Unless you're City apparently. And, as discussed, we all know how they've got there so, as I may have said: fuck them!
It’s not about criticism though. It’s about reality

The reality is that the Villa defeat proved more costly than the other two. Might that be harsh given we won fifteen out of seventeen since the start of the year? Yes for sure, but given City’s relentlessness it’s also the cold hard reality.
