Manchester City - Jesus saves, Ederson plays - MCFC - OK!

yeah was quite shocking how quickly psg lost their discipline and turned into a band of petulent teenagers once things weren't going their way. v immature. have to play like we did in the 2nd half all game next week: neymar can and will punish us if given half a chance.

keep the faith!
 
Well then. It's now or never for this expensively assembled squad: that don't seem to have any 'megastar' per se, are well drilled, tactically astute, and run the bollocks off other teams whilst keeping the ball so well.

prob rather we lost in the final than tonight - which we won't anyway cos we are such a better team.

wonder if you lot can look into your hearts and remember that at one time, we were a lot of people's favourite 2nd side.

prob finished with the fanatacism after this campaign. Might buy myself a 70% discounted home shirt but pay more attention to the lower leagues as the super league stuff really was an investment too far. It's been a fucking great 10 years though, since we won the FA Cup in 2011. Just wish my Grandad would have gotten to see it.

City 3 PSG 0 (5-1 agg)

now where's that wine ?

See you in the final :D
 
id rather Madrid than Chelsea, but yeah would be cool to have an all English club final. Plus the loss in the cup and we have to play you again in the league :cool: be intriguing to say the least

Yep some very tight games coming up.

I see the Ladies teams are battling it out for the title too.

your lot in the CL final, with a manager given 8 years to achieve. Very unlike Chelsea of late that.

Used to prefer the Ella version. But Billie H, man. How can someone so hardened by life and tough as nails, be so delicate when singing.
 
Excellent performance, City's defenders were brilliant tonight.

mate of mine described Diaz as a ninja.

tactical masterclass from Guardiola. Yet no good without the will and want of the players. Almost like the Red Army, one missed a block and there's another there to block again. He built the wall :p
 
'We never win at home and we never win away, we lost last week and we lost today, we don't give a fuck 'cos we're all pissed up. MCFC-OK!'
 
yeah very happy with that. ruben dias and fernandinho smashed it in particular, plus great to see kdb, foden and mahrez as opportunistic counter-attackers for a change

erm. The only one that was 'easy' would be 17/18. The rest were bloody hard fought, this one maybe not so much though.
 
Team with the wealthiest owner wins the league again.


Get what you mean however whilst its true that the wealthiest clubs tend to win the league but it's not always the wealthiest club. Funnily enough in the last 6 seasons, 4 different clubs have won it , two of those for the first time and three of them, not the wealthiest club or even second wealthiest.

Strange to feign concern about it anyway when everybody knows that the Premier League breakaway changed everything forever, achieving the intended effect of a top 4 closed shop, and when the wealthiest club won it 13 times in the first 20 years, having won it 7 times in their entire previous history. If anything, City's breakthrough, in destroying the previously existing closed shop, has, like you say, opened things up.

In any case, hasn't the failed (for now) ESL just exposed modern football for what it is? Or are some people still fooling themselves into believing that football is a sport with a business attached rather than the other way round?

It's just replaced one mega-mega rich, foreign owned, elitist club with another, no? They've won it three times out of four now so they're just part of the same closed shop for the super wealthy.

Apart from Leicester's unexpected win, it'll carry on being big business as usual for the super rich clubs.
 
Think Klopp losing his Ma in January had an affect upon his being able to motivate. Though Guardiola also lost his Mum last summer. Pretty sure Pep couldn't attend the funeral also, but may be wrong.

I'm tired of the sectarianism, and I was fucking right pissed-off when people were losing their shit about that Superb Ligue but normally don't give a toss about more important stuff, like, you know, the Tories.

it's all a distraction
