Sit back and draw would be fairer. Newcastle x2, Palace, Wolves, Fulham.

My daughter is 5 next weekend. She is a "Chotnum" fan because I say so.
She goes to bed at 7pm because I say so.
She eats her veg because, you guessed it, I say so.
At some point she'll have a say in all these matters. Much as Mason probably did when he was a little older than 5.
The first Newcastle game you're revising. We thrashed them 1-0 for 95 minutes then got robbed by the ref. At no point were we ever sitting back or hanging on. Just very unfortunate not to add to the 1.
Beat Palace 4-1
Beat Fulham 2-1
Still have a chance to Beat Wolves, which I think we will as they're done now.
The standout not-win in your list is the Newcastle 2-2 away. That was the point where I absolutely couldn't defend Mourinho anymore. It was a fucking awful watch from start to finish against a terrible, terrible team.
Has anyone, including Man City got a 100% win rate against the bottom 10 this season though?
I take you word for it,and glad to hear i was given wrong info.
To be fair,the fella said he was an ex st over there and never mentioned the word supporter.Maybe he knew and was on the wind up.
Probably not but as we've been so abject against top half teams we needed to dispatch more of the rubbish than others. We've done ok-ish at that but winning even 2 of those games we sat back in against poor opposition and i think we'd be looking at top 4.
Man City can afford those slip ups as they also beat other top 7 or 8 sides. They didn't constantly throw leads away against poor opposition.
Both need to happen imv
A little bit more on Mason's football supporting background, this time from his own mouth..................
"I’d fallen in love with the club at seven years old.
My family has split loyalties. My grandad was brought up in Battersea, so him and my dad are both Chelsea fans – both were season-ticket holders.
But I joined Spurs at seven, and I’d get to go to every single game at White Hart Lane. We used to train in this little court by the ground, and afterwards, we’d go up to this tearoom for some biscuits. On the way there, I’d sneak into the stadium to have a look around. That was when it hit me just how massive a club it was.
It didn’t make my dad a Tottenham fan before I was playing for them, but he could sense my love for it and how much I wanted to play at White Hart Lane".

But still, the rumours will persist because the earth is flat, that man never went to the moon and COVID19 is a hoax.

Sorry but imv he was out of his depth
What does history tell us re: prioritisation? It doesn’t matter who we get as manager under the current rabble, 5% chance of that working out
Yes we need a competent DoF and a competent coach but really we need Levy and ENIC to fuck off
Exactly. We dont have that much problems at all beating the bottom 10 teams. Theres a reason why sheffieldutd have less than 20 points still. They are rubbish. We need players/manager who will get us the win vs the top 10 teams. People dont like to admit that for some reason.
I agree. He probably was. But at this stage of his career, that’s nothing to be ashamed of.
I hope he learns a few lessons from that game, applies some of them to the remainder of this season, then gets a managerial job at a lower club and earns his stripes.
If that all works out for him, then I’d happily have him back a few years down the line.
Exactly - ENIC are going nowhere mind, so the bald dwarf needs to stand down, or take a non exec role in the football club division
cunt
I think it's a little arrogant to suggest we simply chose to sit back and wait for the 1-0 win.
It's disingenuous to the opposition for a start. Wolves were pretty damn good in the 1-1 at their place. Palace, having weathered a huge storm for an hour then played well in the 1-1
Rather than suggesting the problem was tactics applied by Mourinho, I'd rather condemn the section and substitutions. He repeatedly picked shit defenders and kept changing the players around in it. He relied on wank like Winks and/or Sissoko when we needed to shore up the middle. You could argue that's all he had at his disposal.
And he clearly had an issue using some our attackers, Bale, Vinicus, Bergwijn seem to get very little game time.
I think he probably cut his nose off to spite his face is what I'm saying.
Not Ryan’s fault arguably but even I was incredulous when he brought Sissoko on!
Who made that decision ?
Of course it was Ryan's fault !
He's a numpty with his feet off the bottom !
No no no, Winks ? Old boys club!
