I reckon Pochettino will be off to Madrid when they realise Zidane is a complete charlatan.
Why do you think that Tokyo?
Attack the argument of the person, not the person of the argument- except Carl.

Results this season.
He has got no other experience so he hasn't got a record of success elsewhere to fall back on. And he only got the Madrid job in the fist place because he was a fine, if somewhat mentally flawed, player. I think they can do a lot better with the resources they have got available than they are doing now.
Your right leg I like; I've got nothing against your right leg. The trouble is neither have you.

He did do an apprenticeship via the B team and was in that role for quite some time.

I would be amazed if he is still at Madrid next season. He could well go after PSG hand them a beating in the CL.

Can’t see it happening.
Not that well liked by all accounts, particularly Mr. Charlton.
Too outspoken.
I know . Just fantasizing.
I seriously think they might go for Eddie Howe.

What about Eddie the eagle? Remember him. I would prefer him.

I think it's well merited, nay, deserved, that we have a laugh at their expense. All my life they have been lording it up over us, well now the boot is on the other foot and I for one will revel in it

If the boot is on the other foot NB, I think we might have to start calling you 'Caligula'.

The guy at Wolves would make the rags a very dangerous team imo.

I don't think Maureen will be at the rags very long.
He is an egotist, it is all about him, fine when he's number one but trailing his nemesis by so many points, seing his biggest rival, only a few miles away reating a team battering opponents with beautiful and almost carnival football and seeing his side humiliated in last week's derby will not sit easy in his head.
Maureen lives on his emotions, his antics at Chelsea and his recent near lunatic behaviour shows that all is not well inside Maureen's head.
The self proclaimed speial one isn't not only looking not so special, he's looking like a bloody idiot.
I KNOW THAT YOU BELIEVE THAT YOU UNDERSTOOD WHAT YOU THINK I WROTE, BUT I AM NOT SURE YOU REALISE THAT WHAT YOU READ IS NOT WHAT I MEANT

Hate to play devils advocate but I highly expect them to finish 2nd and their board to call it progress.
Then he gets another whack of cash to try and upshot Pep and his ego won’t pass that up. Only way I see him not being there in 12 months is if they finish a few spots below us or if they deny him more cash.
Tracking back is overrated.

No way they finish 2nd.
3rd at best and most likely 4th. Which, of course, is progress.

Can’t see them dropping two spots mate. They bottle it against the top 6 but will sneak a draw or two and they are decent flat track bully’s. The rest all too inconsistent for me.

Agreed. Almost halfway through the season and they're second. They beat all the shit teams, whereas Spurs, Liverpool and Chelsea keep dropping unnecessary points

So the assumption here is that we finish First - just like that - dangerous assumption - sounds like arrogance to me - kop on please
There are 22 PL games to go and all the cup competitions - a lot can happen - if anything happens to Silva or Brown the landscape changes.
The trophies are handed out in May not early December.
The signs are excellent for us but there is a long way to go.
I will celebrate when it is mathematically impossible for any team to catch us.
We are City, we will always be City - anything can happen - don't count your chickens......

Not counting any chickens mate my original post says I highly expect them to finish 2nd. Not guaranteed but I think us first them next is the most likely scenario at this stage.

If the rags finish second there us something seriously wrong. They are abysmal I expect them to scrape 4th at best.
