It was me being sarcastic in case you missed itLOL, that's naive ;-)
I legitimately thought that was us singing it!
We mustn't get too giddy with an eight point lead. I seem to recall a team who squandered an eight point lead with a lot less games left to play. Can't for the life of me remember who it was. I think they steadied the leaking ship in the last game with a win at Sunderland, but the damage had been well 'n truly done. I also seem to recall that a Vinny bullet header figured largely in the demise!
Heeh heeh heeh!There were several key moments that season... Yaya against Newcastle, Vinny against someone
Spot on..... Brentford are the new 'Anti football' side of the Premiership. Made for torrid viewing and the sooner they get back into the Championship where they belong the better. "Small Team, small mentality!!Them singing boring boring City made me laugh. I dont think I have ever heard rival fans sing that about City. Heard us sing it about City as a piss take when 5 or 6 up !
Proper flashback to early Mancini. I wonder if we'll hear it a bit more when we are in game management mode, it seems to be an emerging criticism of City (with Liverpool being the great entertainers and the people's champions, naturally).Them singing boring boring City made me laugh.

Perfectly putDid think Toney was a wanker throughout the game, real snide one. Brentford were very limited and their game plan was to keep the score down. Most times they had a minimum of 8 behind the ball, including a back 6. They have done reasonably well with the resources they have and made it really difficult for us.
Think Brentford is the ground you see when landing at Heathrow. Suspect their attendance last night was full of non bees fans.
We put in a thoroughly professional performance and the 2 offsides were a damn sight more marginal than I thought last night.
Some players looked tired last night, Ake and Phil both shone. Jack played it a bit safe and I felt could have got more involved.
What I find upsetting is fellow blues calling for grealish to be sold, or that Cancelo is a ****, Jesus is shit etc. They put the shirt on, they deserve our support throughout the game.
I've called out Rodri, Gundogan, Stones, Raz, Jesus,. Cancelo in the past......shows how little I know about football!
It does take players time to get what Pep wants. Players can also have off games without being cunts. Just get behind the team.
As an old school City like you the one thing you never do is take anything for granted .We mustn't get too giddy with an eight point lead.

I saw that! Not me sadly and I saw his scarf in the crowd and his tweet too to the SF City supporters group, but I didn't recognize him.
TBF I live outside the city so I usually go to a local pub owned by a Palace fan for midday matches, though sometimes I do go to the official City pub in downtown San Fran.
But today I spent a delightful day at a friend's house for the match with a pizza and IPAs (he's a neutral, but his daughter is on a full footy scholarship to an Ivy League college . . . and is a rag, though like many US rags, she is far more realistic about how shit they are than those over there . . .)
I am hoping/planning to be over in early April, but am still wavering dependent on COVID, and whether I'll be able to get into matches without that NHS stamp; I'm vaxxed and boosted so hopefully the UK finds a way to let non-UK supporters in . . . .
I did, it was late.It was me being sarcastic in case you missed it
I definitely think Grealish is under instructions to slow things down, not make a killer pass or try a risky dribble. Probably so we don't get countered.
Mahrez, Sane, Bernardo, Gundo etc all took time to come good under Pep
The only thing that was annoying me about Grealish, (he needs to be given a chance to adapt to the way we play) but he should have been hugging that left wing when Jesus had up to 3 guys on him at points on the right, and he kept getting drawn into the play. Very naeve positionally.Any criticism of Grealish is extremely premature and properly raggy.
Anybody with half a wit should recognise that every player we have signed in recent years (Dias excepted!) has taken at least a season to settle into the system and deliver their best.
Rodri, Gundogan, Mahrez, Bernardo and Cancelo all struggled to start with.
Grealish’s qualities are not in doubt and he will come good when the time is right.
Class is permanent.
You haven't done Norwich or Southampton away then! It's their main chant too.Not only that, they were doing the "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh dog sh*t ahhhhhh" to Ederson. I haven't heard that since the early 90s!
Heeh heeh heeh!

The whole team has played like this for 18 months now. The key is recognizing when you can and can't attempt something, which I think Grealish will learn, but it's a very clear set of tactics to only try something when we can't get countered. We're not as swashbuckling as Pep's first great team, but are not nearly as vulnerable to counterattacks as we were. How pundits who are paid lots of money to analyse these sorts of things are missing it, and that Grealish is playing to instructions, is beyond me.I definitely think Grealish is under instructions to slow things down, not make a killer pass or try a risky dribble.
