**** Hoffenheim v Man City **** official match thread

[PeterParker]

And people wonder why City fans hate this competition.

but our owners want to win it pep wants to win it, and lets hope utd get a big fine because they arrived late and get match ko at 8-05

You win this competition behind closed doors, there is no way on winning in on the ground, and it is not just with us. Madrid last year was beyond a travesty what they did, it comes to mind only the game with Juventus.
This competition is bent as fuck, a disease rotten from the core that is sold as the theater of dreams worldwide, with millions and millions involved.

Khaldoon and the Spafia, if they ever want this to be ours, they need to decide, get their fucking hands dirty to get protection or waste their money, nerves and patience in something where football comes second and corruption comes first.

The ref aside, I thought we were very poor tonight - especially in the second half. It looked like one of those angst-ridden CL performances under Manicini where we just froze. Kompany had been playing like a god in the league for weeks, just to turn into a nervous under 14 player come CL Tuesday.

Perhaps an unpopular opinion, but does anyone agree that Walker is a bit of a weak link in this team. I know that we don't really have a left back at the moment and that that issue is more pressing, but I think walker is very shaky defensively - I crap my pants every time he's in a one on one and he also flies into reckless tackles (could have had a red tonight). Still, I don't think he does enough going forward to compensate.

I'm not looking for scapegoats, it's just a discussion I think has got lost among the Mendy/Delph/Gundo talk.

walker's not the best but he's nowhere near as useless as gundogan. look at how much we improved the second bernie came on for that shithouse.

We weren't great or shite, I think we have one eye on Sunday, did what we had to do. I'd rather grind a result here and everything clicks on Sunday, in fact I'd take anything, luck, defelecton and even a dodgy decision going our way against those cheating dippers. I rhought Sane and Merlin were awsome.

To be fair Bernie is one of the best midfielders in europe on current form.

Well said. They should print that somewhere prominent. I haven't let myself be happy at the win yet, I'm still waiting for the ref to disallow Silva's goal.

And PS, don't want to be a cunt because this is about a City player, but we played our best game when Gundogan went out.

PeP got lucky with todays line up.

Kompany should never play in important games...ever.
Laporte was a fuckgin pathetic move from PeP to put him on the left.
Gundogen has photos of PeP doing something he should not be doing...there can be no other reason why he plays him.

[City64]

Fantastic win in the circumstances, merlin sheer class , Aguero hungry as fuck just need ginger kev back in full flow . UEFA and “their” ref exposed bent as fuck at fucking last by BT ....... is this the actual turning point where UEFA can’t stop us ???

I don't know why, I shouldn't, but I'm starting to dislike Kompany as a player not as a person obviously. He was great in his prime, he just doesnt suit our system, his theatrics doesn't compensate for his lethargic passing.

[City64]

Oh and Bernardo what a fucking player !

Forget about it. There is no fooking way UEFA will allow us anywhere near their showcase final. It's not going to happen, they will find a way.

No he didn't get lucky Carl. This was about the worst , biased performance i have seen by a Referee, ever. What is Pep , or the team supposed to do about
such a pratt ?

Given the odd ball decisions, yellow cards ( stopping a throw in ffs) the professionalism, quality and experience of the team showed through.

A great result given the circumstances.

that's what they all said about the Premier League.

Nice to see Zab and Dunnie on BT, but they are being as diplomatic as Vinny was in his interview.

I’d just love someone to come out and call it straight.

That’s our first win ever with this ref.
You can see why. He nearly had a 5-0 there. He really tried his best.

We'd need Buzzer on as a pundit to do that.

[london blue 2]

In fairness that has to be the worst referee in performance I think I've ever seen

[iwasthere2012]

I bet his stats were great.

[PrezIke]

Found out 1-1 at 75min so turned on...whew

Concerning sounding even if pleased with Silva’s work to score.

But we fuckign knew the ref was goign to be bent ffs !! we all fuckign know how the script is with these anti city cunts! what PeP had to do to combat that was to get the fuckign basics right !!! Laporte on the left was stupid , Kompany in was stupid , not playing Bernie was stupid.

Hes fuckign around with the back again!!
