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


To the famillies and friends of those who lost loved ones and also the survivors - You Will Never Walk Alone.

    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
