1) Wouldn’t surprise me if Mansour & Khaldoon we’re very happy to see Napoli shipped to the EL after their Chairman’s comments.
2) Did anyone honestly think that City were really going “all out” to win the game?
3) Apparently, the sky is falling because City wrapped up their #1 position in their CL group early and could play the reserves in the Ukraine a few days before rather derby....and lost their first game in 30, dating back to last season!
4) #3 above is the evening’s takeaway from the dead rubber for the rag media who is itching for a close PL race this year between City, United, Chelsea and Liverpool.
5) Guardiola has lost his mojo. (Media)
6) City can’t score anymore...Aguero will be sold (Media)
7) OMFG...what are we going to do????
Been at work all day, settled in to read about the game and decided to check the papers and tinternet before coming here. Anyone would think we had just lost our 29th out of 30 games and been dumped out of the CL, with £1Billion worth of players on the field if they had gone by the papers. Then, in here, there are some doing a wobble about certain individuals, most of whom have barely played a competitive game, let alone a CL game away in the Ukraine against a team that was in a “must win” position.
Stunning to see the reactions of so many. Then, I saw the Mike Riley video from the Utd vs Arsenal game and the Clattenburg performance in the Chelsea vs Spurs game, and it made me nauseous to see Oliver reffing the derby! Almost writes itself, doesn’t it? So, who will get the red card, how early, and who will give up the inevitable penalty (at the Stretford End, of course)? Oh, and who will suffer the season ending injury from a challenge that doesn’t even get a yellow card?
I’m REALLY looking forward to the ACTUAL FOOTBALL MATCH, but fear the numerous, and massive, subplots might overshadow the actual event. You know, other than every rag pundit coming out and badmouthing us, Pep getting called a liar by Mourinho, and half the United team having something to say about how they are going to end us on Sunday.
Can’t make it up...
