A bit like the resentment CHELSEA fans have for you on this forum son.

Unless Mourinho parks the bus (which I'm 100% sure he will), United will get smashed by City at Old Trafford next week.

Fair play to Hull tho, I placed a bet on the them to be at the bottom of the league but they surprised me in a positive way.

I know I criticized the coach's lineup and I still think Matic and Oscar alongside Kanté is redundant, but top of table, bitches!!!!!!!!!

What a difference a few months can make. I still think we can at most compete for an UCL spot (as it does look like strengthening the defense is going to be yet another dream, but we're top of the league tonight, so who cares? I don't

Well, it's us or City, lads.

Obviously Man Utd will be there at the end. Just hopefully we will be close too...

West Brom vs Middlesbrough on a overcast Sunday afternoon with hundreds of empty seats oh the glamour of the Premier League.

Absolutely brilliant by Manchester city.

Nolito is really damn good...

Manchester city football is playing fantastic football.

And people said guardiola is overrated.  If you watch his adjustment and the way his team play you know that he is one of the best in the world

The work of their two maestros in Silva and De Bruyne is brilliant. Add in width with Nolito and Sterling and its a thing of beauty.

Crazy how quickly Pep has molded this team. They're fantastic. Every single player in their XI is highly technical from front to back. Their attacking players are also all very direct.

Still so jealous and sad about De Bruyne. Just imagine him with Hazard and runners like Costa and Willian. Damn...

Pep is good, but for the money they spent and the squad he has, the jury is still out. They played just as good under Pellegrini against small teams.

I like you, Ryan but you couldn't be any more wrong about Guardiola. It's not just about how well his teams play, it's about how they press without the ball and how well they defend. Pellegrini could never coach that. 

The thing that scares me most about City is not their players, but Guardiola. Because he's such an incredible manager, he has the ability to go on these very long, sustained winning streaks. When that happens, it's important we stay with them unless they'll piss all over the league. They're going to win a LOT of PL games this year.

It's good we have Conte then who has the record for highest points in a 38 games league and has gone unbeaten a full season before. We'll keep up.

Tru. But we need to get busy in the transfer window. The board are not putting him on an equal footing to Guardiola in this regard.

Like I said the jury is still out mate, let's just agree to disagree. I'm not denying he is one of the top manager, maybe his methodology and philosophy is great but he also desperately needs top quality players to execute. At the end of the day, if he can coach a lesser team for example Conte's Italy and still make his stamp, I will be convinced. But I don't think we can witness it because he always coach top teams lol.
