If we did I think we would have a much better chance than last season when Fulham and Brentford were a lot better than us.

Let's see where we are on Saturday evening Bournemouh and Middlesborough will be tougher challenges than what we have faced under McCarthy so far.

Brilliant performance yesterday that s what our squad are capable of. MM playing the right players in they right place and formation. With tomlin still to come back what talented game changing players up front. Wilson off for tomlin and Murphy off for Ojo at 60 mins or so and we are a really frightening team.

Tuesday will be a good test to see how far we come but I see nothing but a win for city. Way teams are stuttering we be making top two nervous in a few weeks.

As long as it rhymes with mick yes.
Disclaimer for the snow flakes having a rhyming nickname doesn’t necessarily mean it’s true.
My best man and friend is called rob and i always have and still do call him rob the knob. Nothing to do with his personality just it rhymes. He’s never complained or needed others to defend him.

Hope that helps clear things up.

That is for wanker. They tried but couldn’t find anything that rhymed with Mark. So just went with wanker. And I love it I don’t find it insulting in anyway in fact it’s a compliment on how comfortable and secure I make people feel that they can call me that. They even did me a name badge for a conference I spoke at. But that’s me I love all the banter and doesn’t upset me at all. However I am aware that people do get upset by it and people even get upset of other peoples behalf for them.
Hence why I refrained from using that name any more I didn’t want to cause upset to some.

After Harris last game, Gilo on Rob Philips phone in was saying the players are the most important not the manager. Could not stop laughing, no wonder he was not a manager as he does not have any idea. A new Manager comes in and the team win. Was going to phone the programme but could not be bothered, as they had the idiot Walsh on.
