Beauseant 0 Posted December 12, 2012 We are currently unbeaten in nine consecutive League games, the best ever run in City''s Premier League history, having beaten Arsenal, Manure and Swansea away. This was all achieved under the management of Chris Hughton a man that many posters apparently couldn''t wait to stick the knife into this morning.He rested key players last night and tried something different. It didn''t work, but so what? If we win on Saturday (and please don''t trot out the "last night will have demoralised us" line - we couldn''t have been much lower than we were going into the Arsenal game) I will be more than happy with our week''s work.

PurpleCanary 5,587 Posted December 12, 2012 Oh dear, and I have the gall (I stopped short of saying cheek) to accuse others of derailing threads...I don''t (of course) disagree with the OP at all. I think there is extra frustration this time because of a final at Wembley appearing to be in reach. But also because there now never seems to be a time (just as under Lambert) when we could forget about the league for a game or two. Just as it doesn''t look as if we can ever divert money from the playing side to - say - stadium expansion, so when can we ever give priority to a cup game over the league? Either because we are in a relegation fight, or just wanting extra money for a higher finish, or we are trying for that bloody ludicrous Europa League, or a Champions League spot.
