Dier really doesn't give a **** does he? Lol absolutely brilliant. Speaking of Dier, has anyone seen the little Twitter banter between him and Alli in recent days which involved Anthony Joshua? For those who don't have access to Twitter, here's a little laugh: And finally, an added extra, from last week's win against Watford, we now know Trippier's nickname at the club
Kompany came off looking like a bear with a sore head as well. Thought the Man City players looked a bit pensive heading back out after half time and Zabeleta just looked like he didn't want to be there.
Absolutely superb! This is the combination of having a large group of players who are barely old enough to read and write, combined with what is clearly an incredible team spirit. I couldn't help but laugh at the fact that Tom Carroll of all people is calling Trippier 'frodo'
Anyone find Kompany and Hart's pre-match chanting/ geeing up a bit corny? I mean these guys shouldn't really need someone saying "come on, be strong, be brave" etc. Our lads were just standing there cool, calm and focused on what needed to be done. I can understand the odd "come on boys" as you're walking out but just found it pretty funny, not sure if they were trying to get some sort of mental edge over us but it clearly didn't work.
I feel sorry for Hart and Kompany. With Aguero, they're the only ones who give a toss about the club. I thought it was disgusting how no-one went over to congratulate Ihneacho or however you spell it on what was a crucial and excellently taken goal, especially as he is a 19-year old learning his trade. Funnily enough, I think he'd be a superb addition to our squad. Maybe next year he'd prefer to play for the team with the golden badge on their sleeves?
The pad work video gets me every time, it's shocking form as it is and his face is signalling some cocky bastard showing off, the "muscle man" walk afterwards just tops it off .
Hart says: "It's difficult for him cos he strikes it well but every time he gets it he's, he's worried, you know?" Talking that loudly (you can hear him before he's even in the shot) he surely isn't talking about one of his team mates and in fact I'd think that he wants to be overheard. In light of that I can't help but notice his look over at Walker. Seems a bit nasty to his England team-mate but I guess if you sense a psychological weakness you try to exploit it like anything else.
That's the problem with these superstars, equalising at home is too low for them to celebrate, poor on their part because it was a great finish in fairness from the lad and deserved the acknowledgement and appreciation from his more experienced peers. I'd definitely have him at the club, early signs suggest he'll turn into a very good striker, he's learning from one of the best on the planet but if wants to learn off of one of the others - and feel apart of a team - he knows where we are .
Whatever, none of it worked! As we've said, we're fitter than just about anybody. If you can't or won't match out workrate, and very few can, you're very liable to get overrun. That's what happened to City, they got tired, got harassed into mistakes, and lost!
"I couldn't help but laugh at the fact that Tom Carroll of all people is calling Trippier 'frodo'" That's Mr Merrin/Pippen to you, pal.
I was thinking the same thing this morning after reading the gossip column thread which had the papers speculating about who Pep was going to splurge the oil Sheiks hard earned moolah on next season. Sounds like they expect them to go down the Chelsea route and basically ignore the young talent at the club. Cheeky bid? According to the Manchester Evening News he is contracted until 2019 though, so doubt they will let him go cheap
I've watched it ten times and that's exactly what Hart's doing. Walker knows it's directed at him too.
Dunno if you fancy listening to the Dire/Toure spat again... The part where Toure says "Shut up..." that bit of audio is repeated a few seconds later. Also, when Toure says "Shut up..." listen for Lloris' gloves being torn off, only to see and hear them being torn off a few seconds later again. I wonder why...
What got me is how they have a slogan of WE ARE CITY above the tunnel Errm...how is this motivation, exactly? For decades were a punchline, and in the past ten years they've been nothing more than Harry Enfield's Brummie who is considerably richer than yaawww.
City now advertise available tickets for the the remaining games of the season on Talk Sport. They have become West Ham minus the Porno Brothers.
