Of course not sorry, ill correct. We are shit, our rivals are amazing. Hope that saves me from a perma ban.

Can someone explain why Blanc is so so bad? Now don't get me wrong he is far from my first choice but some of the stuff being said about him here is quite frankly pathetic and screams moaning for the sake of it, just by reading comments on here you'd think he's the French Sammy Lee If we inexplicably cock up Sarri's deal, we could do a lot worse than a serial title winner.

Very few clubs run with a manager having the final say, one that does is United and look what's happened there.

On paper City's midfield is weak and would get bullied, arguably the greatest team off all time had only two tall players in it and neither of them are particularly powerful. If we played a midfield 3 of Kante, Seri and Mount say vs United Matic and Fred will be tripping over their own shadows.

November? Things were looking quite good in November, it was looking like we were getting our shit together and were going to be City's closest challengers all be it still a fair bit behind. It was February genuine noise was being made re Conte's sacking.

One shitty link from the sun and the "were shit and our rivals are amazing" brigade lose their shit

Two wrongs don't make a right.

I would say Blanc is better than Emery and probably even Jose when you factor in his third season is coming up.

And many wanted Cudicini to stay in goal when Cech arrived in the first place. Many wanted Ranieri to stay instead of Jose coming in. The average fan has a tendency to let the heart rule the head, that's why our input ends in the terraces.

Turnbull wouldn't have conceded the goals Caballero did vs Spurs (first and third) and Huddersfield, let alone Courtois. Overall he's been a good back up, but outside of penalty's Courtois is better in every sense.

Very much doubt that, and even if he did his ariel game still makes him a big plus. We see just how good Tibo is everytime Caballero plays.

A certain cup final two weeks ago.

If he does the business on the pitch which he by inlarge has throughout his time here, i couldn't care if he was a secret Spurs fan.

What? Look at what happened to United in the 6 years between Schmeichel and VDS, or City last season.

Our last Serie A signing pre Conte was Sheva.

Mount should go to Fulham on loan if he doesn't return here.

I have to even challenge that bit tbh, he's pulled off many, many great displays for us in big games. My Spurs supporting friend messaged me before that fateful match Easter weekend and said "game changer that Courtois's out, he's been the difference the last few times you've beat us". He doesn't come across that likeable so i can get people not warming to him as a person, but some of the nonsense spouted about his ability is ridiculous, someone even said Nick Pope would be an upgrade

And rightly so, 4 years of Courtois still beats 4 years of this version of Cech. We didn't choose Tibo because he was younger, we choose him cause he was better.

The bants if Ballack comes in and does it the same way.

Not atall, you just said every other team strengthened after a title win when not a single one has for over a decade.

That still not every other club though is it?

That"s not exactly true is it? No Champion in England have significantly strengthened since United in 2007, 11 years ago. That's doesn't excuse us, but lets not go all grass is greener on the other side here.

@Pizy to further expand. Blackburn, Villa, Leeds, Sunderland, Rangers are examples of abysmally run clubs of the top of my head, while i can accept we have issues you surely can't think we are in that type of company?

I would say another PL loan. Tammy is increasingly striking me as the type that will come into his own in his mid 20's.

There are a fair few aspects we should be doing better on yes, but all in all were not even close to being one of the worst run clubs in the UK, let alone Europe.
