How Good Would Your Week Be?

Postby Beefymcfc » Sat Sep 17, 2016 7:51 pm

Not tempting fate but how good would your week be if Watford won tomorrow?

After all the claims that the Rag media have made about them being the real deal (after playing next to nothing), where would their standing be going forward?

It'll be bloody hilarious.
Not that unlikely either.
Best thing will be all the egos blaming each other.

It would be akin to the Moyes era - aka 'the gift that kept on giving'.

It's already been a great week. A defeat for the rags; and spuds for that matter would be the icing on the cake. Can't see them losing three on the spin but Watford are no mugs and it will be a close game.

I've seen 2 of their games and in each they got beat through, what I thought, were dubious decisions or unlucky breaks. Costa should've been sent iff against Watford and the the shots they had against Arsenal should've have paid them greater dividends; Arsenal keeper was exceptional.

They are no pushovers and the Italian organisation is becoming more clear.

Would be hilarious and round off a great week. But really I don't need anything more than what's going on at City for it to be a great week.

Ian Cheeseman has tweeted something about not wanting to go home but just wants to watch City play another game.. I feel the same. Watching the EDS beat Munchen followed by the first team in midweek.Today the under 18's followed by hammering Bournemouth it's all a bit special.

We all know it cannot just carry on like this...... can it? 4 away games in a row now will really test the team big time and I do expect some players to be rested for the first Swans game. He has to surely but who will stay in so there is a degree of consistency. KDB deserves a rest but with Silva out is that realistic!

Sorry about the edit mate but spot on with the first two.

As for the 4 aways, I think we have the strength in depth to just do the opposite. He is resting players, as seen today, and rotating like I wanted to see under Mancini and Pellers.

I don't think this is so far fetched but I get the feeling that Pep is aiming for the Big 4.

I certainly don't expect Pep to field a weak team, as you say it's a top squad but there are some players more special than others :) Vinnie to play, with Zaba, Navas, Sane and maybe Silva will be back for KDB to rest

What a nice conundrum to have (insert smiley face).

I'm done with last week, time to look forward to this one. What other teams do is of little consequence, although a few slip up for both scousers would be good to give some breathing space with the bigger European tests to come.

Can't bear to watch or listen to the Watford-United game. It seems most times I tune in or get a stream it is just as they score. Just want them to lose. If they end up 6 points behind that would make my week, only to be bettered by them going out of the EFL Cup at Northampton on Wednesday.

It would be great fun to see the rags lose but it couldn't be a perfect week for me as the dippers won on Friday

United to lose. Dublin to win the All Ireland final would round off a perfect week in sport.
It's not too much to ask for surely.

True, but the dippers only reduce a perfect week by 5%, rags losing increase it by 95%. :lol:

Well I did check the score online on the BBC website - just after Rashford had scored. Glad I didn't look again until after full time.

Very happy :D :D :D

Don't you just love karma!

Hornets boss Walter Mazzarri had numerous run-ins with Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho during their time in Italy - with former Inter manager Mourinho saying the Italian was a hard-working donkey that would never become a thoroughbred.
