Manchester City 17/18 discussion | "If you're here for the Champions clap your hands" (#6505)
- Thread starter simonhch
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
Time will tell how good a team they are but I will say that Ederson is one of the better keepers we've "faced".
Can't wait for them to fall apart
Fancy them for the double and win the Champions league also.
Oh dear. As piss poor a response as I could’ve imagined. “Citeh Bingo” is alive and well in your house. Touched a raw nerve for sure - just make sure your half and half scarf is washed and ready for the next derby. There’s a good boy. And who the fook classes themselves as a “born and bred Brit”?
You do realise there's a difference between floating on the stock market and being bought by a sugar daddy right?
Shareholders buy into a business to make money in dividends. United paid out millions to their shareholders over the years.
City's owners have put billions into the club and taken nothing out.
If the only source of income was the fans then United would be in exactly the same position as they are now. So yeah I'm sure most of us would be happy with that!
Very difficult to see who is going to beat them right now. I think only Liverpool and Spurs at home have a chance.
The only reason United fans are showing respect to a rival is because they are much more of a finished product than us & not because that we are some woosies. It feels idiotic to say no if someone asks if their manager is better or are some of their players better - it's nothing like when it was arsenal invincibles + Henry vs United + RVN when we wouldnt take no for an answer & try to convince everyone that RVN was better than Henry because ultimately we were always toe to toe with them compared to how we are now; we could get away with being dillusional.
City currently play one formation & their best players in their best positions & that's pretty much it. Whether they play Us, Barcelona, Or West Brom they will attempt to play the same way & they are becoming masters at their own game. On the contrary we hardly have a proper game plan of our own; in fact we respect the opposition way too much by adapting our tactics to try and counter them - we are currently a club that have too much respect for the oppnents & hardly any control during a match.
This is radiating to the fans - I personally didn't say anything too big about city until they beat us - simply because we respected them on the pitch & it felt stupid not to respect them off it.

You can't argue with the points put forward because they're objective, so you resort to non-sensical, totally non-applicable bitterness.
You're the plaything of an archaic, disgusting oil dynasty, that's just the way it is. Enjoy it, but don't hate on the footy fan who will call it as it is.
Genuine question - Do you think your financial status is actually earned as ours is? Do you actually not see what you are as a club?
Fair post.
I've nothing against City fans enjoying this success. Used to go to Maine Road with my dad in the mid-90s when City were terrible and they always filled the ground. At least they've been rewarded for their loyalty.
Hope the atmosphere is better now than it was then though, remember Richard edgehill and Nick Sumerbee getting crucified every week!
Errr, ok mate.
Not gonna answer the question then? Can't put any kind of spin on it so just pretend you didn't hear it.
They look pretty good to me, must be making 3 x the number of chances of anyone else, apart from Liverpool when LFC are 'at it' 7 the opposition is rubbish.
But... this is a 6-14 split League & further than that 10 of the League can't score more than 1 goal a game (average) - that's hardly a threat to a team scoring 3 goals a match is it? The other 5 could improve too, none of them are convincing all over. We know Utd aren't short of weaknesses but we might be a good 2nd if we could keep Pogba available. I am saying the league is weak, that's exactly what I'm saying. CL Qualification is also a bit easier than it was.
I don't see resentment at their money as esp valid, we had that advantage for years, looks a bit like sour grapes to me. But it's what they whined about for years too, so maybe they deserve some back,
.
They should slow down a little bit but not enough to be panicked where the Title is concerned. And I don't see anyone else winning 12 in a row anytime soon - and that's just re-establish contact at 3-4 points behind.

Oh hardly. I’ve been to quite a few games at Main Road, can’t recall ever seeing it full mind. I’m not saying City as a club or their fans don’t deserve success mind, I think that’s a load of bollocks argument.
Danny Rose and Ben Davies have played much better than our LBs so far this season. We most probably will end up buying Rose next season.
Trippier and Aurier - They are on par with Valencia but we are fecked for RB if Valencia gets injured.
Wanyama, Dembele and Dier - excellent players and on par with Matic, we even tried to buy Dier before closing down Matic.
Son, Alli - both scored 20+ goals last season I think.
So yes Spurs do have a better balanced squad than us.
I think what people fail to understand is that Roy Keane should really be managing this club.
Believe me, I’m miles less bitter now than I was back then. Maybe it’s an age thing but I’m just happy to see City challenging and if United are up there as the nearest challengers so be it. Weirdly, I found it harder coping with competing with Liverpool for the title in 2014 than competing with United in 2012!
Those 2 used to get some frightful stick and I used to rail against it as it was embarrassing the amount of shit they got.
Look, I don’t own the club and I don’t run it either. Nor do I choose who does. How difficult is that to understand Einstein?
Let’s look at something more relevant instead. How many football matches have you attended in your lifetime? How much time and money have you put into following your club? Come on - let’s see your credentials Mr Keyboard Warrior

Why is inevitable to waste a fortune catching up?
city hit a lottery known as the Abu Dhabi lottery. But United hit a similar lottery 25 or so years ago - started with Sky and followed immediately by the internet. The money pumped into football changed astronomically just when Utd went through a good phase so they hoovered up a lot of it. Football has changed completely as a result of the world becoming so much smaller. Just have to accept it's different and that's why you are now as likely to be next to a tourist on Derby day as a local. (Which by the way is shit - but the way of the world)
Yeah was horrible. I asked my dad to stop taking me as it was too depressing. Hope the boo brigade have found some peace now!
Wait until the winning run ends
You know how good City are when Sterling is scoring lots of goals. He can't finish his tea and still gets plenty of goals.
Exactly. Imagine how good martial and Rashford would look in their team.
It's too many is my point.

I can see why there was a fight last week. Can't stand these cnuts.
I can't stand these smug cnuts.
Can't believe I'm saying this, but I will 100% be behind Liverpool when they play City. Sooner they get a defeat the better.

Is that the same liverpool who have just failed at home to score against West Brom. Don't believe the press propaganda abt their fab 4 upfront. They arnt that special.
Small club mentality, classless and embarrassing!
I do think that the forum would benefit if all City discussion was limited to this thread. Including topics about specific players.
So small time.
At least your honest mate. A great post too.
It's better to have 1 or 2 megathreads about City than 450 threads about 'City and the end of Football', 'City and the Beautiful Game', 'City and a record', 'City and..."
Just my opinion
Stay classless City.
Without City and Chelsea hitting the jackpot you'd practically win everything every year. Which is what you want. As all Utd fans would, fair enough i guess too. The landscape has changed though and its no good keep whinging about it.
Jesse Lingard likes this post...
I can't get what they're saying. ??
Think they are singing their park the bus man utd chant.
This, won't let me post the link but they're singing feck off City after winning the Europa League final. It's interesting some of the criticisms aimed at City seem to be for stuff other clubs do as well..
Can someone explain what a born and bred brit actually means. Its the strangest thing ive possibly ever read on a football forum.
