This really isn't knee jerk, but sadly I think we will finish 4th. Some results really do knock the stuffing out of you, and the Arsenal result seemed to hit us for six just like Blackpool away did last season. I think Liverpool or Chelsea will win the FA Cup. Van Persie the most injury prone player in the league somehow STILL hasn't got injured and you actually expect him to score every game now. Plus they will never lose that knack of scoring so many bloody late goals, season after fecking season.
I really hope I can laugh at this post in two months time when the final table reads: 1. City 2. United 3. Spurs

Couldn't disagree more. We didn't deserve to lose today, and it was against United as well
I don't think we did either, but everything is going against us right now. Look at how well we played at City, and yet we lost. Arsenal got battered by Liverpool yesterday and somehow still won the game in typically late fashion. They've got arguably the second or third best player in the world on current form who shows no signs of slowing down.

It's not about us playing well or us not deserving this or that and the sooner people realise that the better.
Our attitude is utter brick (especially against the bigger teams). How many times have we seen this following sequence:
* play good football
*control game and miss chance
* opposition score a totally undeserved goal out of nowhere (usually from a corner too)
* heads down, feel sorry for ourselves, moan that we don't deserve it, cry and feel sorry for ourselves a little more
* concede a couple more goals out of nowhere and game over.
Look at the match thread ffs. People actually predicted we'd go 0-3 down now. It was predictable brick because that's exacly what we do against the bigger teams when things are not going our way. We have no one bar Parker, Gallas and possibly Ade and Sandro that will fight until the end. The rest are just followers that love to feel sorry for themselves.
As i've been saying for a while, it's fudge all to do with our technical ability it's mentally where we fudge things up.

Don't agree with this knee jerk AT ALL.
We just lost to Man U. Who we ALWAYS fudging LOSE TO... not like its a new occurence. And this loss came despite playing pretty well (which happens a lot too) and the scoreline not actually coming close to reflecting what actually happened. But whatever, they are more clinical than us, are more ruthless, have a better winning mentality.. all true.
Yet, despite this
No 1. We are still in 3rd place. 4 points ahead of 4th. With a relatively easy run-in once we pass the next couple of games.
No 2. We have a home tie against a League Two team to make it to the quarter final of the FA Cup. An FA cup of whom we are the highest ranking team in English football left in.
Close thread. Season far from over.

Well if someone offered me 4th right now I'd tinkle on their hand
I won't be able to fudging bare it if we finish below the scum this season after their complete ****s of players have given it the big uns. Were better than them FFS! lets show it against Everton.
it was all so bloody predictable, its the way the game has gone that has upset me, i'm not angry, just, just, the only word is heartbroken, it was another embarrassing defeat, not embarrassing because we played badly (we didn't), but because we are what everyone always accuses us of being, not quite good enough
None of this positive flimflam about the bigger picture, and some historical reacharound please - we bottled 2 of the biggest games, mid 90s style
All knee jerk in here
