LMAO Barnes claps in the refs face and nothing and Mata gets booked for dissent after Moss gives a foul for nothing.

At least they finally got a booking for time wasting.

 

City is going to lose to fucking Newcastle.

 

City failing the while sporting world.

 

Spurs win tomorrow and are within 2 of City for second place.

Also, VVD might be out for Liverpool. Maybe we see an upset there too. Leicester won’t be a pushover.

 

City shot themselves in the foot twice the second half. What a terrible loss.

 

I’d rather Liverpool win the title instead of City even though their fans are awful. I like watching them play.

 

didn't see the united game but read he conceded possession 14 times and failed to recover the ball once in 63 minutes

 

can't agree here, Liverpool's fans are too insufferable/deluded. moot point anyway as barring a monumental collapse seems Pool will walk it

 

Fuck off city you useless bastards

He was horrendous. Worst player on the pitch.

 

He’s one of the five most exciting players in MLS to watch. Every time he plays he looks like he’s having the time of his life.

Would not surprise me in the least to see him eventually in a huge club.

 

Yikes

 

lol

 

Is this official now or only based on the fact that he wasn't in the squad today?

 

I'm not sure that stat is fair on Andreas yesterday. I agree he had a very poor game, but there were glimpses of hope in his passing once he got a bit of confidence up. This is a young lad, hasn't started a game in a while, and definitely not one where the rest of the team is the first team. He's playing a new position. He'll come good I reckon.

 

Baffling times at Newcastle. We beat City (failed to do that in 22 league games) and announce we've signed a player, breaking a transfer record still held by Michael Owen. Hope he turns out OK, but I'm not holding my breath. It's a big switch to move to a much harder league, to a team scrapping at the bottom end of it too.

Also, this still shows up the whole Ashley system. We've taken since December to get this deal done. If we were eventually going to cough up quite a bit more than we originally offered, we should have just got on with it. He could have been here, training and settling in for a month (ish) by now.

Rumours are we have a second player on his way too, but no clue who. Fingers crossed we can now cruise to safety and stay out of the relegation scrap for the rest of the season.

 

This, definitely. My preference is Tottenham then Liverpool then Man City. I kind of like that no team has retained the title since United in 2008/09. I also absolutely detest all the financial shit (honestly the only word for it) that's come out about City over the last few years and I personally find it hard that anyone would want them to retain their title (outside of their own fans, of course).

 

He's 23. Not exactly a child. I want to like him so so much I wanted him to make it here and become a big part of our team.

But he's been shite. All season.

 

Well I don’t think there’s any hope for Tottenham tbh. I mean, at best we are 6 points back after today with a lot of tough games ahead. But maybe Liverpool collapse. That’s our only hope.

 

You've got to keep dreaming. I don't think they can win but I'd prefer them to the two alternatives.

 

Anyone but Liverpool

 

I'd obviously love a Tottenham miracle but with all the injuries I just don't see it happening

 

Son returns today which is huge.

And there was update on Kane saying he’s recovering way faster than expected.

 

Don't get my hopes up Swoos I can't handle another heartbreak

 

Georges-Kevin N’Koudou to Monaco.

Vincent Janssen to Real Betis.

I honestly can't believe Janssen is only 24 haha

 

Sweet dreams, Thicc Vin

I still kinda can’t believe I saw you score in person


Also Kane always comes back fast but he’s usually not very good for a while when he does
