Think I heard that's 8 penalties in 8 games for City. Ridiculous. Have we had a single one yet? I can't remember.

We got one in the first game against West Ham. But how we didn't get one against Hull and today is really questionable.

Just stumbled across the league table....despite all that has been talked about regarding a crisis and sacking Conte and all that, we're just 3 points off the top of the table!

I get we haven't had the toughest starting fixtures, but points are counted exactly the same against any opposition. For me, win against united next week and it's fantastic start to the campaign.

Well this is how media works. If Conte is 3 points from the top, Chelsea are in crisis, Conte will be sacked... :D If Jose is 3 points from the top, they are brilliant, they will win the league. :D

I don't think they played that bad. Everton had only one chance the whole game and city had 2 penalties and one goal. 

My point is that a few weeks ago City were about to walk this league. And now they are not that good at all. The title race and top 4 will be so tough this season..

Nah they won't walk this league because Epl has plenty of good teams and city is not a super team like Barcelona or RM. 

However I still think  they will win the league because  I have watched maybe 4/5 of their games so far, and they haven't played  badly in any of them except maybe their 1st game

Something is wrong referee in Epl. How in the hell that was a red card for Granit. If that was a red, we are going to have at least 2 red cards every game 

I didn't see it live, so I don't know where the referee was, but my first reaction was that it was cynical, he had no chance of winning the ball and he kicked out at a player that had beaten him. Then you get Barrow going down the way he did. It looked worse than it was.

im guessing it'll be successfully appealed.

Oh it was cynical and it was intentional but I thought it was more of a professional foul.  He didn't swing it violently, it was just a bad call imo

I'm sure Barrow's reaction didn't help the case when it happened live. I totally agree with you.

I think Mourinho likes to play Liverpool. So hopefully it's a good match. 

I'm hoping for a score draw here. We need to gain ground on Liverpool but I don't want manutd to overtake us.

This season is so annoying, we are competing with Mancity, Liverpool, Arsenal, Tottenham and Manutd for a top 4 place. So we need two teams to drop off for us to get in and only manutd seem to be the ones who are not playing well so far. At first I was thinking that just beating the smaller teams as we've been doing so far could be enough to make it, but it seems we need to at least not lose to our competition to make it. In the past seasons, Arsenal could lose to the big teams and still make it but now I'm not sure that will be enough.

Harder now than ever before to get champs league. Hopefully tottenham collapse late in the season and Manutd flop so that we sneak in. :ph34r:
