Honestly we can never ever win with some people
City v Club Brugge, City didn’t sell out, embarrassing fan base
City v PSG, they did sell it out but it didn’t sell out till the day of the game, embarrassing fan base

Which clown said this? It sold out weeks ago. We have become the victim of many myths.

You know things are going well when we start to attract the cunts. They’ve traditionally gravitated to Man United and Liverpool.

And sadly we are, cb3 last night 5-8 next to me plus about 8 behind. I assume students as the group had every English accent going. After 15 minutes 4 decide to go to the loo, cue seat swapping and pissing around. For the next 25 minutes they were all at different times going for or coming back from a piss and climbing over the seats. I told them to stop acting like children and it went nasty. One dick in particular wanted to show how big he was. One even admitted he was a Leeds fan.
15 onto 1....I'd gave had them all. :-)

Biggest game on the planet last night and the headlines are about the losing coach joining the rags

Agreed.

I've posted over the years about my disdain for our UK sports media in similar vein to other Blues in this thread and my incredulity at its attempts to hawk anything from misleading opinions to downright barefaced lies about our club.

But today's a new one for me. Let me explain.

Coming away from the ground last night to Piccadilly, our group (consisting of Old Gits like me to younger school/university kids) talked about what we'd just witnessed.

We came to a general conclusion that, whatever our ages, City's performance was probably the best any of us had ever seen (and for me that's since 1959!).

This conclusion was based on how the team played from minute one; how it dealt with the challenges PSG posed, one of the most technically gifted sides on the planet; how the team (and most notably Walker, Rodri and Bernardo) coped with the abilities of PSG's 'Three Kings', each of whom could kill any team given a moment's space, no matter how well or badly their team is playing; how City responded (on and off the pitch) to going a goal behind (as my sister put it, 'They were like a band of brothers.. unlike PSG, as good as they are'); and especially how the crowd responded throughout the game to what the team was doing on the pitch - with so many staying behind to applaud the lads off the pitch when Kyle Walker led the team to all four corners of the ground.

There has been the odd article today which has praised City's performance, let's be fair. And this has made for good reading, especially after MOTD2's similar analysis of City's qualities last Sunday.

But the majority of pundits and articles have followed the click-bait route and 'analysed' last night's events through the twin lenses of 'Why Poch should go to OT' and 'Weren't PSG useless?', ignoring the breathtaking intensity, skill and thought City showed in winning the game last night.

These people could have had, for once, a free hit against the usual anti-City garbage they produce. A chance to write/say something that would enable them, in the future, to counter our criticisms of them and point out 'Ah but look at what we said about City here..'

But they turned the chance down. They're even more gormless than I thought.

Brazil was brilliant this morning on talksport. Spoke about last night’s game for 5 minutes all about how bad psg were and how lazy their front 3 were. Then played a clip of Jason cundy front last night angrily talking about how bad psg were. They then changed the subject to ronaldo and how good he is! And then spoke about where they’re having their Christmas doo!

Whilst also saying “what’s this world coming to, it’s getting ridiculous” whilst referring to the trouble he has to go to now recycling plastic and taking his own carrier bags to Tesco! I don’t usually listen anymore but quite like Mccoist. It was interesting lol. Car crash radio that had to be listened to especially when gough joined them. How Brazil is still there I’ll never know
