We can do it mathmatically

1 Chelsea 34 15 1 1 53 14 9 4 4 32 16 55 77

2 Man Utd 34 14 1 2 45 11 9 3 5 32 16 50 73

3 Arsenal 34 14 1 2 44 15 8 4 5 32 21 40 71

4 Man City 33 11 4 1 38 17 6 7 4 31 24 28 62


Chelsea, Man Ure and Arse lose every game we win ;-D Manchester City, Ever the optimist ! Lol

Oh, Spurs you just don't get it: you were supposed to beat Portsmouth at the weekend and then go on to win the cup so that Chelski didn't and then lose to us last night (about 0-8) so that we could pip Chelski for the title. I mean why do you think I kept having that dream?

Ah, I see Rafa's plan now. Perform really badly in all competitions in order to ease pressure on players for next season. ;-)

You reinforce my point exactly Matthew, the level of expectancy on Citeh to perform well will ramp up 10-fold next season, even opposition fans expect it! With that comes the pressure, it's how a club as a whole manages that pressure, Garry Cock's rantings don't help and the managerial merry-go-round could become farcical, the owner needs to appoint a manager and let them get on with it, Abramovich screwed up getting rid of Mourinho...'world class signings' isn't necessarily a solution, this often means other first team players sitting on the bench, would players like Tevez go back to being a small fish in a big pond?...personally I don't mind Citeh doing well (winning silverware excluded), it's reinvigorated traditional rivalries and I expect Manchester as a whole to become the dominant force in domestic football :)

I'm not sure it's in the mentality of a City fan to expect to do well, regardless of how much is spent (one of the main differences between us and Spurs for instance)


I fully expect that if City do get 4th we will lose the Champions League qualifier and end up in UEFA anyway.. Speculatively speaking it may turn out we get new fans with a touch of the glory hunting (which is a bizarre thought) who do have those expectations but what they think really isn't of any import.


The owners on the other hand I think you're right and it would be good to see them doing what they said they'd do. To be fair they mostly have with the glaring exception of sacking Hughes, more money for the academy, engaging with the community etc. Fingers crossed.

In rememberance of the 96 who lost their lives at Hillsborough 21 years ago today. RIP

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
