The body language from some of them yesterday was awful. When we were 1 nil up about 25 mins in and Fernandes fucked up to let the ball out of play for a throw in, he just shrugged and sulked. I know Fernandes is always prone to that but he usually leaves it until 70 mins on or so, not 1 nil down 25 or so into a derby

Think their keeper situation is one to keep an eye on. I was reading red cafe before the derby and most of them think bayindir is a million miles off, and they seem to be right. The other keeper theyve signed is a huge, huge gamble and if it doesnt come off they're not gonna have a keeper who is up to scratch. Onana for his sins and mistakes is capable of playing at this level, bayindir doesnt look like he is, and the other guy who knows but he musnt be head and shoulders above bayindir or he would have started. He's a 23 year old nobody from the Belgian league.

Could be a horror show. A wonderful, wonderful horror show

I still don't understand why they got rid of De Gea AKA the Alpaca?

Wasn't he their player of the season for three years running?

He saved them a shit load of points (if you'll pardon the pun).

Not that I give a flying fuck, mind you.

I'm enjoying the pantomime. Long may it last.

They bought hoijland because he was Scandinavian and sounded like haaland
It seems they bought sesko because he was balkan and sounds like Dzeko
But this guy is pure turd
As wee Davey once said " we aspire to be City"

To be fair. I think they bought Sesko because it rhymes with Tesco....... and every little helps.

Great shot stopper using all his body but was shite with his feet to be replaced by keepers who aren’t shot stoppers or good with their feet either

Think the main reason was his high wage.

The moment I knew we had won the Derby was on the 62nd minute when Amorim takes off Yoro for Maguire. It was obvious then that City were going to race through for a third.

What is it with Amorim and his stupid like for like defensive subs. No one else does this in top flight English football or has ever done it. Unless there is something highly unusual going on, you don't change your centre backs.

I actually said "here comes their striker" when I saw Maguire.

I love taking the piss out of this horrible club but what pisses me right off is the amount of in-depth inquiry every week when they get beat. Villa finished higher last season and having a bad start but nothing is said. The rags will not be relevant for 5 more years at least so we have this shite to put up with till then.

They’ll always be relevant because these cunts keep them that way with these autopsies they do every 5 minutes and the 5000 articles they publish about them per day.

It’s been 12 years since they were half decent yet the media still wank them off all day.

They don't have an edge anymore. That thing that they always had in the past. Robson, Hughes, Cantona, Keane, Rooney, Scholes all of them were dirty fuckers. And even if they lost a game, they booted the opposition about, got yellow and red cards. You were guaranteed to be in a fight.

Apart from their cropped Argentinian midget, they are to a man, a complete push over. They were bullied off the ball yesterday, and didn't put up any fight. 4 games into the season and they've already thrown in the towel.

If they don't bring in some sort of Gattuso clone lunatic, they will be lucky to get top half this season.

I adore taking the piss out of them.

I know what you mean about the post-mortem after every loss. However, it's that level of scrutiny and obsession that's going to keep them in the wilderness.

Unlike, most teams that recieve criticism from the media and the pundits, the rags are incapable of solving their problems.

Their conundrum is too great. They're a bang average team that think they should be in the top four challenging for silverware.

The media and their fans reinforce this ridiculous notion and each year it gets worse.

It's not too dissimilar to why the men's England football team will never win anything, ever again. The pressure on the players and manager to "bring it home" after fifty-eight years is beyond unmanageable.

Me too . The first mega chunk of discussion , after the excessive and inane banter, on BBC Football Daily was exclusively about that lot down the road and their problems. On and on and on . Love it . It was fun to play Trafford Rovers Bingo: " history " , " the weight of the shirt " , " it's mannnssshesteruntd" , " as they enthusiastically offered up the solutions as " we all want them to improve " . The bigger story is the drop off from Villa but , hey , they don't play in red or come from London.
 
Despite what is clear to any genuine football supporter who watches them play, witnessing the blatant limitations of their over-priced and over-hyped players game after game, their long-standing fans and the seemingly endless collections of newly recruited knownowts continue to believe that they are a good and competitive team.

Such sycophantic and deluded thinking actually beggars belief and belies logical thinking and understanding.

Any other club, which had wasted billions of pounds and employed and dismissed so many different managers, in a repetitive and frequent manner over so many years, would have seen their support drop off a cliff.

Apart from abject stupidity, it is a totally bizarre and
illogical phenomenon that only rag fans can understand.

BBC is just a united fanzine. Article today with Rooney discussing whether his or garnachos was the best overhead kick ever.
