It's still a 3 horse race and its mid march, there are 4 teams vying for 4th spot.

For the Premiership thats quite good. It's it?

Actually can you change my vote to Too scared to commit. Oh it's not visible to the public is it?


what was it originally?

Surprisingly, considering the author, this isn't a bad thread.

The PL's always had its share of teams who are too scared of going down to commit to any decent football. Actually that's exactly the style of football City are playing atm, so who are we to complain?

Wenger got a bit of grief a few weeks ago for saying Villa play the long ball a lot, but after watching them a couple of times in the intervening period you'd have to say he has a point. It might be why Dunne's looking better - he's known to love the hoof.

If a team wants to be great, they definitely must know how to play from air. like even messi scored a header in the cl final with that height, but villa and stoke take it too seriously i guess

today's results have done us little harm. Spurs won as expected but they are now 3 games in front. Villa's draw still leaves them 3 points behind on equal games.

A good win tomorrow will ease our goal difference.

This to me is still the most worrying part of the race for 4th

i think the home form thing has been a bit overblown. it's always mattered, but it seems it is being emphasised this season. which is hte most open and entertainin season for a while. three teams for the league still, lots of dropped points by the big teams, a scramble for fourth that is quite open, and the relegation end seems quite finely balanced as well, apart from portsmouth.

i really hate this laptop's keyboard.

I know it's more competitive, maybe I just don't care about it as much as I used to. Just seems more predictable. Too many teams playing dour defensive football to stay in the league.


Probably this. I've been like that, except where City are concerned. It's to do with getting older, I think. It happens to some people (not the getting older, obviously).

Even so, I'd still say this season is more fascinating than it has been for a long time, even though that seems a strange thing to say given the above paragraph.

I'm pretty sure that does happen.
