Premier League 17/18 - Matchday 18

[Preacher]

Hypothetically speaking, in what positions Arsenal and City would be now, if Pep would be Arsenal manager, Wenger - City's ?

But tbf you didn't answer my question. Just gave me a Pep talk.

Ah right, yes, to answer your impeccable question: I don't have the figures to hand, but we can all agree transfer fees have inflated massively in recent years. Have this City spent more in relative terms than other teams previously?

What's more, what's the right amount of money to spend, in moral terms, to win the league and not be accused of buying the title? Do you have to spend as little as Leicester did? What's the right figure?

Even if City have spent more in actual and in relative terms than anyone else ever has before, you still have to outline an argument for why that mitigates their achievements on the pitch, which you haven't done.

Says a lot. But nobody will pick up on here.

Lots of posts laughing at us last week because Leicester beat Southampton away, when we could only draw. But Leicester lost 3-0 at home to Crystal Palace today. Chelsea just managing a 1-0 win at home to Southampton. That's how football goes. Few posters seem to understand the patterns or just football in general.

This season has been an absolute madhouse to be fair. Feels like we have two or three major upsets every weekend.

Need Bournemouth and WBA to do us a favor here.

Wenger would've already condemned City to relegating while Pep would have us in the Super Bowl by now.

Can't see it but you never know. Here's hoping...

Bournemouth winning today would be grand, but the next round is really important. We play Liverpool and all our rivals play away from home, Sp**s at Burnley.

The 2nd half of our season looks fairly kind fixture-wise, a good Xmas period could set us up well for that. Saying that, our play is pretty sodden right now, so I wouldn't bet yesterday's dinner on us doing the business.

Celtic 3-0 down at Hearts. Looks like that run is coming to an end

4-0!

TBH I can't take them seriously though - They've done nothing of note outside of Scotland - had some incredibly embarrassing results in Europe but they'll be in the record books.

Mind you, what a way to lose your "invincible" status.

If it wasn't for Pep & his boys Mourinho would be winning the league this season & this UTD. side isn't even that great.

Arsène wouldn't be first & probably neither would Pep but we'd be close.

This is so boring at least we make games interesting with our banter defending

 

[carter777]

United 1-0

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

What a header lol

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Bit s**t celebration

They are scoring so often with their first shot on goal. Arsenal and Liverpool needs about 5 for one goal.

My boy Lukaku is back
