Perhaps that someone will be City. And don't forget they'll be playing catch-up by 9 points if they lose to Liverpool this weekend.

You of all people should know that football isn't mathematics. That I beat you 6-0 today doesn't mean I'll beat you 7-0 tomorrow.

Besides, City look more vulnerable this season than they have since September 2017.

Shaa don't blame VAR or injuries or refereeing if it doesn't go your way.
Lol. City have been unlucky with injuries and not beating Tottenham for e.g.

I will let you figure out which team had keepers slip or their strikers dive to get late penalties for wins.

Besides, when Liverpool lose it will also be 3 pts. How about that?

Since football is not mechanistic in predictions why do you think you have the right to say City won't win those 6 games?

Lol @ City look more vulnerable. You are just seeing what you want to see. In the 100pts season, they beat Southampton 2-1 and later 1-0 to win the league.

Everyone who watches football would have known Southampton will bunker and make sure they don't get disgraced again. Just like CFC did after losing 6-0.

So if you are looking for vulnerability. That is not where you will find it. You will find it in the fact that they have had injuries to key players like Laporte for e.g.

I shaa love the energy and confidence with which you Stan Pep Guardiola. However, he won't take 18 points from those games.
lol

Do I look like someone who cares about people's opinions here many of which are wrong?

I heard worse last season. Someone even said City can't win all the games after January to win the league. Guess what? They did. And they beat all these teams whilst at it.

Just pray for the whole team to get injured. That is the only way your wishes will work.

Luck can only take you far enough. And someone's luck will run out on Sunday.

Manchester City next 6 fixtures in the Premier League:

- Liverpool
- Chelsea
- Burnley
- Manchester utd
- Arsenal
- Leicester city

All i know is that, Liverpool is winning the league and Fraudiola won't win UCL.
Which of these teams did he not win last season?

There is a reason many people see CFC fans as....

I just need you to keep the same energy when he wins these games. Don't turn around to bring up money.

You shamelessly did so last season even after I warned you.

Yeah, we shouldn't be excited because the lakers are doing well. Did you not do the same with the warriors even last year? what happened after you won 73 games? just because your team can't buy a win to save their life others shouldnt be excited when theirs win? SMH.
You did not answer the Dwight question.

I am agnostic to whether you are excited about the LAL or not. I don't think 6 games is a good quadrat for your excitement.

Enjoy.

11 games and Pep is wetting his pants.
Lol. Journalists asked him a question. He answered. You guys want Klopp to win by all means which is why you are nervous.

Pep is playing respectable mind games. Just the way every coach after playing City will claim they make tactical fouls without getting booked. And before long, even simple fouls by City will attract yellow cards. Pep is doing same. That way, refs will be hesitant to give Mane a penalty if he falls. Nothing about wetting anybody.

By game 30 City would have already been ahead of Liverpool to the point that you will offer to pay me my money in advance.

You sef know already

Highest point ever
Second highest point ever
Highest number of goals scored
Most wins
This is why I never take arguments here seriously.

It is now about Golden Trophy and money spent.

When he wins UCL, it will be why did he not win his first season. Or that Ancellotti has won with a different club.

Seth Curry is just plain stupid, defending a last shot like that. Mavs defense lost them this game, you're leading by 3, why double team Bron who was going for a Layup with seconds left when Green was free for the 3. The buzzer beater 3 from Green just weak Mavs players. Poz was disappointing for me in that OT.
Dwight Howard pulled him. That was an easy foul to call. The refs again....

Is there anyone who doesn't want to see steph get spanked all season? If anything he just got a "get out of jail free card".
Yes he did.

Because you really think if Steph wanted to play Iso ball after Isoball he won't have great numbers?

When players around a system are learning it, it will always look off. But when they get it right, it will now be very hard to stop.

DLO will eventually get traded. That was their plan till Klay returned and it still is. Don't tell me you think the Warriors won't be back in a year or two. We're giving the league a break. grin

KD taking more subliminal shots at his warriors teammates. They asked him who his 5 favorite players to watch are.

Kyrie
Lebron
Harden
Embiid
Lillard

Seems the steph was a horrible teammate. cheesy
He does not like to watch DeAndre Jordan? Serge Ibaka? I thought he was very close to them. He is definitely throwing shade at them.

Who talked about trophy? Makes me think you have comprehension issues or just trying to be an irritant. You should read again. Klay is out for the season, Curry would take months so I don't get why you think your post would make sense.

Same person was hoping Anthony Davis and Paul George would join LeBron in L.A talking about how much help someone needs. The double standard.
Makes you think?

Even when we had our full team, we never were 31pts above any team in the first Q.

Something is wrong.

But better now than later. So I don forget this game.

Give up 43 pts and score 14 on your home floor.

What is your problem man? you seem to be pained that the GSW got a win. No body claims GSW is an elite team, we understand we are gonna be having a tumultuous season, you don't have to keep reminding us.
Please take note that every analyst who said GSW will not make the playoffs did so knowing Curry, Dray and Dlo were still there.

Watch those same people turn around and argue that GSW only win because they have all-stars. You will be here.

I saw his opinion and I laughed.

Steph has the most nature minded fan base. Just watch Lakers fans this season after they fail yo win the title. You'll start hearing excuses flying about. I'm watching and waiting
They won't praise San Antonio Spurs who have not lost but will praise Lakers for any win.

Lakers lose by 10 points. It is nothing.

Warriors win by 11 points. It is nothing

That should show you something. Fanaticism.

According to Durant, the best team mates he'll ever play with are :ibaka, harden, green and irving. The guy no put westbrook and curry, but that's his choice and opinion.
They asked him position by position.

And you would be a novice if you thought he won't mention Kyrie who had already called KD the best player in basketball even when he was still playing with Lebron. They are friends.

Also, KD went to The Nets because of Kyrie. Remember, they are yet to even play together as a team. That was a politically correct answer.

Sometimes you just have to look past the comparison which may trigger you as a fan and see things for what they are. Trae over 82 games, last season as a rookie, averaged 19.1pts, 3.7rbs and 8.1asts and over 3 games this season is averaging 34pts 6rbs and 9asts (which I know is early).
They are not saying he is better, they are not saying he can be better but as a Curry fan, he has the closest game to Curry in the league right now. Watch his games or highlights if you can. He did this over 82 games last season. There's no reason he can't keep up or even get better. I don't think he can beat Steph's efficiency because of how their teams offense are set up however, as a rookie, the boy is good.
Many of those arguments are really just knee-jerk.

Every single NBA player can put up great stats in spurts or for a while. Legendary status comes from doing it over time. Trae has potential but same us got angry when people said Lebron had the potential to be better than Jordan. And every now and then we like to show he did not quite measure up. The argument is neither here nor there.

For Trae to show any potential there had to be Curry. In fact, Curry's success is the reason Trae was drafted. In Curry's early days he was not allowed to shoot from any angle. He was even playing fiddle to Monta Ellis apart from the ankle injuries. It was his success later that made people feel they should not muzzle an unconscious shooter which birthed Trae. So the people suing for time before those comparisons are made actually have a point.

You do have a problem Man, where did I mention that Young has got no potential. Maybe you should quote it. For someone following this thread day and night you seem to have a short term memory. The first time I seriously considered your posts was when you argued Trae' s a better passer than Curry, and i further argued you shouldn't bring him into the conversation of top 5 point guard as he has another outstanding point guard in Doncic to compete against. I stand by my argument, and don't come here with your 'ignorance'. Anyone that disagrees with lebronsexuals is ignorant. I have said it, and i will say it again, if Stephen Curry is put in the same system Westbrook thrived he would even do better. Take it or leave it. Are you sure you are ok. Before you quote me again go and read your posts again. You stated clearly, 'Now that Curry is no longer himself, who is now the best point guard in the game' what does that mean if not knocking him down the perking order after 1 game. You even found a way to bring Trae into the conversation. Don't mention me again if you don't have a better argument. Peace.
Hot takes are part of sports commentary. Don't sweat it.
