Today's Football 2018-19 Season

[Steve Wigan]

So, in summary...

- Reds, as expected, see off Wolves away and record another clean sheet in the process. No injury concerns to any of their key players;
- City, previously unbeaten at home, lose to Palace who hadn't previously registered an away win so far this season. Now 4 points behind reds;
- Chelsea, at home, lose to Leicester who leapfrog us in the table. Chelsea now 11(!) points behind the reds;
- Watford, away to West Ham, win to leapfrog us in the table;
- Bournemouth, at home to Brighton, win to also leapfrog us in the table.

That about sum it up? Love footy me.

...and Gerri scores for Watford IN THE 87th MINUTE (What?)

Unbelievable turn of events today. This year could be major downer the way everything is playing out. Makes you wonder if Leicester and a Palace can win away from home against a top four side why can't we? Time for the players to man up.

Be careful talking level headed sense mate - apparently a lot on this forum don't like it.

So Leicester wins at Chelsea and Crystal Palace wins at City. Add those to the list of teams that have win there before we have.

Just pathetic.

Tiresome isn't it. We're all Silva fanboys now instead of being proper 'Type A' Blues like him.

He seems to think that if we were to follow Fulham as a club who spent £100mil+ then we should be in a top position...ignoring that they have done just this in the summer and sit 20th.

Really rather peculiar.

@davek we need your comforting words that everything will be ok

It'll be a close run thing. I didn;'t like the way City failed to respnd from 2-1 down and it has me wondering if they're focussed on the fight. Liverpool certainly are.

There's no margin for error now for City in the run up to the Liverpool game. They need to bounce back with some wins. If they play Liverpool with this deficit then they can use that game to bounce off and gain a big psychological advantage.

Id certainly rather be in Liverpool's shoes righ tnow. But, as said elsewhere, it's a long, long way to go. 4 points at Christmas is not a secure position.

It’s like that week in 13/14 when relegation threatened Sunderland won at Chelsea and drew at City in the space of a few days.

 

[Steve Wigan]

Del slotting for Watford. Playing very well at the moment.

Good goal. What was he doing on the pitch in the 87th minute?

 

[nikom court]

city were there for the taking last week,unfortunetly we weren't good enough to do it.
liverpools run has stemmed from pickfords mistake,
I cant see any difference from when allardyce was there working with inferior players!

Nice to see I'm not the only one who thinks that. My son is a Spurs fan (as I was before I saw the light) so tomorrow is a special day for me (and it'll be my birthday too)

Many happy returns my mate, and with no disrespect to your son I hope you’re the happier one tomorrow!

 

[malfosse]

few others on this site need outing as well....gobshites

I think it's more than a few mate.

 

[davek]

If the RS beat them though it's probably over!

It's likely to be if they dont drop points between now and then.

A lot of ifs and buts.

City need to get wins now though or it will be over.

 

[Wat Tyler]

I don’t fancy City to go to Leicester and win

 

[Zatara]

Walcott was just a sub at Arsenal and his career was on a downward spiral, Bernard did well in Russia but that's Russia. Gomes had been a good player then went into melt down so you could argue that they were risky buys/loan. You need more than 1 or 2 proven players you need 7 or 8 and they will carry the poorer players (Phil Neville at Man Utd for example). We still need plenty and with the prices of proven players it will be expensive but just small change for the top teams. Then we have to deal with those top teams taking a fancy to our better players. It is getting harder and harder to close the gap.

Also of those players, Gomes is on loan and we would get our money back on Walcott + make a profit on Bernard.

A couple more results like today and Pep won´t even try. It´ll be all about the Champions League for him.

Fergie retiring was a kick in the balls for everyone of an anti Kopite persuasion. He wouldn´t have allowed this. Not a chance.
