United were playing bottom of the league West Bromwich Albion...

Less of that defeatist attitude BB. Pep and the lads know every game is now a cup final. They'll be up for every game. Liverpool might have th easier run on paper but coupon busters happen every week. Let's hope they are one of them.

Blimey, they went into freefall..............and WBA have had a tough time too.

Definitely City to win the league.

125 years ago today we ceased being Ardwick AFC and became MCFC. Happy birthday to us...

My dad can still remember back to City in the 30s (as I've said before on here, he reckons Denis Law before we sold him to Torino is the best he's ever seen for City). 

 

My grandad would have gone back further in to the 10s and 20s (he used to tell me about being part of Maine Road's record attendance in 1934, when 84,569 attended an FA Cup tie between Manchester City and Stoke City - the record for an English club ground (bet there were 'Bangrak Bob types' around even in them days saying City had no fans ???? )
