Oh my good Lord, I'd be a wreck if this was us trying to win the league, the stress of these last few city games is off the scale

Reading through here you lot seem to be more nervous than City fans!

I was very nervous for the Burnley match but not bad at all last night. Honestly watching us under Guardiola you always feel there's at least one goal there and trust the players to dig us out if needed. Only 2 more cup finals to go now
 
Can somebody explain to me what Leicester did last night that has people talking about how they could push the top 6 next year? All I saw was them defend for 75 minutes the same as Burnley or Brighton would do.

Think it's just what Kompany said and more down to it being more difficult and prepared than the usual fodder they play against.

They also beat them at home.

The gap between United/Chelsea/Arsenal and Everton/Wolves/Leicester isn't that big quality wise but the mentality of teams playing the first group is so different that it makes it easier for them. Not to mention the refereeing biases that also go their way. It isn't impossible that next season these 6 get a bit more mixed.

But I still don't get why Leicester last night was what made people realize they're a decent side. They didn't really show anything.

They had 2 decent chances to score tbf
 
Derby at home to Leeds look a fair price to win on Saturday. I hope Leeds get through the tie though, so I can mock my dad when we hammer them next season! Don't blame me if they don't win though and when the fun stops, STOP!

It's 9 points difference quality wise between 7th and 6th.

That's a lot.
