Arsenal did it. They were deemed the invincibles all season. Watching them batter Wimbledon 5-0 and coasting to the title was more fun than watching Manure slog it out season after season.
We held Liverpool to 0-0 for three quarters of the game - how much better are City? Or am I just clutching at straws?
Of we don’t field a team don’t we automatically get a 6-0 loss. Might be worth just doing that and resting the players
"Cheating Sovereign Wealth Fund. Your just a cheating sovereign wealth fund" Or is that chant too middle class
Or we were beaten 3-0 by Liverpool in a quarter of a game in which they also had a player sent off ...???....and City are much better.....
Good LORD, I only came on here to read about the FA Cup draw and had no idea we were playing City tonight. Why is this happening? Some kind of charity match? Do I have to go? Prediction: Watford 2-0 Man City, drab home win with little incident.
Nice little stat. Watford are trying to make it a hat-trick of wins against defending champions tonight. 2016 they beat Leicester 2-1 and last season they beat Chelsea 4-1.
I'm assuming games don't count if you're not in the country. I'm therefore denying the existence of this encounter. We proceed henceforth.
I would have agreed but Capoue’s red card has made that difficult. You could tuck Hughes inside with Chalobah and Doucoure but that means Deulofeu on the wing and as much as I think he should play there, he doesn’t add much defensively to a 5 man midfield. I can only see it working if you put Wilmot in there and keep Hughes wide. While on his day, Deulofeu is one of our better players and the type of player to at least make City’s defenders concentrate, he looks like the player that doesn’t quite fit a solid/rigid line-up tonight.
Good call. The only problem that I see is that there’ll be a gaping hole when we have a man sent off.
Huddersfield appealed Mounie’s red card yesterday and it was rejected on the same day. We appealed Capoue’s on the same day yet no news?
If we lose tonight, it will be our worst start to a campaign since promotion. Quite a turnaround from our best ever start only a few games ago. That's football for you. Season 2016-17 22 pts Season 2015-16 21 pts Season 2014-15 22 pts
What we really need is a Plan D for when they're 3-0 up after 20 minutes - and a Plan Z for how to defend a lead if we get an entirely unjustified pen in the first five minutes
No need for a plan Z. We don't get penalties unless the opposition come onto the pitch with baseball bats.
