  1. 'Pep' Guardiola sack watch

    Annoying to lose. But Chelsea are a good team, it was always a possibility. He wont get sacked, more likely he'll ask for a striker and get one. You'd be mad to sack him after winning the league just because he didn't win the FA Cup and Champions league and if we did, who would we replace him...
  2. Champions league Semi Finals 2020-21 - April 27-28 and May 4-5

    Should be an exciting second leg. No city fan I know is honestly "confident" we'll win, but you'd have to think we're in the stronger position.
  3. European Super League

    This is the inevitable final result of running football clubs like a business. The Glazers, the Saudis, all of them. A closed shop makes the most sense from a financial perspective and thats what they're going to go for, probably with a salary cap at some point. It seems like UEFA's best bet is...
  4. Aguero - not long at City?

    Jesus, I remember being at his first game against Swansea behind the goal when he came on two score two and assist one. Is this what getting old feels like? 10 years.
  5. Man City 2020/21 - General discussion

    Ah yes, i remember the cries in the pub of the early 2000s. "United won the league again after taking everyones best players, but I don't resent them because their money is earned from match-day revenue." Not the most quotable thing ever heard in the grove on a Saturday afternoon but...
  6. United and Liverpool driving "Project Big Picture" - Football’s biggest shake-up in a generation

    What makes you think this would hurt City? They'd be part of the super majority, benefit from the increased revenue share (more so than united) and be able to prevent new competitive owners coming in like with the failed Newcastle takeover. All this is is an attempt to screw over the little...
  7. Does the upcoming (Bayern - PSG) UCL final represent something more

    Lewandowski on a free. Amazing. Although I admit to bias as a city fan and seeing teams dismantled for years. Does anyone really think Bayern's transfer strategy a few years back of getting star players to run down their contracts is healthier for the game than PSG spending a fortune on them...
  8. Nathan Ake (Close to signing for Man City, £40m fee)

    Even world class defenders don't win every one and one, and those are the chances our system mostly gives up. I love watchingCity when the attacks flowing and the goals are coming,but even in the most one sided games we give up one golden chance where it's 3v3 or 2 2v2 at the back.
  9. Nathan Ake (Close to signing for Man City, £40m fee)

    So much money for a player who's never really caught my eye. To be honest, short of world class elite players like peak company or Van Dijk, there are very few defenders who'd make a difference in our defense in my opinion. It's an issue with the team set up rather than the individuals.
  10. Good players who made the wrong career move

    God he was an awful buy. Was never going to make it at City and always looked out of his debt. Utter madness.
  11. Could they void the PL due to the Coronavirus? | No | Resuming June 17th

    Every body has that, or should. If they want to enter a public place that is. Thats kind of what I'm saying in terms of the level of control. Every time you enter your home or a public place, your temperature is taken. Every time you take a tube you scan a code so if theres an out break so they...
  12. Could they void the PL due to the Coronavirus? | No | Resuming June 17th

    Shanghai itself is pretty well on its way back to normal from what I've seen. I've been back to work for over a month, things certainly aren't as busy as usual but its not a ghost town like it was in February. But the level of control they have here is astonishing compared to back home. There's...
  13. 'Pep' Guardiola sack watch

    And Padr's point is, that's literally what he said. OF course we'd care more if we won it. But right now if you asked most city fans, we'd rather have the league.
  14. 'Pep' Guardiola sack watch

    I'd be amazed if he got sacked, our owners generally have been sensible about things. It seems more like a blip than him losing the dressing room so I'm hopeful he can turn it around. Punished for not replacing Kompany though, just like every man and his dog knew he would be.
  15. City fans disgusting behaviour | Aeroplane and monkey gestures | Do not dox please

    Typical idiot fans ruining it for the rest of us. Throwing things at footballers as if they're war criminals instead of just blokes playing for the other team. It's as bad as liverpool fans chucking things at coaches. What sort of an imbecile is so riled up about the derby they resort to...
