Don't you realise that people see this before their first coffee  So cruel.

First coffee?  I bloody wish! I overslept this morning so had to rush to make the coach. No tea. No coffee. No wee. Haven't brushed my teeth.  Counting down the minutes to the services so I can rectify all of that.

Watching the highlights of the Liverpool game, VAR got all the decisions right but Jesus they took a long time about it!

i still don't understand why the fa and uefa haven't implemented the rule of pausing the clock when an injury occurs or a important decision is to be taken. it is so simple and easy to implement, yet for some reason it hasn't been considered.

Do you mean stopping the clock? Having an independent time keeper would be a step forward. Game time needs to be clear and transparent, not seemingly random.

Believe me, that is preferable to that awful Pardew meme on an empty stomach. Or a full stomach, come to think of it.

Man City are so boring...

City are a diving bunch of w**kers, and Lee Mason is a terrible ref.

Could have left the word terrible out as calling him a ref implies it anyway.

Barca losing 1-0 at HT to a goal from former City youngster John Guidetti. They’ve got a strong team out too 

Yellow card challenge apparently. Could have ended his career there.

Every season in the F.A cup, the refs give these teams below the Premier League as much chance as possible and more often than not let them get away with tackles like this. Guardiola was right with what he said, the players need better protection in England.

two weeks ago Barca were losing 2-0 & ending up winning 4-2. last week 0-0 for 60 minutes & Barca won 5-0. and what was the final result today? Barca 2-1 over Alves It will take an unbelievable effort to stop these guys.

Mourinho was saying this for years in regards to Hazard and nothing changed. I don't expect it to either, sadly.

City signed Laporte for £57m. Not won the title yet and they're still strengthening. We won the title and weakened. 

Strange.

Go 2 pages back.......and you'll see how they do it, I posted about it with links. But they do have ambitions though.....huge ambitions.........btw pep's spending at city has gone beyond 450m Pounds now.  

I see Arsenal bottling it tonight. Swansea will be confident from their win vs Liverpool. 

Liverpool will probably bounce back but you never know with these lot.

Rumours circulating they've bid £59m for Mahrez.

Jesus wept, god help us all. 

 

City domination for the next decade me thinks. 

United sign Sanchez

City sign Laporte

Arsenal likely to sign Aubameyang

Spurs likely to sign Lucas Moura

 

and people wonder why fans are upset at the clubs transfer activity. There’s only one player there whose position I don’t think we need to strengthen and it’s Laporte but then again if we were in for Van Djik as rumoured then the club/Conte clearly felt we needed to. Nonetheless they’re all quality players and big name signings.

 

sane is out for 6 weeks ffs and they want to dip in the market again. their spending is ridiculous and not beneficial to football at all. hypocritical of us to say, but for years we've been reigning in our spending due to ffp. pep is a fantastic coach, but he's making a mockery of his abilities as a coach by constantly buying players to improve. bring up some youth or something, phil foden for e.g is rotting on the bench. i feel the same about our youth players too. where does it end? you will never see english players come through and improve at the top level if the top 3/4 aren't willing to consistently play them.
