I should probably have my feet up in Dubai now, or be living it up in Ibiza with that Wayne Lineker arsewipe, as that seems to be the done thing now that the title is won. The rest of this season doesn’t matter, it seems.
But I’m not, I’m here, writing about a load of dead rubbers because the hardest working man in football doesn’t quit before the season is finished. So, another week where the only thing with anything riding on it is the top five chase.
City were looking like shoe ins for it, but they somehow failed to beat Southampton and that has opened the door for others a little. If anything, this result and performance showed that they’re still miles off what they were, despite their apparent improvement of late. City are still not very good.
They spent a fucking fortune in January and most of them are on the bench as they’re not good enough. The one exception is Marmoush, but he was on the bench too as the cave troll was back from injury.
Remember when everyone was terrified of facing him? They’re not anymore. I wonder if he’ll ever get that back? He’ll probably have to wait until he gets his planned move to Real Madrid for that to happen, as City aren’t going to be scaring anyone for the foreseeable.
Marmoush might actually be too good for them in their present state. I hope for his sake he put a release clause in his contract. He had to wait 85 minutes to get on but still went closest to scoring with a rasping drive that hit the bar. Generally it wasn’t too difficult for Ramsdale and he ended up entertaining himself by saving shots that were going two yards wide. Not the brightest bulb in the box that lad.
Southampton celebrated wildly which is a bit cringeworthy, but I sort of get it. They weren’t celebrating a 0-0 draw so much as they were celebrating avoiding being remembered as the worst top flight team in history. Everyone remembers Derby for that, so Southampton didn’t want to be taking that mantle and a draw with the reigning Champions to avoid making unwanted history is something to celebrate.
They’ve had a miserable season so who are we to begrudge them a moment of celebration? Good for them. And their response to that tit Ruben Dias was glorious.
He’s got form for this kind of thing, so it wasn’t THAT much of a surprise to hear him sounding off about how Southampton chose to play. “They didn’t want to play”. Mate, they had 11 fucking points going into this game, It’s not a matter of “want”. They’re just shite. 83 goals they’ve conceded, so if you can’t score that’s on you, you fucking crying cunt.
Southampton did what 90% of City’s opponents have done over the past decade, there was absolutely nothing unusual about it. The only thing that’s different is that City used to sweep these teams aside with ease, but they’re not that City anymore. That’s what Dias should be concerning himself with, not what Southampton are doing.
Anyway, this is what Southampton’s official media team came up with in response….

They should be allowed to stay up just for that, it’s genuinely outstanding work.
