I cant believe City bought Bernardo Silva and Danilo just to bench them. These are two players who would walk into our side now.

This summer we need wb, city need wb. We signed zappacosta, city signed Mendy, Walker and Danilo. 

Not sure how can we compete with them.

I am still angry at the defeat to West Ham but at least they managed to take points from Arsenal too. Oh and Liverpool drew too!

[Ledg 639]

With the number of 'crisis' we had this season already, we're still in a good place and we can be second this season. Too bad for us, City are so good this year.

Shame man u couldn't drop points as well but oh well.. Rest not to bad.. 

Man City are flying away. Rather them be then Man U however

Can't believe we had the chance to make the history that City did last season and we blew it(we are chokers IMO).

Pep doing everything that I thought he would and doing it so well.

Spurs away at WHL is never easy. Though they did it away to a Mourinho team, which is also extremely difficult.

I just hope that the club gives Conte the kind of transfers he needs to build the team that he thinks he can win trophies with.

I just saw highlight of wba vs pool because klopp was complaining about solanke disallowed. Simple hand ball, correct decision by the ref. 

I think he started to lose his composure

Klopp's the most protected species in English football, gets hardly any grief for the shit Liverpool serve up defensively.

[Milan 17,835]

Not only his team performances, but also his comments and touchline behavior and gestures aimed at refs. As I said, Klopp would get away with murdering a ref.

I also noticed that Lukaku had another moment where he could have been sent off. I think he could have seen more red cards than he scored goals this season. Another protected one.

4 teams fighting for 2 spots in the top 4. Hopefully we can hold onto that 3rd position!

[The Chels 2,502]

Just saw this on RedCafe about the points record: we had a crazy 61 points out of a possible 66 after 22 games in 05/06. Still didn't manage to beat our record total from the season before.

3 Spots...

It's 3 spots...2nd place is still very up for grabs.

Abso-bloody-lutely!

City are a genuinely good team. Finishing behind them will be disappointing of course, but not a disgrace. In the long run, we, and the rest of their would be challengers, have to up our game, or get used to watching them lift the Premier League trophy. In the short term however, none of the challenging group can be described as great. Second place is right there and certainly doable.

[Special Juan 27,111]

We will beat United to second place, I am 100% confident of that.

[LeonDavis23 371]

We can hope but the top 2 just seem a class above at the moment in terms of consistency. They've been 1st & 2nd for the entire season so far and also have the 2 best attacks and defence..

United are really not a class above us.. and they're definitely not City class.
