Had this been Fulham or West gam or pretty much any other club supporter barring utd I imagine the fan would have been left alone.Yeah I'm sure it does but not as a rule. Usually because some idiot is mouthing off.
I think Alverez will take the KDB role with Foden to a lesser extent.He's been poor due to being played out of position and we're not seeing his natural game. Unless Haaland is out, I don't think we'll see him getting any starts when KDB is back.
This is exactly what I meant and I am also happy I was not the only one noticing it. :) The number of times he literally just pinged the pass back to the original passer or just redirected, it didn't look like his normal game. He was neither directing tempo or flow of the game. Even if that was forced on him by Pep, I didn't see any good coming from it. Apart from that pass over the top to Kyle he wasn't in the game all, he played more like younger Rodri from AM days.
Pep scared? Not having itIt kind of says he’s a bit scared to gamble. We needed something different, Oscar Bobb would have been a good swap for Alvarez who was poor, as was Foden in the second half. we tried seeing out the win at Chelsea and yesterday but couldn’t.
Gvardiol for Alvarez might have been a decent bet to shore up our defence/midfield pushing Akanji a bit higher upSo, either risk playing Stones in a game where it seemed pretty obvious the Dippers weren't going to beat us OR bring on Lewis who would get leaned on, go down and we're down a man in counter attack?? The Bins have a mobile mid and we don't at the minute.
Adding Lewis would NOT have helped otherwise... wait for it... Guardiola WOULD HAVE SELECTED HIM!!
Obviously awooo.They got into a violent argument about whether it's ahoooo or awoooo.
Because it’s fucking nonsense. The only fear I’ve seen is from various posters on this forum with no bollocks whatsoever.Pep scared? Not having it
I think Alverez will take the KDB role with Foden to a lesser extent.
They both have a lot to learn and we will see dips.
This was a tough game. And what we gain with youth we lose tactically.
KDB will know how to change his game to be more effective and making the team more effective.
It will be painful watching KDB play himself back to full fitness.
I totally agree. They are 90% a fucking horrible, weird, cult like bunch. But in south stand 3 just after they had scored, I was ashamed to be a city fan. Two dipper fans stupidly were in our end and got rumbled. They weren't celebrating or being dicks. When they were ‘persuaded’ to leave, on there way out they were attacked, punched, kicked and thrown down the steepest stairs in word football. Cowards kicking fuck out of them as they tried to get out. It was like a pack of fucking monkey’s. There was blood on the stairs and in the block entrance/exit when we left. Totally uncalled for and made us look every bit as bad as we think they are. Made me realise we are as bad as them, which I never thought I’d EVER say. It made the rest of the game irrelevant for me and has stayed with me all night. I’m so sick of everything about this wank country. I’m sure the hundreds of kids sitting around us would have learnt so much. Well done dick heads.
I share many of your thoughts. I celebrate this great team at every turn but boy does it strain my capacity to not get down and disgusted regarding all the layers of shit we have to wade through. Believe me I understand that winning big and winning often always creates haters but I've never witnessed anything approaching this level of enmity toward any sports club in my lifetime. I've been a fan of the Boston Celtics my entire life so I know first hand the haters that come along with winning "too much" but the ill feelings toward City are at an entirely different level, especially when one factors in role that the media in the UK play in this matter. I get the whole fuck 'em all mentality we as City supporters often put forth. Hell. I'm normally first in line with that, but being 100% honest, it can be deflating at times. Some of the shit I see and hear makes me boil, but it also saddens and disappoints me. That said, it is what it is. Doing what City have done over the past decade plus undoubtedly makes us a legendary side. Doing it while getting slammed and slandered in all manner from all angles, opposing clubs, opposing fans, the media, UEFA, the PL makes it all the more impressive...I like that they always fuck us with fixtures around the big CL games and Intl Breaks!
Other leagues try to help their CL teams, as it elevates their League and improves the country’s coefficient for an extra position. Not the PL!! Rich getting richer is not right…unless it’s the “right” clubs!
Sick of it all, tbh! Just glad I get to watch my beloved team beat most other teams, while playing some of the most beautiful, tactically and technically proficient football ever seen.
Not sure anything in my (sporting) life will ever eclipse Aguerrrrrrrrrrrrrrro and last season’s Treble, so it all feels like the cherry on the icing on the cake at this moment!
It’d be nice to set yet another record by being the first to win 4 in a row, but with the spiteful agenda inside football that is growing regarding City and the 115, it all feels like we are heading for a bloody nose, Pep leaving, and who knows what else?!
Can’t see us skating. Too much money and too many reds at the top of English football to “let City get away with it,” whether we have done anything or not!
I’d love nothing more than to beat every one if the 115 charges, but petty shit like “cooperation” will be hung around our necks and we won’t get away without SOMETHING sticking. Cue the “See, we told ya! Cheats!” from every know nothing, and the “asterisk of history” will be on every other club’s fans lips forever.
It writes itself that we will NEVER be given our due for being a club that revolutionized British football and became the most successful growth club in the world in a generation, while breaking FOOTBALL records right, left and center! No, it’ll be “They cheated!” whether we are found guilty of non-cooperation or the whole enchilada!
And, I don’t care, because I know what I think about the club and that’s all that matters to me!
We're not playing anywhere near our best & you're bang on Stones & KDB are a big miss.Angry as f*ck about that game , Dippers there for the taking , we came out in the 2nd half and sat back and we are doing it a lot of time in matches , first 15 minutes of the 2nd we sat back and let this pile of shite dominate us.
Dippers were f8cking rubbish and we came down to their level . we gave the ball away cheaply gave them too much room in the middle of the park and around our box , we are not the team we were last season , KDB & Stones are massive misses for us.
We have lost at the Goons and dropped points against this garbage today , two game swe won in a canter last season.
Absolutely nothing wrong with the Dias goal either , Akanji didnt touch Allison and VAR did f*ck all about it , the only way the Dippers were going to get a result was if decisions went their way and we were well below our best , and we were.
Maybe, maybe not. It’s all about opinions. But consistently putting round pegs in square holes won’t work against the best teams in my view.I'm not convinced you know what you're talking about with team selection...
We literally did get a second legal goal, how many more goals better than Liverpool do we have to be year after year after year after year?But we had more than enough chances to kill the game & get a 2nd. Wasteful in front of goal. It wasn't our day. It happens.
Dont talk to her like that, twatIt was that vicious the ref didn't stop the game immediately and the City players around the incident weren't concerned and he needed no treatment.Our players don't dive! You obviously missed Foden screaming clutching his face and dropping to the ground like he'd been shot but a suppose in your eyes being caught by a flailing hand is a full on uppercut. As for your superior knowledge remark ,I don't look at things through biased blue glasses which you clearly do.
Gvardiol for Alvarez might have been a decent bet to shore up our defence/midfield pushing Akanji a bit higher up
The problem is the majority of their fans are absolutely cunts.No doubt some fans can be horrible twats but that doesn't mean the majority are. Reports are he wasn't giving it out he just cheered.
Beating someone up just because they were happy their team scored is pretty small time. No problem with him being asked to leave but assaulting him should lead to bans.
