Look on the bright side , if Julian comes through the next two games outside John Stones hamstring issue we have a good squad to go into the busy schedule to claw back the 5 point lead Arsenal have.

Whooaaa......£100m+ football player there.

Ive seen nothing from him yet to buy the hype

What a disastrous day, my country Portugal lost then England. Do you think the city lads from both teams will come in the same plane?

If Kyle Walker is organising the "entertainment" I'm sure they will ;-)

Negativity arse. I just want to beat the Dippers in the Carabao Cup. Fuck international

City.

Country wise I was born in Scotland, so I'm happy tonight. However, if given the choice of City winning or Scotland winning, it's City ever single time with no pause for doubt.

Born in Scotland but support City. Okay.

Lloris made ridiculous saves
We created loads
We lost
So be it

Literally not one save that he shouldnt have easily made

 

[meeesh]

City.

Country wise I was born in Scotland, so I'm happy tonight. However, if given the choice of City winning or Scotland winning, it's City ever single time with no pause for doubt.

I’ll sleep tonight,couldn’t care less myself,I won’t have an hangover like I would if City had lost

But I’ll finish by saying this I’m also happy I was born here,and knowing that from an international side of things that no surrounding countries to where I live will ever be as good as the team from the place I was born

Just hope Jimmy Crankie Sturgeon gets her way one day

Saka and Rashford getting racially abused on their socials. Blows my mind since I thought Saka was your best player

 

[cheekybids]

Bizarre, you are referring to a market place when talking about football.

Apologies for my ignorance.

I know England aren't everyones cup of tea on here but they've always been big for me.

It's really shit seeing the two teams you want to win more than anyone else consistently get ridiculous decisions against them in the big games.

You can't argue with Kane missing that penalty but the biased toward France from that referee tonight was bordering on the ridiculous.

In general I hate how much respect we continue to show the "top teams" when we're currently every bit as good as them.

Southgate has done a tremendous job in pulling the fans, media and most importantly the players together but I think it's time for a change.

At this level against good teams, we lack a bit of **** in us.

It’s hard to explain, but all these successful international teams seem to have that in them. I don’t even mean as people, just as football players. You just see guys like Griezmann, they have that look in their eye where they don’t seem to have any fear of the occasion. You don’t see that in England players. Whatever it is, I think you need that to get over the line in games like tonight.

Thought the same before a ball was kicked tbh. Gutted to find I was right.

But btw I feel no malice against Kane who is a decent and honest pro. No-one scores 100% of their penalties and it's not down to him why we lost. I thought the refereeing was shocking as well, which hardly helped.
