Barclays Premier League 2014/15

MATAAAAAA

You beautiful bastard.

So tight? It was at least a fucking yard offside.

Offside, again.

More great refereeing for us.

Linesman wank too

Mata is great at scoring offside goals. Loving the scoreline though.

SMALLING!! GET IN

You know when the retarded Rio Ferdinand scores you're having a shite day

You know you're shite when Chris Smalling scores against you.

SMALLING!

Onside too.

Thank you Mangala.

Knew Mangala would end up being at fault for at least one goal.

Ashley Young still looks twice the player Di Maria is.

Citys season has really collapsed

Absolutely brilliant.

And in amazing style too.

City heading for their eighth defeat in 14 matches in all comps dating back to Jan 18. Pitiful

Focused plenty on City getting themselves in bad positions. Not led at HT since Boxing Day.

The best stat is that City haven't won a league game where they have been behind at half time in 20 years.

20 years ffs

That stat sounds too good to be true!!??

^ Away games only! Still poor though.

Funnily enough it was at Ewood, 3-2, in the middle of when we looked like we were throwing the title away.

How many times have we been behind at half time? That's kind of a big thing to omit.


Linesman was shite, City were even worse. Yaya needs to go and Aguero needs to drop to the bench for a game or 2 once Bony is back, he's been absolutely woeful since Christmas and 2 goals can't mask that. Offered nothing at all yesterday. Fernandinho is a beast

City need to move on their average players, it's baffling how much money they can spend and how many players would you say are genuinely world class?

Aguero, Silva, Hart, Zabaleta?

Then there's Toure and Kompany who look like they've just downed tools for whatever reason.

People like Clichy, Navas, Mangala, Fernando are just not good enough. Unsure on Fernandinho as a top level midfielder, either. Milner is good but how many other top sides would he get in?

Zaba has been woeful this season.

We need a big overhaul of players and Txiki has shown he's not up to the job at all. Most of his signings have been terrible

In b4 blaming FFP

Why the fuck would we blame FFP when we spent a fortune on Mangala?

I agree with the point about average players but it's pretty odd to judge the worth/success of all the transfers based on how they're playing at the moment.
As an aside, Joe Hart isn't even close to being world-class. He's been better this season than last but that's really not saying much.


I don't think there's a problem with those players being at City, the problem is that so many of them are first choice. Navas is a good player but he should be a squad player, somebody to make an impact off the bench or be used in rotation in a specific role. He isn't good enough to be first-choice for a club that wants to be winning the League and Champions League, the same goes for Fernando and Clichy too. What's more damning is the fact that players like Kolarov (2010) and Dzeko (2011) are still at the club despite their (not insignificant) weaknesses being found out long ago. At least Navas and Fernando have only been at the club for a year or two.

Bit harsh to lump in Kompany with Yaya too. He's playing shite but at least he actually seems to care.



To be fair, Zaba's been run into the ground over the last few years. It was always going to catch up with him at some point, it's just unfortunate that it's happened when the rest of the team is playing at it's lowest level for years. It's left him massively exposed at a time when he needs more protection.

Disagree about Txiki. He's not been a resounding success but neither has he been a complete failure either. Some good signings, some mediocre signings and a few bad ones. He needs to do better this time around but he's not done that badly.

Any Newcastle fan making the trip to watch our dross tonight deserves a medal.

£52 for a restricted view ticket to watch us get battered about 124-0 while Carver runs around on the touchline like a blithering idiot claiming he's spoke to Bobby.

Fuck me

We shouldn't have to settle for that really. Essentially the biggest budget in the world and with his reputation and the money he's being paid we shouldn't have to settle for his record
