Yeah they're really on a roll but surely blips will come just like they will with us so it's all about just staying in the race through the next 10 games then when 10 games to go is when it really gets interesting.
Anything can happen but we can’t fall down the ladder if we want to be in for a chance at end must stay on ther tails and like you said last 10
Games would be interesting and we got to play them yet

Just think it's slowly starting to slip away from us this little run has probably stretched the gap to a distance where we won't be able to get it back.

For us to win it now we'd probably need to put a 10 game winning run together which I just don't think we've currently go in the locker.

City had a rocky start but they are really in the groove now defensively they look rock solid again and the goals are starting to flow it's going to need a major collapse for them to fall away now sadly and the track record suggests that once this team hits the front it's game over.
 
Just annoyingly good aren't they.

First trophy in the bag 4th league cup in a row, PL title pretty much wrapped up and going into a semi final in europe.

Yeah we know loads of money blah blah blah but giving loads of money to people who seem to know exactly what they're doing with it give us all a major problem to stop City over the next few seasons.

Doesn't help that they've managed to develop a genuine superstar of their own in Phil Foden either.
 
One advantage that you have over a sportsbook is that the book wants to set a line that attracts even money on top matches predictions. So if the majority of the money coming in is “dumb” for some reason, “fading the public” and going the other way will get you more value.
 
Weird starting 11 by Pep.

Chelsea to win the CL then
 
No celebrating until they are out.
 
This is why you don’t gloat early boys and girls.

PSG also down to 10 men.

Even by their standards this second half collapse is incredible.
 
Wasn't gloating, Chelsea city final I want city
 
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why we should be thanking our lucky stars that we steered clear of Pochettino. PSG should've had the tie pretty much won tonight and instead they're pretty much out. They were dominating City playing fast and getting after them until he switched to a low block that City break down every week in the league. Pochettino should never have left Spurs as they were perfect for each other. Try hards who are so allergic to winning they self sabotage at the critical moment.

Very much agreed.

This does kind of feel like City’s year as much as it pains me to say it. It was a no win situation last night, PSG are insufferable little rats so always happy to see them lose but obviously would hate City win the whole thing. Both plastic clubs, so meh, any success they have is flawed in my eyes.
 
Didn't watch the game but can you really pin it on the manager when your keeper lets in a cross and a free kick goes through the wall?

This is the manager who so far has knocked out Barcelona and Bayern Munich certainly rode his luck in the Bayern game but still knocked them out.

Just sounds to me like the 2 big stars at PSG didn't turn up on the night and when they don't shine that's a pretty average side.

When Real Madrid is the least despicable option, you're swimming in some pretty shallow waters.

That was 1000% on the manager last night. Yeah, the City goals were lucky, but City were on the ropes in the first half. Had PSG came out the same way in the second half they could've scored 2/3 and really taken control of the tie, but Pochettino bottled it and went ultra defensive. City couldn't handle PSG's pace and directness because they don't come up against that very often, but they are made to break down the low block they see every week. Switching gave City all of the momentum in the second half.

A real rag to riches story eh? A true testament to hard work and persistence.

Ahem. £400m sat on their bench tonight
 
They are the football lottery winners but you have to say they've done a very good job with the money they haven't just pissed it up the wall on shiny new toys but the huge advantage they have is when they make a mistake they just buy again.

Even under Pep they've had some bad buys that didn't really work out but the key thing is they aren't forced to stick with them they can just buy a replacement and get it right second time round.

Hard to see either Chelsea or Madrid stopping them unless they totally freeze on the night they will be a big favourite against either of those teams in the final.
 
The way the FA Cup tie went Tuchel looks like he's very comfortable playing against City. They barely created a chance and Chelsea should have won by 3 or 4. So I wouldn't say it's hard to see Chelsea winning it. City will be hoping Madrid win tonight as it'll be the easier game for them.
 
I think I'd fancy Cheslea over City

dont they meet in the league this weekend?
 
Chelsea certainly have a style that they can struggle with as they've got the tight defence and speed on the counter but didn't City make quite a few changes for the cup semi final?

That's laughable. As if they built themselves up through hard work and good old fashioned know how.

The first half was on in the background yesterday, and I might do the same today, but I'm finding it really hard to care who wins. They're all just as corrupt and despicable as each other.
 
City chairman has said they are not going to hold back in the transfer market this summer, and an Aguero replacement is on the cards.
 
That's becuase all their owners care about is winning and with money no object it's worrying times ahead.

League and domestic cup plus CL runner up not considered good enough.

My guess is they're going to go big for Harry Kane.
 
Tuchel is rumoured to be getting 200m too.
 
The whole interview is a good one. He's banging on about that whilst Woodward will highlight how many social media clicks we got this season. It all starts right at the top. And that's why we are so far behind them.
 
To be fair Woodward is in the wind now but the story leaked today is apparently the pool at the training ground has been closed for a while as it needs a repair which has taken months to sort out. That door that fans kicked in a month ago before the Liverpool game still not repaired.

I still maintain this City side from this season wasn't that special but if they go and add 2 or 3 more quality players to it then it could be back to 100 point seasons again pretty quickly.

The opportunity is there for any club that has cash to really make a mark as everyone is struggling right now.
