**Official Other Games Thread, Season 2012/13**

They fudged up leads in both games. There defence is still toss.

Swansea, Spurs, Chelsea, Saudi Sportswashing Machine, Everton are all tricky games.

I expected to be further ahead of them and the fact that Sturidge seems to be making an impact is a little worrying. We have to play Saudi Sportswashing Machine Everton city arsenal at home and chelsea, liverpool and west ham( their cup final), Away.Think ours is more difficult
 
This is what our schedule could look like:

Sunday 03rd March
Tottenham - Arsenal

Thursday 7th March
Tottenham - Inter

Sunday 10th March
Liverpool - Tottenham

Thursday 14th March
Inter - Tottenham

The deciding period of our season.

Arsenal have the easiest of all 3 of us. The games at Anfield between us and Liverpool and the NLD at home are very important.
 
Interesting how we "miss Yaya badly" and "Hart is in poor form" when today we conceded for the first time this year. We've won every game while Yaya has been away apart from today and QPR, games in which he'd have slowed the game down too much.

I think the title's gone now, but it's not exactly impossible. All we need them to do is lose two games/draw three and we beat them at OT. We also need to win all our games, so if you were to put your reserves out at WHL that would be greatly appreciated.

Whenever I see City play I always think Toure is brilliant, but City fans don't seem to rate him. Excellent driving player if you ask me.

Never over until its over, I just can't see Fergie and co fudging up twice in a row. Will Bobby Manc definitely be gone if you don't win it do you reckon?
 
Yaya Toure is the best centre mid in the league in my opinion, don't get me wrong. It's just he's not the playmaker that Mancini is trying to force him to be. He just doesn't move the ball fast enough which doesn't help when it comes to playing teams which pack 11 behind the ball. I don't think it's a case of City fans not rating him, he's certainly world class. He's such a unique player, there is no-one like him in the world. His return will probably help us in the run-in. It's just our best football has been played while he's been in Africa.

Like you said, winning the title now will be very difficult. No team has ever had more points than United at this stage of the season. I think with the money Mancini has spent and the failings in Europe, and the expected availability of Mourinho in the summer, finishing anything other than top will see Roberto lose his job.
Personally, I want to give him another year. When he was hired, he was told to get into the Champions League after one season (did that), win the FA Cup by three (he won it in his first) and the league by five (he won it by the second). He's done better than even our ambitious owners have expected, so I think he deserves more than being sacked by the end of his first trophyless season.
That's just my opinion, though. We have new CEO and a Chief Executive, keen on creating a club like Barca in England. They probably have their own ideas about how we should play that doesn't sit well with me. Heavy board interference is never a good thing.
 
Will be an interesting "who can chuck the most money at Mourinho" competition come the summer between City and Chelsea.

Will be very surprised, if Emirates Marketing Project want Mourinho. Beguristain and that Soriano guy rejected him for the Barca job after meeting him personally, because Mourinho was too arrogant - and appointed Guardiola instead. And he has not exactly become less arrogant since then.

Chelsea on the other hand...

Another disappointing CL outing, if they also finish way behind United as they are on track to do after Mancini again spent loads this summer I think he's gone. Honestly I think he's as good as gone already, but they will wait until the summer when they can actually get someone in to replace him.

You may be right and they could perhaps go for someone like Klopp, but there are very few truly top managers around. With Guardiola already signed for Bayern I think they will go for Mourinho if they can get him.
 
Hate to say it but Liverpool are playing very very well at the moment. Still think it's slightly too late for them to challenge for 4th this season, but I reckon they could be a serious threat next year.

They are playing well, but I think we are playing just as well but without the cutting edge. It just goes to show the impact a functioning striker or two can have on results.
