View from the Away End

I can’t decide if the hornets are first class wind up merchants or just stupid people in general. I suspect it’s both. We have definitely got under their skin though, and the comments on the match thread are so ridiculous they are funny. Fortunately, we won’t have to worry about them next year, which I suppose could impact our goal difference for the season. Any win will do, but a thrashing would be most welcomed.

COME ON CITY!!!

And the rest…

Is there a more utterly pointless fixture in world football? Even the flagellants among us (myself included) still watching by Brentford last Saturday are surely going to go about their lives this weekend as though this is not something taking place in this particular universe.

The 9-0 PL record win is in danger this weekend for sure.

Here's a very small positive note for this fixture. Away from home we are marginally better organized. We played alright against them at the Vic and actually managed to score a goal against them. We only lost 2-0 at Anfield, got a very fortunate 0-0 at OT and only lost 1-0 at Arsenal and Spuds.Surely - that is a sign we can step out onto the hallowed turf and avoid a smashing? Yes I am clutching at very thin paper straws here, I know that.Or is going to be the general shyte-our-pants performance as per ususal?

Lost our last 14 matches to this lot by an aggregate of 53-7. Remarkable stuff.

I for one, am a huge advocate of the European super league. I don't want to compete with this level of corporate monstrosity. I dont want to be like them and I dont want to watch them v anyone, lest of all us. I would be delighted if every year we went out to nobble their players and were hugely open about it. "We've re-signed Holebas for the weekends game and hes raring to get stuck in and end Raheems career". They're about as morally acceptable as the Russian Jimmy Saville Nazi reform party but nobody gives a ****.

Well I for one am looking forward to us at least helping City catch up to Liverpool's goal difference as the extra 10 vs us should help them and could be crucial to denying the scousers the title.

Manchester City, as far as I care, are a nothing club. They are the pay-to-win kid that uses cheat codes. An irrelevance to football.

More and more big hitters are getting involved and eventually the PL will be a much more level field… just not for us. First it was the big 4, now the big 6… Newcastle will become Man City on steroids there’s no doubt about it. Money does in theory buy success and in Everton’s case, with a world class manager in Ancellotti, he managed to make a rubbish squad look half decent. The money is filtering it’s way down the to Championship, meaning every year it’s going to be harder to achieve promotion. I hope we are there at the top next year, but with potential opponents in Norwich, West Brom, Burnley, Sheff Utd & many other teams with a strong PL past it’s going to be the toughest ever.

Our superstars will put themselves in the shop window, pundits will applaud old woy for how organized he’s got us in the few months he’s had.
Citeh 4 Orn’s 1

Sundays Wembley result means since the PL began Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Man C or Man U will have won 28/30 PL titles and 26/30 FA Cups…It’s ******* boring.

As you rightly say who actually watched the FA cup semi final. Boring as **** now. Which or the boring top 4 teams will unvaryingly win this year.

It’s not the teams that are boring, it’s their engineered dominance.

And yet Spuds still think there's a 'big 6', lol.

Unfortunately in this day and age football isn’t about winning things but money, and in that sense Spurs are one of the big 6. Sky are obsessed with the race for the the fourth CL spot, but none of the teams that can get it will have a hope of winning the CL, it’s just the fact that qualification nets them an extra £40m, which of course is the romance of football and what it’s all about.

At least Luton will freshen the PL up next season.

I’ll be washing the cat and walking the patio.

Got to admit I did snigger at this.
Aldo enjoyed the stat we've won the last 14 games 53-7

I myself would simply be happy with a win. Three more points and one game less. Smashing them would be nice but I don't think it will come down to GD and 7 is a lot to catch up
