Said earlier it would be 1-1 and Guardiola would get it wrong. Got abused by ‘top blues’.

Some things never change

Not me, pal.

I've been campaigning for you to take over from Pep "got it wrong again" Guardiola for years.

We did score the second, but the geniuses at var told us to fuck off.

The ref disallowed it so you know VAR weren't going to overturn it.

There's cannon fodder at the bottom every season. That's why they're at the bottom. Southampton, Leeds, Everton, Leeds, all of them garbage last season. As always with this City team, if we're within 3 to 5 points off the top by the time February/March comes around, we go on and win it. Best to leave these "are we better or worse?" chats until crunchtime. We were fucking bobbins until about January/February last season and we had players like Cancelo being kicked out the club mid-season. Would have been easy to write us off - I did, so did many others. So far this season it looks like we've got a happy, young squad full of potential and with loads of key players to come back from injuries.

You're wasting your time on here talking sense!

Keepers always get those. Once the ref gave it, it was never going to count.

BBC HYS full of vitriol for us . Worse than usual.

A whole three points ! Gundy or ffs and we win today imo, you cant argue we havent upgraded from gundy in particular

Right, but there's a parallel universe where we kept Gundogan and it turned out to be one season too long. Maybe we lose today because Gundogan doesn't have the legs to keep up with Szoboszlai. You never know.

As I said in another post, there's no point having these conversations until it's crunchtime. It would have been easy to write us off last season as late as February but we won the lot. Seasons are long, lots will happen.

And yet at this point last season, when we had both Gundogan and Mahrez, we were behind Arsenal in the league, three points worse off after 13 games, and had just dropped points at home to Everton and lost to Brentford. Considering the level of upheaval the squad has had this summer just gone, considering how many new lads we're having to blood in, and considering KDB, Jack, and Johnny Stones have all been missing/unfit, we're doing very well.

Good post. We've not had a team really set the pace like Arsenal did last season, so we're in a very good place with excellent players still to return. Let's be honest, our midfield has been decimated for much of the season. I think a win against Spurs next week puts us on the same number of points at the 14-game mark of last season (after Brentford at home, ie World Cup). Anyone who has watched City for just a few years knows not to panic. Going on another two-month winning streak probably wins us the league.

I'm very happy with where we are at the moment. Lots of points will be dropped by all teams this season.

Yep year after year of under achievement and shit football, how the bald fraud clown hasn’t been sacked is beyond me, especially when we have you available

Nail hit on the head.
No comebacks from this unless people who reply with but but are thick, fans of other clubs, only supported city since 2014 or just want to argue about nothing.

Thay do though, crowd gets into a frenzy, media start all there ''I think it should be given...word and sentiment trickles through the VAR room at Stockley re public opinion and consensus = they take ages and eventually bow to pressure = GOAL!!!!!...that's how it rolls with other top 6 teams...

So you're saying that the crowd referee games rather than the guy in the middle and you'd prefer that.
You think that 45,000 people shouting or booing have more affect on a referee's mindset and decisions than having Klopp, Carragher, Owen, Collymore, Aldridge, etc, etc, etc whinging on for years on end about how hard done to Liverpool are?
You think in that moment the crowd are able to overcome years and years of media manipulation and fear tactics?
You really think that you booing is more prevalent in a referee's mind than the death threats he'll get after a media witch hunt if he gives a decision against Liverpool?
