Man City Perfection
“It’s not going to happen. We are going to lose games - it belongs to Arsene Wenger and his amazing team.
“What is happening now is an exception. It’s not normal what we’ve done.
“We’ll try to maintain it, but we are going to lose games.”
-Pep Guardiola
I don't think Guardiola is blowing smoke. I think City are going to lose this year. It sounds preposterous to my ears and (obviously more importantly) to his ears.
City play at home to last year's runner-up, Tottenham, tomorrow and they are an absurd 11-20 favorite. Tottenham have been a disappointment domestically so far this season but have collected more points in the Champions League than any other club. They are a quality side and manager Mauricio Pochettino knows Guardiola from coaching against him in Spain. Knowledge did not lead to many favorable results, however and Pochettino is without his two best defenders tomorrow. I have no reasonable doubt that City will win tomorrow but if I were a betting man (and I am) I would unhesitatingly take Spurs' 5-1 odds rather than risk 20 £ to win 11. That is absurd.
I don't think Guardiola is blowing smoke because he is ruthlessly intelligent, boundlessly ambitious and knows with Voltaire that "The perfect is the enemy of the good." Of the excellent. Perfection is the enemy. Of trophies. That is what Guardiola wants and you get no trophies for joining Arsenal as a Premier League Invincible who crashes out of the Champions League against Celtic Vigo. He has already won the Premier League. Since he arrived in Manchester Guardiola has had his relentless focus trained on a trophy in the Champions League which City has never won. That was his charge from City Football Group. It insults the intelligence, the ambition, and the practicality of the man to think he would pursue the enemy of his job's goal. That is risking 20 for 11.

Tonight I’ve just realized again how good David Silva is. His composure on the ball, as well as his vision, passing accuracy, ability to read the game, pick a pass, and control the tempo of the game is, truly Magical!

Olé's in England, Swansea City fans applauding Man City's tiqui-taca. Pep's revolutionizing the PL in a way I couldn't foresee: he's changing public opinion.
It sure reads like City were a tremendous machine today. Secretariat! Get on the header, boy. Good Seccy.

It’s tough for a team to maintain focus after winning the League but Man City doing an excellent job at Swansea tonight.

Hey @NBCSports why do u always have to show us @ManCity games when they're expected to easily win? Tired watching them win and win. Enough with it now. Opponents seem to suffer from inferiority complex, hence leaving themselves to humiliating defeat. #ManCityhater

Little Trump, get off the header, it's a blue sky day.
And in 'bout two hours the Sky Blues play Swansea. Blue Angels, no clouds, K? Don't harsh my mellow. Swans are terrible, DEAD LAST, which makes this, in the American patois, a trap game. We started teenagers and the elderly in the Champs League match at Shakhtar to conserve the A team for the Manchester derby. We won that and now have to play Swans in Whales? Next to the term trap game in the dictionary is this fixture. City, what you did at Old Trafford will be gone in a poof! if you get "cocky" and play disinterestedly today. Do not do that. Thank you.

Do you realize, Trump is such a loser he is that rare individual to lose an election twice.
He endorsed Luther Strange in this primary. At Mitch McConnell's urging. Against Brannon's urging, who was Moore's most prominent and enthusiastic backer. Moore was the anti-establishment authentic Trump candidate. Then Strange went and lost. Trump was so humiliated by his impotency he deleted his Strange-endorsing tweets, remember that? Had a hissy fit on McConnell. Was reluctant to get burned twice so didn't endorse Moore for awhile. Then did. Tweeted "No! Doug Jones." Told everybody at a Klan rally in Pensacola last weekend to go vote for Moore. Now Moore has lost.
Trump is political anti-matter. Lost his own election to a girl by almost three million votes. Loser. LOSER! Impotent, Illegitimate Trump.

"Donald Trump and Steve Bannon are politically impotent."
That's what I've been saying. But nobody listens to me. Mother-fuckers are literally impotent, too.That's the subconscious origin of cuckservative. Like my Klansman brother. All of them politically cuckolded by the BLACK MAN, Barack Obama, and m-b-t-k literally by his wife's former boyfriend, a Black guy.
You know why this was so close? Check the exit polls, very few said their decision was based on Roy Moore's predeliction for pedophilia. It was so close (they say) because Doug Jones was pro-choice. What they don't say is that Doug made his mark as a public figure by prosecuting the Ku Klux Klan. That cuts close to home for many Alabamians. For my-brother-the-Klansman it woulda. Mother-fucker probably drove from North Carlolina to Alabama and clandestinely registered to vote so he could do his part to take out an existential threat to him.

I’ve counted at least 25 times where Steve Bannon said in speeches that “This election is a referendum on Donald Trump. A vote for Roy Moore is a vote for or against Donald Trump.” OK.
