Does he want a five minute, ten minute or an hour's argument?

Very funny !

because we won 1-0 everyone is ok with that display. That performance explains why the likes of Nottingham forest escaped with a point.

It should have been 4-0. However at this stage of the season top teams have to grind out results against teams fighting for their lives. It will be even worse this year with 9 teams battling against relegation.
I would suggest 3 pts however we play is what’s required. Might be good for you to accept it and brace yourself for some difficult games.

Zaha, ****.

How is this a non-story? If he were a City player he'd a have seen red the minute it happened and somehow the PL isn't even looking into this?

Legitimate added time

It’s legitimate to keeping adding time until Arsenal score?

To be honest, I’ve been quite clear that over a season squad strength is vital to cover for injuries, lack of form etc. By any measure, City’s squad is not only the best in the league but you have both the experience and the pedigree but it doesn’t mean we’re not good enough though we do lack your clear advantages.

You are neglecting your clear advantage of not being in the champions league.

As you are neglecting your clear advantage of not being in the Europa League and Thursday night football

5 points clear
Fully fit squad
Games running out
First title for 20 years if you win 10 games
Just won a London Derby 3-0

On a City forum when you should be celebrating with your own.

Truly bizarre behaviour.

Don’t blame him for wanting him to leave been the bast left footed centre back for the last few years now. Everyone knows he wanted to leave when we came out of covid with him having a kid and wanting to be closer to home. Hope he doesn’t leave city with a stain glossed over his great city career.

Why did City get changed in the groundsman yard ?

Walker and Paddy V were having a measure off in the changing room ;-)

Forest try not to lose against all the top teams, just they don't usually have much luck.

I don't think you'll find their 6-0 defeat at the Etihad was a particularly successful attempt to avoid defeat. As for their home record, they've played 14 games at home and won 5, drawn 6 and lost only three; the three they have lost were early in the season and they have not lost since 16 September. Since then they have beaten Liverpool and drawn with Chelsea, and, of course drawn with us. Their home form isn't bad at all and doesn't conform to your template of a club that doesn't have much luck trying not to lose against the top teams. Or maybe you choose to define a top team only as one that wins at Forest? I have to agree with the poster who says you are very hard to please. I would suggest that you stop seeing PL football as a mechanistic exercise where the "top teams" always win and start seeing it as a competition in which teams play each other at a particular place at a particular time and where the team that gets it right on the day wins. Form and circumstances change and so the same teams don't win every match! Perhaps a word with some Leicester fans? Or Manchester United fans ...!!
