Funny how subbing a LB at HT can make such a big difference. Maybe Pardew was ahead of his time… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 4 minutes ago, LFEE said: Was just saying that to my mate. Basically we had the wrong type of ref when we played Bournemouth. Fair play still to Bournemouth of course their finishing was excellent on the day. The ref however suited their tactical fouling on the day. Small margins. They were much better than us and deserved to win Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they're actually plucky underdogs. My sentiments exactly. No fans, no soul, no decent song book, just the luck of geography. Brighton, Bournemouth, Brentford - they’re all “find and replace” clubs with each other’s names and the same story. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HalloNUFC Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 6 minutes ago, Stifler said: You could argue Spurs and Arsenal as well. Spurs wouldn’t be as big as they are if they weren’t located in London. Arsenal moved out of an area that they shared with Charlton, Millwall, Crystal Palace, and to a lesser extent West Ham. They moved into an area that they only shared with Spurs. Arsenal being a London club who can pay higher salary was a factor that they could lure herbert Chapman to join their relegation threatened club, dumping his title winning squad in small huddersfield. These lot now lecture about "financial doping" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 So where does that leave 6th and 7th places then? Assuming City and Forest finish top 5, would both 6th and 7th be Europa or just 6th? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFEE Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 2 minutes ago, joeyt said: They were much better than us and deserved to win Not disagreeing. Just merely pointing out the fine margins in games. A different ref and us getting more fouls would’ve made a difference. Actually just holding on to 1-1 until HT could’ve been enough. Reshape re group. However wasn’t to be and they scored a second just before HT. Ran out worthy winners but everything they hit felt it went in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If whoever wins it, already qualified for Europe, then it will drop down a place in the league, to 7th (assuming England get the extra Champions League place).

Yeah, I meant if City or Forest finish top 5, and either win the cup, it's EL for 6th and 7th? Didn't make it clear Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they're actually plucky underdogs. Tend to agree. Location doesn't just attract players, but it attracts ownership groups in the first place. Don't get me wrong you can't really begrudge clubs being well ran but it does make the league a bit boring. The same imbalance is happening in Italy (although the north/South divide is flipped). Small northern teams like Como, Venezia, Monza being bought out because of their location and cultural cache while bigger clubs in poorer regions flounder.

The College Dropout Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Want Forest to win the cup. Elliot Anderson and Wood from ours. Proper club. FFP Brothers. And almost certainly finish top 7 unless they implode. Dont see Brighton catching them and the rest are too far back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely football goes beyond just what is supposedly good for us (and I’m not sure it makes a difference anyway). You look at how impressive those scenes were yesterday and so many fans of other clubs have been genuinely happy for us and enjoyed seeing teams win stuff fir the first time in many years, fans going crazy etc. Yeah you won’t see any of that with City. Just the same old. Wouldnt mind it for forest or if Bournemouth had won But fuck palace and fuck villa Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is his bio on man City's website. "A player able to operate in a number of attacking positions, Nico has progressed right through the Manchester City age-groups since signing with the Academy aged eight. An England youth international, Nico is most often deployed centrally as an attacking midfielder." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
