It’s time to banish the miserable gits

[Phil1]

Yes i love pep what city fan wouldnt. But doesnt mean you cant question when he fuks up. And he does fuk up. No front man is going to cost us this season I fear. Scouse twats just brought on another forward and he scores straight away. Not a coincidence its a fact. Cant play false number 9 all season trying to win major trophies. Just wont get away with it and fact pep thinks he can i just pray he is right

Won the league last year with a false 9 and top this year and in later rounds of the major comps with a false 9.
Let’s not just start making shit up.

Well it hasn’t cost us so far because we’re a point in front and they still have to come to our place where they haven’t won in years.

So on all the available evidence so far our false 9 system is working better than their high level kick and rush style

What a load of old shite. You'd have gone home crying every week if you'd had a season ticket in Block H at Maine Road.

Bloody Johnny come lately, happy clapping, Pep Guardiola duvet sleeping sycophants.

I may not agree with everything people around me say at the match, or what they say on here, but I'd never deny them the right to say it.

You pays your money, you makes your choice. If you don't like hearing/reading opposing views, don't go. Simples.

Watching City for over 50 years and season ticket holder at Maine Road, so no JCL. I’ve been to many games when a 1-0 defeat would have been considered a good result!
And I vent my frustration at times - but not for 90 minutes non-stop Christ sakes.

To be fair, it could be argued that we've been lucky that Gundogan and Mahrez stepped up to the mark and had almost freakishly good goalscoring seasons.
Yes, the chances have kept coming thanks to great teamwork, but imagine how many more chances would have been taken by a genuine striker.
If we win the PL this season, it will be Pep's greatest achievement imo. To win it in consecutive seasons without a recognised striker would be incredible.

I don't mind the odd moan but 90 minutes worth of earache every match...? That's why we should be free to move around to get away from idiots.

It'll be better when we're getting smaller crowds and have spare seats to move to.

[Man-chester copperpot]

Not a bad point against Palace my fucking arse.
1 point now - they have Watford at home next game
Count me in the miserable git club!
Absolutely fucking fuming - feel free to ban me and do me a favour!

he would have beaten Monaco Lyon and Chelsea.
all 3 thrown by wrong line ups and terrible tactics .

i get he's a good manager but boy he drops some right clangers, which some on here simply refuse to acknowledge. they sound like dippers .

You're basing all this off a man who lost an FA Cup final to Wigan, couldn't get us past the group stages of the Champions League (groups containing Napoli/Villareal and Sporting/Dortmund) and got us knocked out of the Europa League against Dynamo Kiev and Sporting ffs, with a Premier League winning squad and elite world class players. A little perspective needed. I love Mancini, but this idea that he's a top level all-timer manager capable of winning 3 Champions Leagues in a decade at City is farcical. Nothing about his career suggests it.

In fact, post City his domestic career has been nowt but a failure. Flopped at Galatasaray and Zenit, despite both being easily the biggest clubs in their domestic comps, and meandered to nowt at Inter before being sacked. Probably because he has a penchant for pissing everyone off, like he did at City, making the squad untenable. He even sorta messed up with Italy post the Euros win. They're currently behind Switzerland after winning only 4 out of 8 games, underwhelming immensely.

Once again, I absolutely loved what he did for us and I will forever be grateful, but I can still see his very obvious flaws. The idea that he's near Pep's level, or would be capable of reaching the same, previously unthinkable heights that Pep has achieved here, is based entirely on emotion and nothing logical at all. It's just rose-tinted glasses, which he's earned admittedly, but it isn't rational. There's a reason he's not been managing huge clubs since leaving City!

Oh and finally, Pep just a 'good' manager. Ffs.

Frankly, I think you are talking out of your arse! Lyon we’d have beaten over the normal two legs and Chelsea had beaten us comfortably twice with the team that we all thought would start so he tried to change it. I sometimes wonder whether some people actually forget the circumstances or context of some of our disappointing results under Pep?!

 

[cleavers]

If we got rid of the miserable gits there'd be nobody there, oh.....

If Mancini loses to Macedonia/Turkey/Portugal in the World Cup playoffs, he will get fired and no top club with a vacancy will look at him.

If Pep walked away from City at the end of this season, every single club in the world would be begging for him, and apart from 1 or 2 (Liverpool), they would sack the incumbent to make way.

I mean, the comment about Chelsea is demonstrably false. The fa cup he played Rodri and fern together with Steffen in net and the league game we played 3 centre half's so they hadn't comfortably beat us with our best eleven at all. Pep fucked up in the final, we all know it, just like we all know we'd be worse off without him.

 

[Northerndave]

I think you are entitled to moan but I hate singling out individual players. Back the team and boo at the end if you want.

Bollocks, the living statue that was Wilfried Bony deserved all the crap he got, as did Navas, who took 8,492 attempts before he got a cross in the box, or Raheem who has been shit for 18 months at least and Mahrez before he transformed from a caterpillar to the butterfly we have now.

It's part of football, we have the happy clappers, the fans who watch the games via their phone screens, the singers, the whingers, it's all part of life and I'm glad we all call City a home.

You're right - but I always think Navas got a bum rap.

Talking about this season not last. Not making nowt up. Know the game inside out. Just saying what i see

 

[Northerndave]

You're right - but I always think Navas got a bum rap.

He was just so frustrating, he had the pace and the tactical awareness to be in the right positions, he even ran at defenders and it's great to see that, but the defender would just bide his time and wait for Navas to slam the ball into his legs.

If he had a quality final ball, he could have been one of our best wingers of all time.

If we dont win the season its peps fault? LOL Pep out, he's clearly a failure and all the records, trophies, good times you've had are all not enough, just never enough. I hope you dont get the chance to moan how you were right and the mighty pep doesnt know what he is doing.

He hasn't done too badly since he left us, has he?
