Those dropped points yesterday are really going to cost us I fear. I've just posted about it in the top five thread.

Yeah, it was a bummer. But what can you do when the other side has no intention to play a game of football? Yesterday Southampton were a fucking embarrassment to the profession.

Just noticed Partey seems to be getting booed for some reason. Did he commit a bad challenge early on?

Who knows mate, they threw bananas at John Barnes after they won the league and he was voted PFA player of the year for them! I work with a few scousers and i love how they cant just say it was wrong. Iv'e even been told that them throwing bananas at their own black player is no different to City fans having inflatable bananas in the Kippax!

They truly are a cult and a different breed!

Perhaps, but I'm much more positive after today's games. We could draw with Bournemouth and beat Fulham. Anyway, those 2 teams will actually try and play football, which suits us more at present than a team defending for their lives.
 
Advert for the Europa League;-

Want an easy trophy and a quick pass into the Champions League?
Then give up on your domestic duties and just concentrate on this cup.
It doesn't even matter if you finish in the bottom five of your league, in fact, fuck it.

Testimonials -

Bruno from Manchester - "I thought that my team were so crap that we wouldn't ever manage to qualify for the CL but with a little bit of luck, here we are in the final"

Ange Hasn'tgotaclue from North London - "Well, no matter how shite we've been, here we are in a Euro final and on the verge of CL football"

Next season, just play for a Europa League place, make sure you avoid relegation and Bob's your uncle - CL football the season after.

I’m not sure that was the plan last August, but it’s certainly been the plan since they both got to the SF stage and the relegation places were fully booked!!

Turns out that for both clubs, the Europa League Final is going to determine their season, Premier League be fucked!

That game might be the most lucrative game in British football this season, even more than this year’s Championship Play Off Final!!

Sure, boo him if he returns as an ex-player, but surely you don't boo him while still a player for your team?

No you don't ever boo your returning ex players if they give their all for City! Did you boo Zabaletta when he returned for West Ham?

I have only ever heard 2 players booed on their return, Milner and Barton! They got booed because they both couldnt wait to slag City off once they left, after both being loved by City fans when they played for us!

I just want nothing more before I leave the planet for one of our first teams, anyone to not lose their heads and be intimidated in that pigsty and just go muller them about 4-0. I live in hope. I was there for the 3-1 win Boxing Day 1981.

The 4-1 in Feb 21 was good but none of their rabid fans were in attendance. I want that skanky crowd really silenced.

I loathe everything about that rancid club.

That was marvelous. I firmly believe the team was on a mission that day, it wasn't just about winning, it was about humiliating them at their home. It was a difficult season, no rest, no preseason, the team struggled in the beginning. Pep introduced a new strategy, convincing the boys that there was a way to win without running (our runnings have been prioritised since then, the less exist when we have the ball, it's literally unbelievable to me people still fail to understand this), and after winning every single match on January, City arrived at Anfield in the beginning of Fabruary with a restored confidence...

They equalised against the run of play, but we kept attacking. Scored the second, and we kept asking for more and more, even if it was over. Liverpool were scared throughout the 90' minutes, I remember there were counter attacking situations for them, but people would not follow the play from behind, preferring to keep their positions. Phil's fantastic goal in the end summed up perfectly our attitude that day...

Earlier in the season, we faced them at home. They took the lead, we equalised, they were happy to escape with a draw in the end. Liverpool had just won the league, they were playing as champions. If you manage to find footage of the scenes on the pitch in the end, take a look at Klopp's face, you will remember me. Personally I see a bitter-sweet impression. Realising that they perhaps missed an opportunity (his team was fresher than ours), but at the same time satisfied with the point, Liverpool had avoided defeat. Honestly, the following thought is on my mind since that very moment: I think Jurgen realised right there that the 2019-20 campaign was an one-off. He realised right there that he would never get rid of Pep, he would never get rid of City. The rest is history, 5 years later he would quit a broken man...

PS. And as for the 2019-20 season, Jurgen shoulf feel grateful to City's hierarchy for not replacing Vincent. You will never hear from me the cliche, Eric's injury being "bad luck". BS. I'm sorry, injuries are part of football. Losing Eric was simply the worst case scenario in a complicated situation. That's why management has become a science, helping you being proactive, taking measures to deal with problems BEFORE they occur. Directors relying on "luck" are mediocre or bad managers, people who do management professionally are fully aware of this. The consequences of that decision go all the way to Lyon -and I prefer to say no more at the moment. But I will say a lot for the "failure" of our current campaign when the time is right. Responsibility for this has a name, actually more than one. It's so fucking easy making a living away from the spotlight. Watching Guardiola operating as a magician, so as to deal with all kind of problems. And watching players dying on the pitch, season after season, sacrificing themselves. And delivering. 4 fucking years. FOUR! With the squad getting weaker and weaker. With players unable to run anymore or / and recovering from injuries. Everything we're facing this season, every single thing, should have been anticipated and prevented. Because it was expected. A matter of "when", rather than "if". And guess what: They, manager and players, are the ones facing criticism these days, in this very forum. But very few are willing to talk about the people making the managerial decisions behind close doors. I'm sorry, that's totally unfair. It's totally wrong. And totally unacceptable...

It’s mad, because about 6 months ago he’d have been the one I’d have nabbed out the Arsenal side given the chance over anybody else.

Just seems to have regressed so much. Lost his incision.

To be fair mate, They would probably say the same about Foden!

It just makes you realise how only the elite few can do it constantly every season.

I love the fact that their two highest points total ever wasn't enough to stop us winning the league!

Scousers are a disgrace booing Arnold. Even though I don't like the little wanker he's given them great service and helped win them loads of trophies. I bet he can't wait to escape that shit hole.

Its piss funny that they have convinced themselves that Liverpool are a better proposition than Madrid. They think he is making a mistake doing what Zidane, Real Ronaldo, Beckham, Bale, Fake Ronaldo, Figo, Mbappe, Bellingham etc did and sign for the biggest club in the world!

They actually believe that a spray painted picture of him, on the side of a council house in Anfield should mean more to him than playing for Real Madrid!

Amazed Slot has even brought Alexander-Arnold on.

TAA is silly for playing. imagine he would have got seriously injured today! I cant imagine Madrid being happy about him playing. He should say hes injured and fuck off on holiday

WHAT????? Feel sorry for that arrogant **** who said winning the League meant more to them.

Sorry mate but FUCK OFF.

What should he have said? He is a Liverpool fan, of course he thinks it means more to them.

I can guarantee that Foden thinks our treble means more than United's did to them!

Just to be clear, I'm not advocating booing players on their return. Think it's a bit disingenuous of you to jump to the conclusion that I'd boo one of our most beloved players. I'm just saying it's one thing to boo a player you're dissatisfied with when they return, but it's a whole other low to boo a current player.
