Like I said, all those results have been at home, where clearly they have been great, infallible in fact but the point is that despite their ruthlesness at home, it does not neccesarily extend to performances away from home. All sides will have games like the above where they have to hold out on a single goal margin when away, even if they had more than that to start with.
We're doing what has got us numerous away wins during 2013, we've won something silly like 20 odd away games in just over a year; we could make it easier on ourselves perhaps but I don't think it's the sign of aping a Div 2 side really.
Oh you sad little man.You're actually stalking my posts? You have a problem, dude!
Sorry, it was the Hull game. Wednesday evening kick off. Dec 4th. Please look it up in the match thread.
On a side note, match attendance doesn't measure how much of a fan I am. I go when I can.

Pretty big mistake to make.
This really is personal.
Two new teams to the Prem.....Hardly a CUP final or a game against one of our rivals. If you're willing to pay for my ticket than drop me a line. I'll gladly go to the next game if you're that minted.
Games are expensive and can only afford a few as a treat. That's life.
Pretty close indeed
Agreed that the Mancs were pretty average away from home at start of the season but since December they have scored 3 at West Brom, Bayern & Swansea and 4 at Fulham. In Wengers own words he plays the game in the same way home or away, last night was like a home game, all the possission, louder supporters & then a 2-0 lead. Why would we not want to push on & get the movement & confidence going for the likes of Caz, Giroud, Jack & Oz by trying to score goals, Villa were shit & their heads had gone.
Our 2nd half performance against them was woeful & had Benteke scored with his late headed chance the mood on this site & amongst supporters would not have been so positive, it could also have affected players confidence. We have to get these things right to continiue to compete, not just brush over it because we got away with it at Villa. 2 defensive midfielders at home to Cardiff & it takes forward minded substitutions to nick a win in the 88th minute, another lucky escape. We are bringing these issues upon ourselves & won't keep getting away with it. Even our home league form Southampton 2-0 win, 64 mins between goals - Marsaille 2-0 win, 64 mins between goals - Hull 2-0 win, 45 mins between goals & then the very defensive home displays against Everton & Chelsea - we have to attack teams at home all game, they cannot score when the ball is in their half. Even away to Palace we were hanging on at 1-0 until Girouds very late goal - how & why?
We should learn our lesson from the Napoli game, even against mediocre opposition, if you sit back & offer nothing in attack it only takes a few minutes to score a few goals.
All of those games have something else in common. We won them. It probably isn't a coincidence.
You used to be everything to me
Now you're tired of fighting
Very observant of you, but if you read the posts you will see we are discussing our ability to kill a game off by being more ruthless. City are on fire at the moment, even without Aguero, because Pellegrini is going for it & murdering the pub teams because they are sitting back to limit the damage. We on the other hand get a 1-0 lead & let the pub teams have a go at us. I wonder what team Ozil would prefer to play in.
