Thanks for that, City. If there was justice, Barton would be in fucking prison.Please, don't, I've removed that number from my brain. 91, 92, 94, 95...
And Joey Barton.
City have shat the bed again despite having something like 75% possession and I genuinely do think something is going on behind the scenes, because a team at City's level imploding like this just isn't normal. Not that Villa aren't amazing, mind. Emery has done such a great job.
Sean Dyche is going to get a late Christmas present at this rate.

Dunno, Championship, toughest league to get out of. And that loss of revenue will really hit a club like City.

Ahh, I'm sure there's a hotel in Khalifa City that will sponsor our match ball for £10m a game.Dunno, Championship, toughest league to get out of. And that loss of revenue will really hit a club like City.

I do hate your owners. Clearly. But it's quite something when the Glazers sell part of the club and I end up hating the resultant United ownership even more.

Yeah I think it's hilarious you ended up with those tossers. I got to enjoy the demise of the once great (but very sketchy) Sky cycling team and now they're gonna fuck United right up.I do hate your owners. Clearly. But it's quite something when the Glazers sell part of the club and I end up hating the resultant United ownership even more.
The most interesting thing about the Prem these days is the boardroom and (in our case) courtroom comedy.

As a red, I used to go and watch City at Main Road occasionally. Back in the day when you didn't really know which part of the country the opposition were from. 'Mansfield, where the fuck...'

Blessed is the person who goes their entire life without ever discovering the whereabouts of Gillingham.

I got so bored with us winning consistently I quit watching entirely, came back to watching it just after Ferguson quit, it's rather different.

It is, it is indeed.
I was thinking of starting a poll as to who they should bring in to save them: Big Sam, 'Arry, Dyche, Pulis, or Otto Rehhagel, circa Greece 2004.

Even with my lack of knowledge after some years it didn't take long to work out Moyles was just going FUCK ME I HAVE AN ACTUAL BUDGET and going for insane targets. That went, poorly. Is interesting at times to not just be assumed winners tho, have same playing Football Manager, soon as we have the title and Euro Championship a few years running its like what am I even bothering for? I have people lined up for 10 years worth of football now and us winning, plus money left over and mostly im managing people with bruised egos cos they aren't starting behind the worlds best whatever position. It's dull. So I fired Wayne Rooney and dealt with Plymouth, thats more of a challenge and interest.It is, it is indeed.
Would have helped if we played any remotely interesting football for quite a while tho does look more interesting currently, we will see.

I think pre season City would have thought the squad isn't perfect but its strong enough and they could wait for the end of the season to bring in new players . I think they will move that forward, they could do with replacements/cover at left and right back , central midfield, another forward and possibly another keeper imv. I think the priority will be central midfield, forward and left back in January
24 years and counting, though I'll be honest, after the horror season Sheffield United had last season and the one Saints are having now, I'm not sure I want us to get promoted!Dunno, Championship, toughest league to get out of. And that loss of revenue will really hit a club like City.

Yes, it was one of our best performances this season - especially considering we haven’t been playing that great lately either.

It’s been his break through season. I watch quite a bit of football and he’s got a lot to learn and had a good season so far . Another ex City youth .

Abu Dhabi, I think, but yes.
Actually, while I must admit to a wee bit of schadenfreude, for me it's a fascinated bemusement about the whole thing. Absolutely certain there will have been bigger falls from grace, though I can't think of one. Still, I think they'll get top 4.
