Hard to believe they play in League 2.

Really surprised at how good they were.

Foden was a class above though.

Game changed with Pep's subs. Have slated him in the past but Gundogan looks essential to the team now.

That compliment says it all about this game and the class you have shown on here. We know what we are, the club had to ask season ticket holders to donate their money for season tickets rather than ask for refunds, when fans were put on ice, and we did, Our reward was tonight, against a great football club and even better supporters. This match and your generosity will , I hope, always mean there is a bond between the two clubs.

Apologies for missing 26 pages but an Adrak curry from Urmston took precedence.
My thoughts - our alleged strength of the squad is bollocks. Many are less than ordinary. Its the few key players that change the dynamic. Foden was good but once Gundogan came on he was outstanding.
If I never saw Mendy , Mahrez and too some extent Jesus again it wouldn't bother me. We should package them up and get a top player in.
Laporte very rusty.

Agree with you on Mandy,Mahrez & Jesus. On Laporte - yes he’s rusty, but a part of me thought that he viewed Cheltenham, away, in the cup as beneath him.

Their total lack of enthusiasm to our goals had me thinking that we had missed them or was offside or something. Took me a good 5 seconds after each goal to be given the go ahead to celebrate. Shite commentery.
Won't bother rushing out to buy Murphys autobiography, sounds dreary.

You'll be able to read about his uncles , The Futcher twins who played for City

but again everybody is free to say what they feel because its a open forum
yes people can overreact and can say this or that about a player or manager and they think they are right
maybe its a way of getting the frustration out and makes them feel better

could be the worst thing that anybody has said or posted fuck me i know to well that ? people have got long memories and never let it lie hahaha but it makes me smile . but without the bad this forum would not be any fun
the knowledge of knowing somebody we listen or bite can be so funny

I don't know how people manage to post and watch the game so I don't see too much but when I catch up at HT & FT if we haven't won its bedlam, if we have won its as quiet as a mouse on sleeping pills.

The funniest comment was: "Now that De Bruyne is out will Foden get more game-time?"
Phil has played more times than KDB so far this season. In fact with 25 games he has the third highest appearances just below Sterling (26) and Rodri (27). These pundits are total morons. Can't they use Google FFS?

its just the standard media stance now , they dont look at facts and figures they just rinse and repeat other quotes , as ive previously stated Pil Foden has played more games at 20 years old (99 apearances) than all of Rags Class of '92 PUT TOGETHER, that's a fact that doesnt make the media.

I think, even withstanding his recent injury, that Laporte’s toys are still firmly out of the pram about now being 3rd choice central defender.

Won in the end . Foden was fantastic but it took gundo and cancelo to come on and turn it round but there was some cowardly performances out there tonight especially from Mahrez who when it was 3-1 started to do the tricks and enjoy the game well he should be ashamed of that performance and also Jesus needs to get his act together . because at the moment he is not on our level either . One thing it proved tonight aswell is that everyone clamouring to see him he likes of Doyle and Haywood bellis in the team need to face facts that they are nowhere near the he first team yet . Phil foden will become our greatest ever player I’m sure of it .

Can agree with 60% of that. Mahrez hadn't the beating of Freestone throughout although he did swing in some dangerous crosses
Harwood Bellis was playing right back and it's just not his position really .
Doyle was excellent first half but faded later.
Foden superb - will really help as KDB is now injured .
Gundogan settled things down when he came on. Moving the ball faster ,moving CTL around the pitch ,tiring them
Cancelo added a crossing /passing dimension which we lacked.
Dias didn't do too much but seriously he does have that air of confidence that gives all of the players a boost. What presence. His sheer addition on the field of play woke the team up.
Laporte was definitely fouled for their goal.No wonder he ran up to the referee.
Tozer also stole 7 - 10 yards up the line for that throw in. No wonder Pep actually got in the refs face to complain the next time he tried to do the same from roughly the same position after we were winning 2-1.
Great subs by Pep. btw
Garcia was sublime first half. No excuse though for the goal as May has got to be picked up.

Does he really think people are interested in hearing about his second rate career? All delivered in that dull, monotone voice?

Yeah but we were spared details of his sex life. Only just though.

Thanks. We had a similar experience when we travelled to Newport. Their fans and their club were total class. I thought your team were superb tonight and so were your Chairman and Manager. I am gutted I couldn't go to the match as it is a ground I have never visited.
Cheltenham gave us more problems than many Premier League teams and they showed more courage than those teams who just sit back and defend. We were lucky really. It was only an inspirational peformance by Phil Foden that got us through. I'll follow your results from now on. Good luck for the rest of this season.
