Premier League Week 34

Difference is the gap between us and City is bigger this season and our GD is superior.

Don't worry, be happy.

The GD probably won't be in our favour if City catch up.
 
Just take the free kick normally for feck sake. That was crying out for a curling free kick inside the near post. Idiot.
 
I will never forget what they did last season.

We are not playing well, they are and we know what happened last season.

Then just bet all the money you have on a City win. You'll make a fortune at the current odds. Happy days!
 
It is a ridiculous excuse. Despite Kompany's limited availability City still have the best defence in the league. His absence is not the reason they've been shit.

The comparison with Vidic is such that he's our best defender by a country mile, but he's played less than half of our games this season, whilst Kompany has played more...yet City have kept the most clean sheets and lie miles behind in 2nd place.

There are more obvious issues with City this season, mainly goalscoring AND the fact they've been poor defensively with big Vinny. Their early season form wasn't too different to ours when he was fit, where they were conceding for fun.

His absence certainly is barely a viable excuse for the gap IMO. His own form and the form of their attacking players is why the gap is so big.

With and without Kompany in the league this season:

With: Win percentage of 64%. Loss percentage of 9%.
Without: Win percentage of 60%. Loss percentage of 20%.

It's not the only reason for their limp defence of the league but has clearly had an impact.
 
Good changes, push Dembele further up and replace Sigurdsson with Holtby.
 
The Stone has been brought on to bring his own special brand of silky shitness to the proceedings.
