I've seen a stat being trotted out that, with their draw against Boro, City have achieved the most away points in a Premier League season with 35 Given their current total is 66 points, what that stat really says is that City's home form this season has been pretty average - but nobody'll bring that up, because that would be admitting Guardiola hasn't been utterly fantastic in his first season...
Guardiola's continuing the problems that Pellegrini didn't address, not least how there's a complete lack of leadership in the team when Kompany's injured - and since Kompany is guaranteed to miss at least a third of the season, that should've been addressed two seasons ago.
Yup. Coming out with **** like "oh we dont train to defend" wont help either. Thats fine in la liga when barca will have 75% possession and will be camped in the opponents 18 yard box. But in the PL where even the bottom clubs can punish you on the counter.... Not so good
He's a chequebook manager. Been found out by managing a team that isn't brimming with world class players in every position
And teams don't roll over in the same way. Players with weaknesses get found out because they are tested. Bravo been being the obvious example. And how good a motivator is he when all you can win is a Champions League place he's usually wrapped up at Christmas?

Just watching back the highlights from today's games and I have to say you will not see two more shameful dives than Rashford and Mane. Video technology really is the only solution to the problem. When you think that Boro and Swansea could be relegated off the back of those decisions - an eventuality that will cost them millions, video replays is a fair and cost-efficient solution. As for United and City, they can go **** themselves. Would like nothing more than for both of them to miss out on the top 4. Yes, I know that means Arsenal will have to take City's place, but so be it.
The Sun have Citeh preparing to sign Aubameyang from Dortmund. They suggest that Iheanacho will be offered in part-exchange Forgive me but isn't that like trying to buy a Ferrari and producing a roller skate and trying to work it into the deal?
The GD has effectively got Spurs CL qualification (unlikely Man Utd will see the nightmare scenario they need, actually come to pass) . Similarly if Spurs get one more point the GD will effectively secure 2nd place.
