Just got home from game and yet again I put the effort time and money in to supporting the team, But yet again there is half of the team not caring i know if i took that attitude in my work i would be sacked. I don't care if we loose its the lack of effort that kills me.

MP made the right decision today , we have potentially got the biggest game in our history on Wednesday (excluding Gillingham) , and he rested players , because if we will still have a chance to qualify for the top 4 , if it went t*ts up at Souhtampton. But it is a sad reflection on his management skills that he can select eleven players and watch them play so poorly , with no passion or concern for the football club , he sat on the sidelines today and accepted the inevitable , it was insult to the travelling supporters and every blue who witnessed that horror show.

fortunately i have kidney pain so didnt go.


there is a God
 
Fortunately, l had to drive past Southampton today without stopping: had to go to an inlaw's family gathering in Chichester, where plenty of us were getting depressed by the news from down the road. Not going to bother with the recording of the full game, MotD was enough suffering. The defending was abysmal. On that evidence, I wouldn't want to have to choose who to partner with Vinnie at CB on Wednesday. Just hope the sacrifice of points proves worthwhile.

Well said Nelly. That's exactly what gets the backs up of the fans. In modern football we have a squad of talented footballers. IF they wanted to; IF they had the incentive, this team today could have turned out a performance. Trouble is; they have the money, the nice cars, the trophy girlfriend/wife and a handsome lifestyle. What they don't have is a PASSION for the club - it's just a job. There is no Pride in Battle for this lot. That together with a manager who is halfway out the revolving door. The fans are the only ones who feel the real disappointment and have to put up with the shit comments from their workmates. We're mugs who are hopelessly addicted to the shirt and come back every game expecting some commitment to the cause.

This post should be stuck on every wall and door of our super training ground and every player made to read it out loud 100 times. That was a gutless performance, one of many this season. The players do not seem to have any pride in their work. Happy to keep taking the money though.
 
Have we not got a young lad somewhere who is better than Kolorov????? His attitude today smacked of ''I couldn't give a fuck'' and as such he shouldn't be anywhere near the first team ever again!

A game cannot be potentially the biggest game in our history it either is or it isn't, the only semi final game that is a teams biggest game ever is a team that as never got past that stage or never won a league or promotion

If we win a Champs League semi final at the Bernabeu , it will be the finest result in our history to date , so its also potentiailly the biggest for me , but i admit i only started supporting citeh in 2008 :)

I tell you something....if Mike Doyle or Andy Morrison was in that team today they would be cleaning the blood off the away dressing room still!

I suspect so. As noted above, I've not seen the whole game but I don't need to know how they played. We have too many players without the heard, grit, character, mental fortitude or whatever you want to describe it as to tough it out game after game in this league. That is not the only issue by any means but I believe it is has been a consistent problem of major proportion and I firmly believe numerous changes need to be made to the squad to give the next manager a real chance of producing a side that delivers far more consistently than any we have yet had.

So in years to come you have your grandson on your knee and he asks what what the biggest game you saw as a city fan amd you say the semi final of the cl? Not the qpr game or the Stoke game? Very strange
 
Three years ago we 3-1 to Southampton and it looked like the end of Mancini and a few players, Barry notably.

Today was worse in that we know Pellegrini is gone but we needed the points.

It was pretty clear the likes of Zabaleta and Demichelis are past it, Kolarov doesn't give a crap, Delph is nowhere near good enough for us, Bony is unfit, off form and doesn't fit the team, Sterling's confidence is shot. 5 of our starting team weren't at the races. Two moments from the only player who wasn't embarrassed stopped it from being a rout.

The manager yet again got so much wrong. Had his excuses in early, his team setup was wrong and as so often we were disorganised, complacent and lazy. Yet again the opposition worked harder than we did.

If we continue our woeful record against decent teams next Sunday we will miss out on the champions league. Considering our form this season we really can't have any complaints.

Likeable guy he is I can't wait till Pellegrini is gone.

You could argue that Pellegrini has done well to get so much out of this squad. It isn't the embarrassment of riches some make out-it's ageing and injury prone. One final push for the last 4 games and we can look back on this squad with fondness and teary eyed nostalgia for a life time.
 
We never win away, we lost today, and we may win on wday away. We didn't lost last week and we lost today
We don't give a fuck but a 70 pages thread. 'Cos we're all pissed up.
We engineered a starting XI that should'ave been the same as that at the Bridge for the fa cup.
 
I am sick of us conceding multiple fucking goals to ordinary teams.
