Tonge moor green jacket Posted March 22 Posted March 22 They (Leeds) have to play wolves and Burnley at home yet, so would fancy wins there. They play spurs away, and West Ham away final game. Seven games left, three points ahead. Win those two home games, and avoid defeat against those rivals, and I reckon they would probably have enough. Quote
Tonge moor green jacket Posted March 22 Posted March 22 I'd also add that Spurs appear to have a very difficult run in, especially given their form. Quote
Stig Posted March 22 Posted March 22 Anyone who thinks watching us is boring should try watching an Arsenal game. I'm nodding off Quote
Didledee Posted March 22 Posted March 22 City well on top and deserved the goal, but seems a mistake playing Kepa now instead of Raya, where Trafford made crucial saves 1st half in a cluster, that's all Arsenal really have offered so far. Quote

deeane Koontz Posted March 22 Posted March 22 Arsenal are a dull as fuck team considering the money they've spent. Get in the fucking bin. Quote
desperado Posted March 22 Posted March 22 It’s Arteta’s weekend to be shit and get grief. It’ll be back to Pep next weekend. Quote

Modern ways to concede a goal - faffing around unnecessarily at the back (Newastle goal v Sunderland), bringing 11 back and not actually marking anyone (Villa's 1st v WHU - truly bizarre) and now add the fashion for playing your 2nd string goalie in a cup final. Well done Arteta, if you don't really want to win a cup, fine but I bet the fans would rather have gone with their strongest team for a showpiece game, this wasn't the 3rd round at Port Vale. Quote

Arsenal so boring, but I get they won't care if they win the league. Pep turned City into a team that's easy to get at, not unlike us defensively in terms of the oppo not needing to attack a lot to score. With the money they've spent, its not a good look. City well deserved win today obviously, but they've largely under achieved for a good while especially in the context of the likes of United, Liverpool and Chelsea not offering a challenge (except Liverpool last season).

However, I watched his interview at the end of the match and he still looks depressed, he needs a move away from City in the summer as he's not going to displace Donnarumma and isn't happy being on the bench. Taking away football rivalries Man U should be the obvious club, he's far better than any goalie they have and they could pay the kind of fee city would want. Then there's Chelsea who have limitless ways of getting round financial rules, and he'd be an upgrade on Sanchez, but noone wants to go there. All things considered he'd be best coming back to us and replacing Bonham. Quote

To be fair to United's current keeper, he's the best they've had for years, I can't recall any obvious cock ups which puts him up there with the best in the league. I genuinely don't have a clue what his name is but he's decent. Quote

Tonge moor green jacket Posted March 23 Posted March 23 He shouldn't go anywhere near Chelsea- manager changes hardly conducive to a settled club. He is in an around the England set up, so look for a club where he is likely to start most games (first choice), and be within a settled set up. Reckon some stability would suit him right now. Newcastle may pull the plug on their manager at the end of the season, so avoid them. The likes of Brighton, Sunderland, Bournemouth etc may be better. Quote

But I don't claim to have studied all 3 properly, just looks like the least of Newcastle's problems is their keeper. Quote

Nothing in Ramsdale convinces me he's a top goalkeeper Weak on crosses and just doesn't seem to deal with shots all that well And hasn't he had three relegations on his CV with three different clubs Quote
