Well that's the thing, I can't say I'm gonna be jumping for joy at the prospect even if City win the league because it could still be one of if not our toughest home games of the season regardless of that. Big big performance needed from us whether they've won the league by then or not.

People getting too excited about the possibility of City being champions when we play them. Yes, they could turn up still half cut from the celebrations, but they could also just play with extra freedom, and the confidence of champions. Last season we started thrashing teams 7-1 when we played with simple freedom.

True but neither Leicester or Hull were playing for anything

How have Pep's previous sides done after wrapping up the league? Are they on the beach or do they keep on keeping on?
I don't imagine he'd let them relax, he doesn't seem the type. He looked like he was having a bit of a go at Sané after the whistle last night.

Liverpool beat them down hard. Lets not care too much about whether they are 100% and worry about us, and go put down a marker for next season by doing the same.

5-1 Spurs. No Kane needed.

No fucking way will Guardiola allow City to take their foot off the gas. It's just not in his DNA.

Best we could hope for is a few kids been given a chance but i'd expect the overall intensity to be there still.

+9 on chelsea goal diff is worth a point, honestly think a draw at the bridge would do it,considering Liverpool and Chelsea play each other.
I do too, easier said than done though.

If Kane is out for less than a month, I think we can cope. It might require that Llorente ups his game as the new plan B though.

If they win the league against United they will party, and party hard. Guardiola knows enough about celebrating to know you have to let them have that. But they'll still want to get a record points haul.

Can't say that I'm shitting myself over the prospect of facing City. It'll be a tough game for sure, but it'll be bloody tough for them as well.

If they don't win the next 2 and they're playing to win the league, then i'll be worried.
