On a side note, Pep probably just feels a bit inadequate when it comes to us because he has the possibly the most expensive squad ever in the EPL and our cost under 80m. And to fair fair, i don't blame him. After 7 games, you are 3rd. Wembley or not (didn't think you would use that as an excuse) and the way you are playing makes you rivals. As for Pep, I know you love knocking him but I doubt very much he feels inadequate about anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bredbury Blue Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 "Were not rivals because we are not playing at White Hart Lane." What does that mean? "Pep probably just feels a bit inadequate when it comes to us because..." of course he does Carmine, of course he does. Pep's comment was probably an attempt to irritate Spurs and ManU; seems he hit the mark with the spurs fans eh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its you, United and that small club from west London. With the players you have you should all be in a separate league anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owl sees all Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 At the beginning of the season I had City and Chelsea to be contesting for the top two places. How wrong I was in elevating Chelsea to the same level as City. Now the light blues have comfortably beaten the London blues I cant see any team catching them post @@ (can't find the post but ages ago). Chelsea were a huge disappointment. The reigning champions, playing at home; and SO, SO negative!!!! I've just watched the game and City could have won 3/4-0 and wouldn't have had to break into a sweat. I'll tell you what Conte go and watch Man City at home this year. Not afraid of anyone. Is he trying to turn the Champions into a counter-attacking team? Looks like it to me. If so then why let Salah go? Man Utd will come to a sticky end at Anfield on the 14 Oct; while City will easily beat Stoke. They should be looking at the record points total this season (95). Record goals too. The four timer is most definately on; EPL, CL, Fart cup and Milk cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alfieconn Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Carm, i consider that to be quite a feat to be called rivals when we have spent 295m less than them over the last 2 seasons alone ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would the results of last year have to do with the conversation? It doesn't really matter what season he was talking about, why would he come out with a pathetic remark like that ? i'm just glad our manager shows some decorum in his interview's !

It WAS a strange pitch to you at first but you have had enough games there now for it to be more an advantage for you guys to play on, than a visiting team. Spurs are playing fantastic football, you're in 3rd after 7 games and therefore, you are rivals. Don't know whether you are trying to lower your own expectations and trying to deflect pressure but you ain't kidding anyone.

Its all about the visiting sides, particularly the smaller teams getting the chance to play at the national stadium, something many will never get the chance to do again. That negates any home advantage. I really don't understand why you don't get this. As i say, it has nothing to do with the pitch, we've already proven how well we are capable of playing there.

Well the real question is one that can't be answered. Would we be anywhere near as good as we are currently and last season if he had been our manager working off the same limited resources? I personally doubt it very much. Then again, there is no argument that City are very impressive and playing lovely football and will take a lot of beating to the title.

We're happy to not be bundreds of millions in debt thanks. Oh and with a brand new stadium almost built. Delli Alli to Madrid or Barca for 200million will likely pay for a large part of that.
