I am waiting for someone to post Burnley won 4-1 today can't see us beating them :-)

I posted somewhere that East Lancs FC had today used up all their goals for January 2017!

bluwes, Not saying he will sell, but it's a possibility and you have to be very naive to close your mind to that. City are his marquee club - the others are not on the same planet as City.

right then

I don't think you should get berated or 'banned' for saying what for many of us would be our worst fears. Like Cleavers I think SM's project was not purely waiting for the coming of Pep and will not end when Pep goes. However if I was him I'd be thinking wtf. If so he's learnt what it is to be a City fan wtf wtf wtf.

If he's learnt what it is to be a City fan, he'll have seen the New Year in with a rendition of "We never win at home and we never win away..." rather than Auld Lang Fucking Syne..

He could sell but I think it's far more likely that the Sheikh will invest further to expand the Etihad and expand the CFG.

He's making a profit, increasing the value of his assets and promoting Abu Dhabi. There's not much to worry about there.

Haha! Very true.

Also, I've never heard of anyone getting banned from Bluemoon for whingring. Being too positive carries a greater risk of getting an early bath.

Ps: inwill be drinking near Liverpool St on Friday so might see you there.

Not being funny mate but we shouldn't have gone into this season with Zabba, Clichy and Kolorov as our main fullbacks , we've been waiting for this overhaul for two seasons.

What will happen is we will try to buy in the summer and spend another 200 million on players we hope will make the grade, the likes of Otimendi, Mangala, Stones, Sane have a lot to prove as it is, bringing in another 4-5 new faces will mean another transitional season to look forward too bedding in new players in a new league.

It's poor.

Don't disagree - but we are where we are and we can only now deal with the situation how it is. We have relied on a core group of players for too long and most of them are past their sell by dates. We have wasted millions in the last 3 1/2 to 4 years on players who simply are not up to it. We need to rebuild the core of the side with players who perform at the highest level consistently and have both fight and bottle. At the moment too many of our players hide.

I don't agree, ignoring the conceding of possession, it was way to easy to move the ball from there to Lallana, we could have done better cutting out the cross (Zab), and good header that it was, Kolarov's defending of it was awful, hopelessly the wrong side of the player despite managing to get in front him him at one point (not to mention the question of where both CB's were ?).

In my book it was very poor, nobody should be scoring 10 seconds after we concede the ball on the edge of our opponents box.

Disagree all you like but I didn't say we couldn't have defended better; however it's debatable whether Zab could have done more, you could also question whether Sterling could have helped, but the cross was excellent and Windjam timed his run and executed his header perfectly. Kolarov was in line with the rest of the defence because he got back their quickly; unfortunately, he had to attempt a standing jump against a player who had a run up so he was left at a distinct disadvantage so I am not sure how much to criticise him.

I'd have to rewatch but I think the centre backs may have been guilty of being sucked towards the ball.
