Merson is going overboard with his praise on Sky Sports Saturday at the moment about us!

He basically bigged up Leslie and in particular he was impressed with the signings, all having Prem experience. He said that if we are in the top 4 come January, "who knows, with the money and a couple more signings, they might even go on to win it"

Did he start off by saying 'hi I'm Paul Merson and I'm high on Crack'?

Supprisingly not. Maybe he's actually off it now and can actually see whats going on.

Merson used to say decent things about us until we got Sven, then he went really anti us. Obviously he's not Sven's no.1 fan

No mate he said "Could someone please remove the leprechaun from the room before I give my analysis?"
"Like all bullies, they've just found out that there is a much bigger guy in town, someone who is richer and more powerful than their worst nightmare. And this smiling Arabic assassin is intent on stealing all the treasures they've nicked off everyone else, and pulverising them into commercial and footballing oblivion as he does so."

He was never me,me,me but always you,you,you

It gets worse:
Alan Hansen: Man City Stars to End Excellent Fulham Record at Eastlands
These two sides met in the Carling Cup just last month and it needed extra-time to separate the teams for Man City to go through. I don’t expect this match to be quite as tight with City glad to be back at Eastlands where they possess an excellent record.

Mark Hughes’ team have now won their last 6 home league games including three wins this season. They’ve already beaten Arsenal and West Ham at Eastlands and will be confident of a London hat-trick this weekend. City have actually now won 12 of their last 13 league games at Eastlands although it’s worth noting that the only defeat in that time came against this weekend’s opponents Fulham.

Roy Hodgson’s team have been relatively erratic this season but will be buoyed not only by their 2-0 home league win v Hull last weekend but also their excellent record at Eastlands. The Cottagers are not renowned as one of the best travelling Premier League sides but they have now won on three of their last four trips to the blue side of Manchester. This includes scoring 6 goals in their last two visits. It’s hard to imagine that Fulham will find Eastlands quite so enjoyable this season with City’s array of attacking talent fit and available.

Successive draws at Aston Villa and Wigan have slowed down City’s momentum but this match will be viewed as a game they should win. The Citizens have scored in every match this season and although they’ve conceded in the last five in the league, City should be too strong for the Londoners. Hughes has a plethora of attacking talent fit and available ready to unleash on Fulham. The Cottagers have actually conceded two goals in each of their last three away games (all defeats) so the likes of Emmanuel Adebayor, Carlos Tevez and Craig Bellamy will be confident of goals.

Despite Fulham’s excellent record, this City side bears little resemblance to past City teams over recent seasons, so I’m backing the home side to get back to winning ways on Premier 10

And to top it all off, guess who:
City are a strong and very determined team. Manager Mark Hughes is slowly getting most of his players fit. Soon he'll be having the problem of naming his best XI.

Fulham haven't been brilliant on the road and I think they'll struggle at Eastlands with their massive workload. Three games in six days (two league games and Europa League tie) can't be a great prospect for them.

Verdict: 2-0

If all 3 of 'em have us going in the right direction, there can be only one outcome!!!
In the words of my Old Man, "Life will never be the same without Man City, so get it in while you can".

I would rather they didn't to be honest.

In a few months time when we are cemented top 4 and looking at the title they will be preaching how they said it early in the season and knew all along and pretending like the last 18 months of abuse didn't exist.

I too was surprised (shocked) to see them all praising us on SS. Whatever next?

Funniest part of the show though is till Thomson trying to big up Liverpool and say they're not broke. Hahahahahaha.
