There was a decent footballer in Mangala... somewhere.

We lost the CL final because most players weren't in top form in the final weeks of the season (the run of 21 wins from December to March took its toll on the team), and not because Pep played Gundogan at DM.
Our performance vs PSG at the Etihad last season wasn't great. I found it baffling that many thought the same team could win in Porto without many problems. PSG outplayed us in the first half back then even though they were without Mbappé, Dias had to put in a heroic performance to save our asses. We didn't play worse vs Chelsea in Porto, we were just less lucky than vs PSG.
Those who say Pep doesn't get the fans don't get Pep: they don't understand why he plays the way he plays, and they don't understand why he says the things he says.
This City team is better than the Centurions, it has a higher potential than any other City team.
We are harder to beat when Jesus plays, he has to start the biggest games in the CL. His bottom level is definitely higher than the bottom level of the other forwards: that is, he is more reliable than them. Plus, he scores in big games: in both games vs Real, vs PSG this season, at Stamford Bridge this season...

Bluemoon isn't the best song.
It’s shite - a maudlin, depressing dirge which we stop singing before any note of positivity enters the lyrics.
It’s become part of our fabric, so it’s here to stay - but it has to be one of the least uplifting club anthems in English football.
Unfortunately 10 years of winning trophies has built in some a sense of entitlement and taking this great team for granted. Perhaps when Pep eventually goes and if we're in a position of struggling to even qualify for the CL it may reset some expectations.The big myth at the heart of this is the idea that the 2012 team was as good as this side.
The reality is that they'd get absolutely smashed by this side or any Pep side since 2017.

This city side will beat city side that contains prime aguero, silva and kompany on it 9 out 10.

Some of our fans want us to do badly so they can feel like they’re right to be pessimistic.
Dzeko was criminally underrated.

A serious reply - we probably did fudge the finances to cheat FFP but I couldn't give a fuck as it was a bent rule put in place by a bent governing body in the first place.

We have a ladies team?Grealish is hugely overrated.
Jesus, great lad, fantastic endeavor/attitude but not sure he is a good player.
Not interested in any way with the City ladies team.
