100I wonder if we'd be seeing some of the shite we're seeing in the media today if we'd beaten a heavily depleted and knackered Liverpool with our fully rested strongest eleven by just one goal. Or would the headlines all be about how a plucky understrength Liverpool narrowly and heroically failed to beat the evil billionaires with their obvious and unfair advantage.

I went to the game and yes there are “bigger fish to fry”.For once in a long time I couldn’t bring myself to clap the lads off the pitch today.
Of course I cheered them on during the game but that was a shitshow of a performance & ultimately felt sorry for the lads & lasses who made the difficult journey down south to see this.
The writing on the wall when the team lineup was announced compounded by a lacklustre 1st half where it seemed only Foden seemed to care about the game. Mistakes galore & I spent the majority of the second half at the bar topping up the Wembley coffers.
Had a few mates with me who were amazed with my prediction that regardless of the scoreline Pep will not make a sub until the 80th minute.
He needs to get over this stubborn Bielsa trait & perhaps give the kids a try when all is lost in certain games otherwise why bring them along if he had not intention of playing any of them.
Disappointed to say the least & for all of you who state there are bigger fish to fry try telling that to the fine supporters who made in down here at expense & amidst transport difficulties- a bloody pistake.

Some City fans signing from the concourse could be heard who wouldn’t have known there was a minute’s silence.The pub i was in didn't have the sound on until the whistle was blown for the start of the game so missed the minute silence.
Getting shit off a Liverpool fan for City fans ruining it. Is this correct?
I started giving polite applause (like another Blue said) and then I observed the rest of the minute’s silence. There was a bit of confusion.
Not really although the media will run with this, most city fans didnt even know there was a minutes silence so therefour it didnt work,The pub i was in didn't have the sound on until the whistle was blown for the start of the game so missed the minute silence.

City fans are some of the best at respecting these things & should not be getting any criticism but sadly they will.
No big club wants him.Time Mr Sterling went somewhere else, £80,000,000 seems a good price to put towards Haaaaaarlands price.
So you know our fans weren't disgusting at all. The singing came from a section of fans who had no clue there was a period of respect going on whilst coming off the concourse.
The first I knew about a minute's silence being planned was when the BBC match commentator Wilson? started reeling off a speech about the 97 dead and their families being denied justice and being subjected to years of cover-ups, it sounded more like a rant and then when I looked at the TV the players were lining up for a tribute, I heard a cheer/fan noise and then loud booing but I was watching on my phone in a layby on a break from work.So you know our fans weren't disgusting at all.

What an absolutely shit day that was!
Liverpool took it more seriously than we did. We treated it like a friendly and got what we deserved.
The fans… We didn’t bother selling out, even in the blocks that were available to us, there were empties everywhere. Before everyone comes up with their excuses, I know loads of people who just couldn’t be arsed so the excuses won’t wash with me! People within my group couldn’t fill a minibus (when we’re normally turning people away), a local pub that usually runs a coach couldn’t fill a coach, people who sit around me in the ground who pulled their faces about going when I asked them last Sunday, spoke to others in the free coach on the way down yesterday who said the coach they normally go on wasn’t run because there was no interest.
Liverpool fans filled their end and some in our end.
And why the fuck are our fans so averse to getting to our seats early? Fans still filtering in in their hundreds minutes after kick off, while their end was full minutes before.
Not one ounce of atmosphere came from us. Oh apart from the shameful cunts who booed and shouted comments during the Hillsborough moment of silence. Never felt more embarrassed to be a Blue at that moment. Anyone who has a problem with Liverpool and Heysel, bring that up with LFC and the governing bodies and the media in an email or something, don’t go and fucking boo during a moment of respect for people who died you fucking disrespectful thick cunts! We deserve every bit of criticism coming our way for that.
We weren’t arsed in the stands during the game at all. Liverpool fans were well up for it. That was the best atmosphere from them that I’ve heard from any game we’ve been to Wembley (including any of ours). Their whole end stood up, even in the top tier, they were starting songs off in all areas, we just had a load of people who looked like they didn’t want to be there all sat down contributing fuck all. Fucking embarrassing from our fans! We acted like we had absolutely no ounce of belief that a treble was on the cards for us whatsoever.
The amount of our fans who left early was shit n’all. What’s the point in going all that way if you’re not going to stay to the end? As bad as we were, we very nearly took it to extra time… have some fans never learnt anything from being a City fan and the amount of come backs and late goals we’ve scored?
The team… We started like we couldn’t be arsed. Slow ponderous boring as fuck football by a team who - seemingly just like the fanbase - had absolutely no ounce of belief that a treble was on the cards for us whatsoever. Against a team who were well up for it, who responded to their fans, who looked like they believed that an historic quadruple is on the cards for them.
Okay we grew into the game a bit but let’s be honest they took their foot off the gas at 0-3 and had the rest of their season in mind, and they still looked as likely to make it 1-4 or 2-4 at any point we could have made it 2-3 or 3-3.
Why is it, that players who look good when others are around them, shrink like dying flowers anytime de Bruyne Gundogan Dias etc. aren’t on the pitch? I have never seen Sterling step up in the usual leaders’ absence and drive this team on to anything, it’s about time Foden started doing it as he’s experienced enough now, what a game for Grealish to show us that he’s worth picking for the run-in… they, along with others, were all fucking shit!
Is Pep allergic to making subs? Mahrez was his master stroke was it? He’s been stinking the place out over the last few weeks with meek as fuck performances. Get fucking Delap on, try it, it might have worked.
That was one of my least favourite days ever being a blue! Our fans were shit and some were a disgrace to the club. Our players were woeful for the most part. Manager had a poor day. Fucking wank day out, now I’ve fucked off home.
