not funny

Probably not but it was a throw away post, just like 99.9% of the other posts on here

 

[yeah whatever !!]

not funny

And here's me thinking that City humour is what makes us city fans what we are.

Did Kyle turn his ankle?

Some poor bloke broke his ankle and his foot went sideways just before halftime, tripped awkwardly on it trying to negotiate an obstructed aisle between blocks 10 & 11.

I’m no doctor but rushing him back from a really bad hamstring injury to play against dross like Burnley was fucking moronic.

It’s not often our medical team shit the bed but I could see this coming from the first whistle.

So you’re not a Doctor but you call the decision to play him moronic (easy with hindsight)
This decision will have been taken by the club/player/manager with the best medics and equipment (scans etc) available to them
The same medical team that kept the vast majority of the squad fit and available all last season
I would call it terrible bad luck

If that is us under-cooked, behind everyone else in preparation, missing key players and still with the opportunity to add quality to the squad, we could be in for a special season. Red shirted tossers everywhere should be shivering in fear.

They are. Check out the bitter, jealous comments on social media... to sum it up, the number 115 is being mentioned a lot

Alright Dr Cougat sit down.

They shouldn’t worry, we won’t won that many league titles in a row.

 

[manimanc]

Not one mention of the charges last night.

Hopefully we've had a word with people.

Yawn,typical sarcastic response when you don’t agree with someone else
Didn’t say I was a Doctor did I ?
However,I dislike someone calling our medical team morons when it’s unjustified

90/100 mins non stop passing on the pitch and a similar period singing a vast medley of songs old and new helped numb the realisation that a pocket of 50+ blokes in Burnley are the love children of Fester and Nigel Farage.

Hearing our signature, off key 'Aaawwwooo'ing warmed my heart last night. Really feels like 'our song' and something a bit different.

God i missed city.
Imperious performance.
I love a 3 of rodri bernardo kovacic.
Phils time to explode.
KDB needs an extended break.
Haaland is unreal.

Rodri, Bernardo and Kovacic at one point were in a small triangle. No-one could get the ball off them. Toying with the opposition.

 

[s1ty m]

I thought the 5 minutes prior to the second goal was absurdly good from City.

 

[burnley blue mcfc]

Hahaha. Having never had a hospitality ticket before, I didn't know what to expect.

To be fair it was a really down to earth experience. Starter and a carvery pre match with beers etc. Beers ordered and ready on table at half time and post match beers with cheese and biscuits on table after the final whistle.

Food was nice but I wouldn't give up a few pre match pints in a proper pub and a chip barm for the walk to the ground for it.

But the view from the seat was fantastic. God knows how much that'd cost at City but fair play to those that have that at the Etihad, it must be amazing to watch our team at that proximity week in, week out.

I was in the same hospitality mate it was decent to be honest :), was sat directly behind vinny’s dugout and had perfect view of both him & pep going at it! beers & food were also very good all in all a top night :)

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Wreckless and out of control. That he didn’t break Walker’s leg is down to good fortune.

And at 3-0 down with minutes of injury time left, completely unnnecesary.

Kompany was saying the booing at the taking of the Knee was much less than usual! Jesus if that was much less I wouldn’t have like to hear it at its worst.

I think there were a few blues dotted about. I definitely recognised an older bloke who was in a white polo shirt as an away game regular.

The shenanigans in the dugout was brilliant to see close up.

Is that how many Prem goals they think we'll score this season ?

 

[Protein Junkie]

Very happy this morning.
3-0 away and the meat shield off the mark.
Concerned about KDB but I keep thinking “succession planning”
Love this club.

 

[WNRH]

Football is number for supporters who attend games.
"Fans" who watch on TV and especially neutral fans don't count

Of course they count. I’ve seen Lee Bradbury and Erling Haaland wear the number 9 shirt for City. I know which one I prefer and the league needs neutrals for that to happen.

 

[Corky]

Quite some money being offered outside the away end for tickets. I bet a few were tempted.

 

[Kippax Street 1880]

Really liked how we seamlessly adapted our shape after Kevin went off. It wasn't working at the start but the switch to 3atb with Phil and Julian narrow behind Haaland and Rico and Kyle providing the width gave us back control and Burnley had no answer.

Ake, Phil, Erling all had great games.
