  1. Was it a penalty?

    This. I’ve been trying to recall the opposing team but now remember it clearly and a penalty was given. Thanks for reminding me.
  2. How would Pep do with our squad?

    He would absolutely do better with the current squad. I don't think people give enough credit to Pep in his ability to improve players. Does anyone remember Delph, Zinchenko just to name a few? Or let's even look at DeBruyne, does no one recall that Pelligrini at one point benched him for...
  3. Kaoru Mitoma

    I felt like Brighton didn’t play through him enough. Not everything came off for him but still felt that quite a few of their best moves involved him.
  4. Premier League Gameweek 31

    This. For me it is Pep, not just our investment. A lot just don’t appreciate how ruthless his teams are in the league. When he leaves, you’ll see the drop off and this is from a City fan.
  5. Alexis Mac Allister | Liverpool watch

    He’s been fantastic the whole cup. As an EPL fan, feel proud.
  6. The Final: Argentina vs France

    How good was Mac Allister been for Argentina the whole tournament?! So happy for him.
  7. Erling Haaland

    Manchester City fan here agreeing wholeheartedly, all this doom and gloom is over the top. A few key players and a top manager and you’ll compete. You’ll eventually get it right with the financial might that you still possess.
  8. Premier League Matchday 6

    This, City fan here but I thought it was an embarrassing setup by Chelsea today. Frequently in the first half, they had 11 players behind the ball in their own half. I absolutely hate it when big teams play cowardly, Mourinho style. For goodness sake, you are at home!
  9. Is there a bigger big game bottler than Raheem Sterling?

    This. With the attacking talent on the bench it frustrates me that Mount continued to get the full 90. He was terrible today and the last game. Offered nothing and gave the ball away too cheaply. Like him as a player but not his finest games.
  10. Are French players overrated or is it Deschamps?

    This. Was super disappointed with their performance vs Germany. I think teams with talent of their level have a duty to play on the front foot like Germany did. All this 10 outfielders behind the ball and playing counter when you are the reigning world champions is weak.
  11. Florentino Pérez: The saviour of football.

    That’s might presumptuous of you. How do you build an attachment to a club, doesn’t come from watching a few games?! Starts gradually until they become your team. Fell in love with EPL and European football as a whole from following City, hence why I transitioned from being a casual fan to...
  12. Florentino Pérez: The saviour of football.

    Just curious, for what other reason should non-local fans follow a team? I support City, why? I was intrigued when they first got the investment during the days of Bellamy and Ireland and wanted to follow their journey as they broke into the established elite. Followed them so much that I began...
  13. Another boring one horse race

    This! When I hear United fans complain about the financial advantage, "doping", that City has makes the competition unfair, I'm simply struck by the level of hypocrisy. All those years that you won the title in the last 20 years, was it a fair competition to whoever finished 10th or 15th or...
  14. Wilfried Zaha

    To be fair the team around him is lacking in quality. Numerous players that we consider stars would also be ineffective in that team. How many would Sterling, Rashford, Martial, etc score with that midfield?!
  15. Manchester City banned from CL for 2 seasons and fined 30 million euros | CAS - Ban lifted, fined 10 million

    Yup, let them do that to close the loopholes but don’t impose find and bans arbitrarily without evidence. Either find a way to compel disclosure of the information you need or drop the case for insufficient evidence and improve your ability to oversee clubs But you undermine your own...
