Can somebody please explain the thinking and logic behind the elbow bumping pre-match and the the hugging/shaking hands during/post-match because I'm at a loss.
Trying to follow protocol early on, then totally forgetting probably.

Think it’ll be Bournemouth and West Ham going down with Norwich. West Ham have an awful fixture list.

Watford & Villa will have enough fight about them.

Assuming City win, the FA Cup semi final line up looks good.
Villa are gone imo. 2 men are put on Grealish every game, hence why he’s the most fouled player in Europe, and so they hardly create any chances now. Also, their fixtures are truly awful.

Newcastle are literally just sitting with 11 men behind the ball waiting to concede. Sheer cowardice from a truly pathetic football club.

Newcastle trying the old rope-a-dope, hoping City burn themselves out. It will fail.

This has been one of the most pathetic displays of parking the bus I’ve ever seen. What is their goal here? They aren’t even trying to nick a set piece. Are they planning to keep them out for 120 minutes & win it on pens? Because that ain’t gonna work. Awful “plan” from Bruce.

This drinks break needs to stop being an excuse for teams to talk to their manager and relieve pressure. Drinks, with managers not down talking to them and back to playing is all it needs to be.

This is the worst case of bus parking since Norwich yesterday.

Norwich only parked the bus in extra time when they were knackered & down to 10. They outplayed us at times when it was 11 vs 11.

What Newcastle are doing is way way way worse. They’ve parked the bus from kickoff.

Where was this City against Chelsea? Bottlers.
Chelsea didn’t play with their entire team in their own box.

Knew they would help them even more by giving them a penalty. Now Newcastle have got to pull their fingers out and try to score

That’s such a stupid pen to give away. Bruce should haul him off.
