Man City - the new bitters?

[Vincent Vega]

Even if Haaland is missing, that Alvarez would probably score against us anyway. 
 

Not looking forward to that match, our recent record at their place is awful. I might go and watch Napoleon in the cinema instead of putting myself through that.

That’s Klopps team talk sorted.

It’s unlikely Georgia win in Spain, so Norway will qualify for the play off’s regardless of their result v Scotland, it’d be funny as fuck if they did.

Can someone tell me how to embed tweets? 

 

Anyway according to this guy they're out full stop. No wonder the cavetroll has pulled a sickie.

Embedding works on my new android phone but doesn’t work on my old iPad. No idea why?

I know that's what I though too. I don't understand where Romano is coming from.

As bad as their record at Anfield. 
 

I was actually thinking about our record there with Klopp the other day…

 

15/16 - Won 4-1.

16/17 - Drew 1-1.

17/18 - Lost 5-0 (although we were down to 10 men after 35 mins, at a point we were well in the game) and won 2-1 in the CL.

18/19 - Lost 2-1 by the finest of margins.

19/20 - Lost 4/5-0. I genuinely can’t remember. We’d won the league by then anyway.

20/21 - Drew 1-1.

21/22 - Drew 2-2, maybe somewhat fortunate that day.

22/23 - Lost 4-1 after taking the lead and were lucky they stopped at 4. 
 

I can’t lie, I’m a bit nervous about Saturday as well, however, when there has been some significant on the line, we’ve generally performed well, albeit not got a win. 
 

Like the Washington Generals v the Harlem Globetrotters, we’re due a win. 

[Scott_M]

I hope Tsmiskas scores on Saturday and then runs over to shake Pep’s hand.

The only time I’ve been to that ground was for the 4-1. That was lovely. Phil and Bobby tore them a new arsehole that day. I didn’t realise that was our only win there under Klopp. I don’t hold out much hope for this weekend tbh. 

[Creator Supreme]

They'll beat us 15-1. That fucking carpathian will score all 15 for them, and ours will be a spawny og in the last 20 seconds!

[an tha]

I dare say the useless gets who officiate the game will make the headlines and talking points again through their shiteness/bias.

Not all 3rd place get play offs. There's 10 groups, the top 2 go through. Germany are the hosts, which makes 21 of 24 teams. The final 3 places to to play offs between the 6 3rd placed teams that has something to do with the nation's league. I've no idea how that works or Norway's standing, but I'm guessing that's the issue..

Journalist Nick Harris, who has been on City’s case for ages, has shared this post from Blue Moon about him. Some pretty grim twats in their fan base.

Honestly, would you be surprised if they've not considered it? The only thing that would stop them imo is he's not the only journalist on their case and it'd achieve nothing.

Can you guess where the ref, for this game, is from?

C'mon man, the distance between Manchester City Centre and Ashton under Lyne is a whopping 8 miles. They're nowhere near each other....

As Tony Green used to say on the classic game show:

 

"IT'S A BULLSEYE!!!"

[Barrington Womble]

Are there any referees from anywhere but greater Manchester? 

 

I've mostly been alright with kavanagh to be honest. And he's one of the few who seems capable and fit enough to keep up with play.

Based on what I've heard about the people in their press office, I'd be amazed it if hadn't been discussed.

Is it true his brother is a city season ticket holder. If it is true whether he's good or not he should not be officiating ours or citys games.

On the flip side, if he does not support the same team as his brother, is there a better feeling than fucking up your brothers weekend when it comes to anything football related?

So rather than boring old sentiments like ‘neutrality’ or ‘professionalism’, the Premier League relies on things like ‘hoping the referee doesn’t get on too well with his brother.’ Sound.
