Sick and tired of the negativity around City and football at the moment.
So we battered Spurs overall but dropped a bollock and they got a stuffy result. Water's wet. It happens basically every year and will happen every year until the end of time. We've been cursed against them since Tommy Hutch's own goal in 81 and it won't change now. Yeah the ref's decision at the end was mental but do we have to cry corruption every time this happens? By my count that's now City, United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Everton, and Wolves who have all been direct targets of the PL's corruption this season. Makes you wonder why the fuck we bother turning up. What happened to just taking a bad day the office on the chin and accepting that shit happens? Why must every mistake be followed by this kind of outrage and demand for accountability. And I don't just mean today, I mean everyone - Arteta sending letters to the FA and Klopp asking for games to be replayed, Everton fans turning up with big pink cards saying CORRUPT on them. It's all so fucking pathetic. If VAR has shown anything it's that half of refereeing decisions can't be 100% explained and that all we're doing by going to VAR all the time is heading off on in pursuit of an answer that doesn't exist.
Just can't be arsed getting all frustrated and angry about the performance today or the ref being a jobsworth. Yeah we're a bit porous at the back at the moment but Spurs gave us a good game and we've got key lads missing in the middle. That's always a recipe for a bit of a disjointed display. But Pep's a problem solver, he's made a living off it, and if he doesn't solve the defensive issues this season then he'll solve it next season. In the meantime can we not, as a fanbase, just bask in the glory of last season for a bit and cut the lads a bit of slack? Reflect on what we achieved, understand that only one other team in English football history has ever done what we did last season. The players obviously have to stay switched on because it's their job but it's not always possible. Feels like in the summer it was broadly accepted among City fans that winning the treble and going all the way in three comps would take it out of the lads and make this season a tough one, but all that's gone out the window cos of a couple of naff performances? It's made me a bit sad and disillusioned with some City fans really. It's shite from the lot of us.
