Mahrez will be a lot easier to get rid of than money bags Sanchez would have been. Silver lining ! I never wanted Mahrez. A Fernandinho cover was what was needed and still is.

Mahrez 1st season reminds a bit of Bernardo's 1st season. Both made lots of appearances but mainly off the bench. Both seemed to be playing at a level below the other players and their own potential. Bernado's whole game seemed to be receive the ball, slow it down unnecessarily, always cut inside, then play the ball back to where it had come from. Doesn't that remind of Mahrez in his first season. 2nd season Bernardo has been sensational, an absolute joy to watch, can play and be excellent in many roles, easily our player of the season. Mahrez hopefully will settle and flourish as Bernardo did. But it's clear Bernardo has a great attitude - he's also supposed to be the most popular player amongst the squad - but does Mahrez have the right attitude?

You must be a 'glass half empty' person. According to S-Index, the EPL favouite is City to win it by one point. What an absolute stonking season. If Pool win on Friday it will be 30 changes for top spot. Been watching them for decades through thick and thin so tend to be pessimistic. Think you'll find most us City fans are like that, isnt that so MrBj. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bredbury Blue Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Liverpool won the FA Youth Cup with a 5-3 penalty-shootout victory over Manchester City after the final ended 1-1 after extra time at City's Academy Stadium.

Stockport have promotion in sight after post-Easter resurrection Defeat last Saturday left automatic promotion out of County’s hands.

Oh BB! At it again. Where is your optimism? Liverpool have the same pressure, as they know they cannot drop points 'cause City will gobble them up. I can't see either of the top two dropping any more points. Which makes City the champs. From an earlier post you remarked about the ups and downs of being a City supporter and the anguish they often put their supporters through. I concur on this as from early age I was an Leyton Orient supporter. When we were promoted to the top flight in the 1960's we (supporters) all thought that it was the start of great era. Well at least they have been promoted out of the National League for next season. Watch out City and Liverpool; Orient are on the move (again).

Ah so your secret is finally out, you're an Os fan not a Spurs fan. As a City fan i also keep an eye on Stockport's, Bury's and Rochdale's progess. Going back to your first paragraph. If two teams are equal and one plays their game before the other team i believe there's more pressure on the team that plays last. My opinion; you might disagree. I also made the point that for weeks we have been one game behind liverpool so for us we have felt that we are continually having to match what liverpool do and play catch up. This weekend we play last. Next weekend we were due to play first (vs Leicester) but has been rescheduled two days after liverpool play for tv reasons so we play last. It just feels like we are always playing catchup. Under normal circumstances you would expect Liverpool to win their remaining 2 and City our remaining 3 but the pressure will get to one or both teams and i dont see 15 points being bagged. Liverpool also have to weigh up how to play the 2 Barca games and 4 games in 12 days. I have no doubt there will be twists and turns yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
