Sorry if I've missed it I haven't scrolled back far enough, but how are so many media 'outlets' celebrating the dippers 2nd title in 5 years? Is it just incompetence, or are they trying to deny that 4 in a row happened, or as the scouse cunts so special we must use Calendar years not seasons when kissing their arse?

Play quicker, you get transitioned quicker more times, and that’s why Inter had so many chances and could of scored more goals.

I fully get why, but slow build up and passing for the sake of it with little purpose won't get the neutrals on the edge of their seat will it. That is why certainly this season we wouldn't excite anybody outside of our club. Treble year we got the balance brilliantly of being patient but attacking with that purpose.

If I was watching a game I'd want to watch one like last night without question. Anybody who would want to watch anything else must be mad.

This season is different due to our injuries. In a transition season, we can still play controlled possession football. When the team is more settled, the new players will understand each other better, and we’ll play quicker, open up teams create more chances against packed defences.

Barca was levels up from our best, there possession based football was quick and with purpose. We do it very well, but probably the last two years especially without that zip to it. That game last night was a classic and it would be wrong to call them headless chickens. From a defensive point of view it was all over but a great spectacle and what a neutral would love to watch.

Best example of it would you rather watch us go up as we did with Keegan or say how Burnley have this year. Both have the same result in promotion but one with a much more exciting style of football (which left us vulnerable at the back) over a more organised approach.

Exactly, I wouldn't want a tactical chess game masterclass instead of it.

Yeah probably, but the fact is for neutrals it still isn't exciting is it which the original point was. Teams set up to nullify our approach and we then have a match of us playing it across our back 4. People level that at the opposition but if they find a way to stop us why wouldn't they. Ultimately fast end to end football is far more exciting than the football we produce. Overall ours is more effective and results in success so as fans we don't care but I fully get why people wouldn't enjoy watching us.

Give me Pep's pure football rather than the dipper, rag, up and under, kick and rush, route one shite. If I want to watch that crap I'll go and watch rugby. Some brain dead English audiences are turning into yanks.

Must reply to this as an ex player of football and rugby. There is an old saying that goes, you play football with your feet and rugby with your brain and it is correct. Until Pep came along, he now has footballers playing with their feet and brains, which is a major reason why his teams are successful. Personally I am fascinated watching City under Pep, the movement of players off the ball is a joy to watch. People say it's not exciting but I get bored by pump it forward quick football as much as I do watching anti football bus parking teams that come to the Etihad.

Just had a survey request from the BBC "Your opinion matters to us", this should be fun...

It appears to be personalised so I can't share it unfortunately.

Our BBC, Our Future - Audiences asked to help shape BBC’s future

From 27 March BBC account holders across the UK will start to receive an online questionnaire to help identify what they want from the BBC now, and what they want from it in the future

I have just replied to the survey & left these comments :-

Anything else that the BBC should offer less of? (optional)Please tell us here if there are other types of programmes and content not mentioned above that you'd like the BBC to do less of. Between 1 and 25 words

Use less licence payers money on Stone's expenses covering Man United & cover all clubs equally online not solely United, its laughable!

Is there anything else important that the BBC could offer or improve in the future? (optiona


Try improving background checks on all staff from admin to actor, the BBC currently represents a dysfunctional organisation with a history of employing/covering up abusers/offenders of all types. It should be dismantled at the earliest opportunity.

Media city may as well be in Trafford and not Salford based on its sports coverage. Stone most be making a fortune in expenses following United both pre & during the season with the most biased reports imaginable -to quote Jim Royle " BBC independent, my arse "

Sunday night 11pm five live news… City qualify for semi finals…

Even they can’t be so fucking stupid… deliberate to provoke reaction.

Maybe it’s not for everyone, but I loved watching Pep’s Barcelona as a neutral. Now when I watch a game we’re not involved in and both teams are running around like headless chickens with possession changing every ten seconds I just wonder what the hell is going on and why aren’t they playing football?
