Manchester City

[mrbojangles]

Common sense would dictate that discredited football authorities would lie low for the time being, not take on their bread and butter over trivia. Pure Thai militaria style.

Easily redeemable if they do nothing ... in which event City fans should drop their juvenile behaviour.

So you think booing is juvenile behaviour. Every club on the planet boo and in the main, it is for trial matters. But do you know the full story behind this Santi?

Putting the fine for FFP aside, City got fined for coming out late in the second half against Porto. However, that fine was more than Porto got for their fans' racist chanting at Mario Balotelli and Yaya Toure.

There was also the ‘behind closed doors’ match against CSK Moscow, where City fans who hadn't done anything wrong and had already booked flights, hotels etc were locked out but hundreds of CSK fans were let in.

Booing during the Champs League anthem is the only way of demonstrating and getting a decent impact against these dictatorial plebbs who run UEFA. Bearing in mind it is their senior figures who are under investigation for corruption. Sorry Santi, it is fans who own football, not crooks in suits. It is fans who put their money into the game and have a right to have their voices heard. These suits have stolen our game, reward each other with big fees and then try to silence everyone with a hand like Saddam.

Rather than dropping the booing, I hope it gathers pace across fans of every club who then boo during the anthem. Can't see it but it would be good to see.

Sun Jihai a footballing great. Inducted into the Hall of Fame.

Its actually ridiculous!!!

Just shows when politics overlaps with football it becomes a p!ss take.

And its an insult to football fans.

Totally agree jack. Sun might have done something special for football in the Chinese point of view but no way was he good enough for the Hall of Fame at City.

Totally agree Mr BJ.....The fans are PAYING customers, unlike the UEFA spongers.....and of course they are entitled to show displeasure at the crass decisions made by the freeloading fat-cats/bureaucrats. I too hope more fans join in

The straw that broke the City fans back was the Moscow incident. After City fans had booked and paid for their trip, EUFA punishes moscow by making the game behind closed doors - wasn't that punishing City for something they weren't involved in. There was no EUFA apology as expected to the City fans. To make it worse, City fans travel, some book an overlooking building room so they can watch from afar ss Bayern fans had done, but the City fans were prevented from doing this. Even worse around 400 moscow fans got in to the ground to watch the game and support their team, this was seen by the EUFA official, nothing happened to moscow. Unfair on City fans. Of course City fans bear a grudge against EUFA.

It is hoped Citys lawyer raises all of the fans gripes at the hearing.

I don't think we should waste a single brass farthing on turning up with lawyers BB. We should not recognise the charge and should there be a fine imposed, challenge them in a proper court of law, not a trumped up bunch of muppets who know nought about football or it's passion.

[champers]

City's owners; and others in the Gulf; put a lot of money into football by way of sponsorship & advertising. The likelihood of a well-funded breakaway league comprising of Europe's elite draws closer. Talk about biting the hand that feeds you. Whatever else UEFA are you can now add "stupid" to the list.

Is that for real BB? LvG really compared us being without Aguero and to Silva to United not having Luke Shaw and Paddy McNair

I hate derby games! I'm always so nervous. Always pessimistic. Be glad when it's over.

You and me both. Particularly when we have both Aguero and Silva out

[Bredbury Blue]

Otamendi over Mangala I think is the only surprise other than that Pelle has gone with the team we were all suggesting earlier in the week. Aguero, Silva and Nasri injured equals not much on the bench.

[SantiSuk]

At least it keeps you awake BB. Bit of a snoozefest for the neutral so far!

[Bredbury Blue]

Andy Townsend reckons City shaded; did we?

City look nervy to me, ManU also?

KdB is wearing Navas' banana boots today; done little right. Sterling doesn't like it up him does he. Happy with Bony's performance, he's doing well. Dinho is everywhere. Kompany looking good apart from his senseless booking.

Why haven't KdB and Sterling swapped sides?

ManU with too much possession for my liking.

First side to blink.

[Bredbury Blue]

A snooze fest for us all. Haven't seen the goalies yet.

[Bredbury Blue]

Get KdB off. Doesn't fancy it

[Bredbury Blue]

They way we've played since the break has been terrible...just waiting to go one down.

Navas for Sterling...good move.

We are struggling!

[Bredbury Blue]

City's bench equals 3 defenders and 2 young forwards. We are really struggling but Pelle has very few options here but to weather the storm..no midfielders (Demichelis). We just can't keep the ball.

[Chicog]

Suits me.

[Bredbury Blue]

Happy with that, very happy with that. We weren't good but apart from the crossbar incident, we showed that even City can defend well when we need to.

[Bredbury Blue]

2nd half, when ManU were dominate, they didn't go for it when they should have. We were on the ropes a little but they were easily contained.

WHU or Leicester for the title? ;-)

[JacknDanny]

Get KdB off. Doesn't fancy it

At least he tried!!

His passing was off today... trying too many Hollywood balls.

But for me Toure and Bony were a disgrace, particularly Bony. Both wearing concrete boots, and Bony must now be the laziest player I have ever seen. Dont believe he won a single aerial duel either.

Conclusions to me are that Toure is now absolutely incapable of playing 2 games in a week.

Bony aint upto it.

Terrible game to watch and a terrible advert for English football.

[jellydog]

Arguably the worst game I've ever seen though not unhappy with one point.

Watching that was like watching two eunuchs try to f==k each other.

[Bredbury Blue]

Hart, the back 4 (Kolorov so so) and the 2 brazilians got us through that. The front 4 in the 2nd half were poor. Think Otamendi and Kompany enjoyed that and were excellent.

[Chicog]

In fairness to Bony it's not like he had sterling service is it?

Did you solve your CTH problem or go down the pub?

[vogie]

Just watched the M Utd v Man City, how long has Dave Allen been manager of M City?

[Bredbury Blue]

OPTA - Man Utd failed to muster a single shot in the 1st half of a PL game for the first time since 03/04 (including blocked). Meek.
