I've explained my history on here before (boring) - City were the first time I ever watched on MOTD (aged 7/8 in the 1960s) my first kit was City (number 8, of course). I only thought about City until I was informed that Southampton had its own team and I really should support them! It was gradually hammered into me at school, and I went along with it, but first loves are here to stay and City is always the first result I look for.You a Southampton fan?
They brought players in for the next 5 years, not the next 5 games. Jeez. CluelessWe spent a fortune buying 3 x central defenders in January.
One is playing in France, one was not put in the Champions League squad, and one was stuck at right back and looks uncomfortable every minute he plays.
We can’t moan about defensive injuries.
We needed to buy an elite central defender and an elite right back in Jan yet fucked it up with shit recruitment yet again !
He isn’t wrong tbhThey brought players in for the next 5 years, not the next 5 games. Jeez. Clueless
Twat wants dropping.The only mercy is now that now we are out we won’t have to listen to that **** McMannaman commentating on our matches again this season . To hear that fucking hypocrite banging on about one of our forward players should be dropping back to help Khusanov boiled my piss. Did anybody ever see that **** drop back and help his defence - like fuck . ****
Sorry we need a new manager it hurts but we do

The teams are so far apart that there's never been any conflict. Saints were safe, and I leapt out of my seat when Sterling's last-gasp goal against them made 'us' centurions!
Next year will be more relaxing again, thanks to Russell Martin - the man from whom Pep said he could learn a lot :-l
A well run club wouldnt have allowed this season
never seen you before................all I seen is you acting like your a loyal match attending blue having a go at match attending blues on a day we got fucked off out of the Champions League by one of the best clubs in the world at a time when we are in transition and struggling.I've explained my history on here before (boring) - City were the first time I ever watched on MOTD (aged 7/8 in the 1960s) my first kit was City (number 8, of course).

No - just the hypocritical nature of that type of post devalues anything else the poster has to say, really
yeah all the **** did was point everywhere on the pitch............did fuck all
Interesting, but this can't have only happened in the past year or two, so how have we won so much?There is so much data available now that, if, you have money to spend you have little excuse to make inappropriate signings or team selection/tactics. For instance, and these are from multiple sites so may not be totally accurate.
Vinicius Junior top speed is 36.5 km/h
Rodrygo 33.1
Mbappe 38.00 km/h !!!
Khusanovs top speed is 37.00 km/h !!!
Gvardiol 34.78
Reuben Dias 31.5 km/h
John Stones 32.3
Nathan Ake 31.7
Nico 31.5
Gundo 31.35
Rudiger is recorded at 36.7.
Bellingham 33.7
Real Madrid are faster than us all over the pitch both visually and factually.
If no elite players were available in January then wtf were we doing spending £200m !1) What elite player is going to move in January? Please list them.
2) Khusanov doesn't look uncomfortable at all and kept Vinicius as quiet as he could.
'half-hearted' hits the nail right on the head - either press, or don't. Lately it smacks of half the team going through the motions of 'sort-of' pressing.I don't get why we keep doing that half hearted press, where Gundogan and Bernardo are up on their 18 yard line chasing shadows. All that does is make them knackered and leave big holes in the centre of the pitch for the opposition to pass quickly through....it drives me mad!.... surely it would make sense given their age to drop off to the half way line, get in a good shape, get compact, squeeze the space, it doesn't have to be a total low block, just more pragmatic and this way you get to conserve energy and take a breath whilst the opposition bring the ball up the field
We beat Newcastle Utd last Saturday. 4 - 0'half-hearted' hits the nail right on the head - either press, or don't. Lately it smacks of half the team going through the motions of 'sort-of' pressing.
It made sense when we'd routinely win the ball back within 5 seconds, still only 30 yards from their goal, but when's the last time that that happened on a consistent basis?
Takes a lot of fitness, which we collectively don't have at the moment. Shame we haven't adapted
I'm glad it's 7 games less now. Will probably get us over the line to 5th or above. Start getting players back to full fitness instead of them having to play 3 games in 8 days (Stones). CL qualification and a deep run into the FA Cup would be a great end to the season. Then we go again next year.
