Anyone remember this ancient joke: Paul Gascoigne joins Tottenham from Newcastle and the manager says, "its your first game, so take it easy and we are going to pull you off at half-time". Gazza says, "great, at Newcastle, I only got half an orange....."

I just saw the details of the Utd. match tonight and it reminded me!

It’s a lot older than that.

According to Rodney Marsh, he said it to Sir Alf Ramsey at an England international shortly after he joined City (early 70s)
 
After beating off young boys last night the media are clamouring to praise their phoenix like resurgence.
 
Last night, after me just arriving through the storm, my Norwegian rag mate, graciously allowed me to watch City live on his tv, instead of him watching his beloved rags. They were re-showing the rags later so he could watch it then.

During City's pathetic, abject, display, we unavoidably saw the score from tbe rags game, they were winning 2-0.

After City's abysmal shit show finished, shocked & disappointed, I watched the first half of rags v Young Boys.

They were much, fucking worse.

30 mins in, I asked my mate whether the 2-0 score we saw, was a wind up. Then Pogba poked one in & they got a pen for 'handball'.

They were absolutley, fucking shite.

I saw a chunk of their game this morning and thought similar.

I think they are primed for an implosion at some point. They narrowly avoided one after Spurs, but because the football is so shit, they're only ever 2 or 3 losses in a month from a complete meltdown.

Mourinho was so transparent in how he suddenly started trying to grab onto the fans as a lifejacket in August, suddenly changing his tradition of going down the tunnel before full time to spend 10 minutes applauding the fans, claiming the fans were too smart to fall for fake news in the press etc. His problem is that the fans are fickle, and they'll turn on him after another bad patch.

They face Chelsea, Juventus twice and then us in the space of 3 weeks at the end of October/start of November, with only Everton & Bournemouth as buffers between the big games. That will be an interesting run to watch.
