The FA and the tv companies have made a real mess of the FA cup. The Arsenal v Reading semifinal kicks off ten minutes before our home game against Man United.

Seriously? f**k me, they wonder why no one wants to watch the FA Cup anymore. They need to just go back to the old school ways.

Jesus, this Manchester United fans are bitters. Didn't they said the same about us? That we'll disappear when Roman loses interest in us yada. yada now they're doing same with City.

 

Well they should simply concentrate on their own team rather than thinking about other teams imo. If they miss out on top 4 again this season, they'll be fked which could realistically happen. No top drawer player would want to join a team who haven't been in CL in 2 years and is declining. Plus they'll spend sh*t loads again on leftovers who they don't need actually.

 

And by chance if they again missed the top 4 next season, all of their big money sponsorship like Adidas and Chevrolet will become half as per contract.

I do find it interesting that (generally speaking) united fans tend to respect what Chelsea have achieved. I'm not surprised a few want to have a swipe at their local rival. most bitterness i come across seems to come from Liverpool fans who (generally in my experience) can't bring themselves to acknowledge the successes of other clubs. I have the feeling there's a deep sense of frustration amongst scousers that they aren't at the top of the pile.

First Row sports?

Those streams are just a spoor as the other ones I find.

Quality and buffering are piss poor.

Sure, the quality is poor but I have never had any buffering issue. And I use the site a lot.

Ordinarily the early kick off would be a comfortable 3-0/4-0 win for Man City.

 

But they are in shocking form, Toure is injured and Terrific Tony is the manager of the opposition. Upset, anybody?

Was also wondering, do like a bit of giant slaying. In football anything is possible.

i dont think its such a ridiculous notion. man city rely on dodgy sponsorship deals to fund their transfers and still arent in line with ffp. also when you look at the players theyve spent big on lately, theyre all looking like really poor deals for them

 

a lot of money has been invested in the club and they still arent among the elite. their performances in europe are a huge embarrasment. i dont see them winning a major trophy in the next 3-4 years

 

their squad is spent. silva and aguero are the only 2 players who are good enough at the moment. they need a another major investment if they are to compete at the highest level

 

i dont think theyll disappear, but i think this is all theyre goona amount to

man city have an ageing squad and it's going to need replacing soon. Also, it seems they're at the same stage we were at before jose's return where we sacked managers every season or other season because they don't win big trophies. If they continue to sack managers and continue with no stability, then they won't be bringing through any youth and they will need to pay out big money for players.

 

Who can they realistically sell to gain profit from? Yaya toure maybe, but he won't go for much considering his age; david silva won't be sold as he's an important player; sergio aguero is important to them too and if he goes in the summer, who will they bring in? I don't see who else they could sell for any profit to be honest. 

City have an identity problem. Have done since the money arrived.

 

Whatever they've achieved, they're still just the second team in their own city.

 

We never really had that issue because we had a defined identity before Roman arrived that people could gravitate towards. We were a glamour team in the 1970s, we're always going to have that King's Road image and in the 1990s we became a very cosmopolitan club with the advent of the Bosman ruling. For a while we were much like Arsenal - great to watch but lacked a bit of bottle to really mount a challenge for the title. Our great moments of that era were in the cups.

 

So having more money wasn't a massive change. To me it suited our image already, whereas it's never seemed to sit well with City.

 

Then we appointed Jose and he had a massive influence on our identity - City haven't really had that. Mancini could've been that but who is that totemic figure for them? The owner? The ex-Barcelona guys? Pellegrino?

 

If they fail to win the league then they need a massive rebuild and need to make a concerted effort to build an identity.

The replies are brilliant. Bit of a weird, pointless post from Wilshere.

 

One reply - "Delete this or I'll kill your children while I rape Soler's."

Well, sh*t.

Well this game is over

What is wrong with the refs this season.

FA directive?

Ruined the game

Was the wrong West Brom player sent off just now?

West Brom to win 1-0 at 80/1. Gonna happen.

Was it a red? Haven't seen it.

A red was harsh, a red to the wrong player is disgraceful.

West Brom to win.

This time last year Gibbs was sent off when Ox should of and now the same has happened again

refs  this  year   

wait what happened, what was the red for? last man?
