It’s the TikTok/Twatter world we live in, everyone is getting thicker.

Yep, people who on a good night would have an audience of 1 down the pub now have an audience of 000’s.

The BBC website guy excelled himself before the game in the latest round of.. How the fuck can I possibly shoehorn a United reference in to this, competition.

“Kaden Braithwaite makes his City debut. He was born in March 2008. That was two months before Manchester United won the Champions League for the third time. “

Exceptional work.

City - Click
United - Click
Champions League - Click

The aggregation sites got what they were looking for and the poor buggers who use them got clickbaited again!

Imagine if we'd ever "played" like that!
Im sure they'd have been queuing up to call it a masterclass and praise it. Arteta and Arsenal should be condemned for that non performance - not lauded.View attachment 132831

Same narrative as the April game. Remind me how the season ended?

They seem to have forgotten that a) it's September not may, and b) arsenal are 4th behind villa.

Jason Blurt on sky suggesting that Artetas comments about city's ‘dark arts’ are related to the 115.

Masterclass? We scored two goals against them, when they had 11 men and then 10 men.
Correct me if I'm wrong but for our first goal their defence was wide open.
A masterclass would have been not conceding a goal in the 2nd half with 10 men.
We should be applauded for scoring against a team that had 10 players camped on their own area for 50mins.

Simon Stone really is a thick 2hat

   Sometimes it is difficult to follow Pep Guardiola's press conferences.
   His answers can be long and detailed, and often go off at tangents, almost as if he is thinking of something else before he has finished with dealing with the matter in hand.
   You can have to read through his words, or listen to them, again to see what he actually means or to check in case you have missed something.
   It was a bit like that on Tuesday night.
   We already knew Rodri was going to be out for quite a while. It is clear he is an influential figure in Manchester City's side.
   The really important bit now is what will Guardiola do about it.
   He began his answer by talking about opponents not rolling out the red carpet and wearing their best dresses, he finished it by saying he could not play the way Mikel Arteta did at Etihad Stadium on Sunday.
   But in the middle was the key point.
   "Rodri not [being] here [is] a problem," he said. "But complain?
   "This is the challenge.
   "It is a problem. A big one. But a pity? Absolutely not.
   "We go to Newcastle, try to win and do what we have done for many years. It is as simple as that."

Perhaps Stone and his colleagues should practice what they preach.

So they should ask him. Cleared up.

Rich Robbie Savage accusing Erling of being full of himself is ironic.
