Our 1st trophy was actually the Manchester Cup - 1886 ????

Funny how even you're own official website doesn't list that one ????

Desperate times call for desperate measures. Listing a Manchester Cup as a major honour is truly a new United low ????

Not desperate, but you stated that City won their 1st major honour before United won "Anything", did you not ???

 

As you can now see, your earlier statement was in fact, incorrect & you have somehow been misguided.

 

Ps: Back in the day (late 18th Century) The Manchester Cup was a Major honour - It was "Massive" ????

Nobody is denying the importance of City having the same investment clout as United have had for years and years. Don't forget, unless I'm mistaken that you have spent more than us over the last 5 years. But nah mate, the case is not closed at all. You would like it to be but it isn't. Is it all very unfair now that other clubs can spend as much as you have been doing. Wait for Newcastle to knock you down another place as well

We obviously don't know each other fella, and it's definitely nothing personal -  But anyone who reads this thread, can CLEARLY see (Having read your previous posts) that that was a very very poor response to my earlier post.

 

Its ok mate, i accept your apology that you spoke utter <deleted> in your previous assumptions & that you have now accepted the FACT, that you were completely deluded & completely WRONG.

 

Sometimes in life, we just have to put our hands up & say, "Hey, i was wrong" - No big deal.

 

Anyway, keep on winning your games & pip the Dippers to the title - I'll buy you a beer if you win the league ????

 

Ps: Last nights match ??? The Blue seats were clearly in abundance - For ALL to see ????

 

Parting song ......

 

"The City is yours? "

"The City is yours? "

 

"20,000 E.MPTY SEATS"

"Are you F kIn sure" ? ????????????

 

All the best brother ????

You can waffle on all you like but you are really desperate to try and include a local trophy that even your own official website doesn't list. I am therefore going to be even more of a pedant than you are being and show that Man City even won that before "Man United" did. I didn't state Newton Heath, I said Man United. I will accept your apology once in print ????

 

With all Due Respect -  You are one sad individual - What a fanny you are.

Tis thee who started with the pedantry and saying City had no history. Now you've been proved wrong you don't like it. You haven't let your side down, you are a true RAG ????

Nice early goal scuppered any chances Roy had of just going 11 behind the ball. After that it was pretty much a stroll in the park. Nice 4 goals from Jesus and good to see Dias back for the first time. We'll need him on Tuesday.

Man City respond after being offered Paul Pogba as Man Utd ace seeks summer move

 

City have been linked with a surprise move for Pogba in recent weeks as the Premier League champions weigh up their options in the market to strengthen their ranks in advance of next season. However, those in command at the Etihad Stadium have already passed up the opportunity to bring Pogba to the blue side of Manchester without having to pay a transfer fee, according to the Daily Star.

 

It is claimed that Pep Guardiola has told Pogba's agent, Mino Raiola, that he will not be pursuing a move for the Frenchman's signature between now and the start of the new campaign. The City boss previously rejected the chance to sign Pogba four years ago and does not appear to have changed his mind over the last few seasons, with the United man having struggled to impress at club level on a consistent basis.

I don't think he'd be too bad at City.

 

I heard someone say Pogba makes good teams better, but isn't the guy to turn things around at poor teams. That sounds about right.

Well done for handing out a few flags though. 

Madrid did very well to weather the storm and stay in this. 

 

Got off the roller coaster up 4-3. Blimey.

We need some of the defenders back ASAP. Getting Dias back is a bonus (albeit rusty) but now having Stones, Ake and Walker all out at the same time at such a pivotal time in the season is worrying

I guess Cancelo will be back for the rematch. I don't know about Walker. They are both needed. That speedy Vinicius <deleted> was a handful.

Especially as Fernandinho had to play in that position when Stones went off. He has played loads of positions but I can't remember the last time he covered off right back

I didn't really give Real a chance, but after that result it is not going to be easy at all in Madrid. 

 

And Leeds will be up for a scrape on Saturday night before it.
