Like moths to a flame, the dipper hordes arrive en masse to the BBC HYS to throw the bingo card at us.
Funny thing is the subject matter is Nunez.
They are obsessed and envious in equal measure. It really hurts like fuck for them.
Good job they don’t care about us !!!!
I’d put the fecking lot of them on a sunshine bus but they would wreck it.

Bingo card?
Is that another name for the Klopp card??

I always try and find some positive in any bad situation...the bad situation being that we are starting to have this habit of finishing 2nd to you lot.
The positive being that City are a truly great team and so to get so close and to (in my view and taking the sort of spin that the Echo usually puts on things) push City to being even better...has to have some positives to it.
Yes it is galling to lose by a point again, but then, really is there any shame in coming 2nd to this City side by a point twice?
Just try harder!
I'm not sure that Haaland is a game changer, in the sense that you are already at the peak, but that he will make it evemn harder to keep up with you. I see Nunez as an attempt to try and keep up...the old line of going backwards if you dont strengthen. Whereas, with Mane going and possibly Salah, they have to do something.
Certainly going to be interesting, especially when you lob in a mid season WC.

Peps mentality is summed up perfectly in this Master Shifu quote.

Haaland will be a game changer. I am not sure how many city games you watch. We create 15+ attempts on goal each game. Over the season we had far too many games especially towards the end were we desperately needed a goal scorer. The league should have been won earlier. Missed chances against Real is another example. Also the two games against Liverpool we should have won.

Pep has the team collectively playing some unbelievable football but and it’s a big but…in the big games we have lacked a killer. Other fans and pundits only see the goals scored and think he won’t add much but they don’t see how many game we have laboured to get a result relying on midfielders who are not typical goal scorers.

Haaland will also see our defence go back to giving up less chances. We will be able to sit back in games that he has put us ahead instead of constantly chasing and playing high risk football resulting in 1 on 1 counter acttacks.

Erling will enable us to win games more comfortably. He should give us the edge in big games at decisive moments. Especially matches in the champions league where and it’s only my opinion the collective approach is not enough. We have missed that individual world class goal scorer.

All hypothetical, we need to wait and see how he settles in. No point downplaying his arrival. The rest of the league is fucked.

We had an individual world class goal scorer on the bench in the CL final but Pep didn't play him from the start and only gave him 13 minutes to win the game for us.
Big mistake which he hopefully won't repeat.

Sergio , in my opinion the greatest player in the history of our club.

I watched the 2018/19 season review on Sky. The Kompany goal does run the Sergio moment close for emotion. You can add Gundo’s goals against Villa to the list.

Anyway, it just struck me how much the club has won and the character on show is phenomenal. Pep and the players are so resilient to the onslaught from a genuinely fierce opponent in Liverpool.

Bit off topic but I firmly believe as the years go on the Pep era will be looked back on with a huge sigh followed by I can’t believe the players & the boss collectively continued to reach new untold heights. Coming up against a formidable foe and still keeping our noses in-front.

The rebirth of a great footballing institution.

Now Haaland is onboard and the story will continue…

Nothing could come anywhere near the emotion of Aguero. It was as close to Nirvana as is humanly possible. In fact, it was beyond celestial. Beyond emotion.
It. Was. Fucking. Magic.

Sadly he was nowhere near his best that season.
 
Both sides have made great signings here with city obviously getting the better player at this point.

The bottom line though is that both sides are gonna get between 90-100 points no matter who they buy. It’s the law of diminishing returns. It is going to be close again. Don’t kid yourselves otherwise.

He’s certainly in the top 3 behind Colin Bell on my list ..
 
See the dippers are signing a kid from Aberdeen, Calvin Ramsey. He's got that snidey Andy Robertson look about him so should fit in well and apparently he can shove upto 14 stone over the hoardings at his tender age

Injured a lot. Again, so I don’t think at any point during that season he was ever fully fit. Look at his goals in that last game. Was like a charity game for him. I wouldn’t have started him in that final, especially when the false 9 walked us to the final. Shame pep made several bigger errors than that on the night.

“Bad situation”. You won two trophies! Great run in the champions league, finished above most teams in the premier league..
Every other team in the country apart from the has beens from just outside of Manchester would not think this a “bad situation” at all!
Just most of you lot. You really a are self pitying whining self absorbed bunch eh. :)

Mane's on 200K and Salah's on 225K, they're paying their new wonderboy roughly the same as they pay Matip/Milner/Kieta; which is low considering he's the bestest in the world ever,

Karius still picking up a salary then. They conveniently forgot about him didn’t they
