Another game where we breathe near a Monaco player and it’s a free kick… but feel free to clatter into a City player at will… you’ll be fine

Goalkeeper touches ball first.
Striker collides with goalkeeper.
No foul given.
Maybe I’m getting old here, but to me that’s the correct decision. It’s not like the keeper came out and clattered him waist high is it?
Anyway… Arsenal moaning again = all good

Fuck me… are we really going to spin this as a moral victory for Arsenal? They have our respect? Pushed us back?
How about we played you? Got a goal and went to play on the break?
Have none of these “experts” notice a shift in our approach over the last few weeks?

Could and should have won, but I’d have taken the point before the game.
Let Arsenal celebrate… they largely huffed and puffed but we kept them at arm’s length until the goal. Why we decided not to run it into the corner is beyond me… we lose the ball and they go on to score.

So far so good. I like this robust, play to Haaland’s strengths approach.
But we need to show a bit more in midfield to get control and get forward. I don’t fancy watching us dig in for 45 more minutes… or more like 55 minutes.

Prince Andrew is divorced, broke, living in his brother's lodge, he's humiliated, a joke;
Even his own kids have distanced themselves
Don't we think he's suffered enough?

I just saw a comment that said "I don't support what happened to Charlie, but Charlie supported what happened to Charlie."
THAT ... that's what I've been trying to put into words.

A lot of transfer flapping going on The Other Site. 3 games in, new players bedding in, no preseason...
We’re engulfed with a 24 hr media machine that is loaded with hyperbole, where a team can be crowned champions one week and relegated the next.
It’s City. When was it ever easy?

As a match-going fan of nearly 40 years, in away games at 1-0 the words “don’t give them anything” especially fans that are quiet, to shout about.
Why 11 professionals can’t think the same is beyond me. The number of games we’ve done this in down the years is staggering.

Are Sky working for Vianna? Lewis has been pulling the strings??? Are they trying to get his fee up?
He’s been good, but pulling strings?
Erm. No.

This week I’ve watched the Charity Shield, the Euro Super Cup and the Villa game…
In each one, all you needed to do to win a free kick was to hit the deck with a defender anywhere within 5 yards of you.
Then City play. Doku has swapped shirts 3 times and Lewis was shoved into Row G.

I wonder if the irony of the £350+ paying comfortable middle classes, gap year students and trust fund kids singing along to Common People is lost on the £350+ paying comfortable middle classes, gap year students and trust fund kids watching Pulp at Glastonbury?! 😜

Why do football commentators always seem to think that City being vulnerable to counter is recent phenomenon? Idiots.

Bruno Fernandes is giving serious consideration to an approach from Al Hilal, with talks continuing in Saudi Arabia.
The outcome is uncertain at this stage, but it is felt Fernandes has not ruled out the prospect of leaving #MUFC.
