We go and outplay Chelsea and oh yes, its all about Chelsea unusual defensive lapses rather than them being unable to deal with the tempo we played at. All very amusing. BTW, at this stage we are nine points better off than last season. Can't wait to take on City next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep but they can afford to waste so, in their defense, it doesn't matter. I just can't wait to get at them next weekend. In our current form were going to do them good and proper. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the context of the whole game that was an isolated incident. They were being pulled all over the place and couldn't keep it tight as they like to do. I don't think Pullis will be too concerned because in our current form no one will want to play us. Its just a case of hoping the form will continue for as long as possible.

Name me a team who hasn't "bought" the league. Leicester's freak season aside, it's no coincidence that the clubs who invest in the best (and usually most expensive) players, are the ones who usually win the league.

Sparkles Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Possibly,IMO, the best 45 mins of football played by any team this season.Spurs pinged the ball about with total accuracy ,made space and finished. Wasn't so much poor defence. WBA just got ripped up and had no answer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bredbury Blue Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 I would agree that City have wasted money, Johnny Bravo looking to be the latest (but maybe he'll come good as Degea did after an awful start), but surely EVERY club wastes money on players from time to time. I think people are getting a little confused by City having to spend big and over the odds in the early days after 2008 on certain players, but that was inevitable, City couldn't go from the quality of say Richard Dunne (City's player of the year in many seasons) to convincing players of the quality of Aguero, Tevez, Yaya, etc, to join us in one step, we needed to buy players of shall we say intermediate quality and do it step by step. So yes it cost City to catchup the established top teams, but when EVERYBODY doubted that City's owners could turn us in to an established top team, nobody can doubt that they did what they promised.

Bredbury Blue Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 I repeat "To be fair i don't know its always only the spurs fans on the TV forum who constantly rattle on about City's finances. Why's that?". Maybe it's just a feeling I've developed but it seems to me that of ALL the football fans on TV that it's ONLY (two) spurs fans who seem to have an unhealthy preoccupation with City's finances.
