***Champions v Rags (A) | Official Match Thread***

Excellent all round. Complete control of the game from start to finish.
Fred man of the match, he won so much ball for us. Pity he was taken off.

Brilliant stuff from city, massive effort from the best player in the league, the one and only Mr Bernardo Silva.

I managed to watch the last 20 minutes , they looked really shit!!

Hopefully I can watch on MOTD tonight, will see if any of my dodgy apps will get me BBC1

You should’ve seen the first 70, we made them look like school kids.

[Beefymcfc]

Only 4 touches in our box, a new record for the Rags, ha ha.

[Beefymcfc]

Even Schmeichel says it was a penalty on Jesus. Astonished VAR missed it.

I’m not. They always seem to miss stuff like that when it comes to City.

At least Pep gets it and is being more outspoken on the subject.

[sheblue]

That's the warm up done. When's the match starting??

[Beefymcfc]

Ps. That game showed the real gulf in class of the manager’s and players, and I cannot believe that the media won’t be talking about the Hobbits head. Suits us for him to stay but once again it will be driven by the media if the Rag manager stays or goes.

I could watch that again, just tell Kev to stick the boot into the cunt that tried to hurt him.

Anybody seen a replay of that?

Stat of the day
“Scum Utd had more shots on target at their own goal (2) than they did on Manchester City’s goal (1)

[Beefymcfc]

What’s Keane on about, they won the second half 0-0?

[Beefymcfc]

Souness a little angry. Obviously wanted a Rag win to help his beloved Dippers.

[Mase]

What’s Keane on about, they won the second half 0-0?

How many points do they get for winning but not winning the second half then? Same amount as they get for “having an academy graduate in the squad for a match day since 1905”

[Dameerto]

Fell asleep during the second half - I blame the RAGs for that.

Correct, they do have good players but are not organised at all, but Oliver again I mean wtf is going on, why was Penandes not booked, how did lady boy get away with it, and what about the penalty shout, fucking pigmol corrupt but hey we won so fuck it.

[carl_feedthegoat]

I’ve watched that foul again on Jesus - it’s a glaring penalty

VAR not fit for purpose .

[PeterParker]

Fantastic performance all around. I was not confident at all, but it seems that we really show up in big games this year in the league.
Not as good as Chelsea away, but one of the best derby performances out there in the past decade.

What I can't go past is the penalty issue. That needs an explanation from PIGMOL.
Not even a single penalty in the league vs rags is something I cannot accept. Even if we would have won 9-0, that was one of the most clear penalties I've seen in years in football, not just our games. Stonewall.
Don't forget about it because we won, but ask for an explanation.

I am baffled that this is something no one talks about.

This shit should always be noted as there’ll be times that it will have a greater affect.

Good to see a City win as got them all arguing about United, not a thought about how good we were. Playing to their Rag audience who fucked off from their armchair with 20 minutes to go.

Been lurking on rag cafe. Someone said Keane, Richards and Souness showed more energy in the last 20 minutes than their lot did the whole match

[Beefymcfc]

Brilliant. The show was supposed to finish at 3 but now rescheduled to carry on so that they can carry on dissecting the Rag shit show.
