I don't think City are mentally strong enough to win it, once they come up against a bit of adversity they'll go to bits, just wait til one of the European Big boys like Madrid, Barca or us get hold of them. 

 

I asked a city fan about his thoughts and he said he'd rather win the prem every time, he's still bitter about uefa punishing them for breaking the FFP rules, he's probably one of the fans that boos at the beginning of European matches. 

 

 

I don’t buy that bollocks. Manchester City as a club, the owners, etc. may be desperate to win the Champions League, but Man City fans have no real affinity with it. It’s still relatively new to them. They won the league in 1968, then fell at the first hurdle in the European Cup in 1968-69, then weren’t in it again for 40 odd years.

Fiorentina are pounding Roma 6-1.

[Harry Squatter]

Just watching that game. Roma defending is abysmal. I hope if we both get through our last 16 ties we get paired with them again.

[3 Stacks]

Chiesa's a stud.

[Harry Squatter]

7-1 now

They won't be classed as a great side until they win it. With the squad and the money they have they should be winning the league every single season. The champions league would make them firmly one of the top sides in Europe. People still don't talk about them in the same breath as Real Madrid, Barca, Us, Utd, Bayern.... If I was a City fan I'd certainly prefer the UCL.

I agree, though I had to neg for “UCL”. Sounds turd.

What are you agreeing with? You just disagreed with me bout it you mad cunt?

 

Don't worry about the neg mate. I thought the same myself.

I agree that they won’t be regarded as a truly great team until they win the Champions League.

Sorry but it does. A midfielder with the ball should NEVER, under ANY circumstances be in possession of the ball with no defenders behind him. I even think a defender with the ball should also never be last man in possession of the ball but I'm no football coach. But a midfielder? That's footballing insanity and Steven was played as defensive midfielder when really he was anything but that. Not his fault, not his fault he slipped but defenders should have been able to cover that.

 

Can you imagine Klopp allowing Henderson to be the last man with the ball? His coaching simply would not allow that to happen, I am sure.

 

I just saw Matip play it square to Gini who was the last man, Virgil was still up the pitch after making a small run. 

 

About 20ish mins in if anyone can be arsed Checking.

Yes I saw that, I'm sure Gini gave a signal to one of the defenders though almost like a get back after he came forward with the ball. He was the last man and I don't think he wanted to be in those conditions.

Thanks for coming to England Mr. Higuain. 

Can I stamp your parking pass?

[suzy]

Gobsmacked Chelsea got beat 4-0 by Bournemouth!

[Hades]

Only 7 points ahead of Spurs. Could a be a three-way race.

[Jairzinho]

It isn't. They're shit.

[Bjornebye]

Sarri wont last the season. 

[Ronnie Whelan]

Word is that Ederson could be out for a period. Not sure for how long. Fingers crossed the rest of the season.

[3 Stacks]

Chelsea have such a toxic squad. Just full of cunts who all collectively stop trying at a moment's notice. 

[Em City]

You were tipping them for a title challenge earlier in the season, Stacksy.

[Grinch]

They need to stick with a manager.    That team must have been built by about six different managers. 

[s(k)aturation]

He'll be fired.  Nothing surer.

 

And I fear City will swat/twat Arsenal and Chelsea.

[Red House]

That last Barcelona goal today has got to be one of the best team goals ever scored.

It's a rollercoaster. People called them shite after the Community Shield. I thought with time they'd be quite good as Sarri only got there in mid July and that prediction looked quite good in November. Many people thought they'd be up there near the end at that point. They've fallen apart now though. Should've known their snaky squad would quit on him.

Yeah, they'll hammer Arsenal on Sunday. It'll be about 6-2. Arsenal's defence is terrible. 

 

Chelsea - depends on which Chelsea turns up. Fingers crossed it's the same one that beat Man City the other month. 

[Anubis]

Did Higgy play for Chelsea last night?
