***Official Match Thread: Rags v City***

[Herb]

I am listening to the local commentary on Eurosport (gave up NBC) and they were talking about Nasri and something that happend with Leicester, that i had no idea it happend.

Pellers took him off the squad and the fucker left alone home when there were still 10 minutes in. The staff was searching for him and the fucker was on his way home.

This is not possible to happen. When you are paid like that, you play when it is required. But hey, i still believe in utopia.

How do you know it is true, mate?

I have no idea. I am searching right now.

One of the commentators said that (romanian). I worked with him, he is a mostly a fair one, Spuds fan, but fair.

But again, i did not remember that episode, but i somehow believe it.

That issue was resolved a while back. Some cunt journalist brought it up to stir shit. The club issued a statement to say that Nasri was in his own time so free to come and go as he pleased. Ergo no issue.

Come on folks - the show's over - you can all go home now ;-)

not that it matterrs but 3 minutes stoppage is a joke.

Of course it is.

So is two offside goals but that will be cast to one side, just like the offside goal last week and the 19th stone wall penalty not given.

We have fallen to pieces, there is no denying that, but the officiating has been even worse than our first premier league title winning season.

Our effort has been dire with every game that passes,

Can someone start a "genuine" thread on what the spafia are doing wrong ?

I dont know how its their problem, when they clearly tried to get the best players they can..

Jovetic, Mangala would have been top players for any other team

Really? I've no issue with Ferran, he's building the club but what has TB actually brought to the table?

The CFA was already in the pipeline, and Marwood runs that. I just don't see what he's brought to the party.

Strange really because it all used to be Marwood's fault.

Marwood has his own cross to bear, Txiki came in and axed them all (Mario, Mancini & Marwood) and pushed his own philosophy. He got away with it last year on the back of a defence that was still in the Mancini mold but this year they've been found out.

An ageing squad can't keep this sort of game up, it was inevitable.

I don't think it's all down to lack of effort. I think they are fucked.

[patrickblue]

That scoreline was flattering. We could and probably should have been on the end of a proper hiding.

And you think they could have changed all these players ?

fuck off city you deserve a fucking riot from our own fans you spineless millionaire cun

id genuinely love to twat yaya fucking toure the cunt

[getdressedmctavish]

Difficult to know why its so bad but I think the players must have lost faith with the manager. Its not easy to know but I think a few must be wondering what the fuck when someone like Navas, who doesn't appear to understand the basic rudiments of attacking play, starts most games and when the player who can clearly be arsed the least is made captain at half time. I couldn't help be struck by the difference in cojones between our man and van Gaal when their two most expensive players were brought on only once the game was won. Cant say its easy. Zab was playing from memory and looked like he had dementia. Aguero never played with an ounce of intelligence against two muppets. But essentially to me, all roads lead to Ya Ya. Once we indulged him the manager was dead and that's what we've seen all season.I would put the cleaner in charge, send Ya Ya home and start looking to see who can step up from the kids.

I think it is sad that i am actually relieved it finished with them cunts only scoring 4.For a while i thought anything was possible.

We stuck with Pellegrini ,it was a major gamble,4 wins in 15 games. The team now looks totally shot on confidence. I fear for top 4.

What a fucking disaster of a season. our decline, has been jaw on the floor spectacular.

[Mase]

Fuming that I have to go and walk back in to my girlfriends mum and dads embarrassed as fuck and take shit from two rags that have never been to a Munich match in their lives. But I'm gonna have to walk in there and take one up the arse because we've got a spineless bunch of pricks playing for us. Pisses me off!

Still three paces above where the previous champions were.

[PeterParker]

It is hard for me to understand why people are crucifing Navas today. Imho, he was our best player today, at least in the first half.

They're all pricks mate. Every single last one of them. Even Kolarov.

[dick dastardley]

Ratboy is spot on with the aguero goal walking back to halfway line is embarrassing

[mcfc93]

Wad in the world is toure doing with his fancy flicks at 3-1 down. Is he really uninterested? Or is it cos his past it. And he doesnt want to admit it. So his juz trying to act uninterested to justify his shitness. It feels like he tries extra hard to show his lack of interest with his whole demeanour on the pitch

Oh do fuck off you boring twat. I bet you could have changed the full squad and even beat the Rags today with your tactics.

Good to see you get paid highly to make these decisions.

[Ted Hughes]

Don't be so fucking pathetic.

You can't even discuss your own fucking post like an adult.

Just want a load of fucking yes men to blindly agree on a slagging session without using their fucking brains to question it.

Grow up for fucks sake.

[KinkyKinkladze]

Robbie Earle saying a minute ago that pellers was trying to say things to the players at 3-1 down and some of them (mentioned zabba) just looked at him as to say "what the fuck?"

If true, pellers has lost the players and will be gone by the end of the week I reckon.

[Renato_CTID]

They were angrier and hungrier a lot than us: end of! Kun, Navas and Fernandinho were the best today for me: it's time to give a chance to Patrick Vieira as new head coach! CTWD!

[blues2win]

If this isn't the time for a slagging session I don't know when is. Any football forum for any team in the League would be red hot after a limp derby defeat like that. It comes on top of shitty performances and results going back for months. Pellegrini can have no legitimate complaint if he gets the tin tack next month. What rational reason can one have for thinking he can arrest the slide next season? He surely has to go.
