that twatting ref allowed them to take turns in kicking fuck out of foden, how they finished with 11 men god knows

 

[mancboy]

I wouldn't call Foden's performance poor but it was on the nervy side like most of his team-mates

Not enough is talked about for the pass for doku that resulted in the penalty, that was incredible vision

romero should start the game on a yellow, he is one dirty fucker of a player

Agreed. Phil has been chipping in with the goals and he does deserve a lot of credit for the creative side of his game too

Last night was very nervy, I think, because we're so used to the team starting well and getting control, but we rarely had control in that 1st half. Spurs were clattering into us - Foden in particular - at every opportunity, and getting away with it. It's a long time since I've seen us look sloppy.

The early goal in the 2nd half settled me down a bit, but, knowing that we needed another made the game absolutely gripping. Add the drama around Ederson - when the thug Romero should have been sent off - introduction of Ortega and his heroics - then a cooly taken 90th minute penalty - it made for a fantastic 2nd half spectacle.

When Son missed, I knew we were going to be safe - I immediately thought "... The league's ours again..." but didn't want to tempt fate. Then later, we find that there's 10 f'kin' minutes of injury time!

Got to say, great to see the spirit when Big Earl blasted the penalty home. And, well done Jeremy Doku!

Anyway, it was never in doubt
;-)

While it sucks when kdb goes off its good because it gives phil a chance to move inside into what is fast becoming his position

Betancourt is very sneaky
, stamped on Phils foot.Noticed him up to stuff previously.

He was being kicked fuck out of by these dirty cunts , nothing has changed since delli and Kane have gone, he rinsed Romero for the first goal and his pass for the penalty was sublime

RAWK are really happy at City's win last night. I think they mean that we have a team full of stars. They call them asterisks for some reason.

 

[Uncle Wally One Ball]

Angie Pissedanigloo not happy with the spuds fans

 

[Oooh Curley Wurley]

This team is going to be the end of me, I have already accepted it...

It's impossible to put my feelings into words, simply impossible. Never before in the history of the sport has a group of players been pushed so much for so long, it just hasn't happened. This is beyond human measures, Pep's City keeps beating nature, establishing new standards, new norms...

Bernardo was right, City will never get the credit they deserve. Saddest part though is that this truth also applies to a part of City's fan base. To all those miserable people with their disgraceful comments during first half and half time: We cannot run, you fucking clowns. Not tonight (with 2,5 days to recover), not last week, not last month. This goes on for 4 consecutive years. FOUR! That's the reality of this team, match after match after match after match, domesticaly as well as abroad. Pep's strategy is designed exactly so as to hide this problem. He delivered without a striker, he delivered without fullbacks, he keeps delivering with a team that operates with unbelievably low energy levels. It hasn't happened before, never, and it won't happen again. History is written before our very eyes, and yet there are people who call themselves City fans that wiil never get this. So fucking sad. These people do not deserve this manager, these players, this team...

I'll tell you who do: All the thousands of people who felt the abuse in their skin for decades. All those who did not abandon ship, did not become glory hunters. Humble, hard working people who kept loyal to the cause in the dark days of history. With a differemt attitude, trust me, history would have been different, I am sure our owners did their research and identified the potential before making their move. It's these people, they are the ones who deserve this. The message to them (many of whom are no longer with us)? You should be proud of this manager and those boys out there on the pitch. They are the ones who represent you. We are talking about MEN. Men with guts, men with honour, men with dignity. Men who will not hesitate to play with one leg, if necessary. Men willing to sacrifice themselves for the cause...

A final comment: All those cunts from the media and social media who pushed Spurs to give everything tonight, you got your answer. Suddenly it became a test for Spurs players, having to prove to the world that they won't throw the game away. A fucking disgrace. No, I did not expect the red carpet, but I'm not sure they've shown this kind of "physicality" (that's what they call it, right?) frequently, have they? Mr Levy and the media cunts will have to try harder next time...

My warm congratulations to the manager and the boys. I've said it before, I've reached a point where I live my life through City now. Didn't ask for it, never expected it, this team made it happen. As I said a few days ago, no matter what happens in the next couple of weeks, I will be here to applaud this team -and I know I will not be the only one. Lead them to victory, Pep. You and the boys deserve it 1000%...

Just like our team, manager, staff and travelling support you nailed it Nelinho sir.

Your post made the hairs on my neck stand up (none on my head being a young FOC) and your line about those who are no longer with us a tear - that is why I still keep going so that when I join them I can say I was there for you as you were with me through the late 70s 80s 90s 00s

Cmon you Bluuuuesss

We love you City we Do

they should know all about asterisks shouldnt they, there only pl win has a massive one next to it and they can put an asterisk next to their european achievements because by their actions english clubs were banned for 5 years and didnt have a chance to catch them up.

 

[its a Barm]

The nerves defo got to the players which showed us they are human but we still got the job done, I thought spuds but up a good fight.
Last night was one of the most nervous I've been for a long time excluding finals, from ko the time flew after the first goal time seemed to stand still, anyway I really hope we and the players can have a nerve free final day of the season.

 

[MikeF]

Has there been a single red card for foul play this season? I don’t mean two yellows, I mean a straight red. Not just in games featuring us but across the league. It seems people are allowed to foul with absolute impunity and the worst they’ll get is a yellow. It’s a bloody farce.

It must be some directive from Howard Webb/SKY. Keep 22 men on the field at all times

And yet, you can get booked for kicking the ball away.

 

[failsworthblueboy]

Well 2 more ideally, but I'll take the first one.

One game at a time.

 

[ancoats]

How do the players handle the pressure ?

Last night's game was the Biggest game of football Manchester City football club has ever faced, Forget the Champions League final, This game with Spurs away was the worst ever to watch, I am still not buying into Spurs wanting to lose no club wants their team to lose a game of football,

100 minutes of Pain, Stress, Blood pressure at boiling point, Plus that heart-stopping Akanji Sun moment, Then Stefan Ortega's biggest ever save in his career, That was the Moment Arsenal fans were making up a well-known song we all know about, Stevie G slip,

All I can say is Manchester City football club never wins or loses the easy way, Drama must be written into our DNA

Probably the first time in 8 years I do this, reply to a member with such a generous comment on a post of mine. Your strong words made me emotional, you should know that -and I have a difficult day ahead (lol)...

People like you and the culture and identity they represent, that's what this team is about. That's my view, that's the way I see it. I sincerely thank you, you are very kind and generous...

 

[Penfold the Duke]

I'm not of the digital age and don't watch people watching football. These 3 simply show me that it's really best if I don't start now. WTF is going on in the world??????????????
