Several teams were playing more attractive, energetic and expansive football than us last season, we just ground out results.Barely got over the line? We lost on 6th December 2023 and then…er….didn’t lose a single league game.

Yippee.Silverlake is one of the investors behind Co-op’s owner, OVG. In Abu Dhabi, OVG is partnered with the state-owned entertainment company Ethara, which is the brainchild of Khaldoon and Simon Pearce. Ethara’s chairman is Abdulla Khouri, who is also a board member of City. So, when you buy a beer at Co-op you can be sure that a small portion of the revenue eventually finds its way to our friends in Abu Dhabi.

The most exciting thing is to winI have to say that our football has become an increasingly hard watch this last couple of years. Whether that is due to teams working out how to play against us, or the squad being less and less capable of doing what Guardiola wants, or our more creative players getting injured more often, I don't think it can be denied that our play has become increasingly slow and "sideways".
I don't think it's unfair to say that many teams have played more "exciting" football the last couple of seasons.
All imho of course.

Don't care how we win, there's nothing exciting about losingThe words "It's not winning but how you win" has never had more meaning over the last few seasons.
As has "FUCKING SHOOT" instead of constantly passing the ball backwards from crossing and shooting positions.

Which game do you look back on most fondly .... the fairly dour 1-0 win in the 2012 run in against a park the bus rags team or the really exciting seven goal thriller at Old Trafford a few years previously where we conceded at the death to lose it.
