I'm proud of the team and it's coach, they gave everything but just fell short on the night, that's elite level sport. They made mighty Real Madrid play like a plucky underdog which shows how far we've come. I'm gutted for the team but don't actually feel too bad myself, there's a way to lose...

Alternative Smiths lyrics alert, doesn’t quite fit unfortunately

Something like: -------------------Ederson-------------------- Walker-----Stones------Dias--------Ake ---------------------Rodri----------------- -----------KDB---------------Foden------- Bernardo---------Haaland-------Grealish Could work but leaves Rodri a bit isolated on transistion. Maybe...

We’re getting close to the stage where Pep has got a decision to make regarding Foden starting games in the 10 role on a more regular basis. He’s too good in that position to keep playing him out wide to accommodate KDB. This day was always going to arrive. I’m sure KDB could adapt his game to...

I don't think Pep is doing the lad any favours by shoehorning him into the team. If we're being realistic he's not starting ahead of Haaland unless the big man is injured or rested. He's a good player and seems to be a good lad, I get that Pep likes him but this is professional sport and I sense...

His second touch is by a Liverpool player

But how would this protect the cartel clubs from competition? I’m sure people are putting forward ideas in good faith that they think would protect clubs from financial mismanagement and stop them going bankrupt, but this really isn’t the point of FFP. Maybe it started off that way, but somehow...

This is what I was on about when I said the Everton and Forest situations were good news for us. Up until now our claims about the nature and motivations behind FFP were falling on deaf ears. Rival supporters didn't really give a shit about FFP because they presumed it wasn't going to effect...

I guess ten years ago you could have argued that the sponsorship deal was over valued. However, in hindsight it was an absolutely inspired piece of business by Etihad. Just imagine how much our brand recognition has increased since that deal was signed and how beneficial that association has...

Should City fans back an owner who has invested in the club, hired the best executives and team coach in the business, enabled them to turn the club from indebted also rans to serial winners, a commercial giant, with a state of the art training facility, best in class youth section, a bunch of...

It's definitely a head scratcher. If the majority of fans can see it Pep must see it. I get that he likes the lad but he's clearly not up to that role and it's causing knock on problems elsewhere. Is it some sort of ego thing with Pep? Just don't get it.

Pretty much, It's been this way ever since I joined this forum. I guarantee that every group of City fans got back to the pub after the match and were discussing the pros and cons of the performance, who played well, who played badly, team selection, the referee, the pies, etc etc. I can't...

The way I think of FFP is a method for elite clubs to stifle competition, it all falls into place once you understand this.

The Everton and Forest cases have been great for us because they've woken people up to the reality of FFP and the motivations behind it.

It's not so much team selection as whether Haaland and Alvarez in the same team works for us tactically. I say no, Pep says yes. What do I know? Still don't like it though.

Pep needs to lose this infatuation for Alvarez. Sometimes it’s a bit shit to be a manager when you have to break bad news to someone you like, but the kid needs to be on the bench.

If I were the PL I'd want to manage expectations before any news of a loss for them at the independent commission becomes public in order to reduce the size of the meltdown. It's still going to be epic though if this happens. Might even phone Simon Jordan myself.

The legal technicalities being lack of evidence.

It's so funny to read stuff like this from rival fans when we've been banging on about this for years. You voted for this shit and were quite happy with it until it started affecting you. So take your ten point deduction and shut up.

When KDB and Haaland were injured Pep was forced to play Foden more centrally and everyone got to see just how brilliant he is there. This gives Pep a bit of a headache because he clearly rates Alvarez and wants him in the team, so Foden gets shoved out wide. Problem is this puts huge pressure...
