Noisy Neighbours - the Man City thread

Scott Carson; the final piece in the jigsaw.

European domination awaits....

Pretty average performance against a poor West Ham team.

One game against a Top 6 team in the first three months of the season, gives you a decent shot a good start.

Yep, we were nowhere near our best yet still ran out rather comfortable 5-0 winners against a team that will probably finish top 10 with ease.

Bodes well doesn't it

This made me lollll very hard.   As much as i hate saying it MC are going to win this league literally by half the track.   1/2 is stealing money.   WH will comfortably top half this season.   Much more lol how a manure fan says this after winning 4-0 today a game they should have probably drawn at best on the stats.

hfffylrpqxx understands this is banter.

You maybe don’t.

I agree with most of what you’ve said, although I’m less sure of WHU being top half.

By the way, goals decide games, not stats 😂

I don't get manure banter because 99% of manure fans have never been to Old Trafford.  I have been surrounded by their plastics all afternoon watching the game.   Has been very funny how they don't realise they are literally inches from being 2-0 down and the 'ole out' chants would have already been started up.  Plus a dodgy pen and a deflection.  Can't be many 4-0's in EPL history with these basic stats.  All good moving forward punting wise though.   Long may the goals count more than the stats.

Does Maguire get the MOTM if the post doesn't get rattled twice and the two shots go two inches further inside the post?   Wouldn't have changed his performance remotely if they had.  Then you have to listen to the PC 'bookies ads are banned during the match because punters lose too much gambling'.    Poor little lambs.   Try being less results orientated punters/pundits/fans and swim against the '#goalsdecidegames' tide and make the game pay.  Stoke used to have stats like that under TP.

FYP

Time to start supporting someone else I think.



15 league wins on the bounce now and just 4 goals conceded in that sequence.

Great test coming up at the weekend with the game against Spurs.

Part FYP think you missed a bit.   Keep up son.   I know the salford reds have let their standards slip but doesn't have to apply to you as well.

Thanks for pointing that out 😁

My City supporting friend (yes, I have a friend) messaged me after yesterday’s game to say that he now believes football is corrupt and that the VAR decisions in yesterday’s game and the CL semi-final were evidence of this.

Is this a widely held belief amongst City fans?

What took him so long?

Game is bent as fuck and has been for years, and VAR is horseshit.

But other than that it's all gravy

Of course it is corrupt.

Last year in the Champions League L16 away at Schalke - we went 1-0 down following a penalty award against Otamendi when he had literally moved his arm out of the way to a straight line and touching his body. All BT pundits said no penalty and that was after allowing for the differing UEFA hardline approach to handballs. The ref awarded the penalty on the instruction of VAR but couldn't review it because the pitchside TV had broken. Corrupt.

QF against Spurs last year.  Llorente handball for a similar offence to Laporte's yesterday. Ref looked at the pitchside TV but VAR didn't show the images that proved the ball had hit his hand before. Goal allowed. Corrupt.

Yesterday, VAR only shows 1 angle of the incident. Different supporters footage from the opposite side clearly  shows the ball hits Laporte's shoulder and falls away without touching his arm/hand. Goal disallowed. Corrupt.


Is it just a coincidence that those 3 have all had technical failings? I doubt it.

Post of the year contender.

Especially as you're usually the sensible one.

No question we were comically lucky yesterday. Surprised you created so little in the last 15 minutes, given how beguilingly dominant you were in the first 75. Would have been a joy to watch, had it not been against my team.
