Wins for Arsenal and Villa combined with us drawing with the worst United side I’ve ever seen made for a pretty shitty Sunday, but at least Saturday was fun.
When do City ever blow a 2-0 lead to anybody, let alone a struggling team at the Etihad? Never happens and it’s hard to believe it actually did. But it did, and it was glorious. Hodgson casually stood there looking at a melting down Guardiola and laughing is the image of the season so far. Well, since Darwin went after him the other week anyway. So funny.
I don’t really understand what’s going on with City as I can’t ever remember this happening before. They’ve dropped points, and Palace have actually gone there and won previously, but them blowing a 2-0 lead at home (or anywhere) feels like something that hasn’t happened before. It probably has, I just can’t remember it.
It was all going as you’d expect it to as goals from Grealish and Lewis put them in complete control. Palace had barely left their own half at this point.
In between Ederson probably should have been sent off. I’ve seen loads saying he definitely should be sent off but it’s not quite an open and shut case for me. Mateta is going very wide and there is a defender between him and the goal. You could easily give a red card though as having a crack at a goal that has no keeper in it is certainly what you’d call a goalscoring opportunity. I’m just saying that I can see why Manchester’s own Paul Tierney didn’t send off Manchester City’s goalkeeper in a stadium full of Mancunians.
Mateta slid in to convert a Schlupp cross to make things interesting, and then in the 93rd minute Palace were awarded a penalty when Foden booted Mateta. Not even Tierney could ignore that one. Olise coolly rolled in the spot kick to give Palace an unlikely draw.
The City fans booed their team off at full time, the ungrateful spoilt cunts. They won a treble last season and they’ve won three titles in a row. They hit the first sticky period they’ve had in years and their home crowd are booing them off.
We already knew that their fans are shit and might be the worst in the league, but I’d say this probably confirmed it. Is there ANY other set of fans who would be booing their team off given everything they’ve won? Honestly I don’t think there is, but they know everything they’ve won isn’t legit so it just doesn’t mean as much. City fans get more out of other teams not winning trophies than they do about their own team actually winning them. Wankers.
Passive aggressive Pep was in full on weirdo mode again afterwards. Absolute wrong ‘un he is.
