Pretty much fuck all?

 

Still easily won more than those nomark cunts over last 30 years.

Both sets of Mancs have been peddling this myth that we've won fuck all for 30 years.

 

We won the same amount of European Cups as Man Utd and 13 major trophies which is more than Man City have won. They only started being competitive because of oil money. They've been relegated to the 3rd tier of English football in that time.

 

The way both of them go on you'd think we became Ipswich or Nottingham Forest and just spawned a league title after years in the wilderness.

Interestingly one has broken rank...

 

 

Some of our fans have become a set of horrible bastards. Even the scousers didnt turn on their players for winning pretty much fuck all for 30 years.
 
 

 

Fair play to him for talking sense, but he needs to take a look at his definition of "pretty much fuck all".

First 606 City caller says the reason they lost has down to VAR pretty much.

So the same VAR that gave them their penalty and didn't send off Sterling. Right!

Like yesterday, we only won due to Southampton not being given a penalty, completely ignoring Bobby.

I've decided I want them to keep winning now. I want us to win it in one of our games rather than after them losing.

 

If Leicester beat them and we keep winning then we'd win it on 8th March if they lose at United. Better that they keep winning and we do it v Palace or them instead.

6 more wins from 13 games to win the league, assuming City win every game.


City have not won more than three games in a row all season, they will drop a lot more points this season.

 

They have a few tricky games coming up the next rounds.

Classic stuart brennan drivel here:

It was a familiar recent pattern, and after a welter of misery and mishap in three of the last four meetings with Tottenham - with VAR decisions, unspotted handballs, disallowed late winners and  penalty misses coming thick and fast, the Blues won't want to face Jose Mourinho's team again in a long, long time.

The shame is that in a thrill-a-minute game, the shambles which is VAR set the agenda.

It was called into action three times in the first half, and the boos and murmurs of general dissatisfaction echoed around the game, from both sets of fans.

Raheem Sterling faced a few nervous moments when his clumsy challenge on England teammate Dele Alli was reviewed, after Mike Dean had deemed it worthy of a yellow card only.

Sterling had clearly gone for the ball and his follow-through unfortunately caught the Spurs man on the ankle, but the muted reaction of Alli’s teammates told the story – and the video ref agreed that a booking was sufficient.

 

Then Aguero went down in the box, felled by a swipe from Serge Aurier – it looked like a penalty at first glance, but Mr Dean signalled that the defender had got the ball. He clearly hadn’t.

The problem was that City then kept the ball for a couple of minutes delaying the review to the point that everyone not f a City persuasion had forgotten about it.

The review correctly decided that it was a spot kick, but that was not the end of the drama.

Ilkay Gundogan, the only City man with a 100 per cent record from the spot, stepped forward, quite surprisingly, as Aguero has scored all three of his penalties this season.

Maybe the fact that Aguero last missed a spot kick at the same end of the same ground, in last season's Champions League quarter-final, informed the decision.

 

But the Germany international’s spotless record came to an end as his attempt lacked pace and accuracy, and Hugo Lloris dived across to push it away.

In the scramble for the loose ball, Sterling was quickest, and when he tumbled as the keeper desperately stretched an arm for the ball, we had yet another VAR check.

It looked just as much a penalty as the first, but the old unwritten football rules kicked in – a kind of perverse sense of unfairness that a penalty save would go unrewarded – and it was denied.

 

What 'unwritten football rules' kicked in and what's 'unfair' in a penalty being saved?
