What do people expect they will say about City?

Even the most blinkered Blue at Wembley yesterday couldn't mount a decent defence of that performance.

It was shocking. It might have been a friendly, it might have been "close" but football pundits have to come up with a point of view, and there's nothing easier than a swipe at City viewpoint after a performamce like yesterday.

But it's the same for Chelsea... and Arsenal... and if Spurs lose a couple of games, it will be about them as well.

Big investment leads to big expectations leads to big criticism when it doesn't come off.

Would it be preferable when we were all complaining that TV and the radio pretty much totally ignored us when we were mid table? If you want to play with the big boys, that comes with the territory...

Stop talking sense!

Spurs never get it.....Candleface has too many mates in the media.

United have, for a long time, been greater than the sum of their parts. We're still not looking equal to the sum of our parts and that will attract attention from the media whether we like it or not.

The only way we are going to answer them is with success on the pitch.

last year they said we would not get into top 4....its the media, we are all used to it now right?

Correct.

Go back a year. Match Of The Day slaughtered us after the Spurs game.

No team spirit like Spurs, no chance of top 4, blah de blah...Let the fuckers woman.

The performance was still rank and we wont be allowed to forget it for a long time. If we are top in May the press will say we've killed football.

 

[mancunial]

They are all obsessive, all strings being pulled by one man, they are all cowards puppets and self glory seeking cunts, please look at me I,m slagging city off, we should all be able to take anything these slugs have to say.

getting ripped to shreds on 5 live, spent 500 million to stop the other team playing

some of our ctiticism is not justified and is absurd.
this isnt.

we were awful yesterday , we conceded territory ,and tried to stop them playing . awful display , awful tactics. it was like a display in the early mancini days .

 

[Prestwich_Blue]

Arsenal got it as well. Wenger getting ripped to pieces for not buying a defender.
