Mission: Impossible (part I) City v Villa Thread.

[StevieM]

Fuck me pink - really.

I think I've heard it all now.

"According to my formula used to calculate stock prices - it is impossible for West Ham to draw with Man City"

Aaahaaaa - a hahahahaha!

1. Sublime skills of Downing.
2. There are always 3 outcomes of a game no matter what the statistics of the season.
3. Your prediction of 5-0, although close, was still wrong.

Ergo - bollocks

Mullet - it is not bollocks, you just don't feel the team dynamics at play on the pitch. West Ham have managed 7 draws this season mainly against the lesser sides. Very unlikely that they will hold out against City for a draw. The options available to them using Big Sam Tactics as we all know is that they will lump it to the top for Andy to cause a few problems and they may get a lucky break. That is all they will have. As for my prediction for the Villa game - even if it was wrong - it shows how the same result as last season was almost replicated.

Downing does have sublime skills - as every manager has pointed out. He is very gifted - only problem is, he choses when to turn it on, and I have this strange feeling in my bollocks he may decide to turn up for the City game to spoil the party by banging those crosses into Andy.

 

[moron]

<--------- This guy?

Yeah - that guy - the guy that has a deadly shot, can cross and beat players when he choses to. That GUY !!!

 

[Modo]

Wouldn't surprise me that if he finally gets something right it won't be in a red kit.

I am counting on it. Both him and Andy to fuck up City on Sunday - what a dream team.

So City have scored 100 goals and conceded 37 . That's pretty impressive and i guess at the end of the day the table doesn't lie , if you're top after 38 games you deserve to win. But i'm still not convinced they're that good or really special .

Look at this video. Stop it at exactly 4:14 and see how we are lined up as Palace lob the ball forward. Now remember, we are only leading 3-2 here, we desperately need to win and Palace are playing with three up front.

How can the manager not be going crazy on the touchline getting men back to fill our box with bodies? Skrtel's got two men on him (ffs) and zero help. Just what is the manager doing at this point?

You're wrong. Our defensive line is too deep when the ball is played forward.

Seriously, just don't.

jaysus , watching that again after a few days and it's even worse than i remember . Fucking useless defending . Wouldn't bother me too much if we have a completely different back five next season (yes i know they aren't to blame for every goal we concede but still they aren't good enough ) .

And if the defence is too deep all the time why aren't they being told not to do it ? They've done it all season so it's obviously something the coaching staff are happy with

 

[localny]

Can I take a moment to say I love this thread title. It sums it all up perfectly.

 

[hamstrung_pigeon]

Pellegrini's thinly-veiled snipe at Mourinho:

Pellegrini added: "I think it will be very important, not only [to win] the title but in the way we are going to win the title if finally we win it. I think we have a style of play, I think we are an attractive team, I think we score many goals and we are always thinking to score more goals. That to me has the same importance as winning the title."

"I am very happy to win the title this way. There are different ways to win titles. I choose this one with attractive football so that the fans enjoy the season. For me, the aesthetic part is very important."

What does the Keeper of the Great Book of Jinxes have to say about this by the way? Or does City have a band of witches and sorcerers who render them immune to jinxes?

 

[Hansern]

He's jinxed it

The fat lady just cleared her throat to sing. And it will be over one way or another this week.

Shhhhhhhhhhh 😉

Que?

You're better at sticking your tongue into Mourinhos's arse than at understanding football.

Incredibly he's managed to get every single part of that analysis incorrect.

It's really quite something.

 

[Fox]

What must Gerrard be feeling at this point

 

[tombrown]

Some 18 year old blond?

You try doing analysis when you're miserable ... It's not easy.

 

[Glock21]

Fucking hell do we fucking need to worry about what Citeh do until the end of the season?

Bloody hell.

 

[FoxForceFive]

Just under 4 days. Yeah, that's a killer that.

It's not like it's important should they get manage to get beaten by West Ham & we beat Newcastle or anything.

Everyone should look at the faces of players when palace scored the first goal. The expressions say it all - even being 3-1 up our players have that look aa if to say we have fallen behind or we have lost this game. That one goal fucked them up because theyy were only focussed on sorting out GD.

Oh and can i just say that city managers comments after the game against villa was class.
