by Kick Mon Mar 10, 2014 2:13 am

we're doing quite well, Aren't we?

by Shed Mon Mar 10, 2014 2:20 am

A bit, yeh.

by Kick Mon Mar 10, 2014 2:27 am

I can't say I am disappointed with this season at all. Even if we don't win the EPL.

by Shed Mon Mar 10, 2014 2:38 am

I think we'll finish either 1st or 2nd. Based on the quality of our squad, and the fact that we're still well in the race so close to the finish line, this season can't be considered anything other than a success for me.

by Kick Mon Mar 10, 2014 2:40 am

I'd be stunned if we didn't finish top 2.

I'd be sad if we didn't win the title, but hey, this is the first time since 2010 that we've been hot contenders.

by Shed Mon Mar 10, 2014 2:55 am

Considering that we have a new manager (regardless his quality), completely changed such a big part of our team (our best player by a country mile of the last two seasons, through whom essentially everything we did came, was completely uninvolved this campaign), were for half the season without a single competent central-midfielder, and don't have a decent striker in sight, I think we've done remarkably this season.

by Kick Mon Mar 10, 2014 2:59 am

And if we signed a Solid LB (Shaw) a top CF (idc who, just someone top quality) and another top CM (Could you imagine if we had someone of Gundogan's quality next to Matic) we'd be unstoppable next season.

by Shed Mon Mar 10, 2014 3:04 am

All credit has to go to the manager.

Good thing there were people like me who believed in him fully right from the start :coffee:

I have no idea of what you speak.

:whistle:

by Kick Mon Mar 10, 2014 3:25 am

I could keep quoting the same line as it's still applicable.

Anyway. With City's ever congested schedule compared to ours does give us an advantage.

by Shed Mon Mar 10, 2014 3:36 am

But they're also now focused solely on the League while we'll still have, most likely, the CL.

by Kick Mon Mar 10, 2014 3:39 am

They still have CL Razz

Hoping they beat Barca, tbh.

by Shed Mon Mar 10, 2014 3:44 am

I's saying in all LIKELIHOOD, we will still be in it by the end of the second-leg gameweek and they will be out of it Chelsea 2013/14 - Page 22 2276801876

by Kick Mon Mar 10, 2014 3:47 am

I know, nevertheless, they HAVE to catch up on three games, because they idiotically continued on in the FAC to no avail. We, on the other hand, can rest those three games, OR, if we advance in the CL, have that three game wiggle room before they have a less congested fixture list than us.

by Shed Mon Mar 10, 2014 3:51 am

I am hoping this latest cock-up will only further eat away at their confidence. Kind of in the way being beaten by us did, then they went on to be held by abysmal Norwich and just barely eek past Stoke at home.

by Kick Mon Mar 10, 2014 4:04 am

Yes, that would be fantastic.

by Shed Mon Mar 10, 2014 4:08 am

Reckon it'll come on the 25th :coffee:

Sir Davy to give the nation another of his managerial masterclasses and beat the sorry lot at OT cheers

I hope so

Shed wrote:If you want to look at stats alone then sure. Reality is a bit different.

Villa away last season was the game we had the opportunity to tie up CL qualification in and we very nearly cocked it up completely. Went behind early on and had a player sent off on the stroke of halftime. Luckily Sir Frank bailed us out and we won in the end, but it was a very close game, and they weren't much worse then than they are now.

Owt to say for yourself Kickster?
