Inevitable really, the players gave up and when that happens only one man gets sacked.

Spurs are amazing. I thought this season would be between Manchester clubs, with Spurs somewhat behind, but I think league table doesn't lie. Spurs are better than United I would say and City is still class above.

Wouldn't be surprised if league finishes like after this weekend (1. City 2. United 3. Spurs 4. Chelsea), but Spurs could really even surpass United.

Sadly, I'm not seeing us getting in front of Spurs or United, especially not City. But 4th place isn't that bad either, it would teach us a good lesson.

And about Liverpool and Arsenal... Pool is just too much mess. My God that defense, relegation level defense. And Arsenal is Arsenal, no way in hell they finish in first 4.

I think City and Spurs are almost nailed on top 2 in that order with an outside shot of us sneaking in there if we get our act together. I think United are finishing 4th possibly even 5th, i really am not getting the hype with them atall.

Claude Puel to Leicester City, interesting choice.

I have to say I envy how comfortable all spurs CB on the ball, it allow them to by pass most pressing.

Embarrassing defending from Dier at this point in such a big game.

[King11Didier 916]

Thats why we hate spudssssss, f8cking twats, never gonna be a big team.

[Pizy 18,877]

I'm jealous of the way City approach each game. They look to dominate from the first minute and have their foot on the gas right away.

Against sides like this we usually allow the small teams to bully us and stick around. We get out fought. We don't look to impose our will on them. Part of it is personnel, yes, but mostly about mentality.

Sane is like Willian, except better in EVERY single way.

Seeing that Willian hustle, and Afro, on the wing warms my heart. Watching him split teams open, and not just do a step over and pass back, makes me the our Willian lol

So for the second match in a row after playing the best game of their season and beating us, Palace are losing badly against one of the worst sides in the league.

Meh we played poor they didn't. Other teams less crap against them.  I'd be annoyed it was a fluke win from them but nahhh.

Really can't stand Pep the bloke is so smug and the football media brown nose him and are in awe of the oily twat. City can win everything but they'll be always be the second biggest club in Manchester.

That stings even as a CFC lover.
