Ah well, only one way this game's going. City are just machines when they're in churn out wins mode
The result at the end of this season after an exciting three horse race.

Pheel trips himself over and gets a free kick leading to a goal.
Referees helping City. Football 'eritage.
Yeah, there have been some strange calls this game against Brighton. That being said, the way City have played today there would've been no other winner.
Tottenham away.. people easily forget the 3-3 match at Ettihad..

This showed up in my feed today. And I've always said this was the tournament England's "Golden Generation" should have won. I say this because I think this was the only tournament Wayne Rooney entered without injuries(2006), private life stuff(2010) or suspended for the first 2 games(2012). Paul Scholes was still around and actually did quite well on that infamous left side position. Michael Owen still had something about him before he became injured all the time. England also surprisingly scored a lot in a tournament as well, which wasn't the case in other tournaments around this time when it was a lot of 1-0s and relying almost exclusively on setpieces from Beckham. That last minute Sol Campbell disallowed goal vs Portugal is still odd I think, Wayne Rooney of course gets injured in that game(does he ever play this well for England again after that?) so maybe they wouldn't be able to beat Netherlands or Greece later.
I guess things that were always faults that meant they never were gonna win this tournament:
- David James as the goalkeeper maybe isn't the reliable rock at the back you want. But I think he still was superior to some of the keepers later like Robinson, Green etc.
- Eriksson's tactics often gets blamed for not taking this team further in tournaments. His obsession with 4-4-2 and craming in the best players into that system perhaps wasn't the best. But I think his biggest fault was sitting back on leads and subbing strikers for midfielders and midfielders for defenders in quite negative moves.
- No Rio Ferdinand because of his ban. But I still think Terry-Campbell is a good enough CB partnership to go all the way
I think City wins all the their remaining matches(even Spurs especially if they play suicidal mateball), but I always thought the idea that Brighton was one of the their harder fixtures was not based on the reality of the current season. In their current form Brighton is probably the easiest of the run-in.
Forest is in a relegation battle and will be desperate for a point, just like last season when they took points off City.
Wolves already beat City this season.
Fulham destroyed Brighton recently too and took 5 points off Arsenal, they're just a better team this season.
Spurs is Spurs and West Ham might be playing for European football in the last match and have no qualms with playing terrorist ball..
I think they all perform better than Brighton.

If Spurs have nothing to play for though, there's absolutely zero chance they take points off City.

Welcome. Quite looking forward to seeing a 4-2-3-1 with this squad. Szoboszlai can do RW, probably see some of Jones on the left, Elliott or Mac as the 10, Trent in a double pivot? Could work really well I think.
Finished 2nd and won the Dutch cup, can see why he's the perfect Klopp replacement
In all seriousness though, no manager will ever be able to deliver what Klopp did for us so I'm not expecting the greatness we got with him, but a consistent Top 4 finish, a trophy every few seasons and decent runs in the CL and I'll be happy. The fact that Feyenoord fans seem to be gutted at him leaving is certainly affirming lol, I just don't know how he'll adapt to the PL or how well the rebuild will be. One thing is for sure, the press and certain sections of the fans will be on him from day one and that alone could be his biggest test

Happy for him, very talented young player. I hope he gets more opportunities to show his quality.
People are already billing United vs Liverpool as Walt vs Hank and now I can't unsee it, let's hope he's got the minerals for it.
It's a matter of timeMy manager would never join the bald hive mind.
😭
