Let's try to put aside club rivalry and give credit where it's due. Today United almost scored *Goal of the Season* so let's acknowledge that.

The brainwashed scum fans lap all this shit up, it's scripted and rehearse and they know the audience you are preaching to. Live football on TV should be neutral and fair, but in the 40-odd years of the Premier League FA Cup League cup Champions League Community Shield broadcasting on ITV BBC Skysports TNT Manchester City have never been given a voice,

Ok the early days and before the takeover we were a laughing stock and easy pickings and we had nothing to back it up or shout about, BUT since 2009 we have become the most invisible club in the world, It is always one-sided or targeting and damaging the name of Manchester City in some way, Oil money, FFP Cheating, 115, Racist, Bad for Football, Dare any of the pundits stand up for Manchester City and say hold on a minute.

You would think one of the British broadcasters would chance their arm and wear Manchester City blue-tinted glasses. But again it would be so easy to cut them from any broadcasting rights, But I don't understand how much longer can they keep spouting shit about United, Does winning the odd cup help when City are winning multiple trophies each season
 
Best part of pens was Nunes taking his then walking off and Pep's reaction. Apparently Dalot and Bruno were telling Onana he goes that way and then he just calmly roofed it.

One thing that was missed was Savinho's impact on the Bernardo goal. His movement and then dropping in to Bobb for the pre-assist. Kid looked very live and a player not overawed by moment.
 
After the match Pep made a few comments about the flight of the ball. I don't know if it was his way of having a go at some of the players for miss-passing it fairly often, and ballooning it occasionally, or if there was something about the way it flew about. It did remind me of some games as a kid many years ago.

Don't know if this classic from Mitre will be used for any other games this season.

I thought Savinho was excellent when he came on especially for the goal, He found a lovely pocket of space to feed it to Bobb, Excellent awareness and pass from Savinho he's going to do well here.
 
We dominated - superb for the first 35 mins, most shots, most possession, most pens. Our largely very young side dominated a largely very experienced United side. Deserved winners. Special mention for Eddie - monumental shoot out save and the pen he scored.

ITV - what a joke. Matterface getting on McCoist's nerves with his pointless stats - he had clearly had enough. They stupidly wrote us off in the dying minutes of the 90 then wrote us off again during the pens. Then after the match, Pougatch and his two sidekicks are reading out their researcher's bullet-points from the post-match script marked 'United win'. On and on they whined post-match - very little mention of us.

We sickened ITV as much as we sickened United.
 
I didn't see the game but the stat of one shot on target in 90 minutes is a bit worrying even with a depleted team. The three blocked shots might put a different spin on it.
The highlights I've seen suggested we had the better of the first half hour but it was downhill after that.
The good news is that we won a shoot-out against a team that has won plenty of shoot-outs and also gets lots of penalties to practise.
From what I've seen in pre-season I'd start Bobb ahead of Grealish but I'm also expecting more from Doku in his second season.

Don’t disagree pal.
For me, it’s just (yet another) reminder for the season ahead to turn on only at kick off time, and switch off at the final whistle.

For televised games I’ll either do something else pre/post match, or put our own City tv/YouTube coverage on.
 
I’ve been out on the piss all day today with a bunch of lads who I’ve known all my life. One just lost his partner age 48! Didn’t watch it. Just listening to the Jam on the jukebox, playing killer on the pool table.

However…….made up we won and that little rat Garnacho is crying into his pillow instead of wanking himself senseless.

Well done to all the fans who went! Quality: up the blues!

I remember those cheap balls you could buy when I was a kid ( Not that we could often afford even one of those most of the time) They were so light a gust of wind blew them about and they were impossible to control properly. It's a long time ago now but I think the cheap ones were about 7/6d and the better ones 10 shilling.

They used to sting a bit if you had a thigh slapper too!

"maximum power when you strike"?

Seriously, given what happened when Dias headed a shot away, is that going against safety and the risk to players from dementia?

Lol.

To be fair, McCoist is usually very complimentary of us. He's always gushing over Foden.

Spot on - McCoist is usually one of the few to compliment us. Today, he got drawn into the anti-City narrative. but he clearly had had enough of Matterface's pointless stats. Pougatch and his two sidekicks were clearly following an outline script relating to United winning. No-one handed them the script marked 'City win'. Pougatch sounded genuinely gutted we'd won. Thankfully, ITV won't be covering our games for quite a while.

Sorry to hear about your mate's loss.

Was that serious? At the time I just thought he was milking it a bit to get the game stopped whilst they were on the attack, so I’m a tad ashamed to say I didn’t take it seriously.

Was he properly concussed by it?
I haven’t read many of the post match reports etc.
