He might make us better on crosses?!

Or then again not, but we might just keep winning leagues etc

Yes, that's a fair point. But can anyone be satisfied with that kind of fare?

Nope. My heart is usually racing before kick-off. Tonight it wasn't & I never cheered once. I just wanted the three points & for it to be over without any injuries or bookings.

I suppose with the total of three minutes added time across both halves, the time-keeper & referee felt the same. Bratislava learned nothing & gained nothing from this match, & neither did City.

To be honest, I don't blame any of our lads for not really busting a gut & doing just enough to secure the points. Just imagine if Haaland, Gvardiol, Akanji or Phil had got injured in this pointless bollocks?

I said much the same to my lad, described it as "chaos" at half time.

That’s what it was - chaos.

I think, was it Swindon or Cheltenham away in the FA Cup a few years ago?, it was a very similar performance from both City and the opposition. Can’t quite remember which game it was but the opposition were so poor it made the game frustratingly chaotic.

You are a ray of sunshine.

Cheers.

I had Ars on one laptop and our game on the other one. I really focused on Rico whom I find fascinating to watch where and how he plays, otherwise it was like watching a night shift at Amazon distribution center.

How could you focus on Rico if you was also watching the Arse game ? Oh, and why the hell would you want to be watching the arse game when God's team are playing ? Come on Sam, get your priorities right pal.

I know let`s sack Pep then hey Jesus christ !

Bit of an over reaction there mate. Our corners have been gash for 18 months now and given we get so many they could be a decent weapon. That opinion ok?

 

[york away to this!]

FFS you over entitled cunts...

 

[beermusic]

25 games now without a loss in CL... tied record i think

thats because our draw with real madrid is counted because we lost on penalty shoot out

We’d laugh at rags or dippers claiming this as a record. We lost

 

[Dribble]

They’ve made it worse ..

It was tough watching the Bratislava players so dejected, knowing we were toying with them in second gear. Games like this aren't good for football, irrespective of the money generated.

It was a total mis-match & the opposition knew it, but slogged their way through it all the same. Bratislava are way below the level of Copenhagen & Shaktar et al. I honestly don't see the point of putting them up against the likes of City, Bayern, Real etc. Tonight was like playing lower non-league opposition in the early rounds of the Carabao Cup.
