I like their striker-less lineup, but last night was one of those games where they really could have used a good one. And even with Jesus on the bench, Pep doesn't even play him in the middle anymore. If they go through a barren spell where chances aren't being converted, we can step up. 

Hipster.

A blonde espresso cappuchino with 3 pumps toffee nut, 2 pumps caramel, 1 pump white mocha, semi dry, steamed to 175, triple shot, half decaf, caramel drizzle and cinnamon solve please. 

 

Probably.

But Sheik Mansour built a few community centres in East Manchester. This means he's a good bloke with noble intentions.

Nothing dodgy here

Our reduced allocation at City is only 175 tickets / 5%.
 

A complete nonsense. What’s 175 tickets going achieve? Some more segregation mesh? I’ve been to the Emptyhad numerous times and it’s their inbred fans chucking coins and being cunts.
 

What does a 175 reduction actually achieve? 
 

Still, it’s the principle of the reduction. I hope we follow suit next season and reduce their allocation.

It just beyond comprehension that anyone could post that.

 

I posted elsewhere that BBC Sport reported that Forest would have 97 empty seats in the stadium today as a tribute to those who had died at Hillsbrough. nearly 60 people had voted the report down and fuck knows how many more have in the meantime.

 

And I just noticed 149 cunts like that post.

I wouldn't even think 'karma' in a situation like this, because you couldn't wish that anyone (or their families) would have to suffer anything remotely comparable with that horrific event. One can only hope, that the minds that would contemplate a comment like that (or click to 'Like' it) are young and not fully formed yet and therefore do not have their moral compass developed. Perhaps at a later date, when self reflecting, they endure a pang of shame that remains a consistent and regular companion in their life.

Apologies if this is reported elsewhere. NAC Breda fans object to city making their club the 11th in the 'city group.' FIFA and UEFA really should put a stop to this bollocks yet they stand idlly by and let it happen.

 

Fans of Dutch side NAC Breda have hung a banner outside the Etihad stadium in protest at a prospective buy-out of the club by the “dubious” owners of Manchester City.

 

The City Football Group, the parent company of the Premier League champions, have agreed a deal in principle for Breda to become the 11th team in their international network of clubs.

 

But a group of Breda supporters are pushing to block the takeover amid anger over the human rights record of the United Arab Emirates, whose deputy prime minister is CFG and City owner Sheikh Mansour, also a member of the Abu Dhabi royal family.

 

Mansour and fellow UAE leaders were recently condemned by British government ministers and the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office for welcoming Syria president and Vladimir Putin ally Bashar al-Assad to their country. 

 

Breda fans travelled to Manchester at the weekend to protest against CFG’s takeover plans and hung a banner outside the main entrance of the Etihad Stadium, home of Premier League champions City, that read: “Stay out of our territory, NAC is not a City Group story”.

They also hung similar banners outside the stadiums of French side Troyes and Belgium team Lommel, two other CFG owned clubs.

Breda fans shared pictures of the banners on Facebook and explained the motives behind their actions. “City group is trying to take over the football world from Manchester City,” they said. “Funded by a petrodollar Sheikh from a country with dubious views on human rights. Troyes and Lommel have already fallen, but they will never get us. Today we went to the stadiums of Manchester, Troyes and Lommel to make it clear that Breda will not be incorporated. We will continue to fight.”

 

Manchester City signed a five-year partnership agreement with Breda in 2016 that allowed the Dutch side to take City players on loan and the two clubs to share knowledge on scouting. That relationship is now set to be taken a step further with Breda in line to join the CFG stable. According to a statement from Breda last week, the deal is still subject to approval by the club’s supervisory board, NOAD Foundation, the Dutch FA and the municipality of Breda. It remains to be seen if the protests by Breda fans have any impact on the situation.

 

Former City defender Angelino, who spent the 2017-18 season on loan at NAC Breda from the English champions and currently plays for RB Leipzig, gave his support to the takeover when he tweeted: “Great news. Good luck everyone - CFG ownership will be a brilliant future for NAC Breda!”, a tweet that drew an angry reaction from some Breda fans. 

 

In addition to Manchester City, Troyes and Lommel, CFG also own or have stakes in New York City FC, Melbourne City FC, Girona in Spain, Uruguayan club Montevideo City Torque, Indian outfit Mumbai City, Chinese club Sichuan Jiuniu and Japan’s Yokohama F Marinos.

Breda are currently ninth in the Dutch second tier, 32 points behind leader Emmen, and last won a major trophy in 1973.

 

CFG have declined to comment although it is understood they were braced for some opposition and, while they respect those views, there is a feeling at the group that it is a minority position held by more hardline supporters and that there is considerable support among other fans for the proposed takeover.

I'd be so pissed if Liverpool players were going public with stuff like this about them only days before two massive games against them. 

[JagSquared]

Didn’t Bernardo Silva also have a pop recently? they sound rattled. 
 

I’m not really looking beyond the next game, just do what we have to do and we’ll be fine. it’s certainly not worth looking at City other than checking on their results. 

[Em City]

They can't help talking about us. They're rattled.

[Reckoner]

‘I’m not scared of Liverpool, we’re better than Liverpool anyway, I don’t even think think about Liverpool, who? Liverpool mean nothing to me, they’re dead to me, stupid sexy Liverpool’ 

[manwiththestick]

It seems they don't care or talk about Liverpool in exactly the same way as Everton don't care or talk about Liverpool.

 

Which is nice.

[No2]

In fairness to him the interview doesn't read like he's panicking about Liverpool or even thinking about us. What it does do is show us the beautiful sadness that surrounds them. The whole article is yet more cries for appreciation, desperate pleas to be loved or even recognised, a soulless club that no one gives a fuck about.

I thought they look rattled against Palace and this only confirms it , the pressure of us breathing down there neck is getting to them

Peps head might pop if he looks at the table tomorrow and see's us top considering the table a few months back ..... One thing he can't handle is pressure and it's only ever really been us who have consistently gone toe to toe with any of his sides
