Match Thread | Manchester City vs. West Ham (20/12/25)

2-0 is a dangerous lead for us.

We mustn't let Tierney have an excuse to get Wham back into this.

Don’t hold back mate…

He’s having a terrible match which is to say he’s having a normal match.

Special mention for an outstanding contribution in that first half from Tierney - I thought refereeing couldn't get any more obviously bent and/or incompetent, but he's just proved me wrong. What a ****!

Is it bias, betting markets, tying to get west ham back in the game, or just being a ****?

Lethargic performance but the crowd are somehow worse, hopefully everyone can wake up 2nd half.

Good to be 2 up though.

I said it mate, play with a lot more tempo this game would've been done and dusted. We're at walking pace today

Absolutely fucking insane refereeing. O'Reilly hauled to the ground - the world's most obvious yellow card. Let's play go on and then blows for half-time when we're attacking! Just actually fuck off with your sympathy vote, Tierney.

We're good at the niggly fouls to break up play but refs know it and carry it too far sometimes, so we don't get the same leeway that the opposition might. Tierney's one of those, can't tell which fouls deserve a yellow and which don't. Never rated him.

How come the ref doesn’t see what thousands of fans do see, I don’t get it
If you rule out corruption all that’s left is incompetence but that’s letting them of too easily, he’s looking straight at these incidents just 5-10 yards away.

 

[I'm With Stupid]

Reijnders brilliant.
Good performance - Cherki can unlock ANY door.

Yep, a lot of people saying Reijnders or Cherki when the answer might be Reijnders and Cherki.

 

[Blue Mist]

Help.
I'm at the match si can some one tell.me why there was a long delay before Bowen was booked.
Var ? It was our foul and yet they got it and a huge delay why ?

 

[TinFoilHat]

Yay...

Dipper Warnock got his dipper specs on USA.

 

[dublin-blue]

Cherki has statue potential. He is so good in the tight spaces. He seems to love life here and may it continue.

Tierney being a ****.

Even us watching at home couldn't work out WTF that was about.

 

[stan bowles]

Decent enough half considering they've got 11 behind the ball and Tierney has reffed the game so poorly. Moments of magic going forward and looking secure at the back. Hopefully more good stuff to come with Cherki and Foden creating.

Play at 100mph every weeks and it works well for 90% of the season until you run out of energy then you're fucked. Ask Arsenal.

Haaland and Cherki: the beast and the genius.

Seriously, it's astonishing we signed Cherki for 35m without competition from the big Spanish clubs. Attacking wise, he looks better than any player starting on the right side for Real or in the No 10 position...

Haha!!!. Attacking wise he looks better than anyone else in the entire world!!.

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

So far so good.

These eel munching load of Pat Butchers are fuckin shite.

 

[Blue-Ghana]

Cherki has linked up well with Rjeinders and Nunes . Nunes has wasted 2-3 good opportunities.

Maybe that's the instructions, go easy, get the 3 points, get ready for next Saturday without any injuries

 

[EdersonsSmiley]

He got an assist but Foden isn't half the player on the left as he is on the right. Barely involved in the game so far which is a real shame.

Cheer up ffs.
