Why no media uproar about the dodgy offside decision. The media seemed to think it was funny the decision

Replace Rashford with Erling and ratface with Jack and City would have broken football if we'd had scored that and the farcical decision that was given was then allowed to stand in our favour..

Which obviously it wouldn't have been because as everyone one watching knew, it was fkin well offside..!

Cheating in plain sight and the media just point and laugh..

*u**s..!

 

[Rammy Blue]

Liverpool fans have never booed their team. Ask Danny Scouse Murphy.

Liverpool fans booed yesterday when they conceded in the 3rd minute, clear as day.

I think we got away with Pep’s last but one blast at the fans. It wasn’t really picked up by opposing fans on the terraces. It could be different tomorrow and from now on given the amount of negative articles, publicity and opposing fan comments after Pep’s latest blast about the lack of 1st half support against Spurs. We’ll find out tomorrow from the Wolves away support.

different game today everyone knows our record against Kane flick Son 1 nil isnt great so tense atmosphere and 2 soft goals right on halftime added to poor ref again letting teams kick us, but over reaction yep queue media pile on
the rags are back

it's been turned in huge joke and city are moaning again

The "forget where we've come from" shite really gets on my tits.
Over 80% of our history has been spent in the top division and only one season on the third shelf. We won two titles, six (or possibly seven) second division titles, four FA Cups, two League Cups and the ECWC long before the takeover.
I started going to games in 1968 when we were a top club; I'm still going 55 years later and we're still a top club.
The seasons in the second and third tiers were the blip, not the top divisions.

Fantastic column by Holt today, of all people.

He's hit the nail firmly on the head.

Even gave Jim Tolmie a mention :)

 

[eastmanc]

City the only team in the history of football to boo, let's have wall to wall media exposure about it. Fucking pathetic.

It really is isn't it.

Giving whiskey Jim a mention is always a bonus.

Ha ha , good one. Better asking Brendon Rodgers, he will tell you otherwise.

OLIVER HOLT: Man City fans can boo, but they know how lucky they are

OLIVER HOLT: City, who have won the Premier League title four times in the past five years and lie second in the table, conceded two goals to Tottenham just before half-time and were booed off.

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

The DT this morning informs us with his usual footballing veracity that Pep has indicated he'd fuck off if he lost the dressing room. Well, in the first instance, I can't think of any manager who has continued in post having 'lost the dressing room', and secondly, I don't believe a fuckin' word of it!

Meanwhile, they report that Arsenal have turned the Emirates into a fortress!

 

[train man]

Fair play to Oliver Holt for this. Thought it was pretty reasonable and fair.

On the whole, but two gratuitous statements wrongly say, yet again, that we are state-owned...

 

[train man]

Don’t think he actually referred to City as “state owned” tbf, although he does lazily imply it.

But he specifically does Ric...
"especially since they were bought by Abu Dhabi in 2008"
"whatever one’s view of state ownership in the Premier League, it seems perverse to begrudge the supporters the times of plenty they are enjoying"

I still maintain that the majority of the booing was directed at the ref!

Have you listened to Peps pre match press conference? It's on city's website, and he does infer that he would leave if he lost the dressing room.

First article I’ve actually enjoyed reading about city in a long while

They dont begrudge it for supporters of the red tops though, just us blues. And I feckin' love it the bitter bar stewards;-)

I think you are making it up.

Sky/BT never mentioned it, nor the BBC, and I've seen nothing on the back pages. Honestly... ;-)

 

[creditunionhero]

Can’t speak for the whole ground, of course, but everyone around me was aiming their ire at the ref at half-time rather than the team.

I agree it was directed at the ref, I was complaining about him from the 5th minute onward, wait till our next CL fixture, when we boo the CL anthem, they will claim we are booing the team even before we kick off.
