WHO'S STOPPING MANCHESTER?

  They won again, Mancunia's elite won again. That's six victories out of a possible seven for Pep and Jose. Blue half delivering a masterclass at Chelsea, while the Red half splatting the red pigment all over Roy Hodgson's sorry face. They've been rubberstamping their credentials all campaign, with barnstormer after barnstormer. Still grinning eh, Harry Kane?
 
Manchester City grabbed three points at the Bridge, thanks to Belgian whiz Kevin De Bruyne. It wasn't that they won, it's how they won. Sheer domination, How's that Toni?
Chelsea got beat alright, but we've got to acknowledge the sheer ability of this team we're seeing. Possession stats showed Chelsea having their lowest (30%), since 2004. And the defending champions were at home. Stunned yet? The hosts offered little or nothing to ruffle Pep's hairdo.
We'll see how far they can go this season. But hey, this is probably the most dominant I've seen Manchester City in quite a while against worthy opposition.


"Keep trying to catch me!"
  Mourinho? His Playstation experts dishing out 4's alright. And oh, fantasy managers having a beer each time Romelu hit the back of the net. I'll like one, Sir Alex. Manchester United put four past a hapless Crystal Palace. Brit Teen Marcus Rashford embarrassed fullback Joel Ward before setting up Juan Mata to put the hosts in front two minutes in. A special mention goes to Marouane Fellaini who registered a brace. Ed Woodward shrugging his shoulders each time his side are about to do battle. They have a date Liverpool on the 14th of October. Guess Jurgen's already losing sleep thanks to Mancunia's own Red Army.  
"Who wants to be next?"

   You've certainly admitted this is a two-horse race, with both jockeys as focused as ever. So yeah the question comes up again: can they be stopped?

EPL 18/19: DERBY DAY IN MANCHESTER

       We’re not scared anymore. A rather defiant Pep Guardiola hinted in his press conference yesterday, as City prepare for their game in hand v Oleball’s Man United. Who will be the King Of The North?       Manchester United got thumped by a spirited Everton side this past Sunday. If that’s anything to go by, then it’s probably curtains for Sir Alex’s grandkids. Positive is, Old Trafford can be a daunting presence when needed. You just never know with this club. Ney still having mares of that night in the French capital. Last time out, goals from Kun Agüero and Ilkay Gündogan k illed off any comeback. Can’t be the same again yeah?  “Ole’s at the wheel yeah?” (c)bleacherreport.com      City fans have been chanting the Campeones anthem already, after Saturday’s win v Pochettino. No VAR sadly then. Victory the maximum, or it could just slip. Yes, that’s the word. Skye Sports confirm a certain Scouse just signed as a fr...

UCL 18/19 SEMIFINAL REVIEW: FIRST LEG

Europe’s elite club competition served up another dose of rich entertainment, not for everyone though. It seems you shouldn’t disrespect an almost-hallowed football ground.      Giant-killing Ajax Amsterdam added another victim to the list, with a deserved 1-0 away win at Spurs’ new ground. Donny Van De Beek afforded far too much time in the 18-yard as Hugo Lloris was left exposed. Spurs huffed and puffed as the game came to a close, with Dele Alli only forcing a save from André Onana. Special mention to Jan Vertonghen who recovered after taking a whack which left him bloodied for a bit. Pochettino still has hope as Son Heung-Min would be back from suspension. Ajax looked rattled for a bit as Sissoko and co chased and harried.       Fear it, dread it, run from it: Destiny still arrives. Did you really think Leo Messi was going to let this one slip?      Liverpool got taught the lesson of the famous smash and grab: Liverpool pl...

UCL 18/19: IT’S AN ALL-ENGLISH AFFAIR

      (c) https://www.teamtalk.com/  Cue Mo Salah.        Whew. Taken a breath yeah? This is why we love the game. It’s never over till AY says so, or the lady. What a 48 hours it’s been. This season has shown us one thing on different occasions: fortune really does favour the brave.     Brave? Or a case of the never-disappearing bottle. Barcelona threw away a 3-0 lead, again. Jürgen Klopp having another Istanbul-like night. Borussia Dortmund suffered the same in 2016. What makes this more special, is the fact that they did it without Mo’ Salah and Firmino. When you’re backed up against the wall, it seems that’s when true character is shown. Hats off for Liverpool, and to Jürgentainment Klopp. Who’d have thought too much passion would be a good thing?  (c) https://www.businessinsider.com/     Mauricio Pochettino did not sign a single player in the last two transfer windows, didn’t have the Kane Man, an...
