You mean trying to make goal scoring opportunities ,or like the dick head Spuds defenders in their own box? That we didn't capitalize on.

Trying to create something all the time, Kev had a good game today.

I really don’t know how you can say that. He was as shit as the rest. Including sterling. I love Kev but I’m starting to think pep still doesn’t know his best position.

Not sure what’s with De Bruyne at the moment, he’s even been fluffing 5 yard passes. However, it’s not just him, it’s through the whole team and i have wondered for a while if the last couple of seasons have been taking their toll.

Sterling should have come off when we went one down . Pep should have gone with Aguero and Jesus upfront and just 3 at the back , might aswell lose all guns blazing than that timid fuck up of a system we finished with .


Sterling shouldn't have started after his recent performances, especially after Wednesday. He'd miss if the ball was on the goal line at the moment.
Balotelli......that's a brilliant finish.

On a train full of Spuz on the way back to Liverpool St. Nobody bragging. They’re embarrassed over the win.

We are the orange cream in the chocolate box. Soft as shit in the centre. And at the back and up front.

Our strikers need therapy for their fear of shooting. We need a defensive monster in the middle of the back four - a no-nonsense defender, not a fecking playmaker.

Hope Raheem is out for a few weeks. Someone else deserves a chance.

Agreed I also couldn’t believe Sterling started . He is mentally and physically shot should have been nowhere near the starting eleven .

Horrible when you’re having to wish one of your own players injured so they can sit out for a few weeks and give someone else a go. That’s what it’s come to. Thanks Pep.

Took a while but now out and saying it was a good performance and talked to the lads about taking their chances. Says he even warned the players on yellows to watch it in the 2nd half as they can break so fast.

On another note, the anchor on Sky is trying to get Souness to say City are shit but he’s not having any of it. So he goes to the other and asks him to talk about a Maureen masterclass and Souness just laughs at it.

Basically, the ex-managers and Pep are saying that Spurs took their opportunities but City played very well, outclassed them on the day but just didn’t put the ball away.

Shit days happen.

After Norwich away, I said we wouldn't get within 10 points of the title. I got slated. It turns out I was being optimistic.
Gundowank MUST go now. I like Rodri, but maybe he is the problem. Pep must decide on his best attacking 11. Foden has to play more. Maybe when Laporte is back, Ferna goes back to midfield. Please sell that German fuck immediately. He is at the heart of everything we do badly.


I could have told you after The REF and VAR Disallowed the late goal against spuds at home that the season was over. How does that help ?

Kun shoots at goal , the ball rebounds kindly off the post for Spuds, Sterling couldn't get to it.

Two spuds players deflect the ball towards their own goal ( headers ) one straight to the goalies arms the other off the crossbar.
Things aren't going our way,

Spuds second goal , gets a deflection off Fern to just beat Ed. otherwise Ed would have smothered it.

Gündo had a good game today. Ref should have pulled Lloris for being way off the line. But hey that's Mike, "I'm the star here " Referee for you.


Gundo had a good game? Really?
When he plays, especially with Rodri, it instantly gives the oppo a fighting chance. Decide on one or the the other, and get rid of the other. I am still at a loss to see what Gundowank brings to us after all this time.


in your eyes he is doomed before he even puts his boots ,

don't blame him for Mahrez's fcuk ups ,blame Mahrez,

Or for Sterling overrunning the ball ALL the time , blame Sterling.

Chances after chances were created today , is that Gündo's fault they were not converted ?

He stepped up to take the penalty when all our stars dropped a bollock and don't want to take them anymore. The goalie is way off the line - blame Gündo hey ?

Spuds were all over the place defensively in the first half , but hey pick out gündo for not capitalising on it.

Bad day at the office was when we played the Munchens , today was an apocalyptic day at the office.

For the record - I moved on a while back when it became obvious Baldie gave up this season and decided to blind fold himself when he fills in the team sheet for match day.


Today was the equivalent of showing up late to work hungover, spilling coffee on yourself in a client meeting, shitting yourself in the bathroom as you try to clean up the spill, then passing out in your shit right as your boss is walking in

Kev just doesn't look as dynamic as usual and it has to be a fitness issue.

At least Spurs moved to 5th, pushing the Rags down to 7th.

Always a silver lining.

I am sorry to say this but this was typical City. I posted at half time, you know what’s coming next, and it did, fucking clusterfuck performance against the team I can’t stand. Really pissed off, in a week when fucking rags beat us these cunts do, two games without scoring now, the press having a field day brilliant

I wonder what the reason was why Pep took so long. Said he was talking to the staff and his wife but wouldn’t he normally do that?

Could’ve been telling the lads he’s had enough, consoled his staff that they’d no longer be at City and phoned the Mrs to get the flights booked.

Just getting it in before the media do ;-)

Even with the penalty miss, Gundo brings more to the team than Rodri at the moment. I really want Rodri to come good, and he looks solid on the ball, but fuck me is he slow at the moment. Make Javi and Barry look like Sane
