I just don’t want this to be the season they were destined to finish third anyway and the points deduction merely means they finish fourth instead.

 

That said, I would accept this if as well as say 8 points or whatever, the sentence also included Bernardo Silva being publicly flogged.

They'd just inflate the price.

Ben Doak has broken Gvardiol.

 

It was also great seeing De Bruyne and Silva trying to kick off in pure unadulterated petulance as they just don't like it up 'em.

 

The mark of a person is how you react in adversity.  They're just horrible.

As fucking if he's going to stick around for a rebuild or even the slightest whiff of adversity.

Before now he had free rein and reign to do what he wanted and spend what he wanted, just sign 3 players or spend what you wanted.

Even without a guilty finding, there's no way he's going to sit about polishing his head and going to Elton John concerts to find a way to overcome any adversity on a piss pot budget.

He should have won it previously. Phenomenal footballer. Unfortunately. 

Yeah that's true, he was always the first name I'd look for on the team sheet when I was keeping an eye on them during our title challenges, hoping he's picked up a knock or suspension. 

 

Shows how important a good DM is, no coincidence that we were at our best when we had Fabinho bossing things, and no coincidencethat we fell off when his legs did.

Needy cunts aren’t they?

Whoever Sam Wallace is is probably narked he didn't get fireworks as a kid. Normal people would be embarrassed at City soiling themselves there. The equivalent of a Moscow May Day parade but City's Politburo have less bushy eyebrows

Ortega is 32 also. 

Only Rodri (29 next summer and post ACL injury), Lewis, Gvardiol, Foden, Nunes, Bobb, Doku, Savinho, and Haaland are under 30.

They don't spend like they used to prior to the 115 charges. they looked tired and flat today. Gundogan, Silva and Walker were running in treacle when turned over today. De Bruyne was walking. 
Rodri is a big loss but of this seasons squad only Dias, Kovacic, Doku and Bobb were missing today. 

It will require a massive overhaul in the next few years.

Yes, the list only show players who have played in the PL so far this season.

 

This is shocking though, is he afraid of getting a hamstring injury?

I've just read that City's 10 forward players have scored 14 league goals this season.

 

Haaland has 12, De Bruyne has 1, Doku has 1, while Foden, Silva, Savinho, Gundogan, Grealish, Nunes, Bobb have not scored a single goal between them this season. 

Thats a mad stat. Long may it continue.

 

Cunts!

I don't think there is really anything "wrong" with them. If Rodri was there, they would be chugging along.

 

I don't really buy this they're getting older thing either. People are always at pains to say players don't stop being good in their early 30's. In that case, other than Walker and De Bruyne, I don't really see the issue with their squad.

 

This is basically the same situation as 19-20. They have had crucial injuries and it will do them in this season. We'll see medium to long term, but I'm not writing their obituary.

When discussing City’s recent poor form why don’t any of the Sky pundits mention the charges hanging over them? The fucking weird cunts. Quite disrespectful to their audience not addressing the massive elephant in the room.


Cease and desist letters sent to all tv and printed media. They’ll mention it in passing but won’t go into detail about it.

He could just be playing with an injury, it seems to me he's that player. I don't much like him as a player except for his pace, but he's often seemed to risk injury when the manager asks him to. The way werner burnt him off yesterday should get Diaz excited for next week. I know Werner is fast, but he didn't do anything special there, slow walker down and burn him off, he just burnt him.

Gundogan looks past it from what I've seen of him this season. I don't really understand why they bought him back at 34?

Rodri out, De Bruyne perma crocked, and Foden seemingly ineffective this season, has basically neutered their ability to just pen teams in about three centimetres from their goal line. They're also relying on their goals from the mutant who touches the ball about three times a game, and Doku and Savinho who are shit.

Yes it could be, players who start to get hamstring injuries often gets that psychological barrier to climb where they do hold back, I have seen that with many players who had pace as one of their best attributes.

 

But looking at Walkers injury record, I’m not sure it’s that either.

 

But maybe this is not updated, I really don’t know, I have felt he has been out more than this table shows.
