Cause it's so rare we lose to them but we've been setting new records and things this season sooo wouldn't surprise me Last time was such a fight back and just don't feel we can..hopefully wrong cause...

I get the feeling the board like him because he does as told. Additionally, as they're stats nuts I am sure the sideways/backwards passing has them wanking over possession stats.

Additionally, as they're stats nuts I am sure the sideways/backwards passing has them wanking over possession stats. He has changed his message in recent press conferences from, he was never told by the owners that Top 4 is the target for this season, to now he is saying top 4 is the target this year. I do think if he wins Europa Conference and by doing so secures Europa League, he is good for next year. bigbluewillie and Mhsc 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mhsc 1,109 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 (edited) My feeling is they probably didn't start the season with a specific target for him of top 4, but after seeing us in 2nd and even now being in 4th, it has become a clear target in both the fans, manager, players, directors, and owners eyes surely. So whether it was a formal target at the beginning of the season or not, it is now de facto a target because it is totally in grasp and it will be a bottle job if we give it up this close to the end of the season.

We have one of the toughest, if not the toughest, run-ins to the end of the season with tough fixtures back to back. I would also add the United fixture to that list. The bottle job already happened in December and Jan, when we could have been out of sight in the top 4 race.

Mário César 1,332 Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 I don't think we came fifth either. I'll only believe it if City are punished with a points deduction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
