***City v Fulham |Official Match Thread***

[Harry Dowd scored]

Good win - that’s 4 more wins needed?

4 wins + 2 draws or 5 wins - 14 points anyway

As a maximum. Probably be even less required as the rags and Leicester will surely both drop more points

certainly when they play each other

The laws of average say we will get minimum 86 points so the rags can fuck off they have to play Leicester so dropped points there, unless we do a Devon Loch it’s good night Vienna for rags

MOTD's Pearcey the Pig squealing that our £175m defence + £35m keeper- one of whom is called Monday apparently - should be expected not to concede any goals

[blues-clues]

It has been estimated that in the 16 years since the takeover, more than £1bn has left the club in finance costs to service the debt and pay dividends to the Glazer family. Shame we wasted the money on our squad.

Isn’t he the gimp that called Liverpool “champions” when commentating on them in December 2018. We know how that poem ended.

[Outcast]

I'm sick of trying to justify ourselves, best just to say, yes we are rich, fucking filthy rich and we spend what we want, so fekk off.

The more we try to justify the more they carry on bashing us with it.

I mean what's wrong with being rich and spending big?

If the same fucktards won the the lottery do you think they'll donate it all to charities because it's no organic or it might upset their neighbours?

[Dubaimancityfan]

A weird starting lineup with my Fantasy players, captain KDB and Foden on the bench did not give me a lot of confidence, however what do I know ? It worked well and very happy that Kun played a full 90 and scored. Never doubt Pep !!

Great win against a team that had conceded 2 goals in the previous 7 games and one of those was an own goal.
Laporte was immense and Gab took his goal really well. My first thought after he scored it was Sterling in that position would never have scored that one

What was immense about Laporte?
Agree he had a good game, but immense?

I don't think we looked good overall, to be honest. First half was poor all over the pitch, a useless system change, imho. Can't see the reason behind it. Agree with the rotation, but system change? At this point in the season? You don't experiment now, you consolidate.

Good win, but I hope I will not see again this system.

Definitely looked disjointed. I don’t think Fulham set up the way Pep expected and the players took ages to figure it out.

Strange not to have Walker on when we play wing backs for me too.

100% will be Parker if Fulham stay up

Going off the Zaba thread, I’d say NQDP as Manager of the Year. You can’t coach the future international captain and not get an award.

Didn't rotate Laporte, he played midweek.
I thought he played really well. Won his headers, his challenges and he's really good on the ball. Always looking to pass the ball forward as well.

4 wins + 2 draws or 5 wins - 14 points anyway

As a maximum. Probably be even less required as the rags and Leicester will surely both drop more points

More importantly before that, dippers will be dethroned (officially impossible for them to retain
title) Possibly over their next 2 games?

Only shitter with that is we don't dippers getting closer to a European slot by us bearing neverton before the international break

The Everton game is the FA Cup qf. We've already played the league game at Goodison.

After telling us that Man City's central defenders shouldn't let any goals in because they cost a combined total of £175m maybe someone should explain that in today's terms his hero Sir Alex Ferguson spent more than double that on a single player in 2002 - Mr Rio Ferdinand. Times have moved on though and while City's owners continue to invest in the team, United's have already extracted over £1bn from their revenues to support midwest supermarkets and are just about to sell a chunk of their shares with no benefit to the club at all.

Long live the Glazers

[carl_feedthegoat]

The Frenchman lost possession 16 times and won just one of his five ground duels at Craven Cottage (SofaScore), with some City supporters making their feelings known on social media.

Probably referring to fans like me ............ FUCKING BAG OF CUNT needs selling asap.

my contribution to the MOTD FB page btw - thought I'd share it with an appreciative audience on here, pity it didn't include you. On reflection I should also have mentioned Piggy's unpleasant attacks on Stones & Sergio - not live commentary of course all dubbed onto the footage post match as is his way.
