Breaking news ... Manchester-born youth player spotted playing for City 1st team.

Little Bernardo is really sharp these days. Good to see.

Darn annoying, but Viera's gameplan worked to perfection.

What you guys think about Viera at the Nigels? I think they will finish comfortably mid table 

Isn't a shame that the manager of the English champions can't talk without using profanities. Disgrace.

Is swearing seen as a right wing thing? Never knew that. I would have thought the opposite lol.

 

You are way off the mark. Nothing to do with cancel culture. This comes down to the way you carry yourself as manager of the English champions.

No. I'm talking about all this current "fashion" of being offended by everything and anyone and in many cases, being offended on behalf of someone else who isn't even offended.

There's a difference between heat of the moment swearing on the touchline, and in a press conference when you have time to give a calm and considered response.

 

I'm not offended, I just believe there is a certain standard that is attached to being champions of this country, and you have fallen below that. It's a bit like filling your ground on a regular basis (or not).

No Ricky. What it is, is that you want one rule for your manager and another rule for everyone else. Pep said the "P" word (another name for taking a wee) which is a mild swear word but in your words "it's disgraceful" whereas Ole said the "F" word but that's OK. Bullsh## I say ????

If you think it is a standard 'attached to being Champions of this country' at least 'your lot' will not fall into that category!    LOL

During our time as champions we represented this country, and the sport as a whole, impeccably. 

 

We single-handedly made the Premier League what it is today. Brought through a load of English youngsters who became icons. And generally flew the flag for English football as it came out of the dark days of the European ban etc. 

Yow!!

You could play again tomorrow. Never got out of 3rd gear. Without De Gea it would have been another humiliation rather than just embarrassing. 
 

A stroll in the park and still managed to rest players. 

You couldn't have played us at a better time. It was the equivalent of walking up to a guy lying on the floor unconscious and kicking him in the head....

 

Unforunately I think the board had already given a pass to Ole for this game come what may. Can't see any realistic candidates for replacing him, yet can't see how he can turn it around.

 

Going to be a long season.

 

Edit...I see the formatting went weird again, but promise I did write this myself Kadilo!

What are you on about. You were all up after beating Spurs wondering how City would cope with two of the greatest forwards the game has seen. (Or something similar). 

As most of us thought, including ex Man U players, it was more papering over the cracks. 
 

I am sure any of us would love to see Ole given to the end of the season. 

Going by the empty seats and the boos from those left at the end, sadly he will be replaced before that. 
 

As you say, the choices are not many, although I did hear Warnock was sacked today.

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away, now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday.

That second half was the most humiliating, resting players on the park like Klopp last week. Pep "Just pass it about lads, save your energy for Everton in 2 weeks" "<deleted> beautiful boys"

He did try diving for a pen yesterday but even that ref wasn't going to buy it this time as he was still in his own half

The histrionics from that lad were embarrassing.

Same with Ronaldo. The one time he did touch the ball he got it stole off him. So he dived on the floor rolling in agony until he realised the ref wasn't having it. So he leapt to his feet and chased after the ref.

Such a great time to be alive watching this lot, I can't wait for their next match ????

T'was fun yesterday. We just wouldn't let them have the ball. They basically gave up in the second half. We were so comfortable Pep didn't want to spoil the rhythm by bringing a sub on. Ronaldo has been getting them out of the doo da lately. Don't let him near the ball and they are clueless, especially as he won't chase after it.
