We are out of the top 4 but teams still raise their game against us more than any other side I think. How many teams lie down against City and Liverpool. Not as motivated. Nothing to do with it. They are not raising their game, you’re just nowhere as good. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason you won't retain the title is lack of activity in the transfer market for defensive cover (probably blew your load over the past few seasons and now risk falling foul of FFP / PL spend rules.) Be realistic will you, the table doesn't lie. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah we didn't replace Kompany but nobody would know that Laporte would get an injury that would keep him out for over 5 months. It's freakish. Would Liverpool be so good with Van the Man for that long? We are only this good because we have been injury free all season, that and VAR being used to ensure we win the title has set the pace. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do your “friends” refer to you as RTD? In your defence to support a once great side it must be hard be heartbreaking to see that shower you have now and must eat you alive watching you’re beloved going backwards as the two mentioned play in a different league. Guess thats why having never experienced that kind of success with with my lot I can appreciate what I’m watching without feeling envy and jealousy and show some humility.

Why do you feel your fans are better? How do you gauge that? About our fans...big deal. All of this <deleted> coming from a guy who supports a club which throughout my lifetime has the worst hooligans in English football - ManU classy fans, don't think so. Think you spend too much time coming on here and trying to wind us up. I know it must be hard for you watching the continuing decline of the once might ManU but the Samaritans are out there if you get desperate ???? You're one of those guys on here that reads but doesn't understand what we say, so let me state it again. We would love to win the CL - or any trophy for that matter - but would PREFER to win the PL over the CL for the reasons we have stated repeatedly.

Like all fans of any club, City fans just want to win games and trophies (and have a good time going to the games), if that happens great, if it doesn't happen we continue supporting City. The club's owners / management care about becoming a successful club on the pitch and financially / business wise off the pitch. Have we achieved that during this past 10 years since they took over? Well on the pitch we have been the most successful club in England during the decade. Off the pitch, i just read earlier today that we are 6th on Deloitte's latest list (revenue) and City or Liverpool are forecast to catch-up and overtake ManU next season on the list if you don't get in to Europe. So based on the past 10 years are we are a "big club" to use your phrase? You tell me. Based on progression year-on-year though, we are in a very healthy position mate. How about ManU...tittter? ????

Bredbury Blue Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 (edited) Not good enough today with simple things. Didn't look like winning. Frustrating then we looked like nicking it with a couple of great Aguero goals. But we can't defend can we. Fair result i reckon. What's wrong with Sterling? Been bobbins for weeks.
