Kyle Walker what a cunt

As pathetic as the play acting was, I do wonder how monumentally dense, even by footballer standards, you need to be to go head to head with another player in 2024 with VAR. It's up there with Stephens against Chelsea as the most astonishingly brainless thing I've seen in football.

What is frustrating is that VAR could correct this sort of shit rather than worrying about interfering armpit. Red for Walker would be 100% justified.

I do wonder if pulling someone's someone hair is violent conduct why isn't the whole headpressing thing too.

Ange, like Martin, is playing the equivalent of the football mind virus.

I may be thick, but I don't understand the payoff. I understand it in theory, but how often does playing out from the back actually completely break down a team of well-drilled Premier League (or even Championship) players.

The risk outweighs the reward significantly, and especially when you have goalkeepers without the capabilities.

The sooner it's gone from our game, the better. It stinks.

Felt sorry for Big Fraser tonight. Worth a look if you haven't seen his two howlers - Spurs were coasting at 3-0 and within a six minute disaster spell it was 3-2. I half expected Ange to substitute him because his head was gone and he had more of a glazed look about him than normal.

That second united goal. Lurch swang his size thirteen like he was kicking a flat tyre.
Spurs. They sing our song. They buy our duds. They copy our tactics. What do they expect. They can have macarthy. He can do everything Forster can do, and more.

Ah, that's a shame. The tators in his first game coming in were mentioning the good saves he was making. I was pleased for him.

Yeah, he's been making some very good saves in games I've watched. Unfortunately, Ange is another who likes to get his keeper involved with passing out and we all know that Fraser is hopeless at it - he's just too slow and cumbersome with the ball at his feet.

Listening to him after the game ... I was having Martin post-match interview PTSD. Mentions of 'moments' and 'philosophy' and other such bollocks. Ugh.

Giving it all the "are you not entertained?"

It's great for the neutral to see you fuck it up spectacularly mate, but the fans won't have it if you stay out the top four and continue winning sweet fuck all.

Hopefully villa smash city and their slump continues, and guardiola calls it a day soon.

Pep is brilliant but his influence to lower end managers’ is frightening.

I think Man City's recent slump is an enjoyment to many. It's surely no coincidence that since we played them and RS had a cosy chat with his superhero that City have fallen off a cliff. Teams like City will always lose a game here and there but this run of defeats is something new for them. He has had it easier than many managers with the huge amount of money at his disposal to buy the very best. This will show whether Pep is a great manager or not. And yes, come on Villa!

You got the right result. 1 win in 12. Keep it up City!!!

Expand  

Pep gets what he deserves for trying to claim Russell Martin's side played the best football. If you lower yourself to talk such utter bollocks you don't deserve to win any more games ever again. He took advantage of a naive vegan when he was at his lowest and there's no excuse for that.

How many more games does Pep have to lose before Russell Martin's recent run is better?

City clearly need to be even more extreme in their possession football. Who better to bring in, than the man Pep said they had learned so much from.

He's been like that for years, so arrogant and smug. His comments about Martin were a dig and meant to belittle him. Rustie is too dim to figure that out.

Smug peppy is getting his comeuppance.

Watching match of the day, and having watched two matches on Sky yesterday, I note, that all these teams are making big mistakes trying to play out from the back. So not just us.

Spot on! Pep has a patronising tone when 'complimenting' the little managers. RM will have fallen for it. Pep's a bit like Manuel from Fawlty Towers at the moment. "I know nothing, I'm from Barcelona".

Everyone trying to copy Pep who has always had the money to buy the best ball playing keeper and defenders in the world.
