I`m old & infirmed myself Dave.

But you still have some of your wits about you, hence you have always supported City.
Now it's time for your warm milk and a nap. :-)

It’s looking very much like the players are revolting,

They're not that bad looking, apart from the obvious ones.

Well...

NBC Sports ripping the scum pre match.

"The club is rotting from the core!"

That'll go down well with their US "fans".

Followed by; "After the Fulham match we go to successful side in Manchester as City look to beat Bournemouth and not many would bet against it..."

It's no coincidence that their best performance of the season (by some distance) was the home win against Palace in the Carabao Cup - a game in which neither Rashford or Penandes started

A game in which neither Rashford, Fernandez or Palace started.

Haha ,now Harry doesn’t fancy it either

 

[hertsblue]

who do they think they are fooling with saying Rashford out with an injury.
Clearly another bust up behind the scenes with his birthday celebrations in the news

We need the whole country to pick up on it. Fair play to the barcodes and (unfortunately!) L***s fans for getting on board with it in its first week. I've always wondered, though, how a brand new (to me anyway) chant actually get picked up by a fanbase? Is it as simple as one bloke belting it out, those around him hearing it and joining in, and then the ripple effect as it spreads out throughout the stand?

In a pub in Dortmund c2013 one Guy kept on singing the “ you thought you’d won the League at Sunderland” song over and over on his own basically and folk started to join in and FF an hour or so the whole Pub was singing it. So I wonder if this is how they start out?

Think it's really weird how much is being made out of this Rashford birthday party. If Foden or Jack went out on the lash for their Bday the same night as a defeat and made it in to training the next day, I couldn't give a fuck as long they weren't cracking open a tin on the final whistle.

Think it's a bit of manufactured outrage so that Tent Peg can reprimand him in public for the illusion of some discipline.

Yes it's bollocks. It was his birthday and he had the next day off. No wonder tent peg has lost the dressing room.

St Marcus will be hitting the clubs in the West End tonight, I presume.

I asked when you posted this before but you didn't answer. Just like you don't answer anybody who questions your narrative. How do you explain TV money going through the roof in the last 10 years when the dominant team by far is not the rags or your old lot?

If your talking tv which fixture would pull in most viewing figures around the world.. my guess it would involve Liverpool or United.. that’s should tell you all you need to know about interest in a club.
