Anyone know what's up with Donnarumma?

Rested for the World Cu.... ah wait

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

My hat is off, as it's too warm to wear.

:)

I want this over so we can cheer them all off at the end, and I'll try not to cry with it.

It is pretty repetitive though. I know it’s just words on the internet, but unless it’s all 200% pro city you’re all over it. The slightest thing. It becomes a parody.

West Ham are winning.
Come on Everton!

 

[glyntowen]

wasn't expecting much when I saw the team but we were good first half but the play in the second has been even worse than I could have imagined

think some of our players have been caught up in the occasion as well as some of them not playing for ages and also being soft and shite

Anyone know what's up with Donnarumma?

Discovered Candy Crush last night and sprained both thumbs after a 6 hour session.

No, I have no idea. No real reason to play him today I guess.

 

[jimharri]

I really hope that the way this game is turning out doesn't men the early levers will piss off as usual, leaving a stadium, at best, 75% full for the goodbyes at the end.

 

[brummie blue]

Let's not pretend Villa were anywhere near full strength either.

probably all a bit pissed

 

[TinFoilHat]

No need to bring on the big dogs, the season is done. Give them the rest before they fly to Trumpistan for the WC.

 

[eyalluvitt]

Commentators saying defeat today will stain Peps legacy

 

[UnderControl]

Ake is my new favourite City player

 

[hertsblue]

Just rested no?

No idea why bring rested, has the entire summer off hasn't he

 

[wolviedinho]

The current level we operate is a reason pep is leaving. We been sleeping walking now for 2 seasons.

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

albeit a sad one

You off your fucking rocker?

 

[Callmev]

According to The Athletic, the guard of honour was organised by Aston Villa's Ollie Watkins.

Absolute legend.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Will this be last games for Ake and Kovacic as well?

 

[jaiguruKun]

It seems a shame to sign off the Pep era like this.

 

[rodrizontal]

Who gives a fuck, it’s all just a party

Yes, but does not mean we should be losing at home against hungover Villa players. Multiple things can be correct at the same time.

 

[Blu1]

This is so poor all villa players are pissed & look more energetic & organised than us. Half this team are never going to be good enough for city. We need a big clear out this summer

 

[citymad]

This game has proven Gonzales is no where good enough at this level.

 

[Burtonblue]

we need Anderson
Shows how much we will miss Bernie
