When will people get the message :doh: Wenger ain't going nowhere.
Maybe people want to see a game we've got a fighting chance of winning :unsure:
No way. He's shoulder to shoulder. Sterling takes a dive, as he does.Quote:

You sure you work for Essex police or are you currently sitting in the waiting area waiting to hand yourself in for being a danger to society? :haha:Quote:

United are managed by another dinosaur in Mourinho, Chelsea are in a civil war, Spurs are Spurs, and Klopp is looking fraudulent.
City is looking like a team that may be the best the Premier League has seen. The title race is over. Guardiola never gets caught.
They have a really good chance at getting 100 points.
There are 27 games to go :lol:
It is theirs to lose and right now they're clear favourites but it wouldn't be the first time a team has gone off line a train and then hit the buffers.
Real news is Pep has spent a fortune, as usual, but spent wisely (in most cases). As you say, the rest are a bunch of fuck ups, either blowing money on trash or refusing to spend at all. So it's not much of a surprise to see the team that knows what its doing getting on and doing it. As always, the pace will slow. It always does no matter how much dominance through stages of the season. It's theirs to win, for sure, but plenty of ups and downs to go yet, especially in the close season. Only thing that can be said with total certainty at this early stage is we won't be competing.Quote:

Edit: For us. That's for sure. Way to early to say City have won.
I imagine there is not as much discontent as there might be....Quote:

They won their first 10 games last season:coffee:Quote:

However I would say even if they do have a wobble at some point, the lead they are building now will probably be enough of a buffer to see them over the line anyway.
Chelsea did the same last season and also in 2015, started like a runaway train then coasted towards the finish. In fact even Leicester weren't realistically going to be caught during their title win, always had that points cushion thanks to their mid season burst of form.
There hasn't been an interesting title race since 2014 so I don't believe it's really that outrageous to think their lead might already be unassailable.
From our point of view we were never in the title race, so it never ended because it never started, we're cannon fodder to the big teams now, a 2nd tier team who will never challenge for the big prizes.
Fans will always be optimistic (some fancied we might get something at City), but the reality is some teams are now in a different league, our fight is to get in the top 4 and were' even losing that these days. Next step down will be us challenging to qualify for the Europa League every season.
2nd rate club, with a 2nd rate manager managing a 2nd rate team. Kroenke doesn't care and Wenger can't see it, to him we're still something special, we got comprehensively outplayed yesterday, the decisions didn't dictate the result, we were never going to get anything from this, the manager however got his ready made excuse.
Somehow should ask him why we've already lost 4 times this season if we're so special and why we bore the fans to the point of putting them to sleep. All that's left for us now is the Europa League which the clown doesn't appear to be taking seriously.
Actually agree about that. We are in the 2nd tier of clubs now.
:ilt:
I wonder about Alexis as well, by all intents and purposes he was playing again his next club, he's got nothing to prove he knows he's outta here soon. So we lost, but I'm not sure he'll be that bothered, we're not his future, we'll soon be his past.
Moreover he probably fancies playing for City even more than he did before now, having seen first hand how good they are and they type of football they play.
The decision to leave Lacazette out were just dumbfounding for me, I'd have played both Sanchez and Lacazette, you want your best players on the pitch, they were all rested in midweek as well.
I really don't know where we'll be next summer now, losing our best players for nothing, with our awful transfer business it's shaping up to be another disaster, just like this season is turning out to be.
Why won't something change at this club, I just don't get it, we're a club where noone seems to care about the football side, as a footbal club we're falling apart.
Well according to Gazidis we're the most consistent over performer out of the big clubs! :lol:Quote:

Fernandinho is a great midfielder, but he is 32 years old and just one guy in a very attacking team.
Its over.
They won their first ten matches overall last season. This season they have only dropped two points in 11 Premier League matches and have set the record for the biggest lead in Premier League history after 11 matches.Quote:

I couldn't care less about apologies either. Ongoing excuses in the face of overwhelming evidence is what perks my disgust.
Do you realise what you’ve done?Quote:

If I held out hope longer than most that he would then fine, guilty as charged, but don't pat yourselves on the back too much and pretend that you knew 10 years ago we'd end up in quite such a mess.
To be fair to Zimm he has been consistent on his stance regarding Wenger over the past 7-8 years and he pretty much predicted our fortunes.
