.Rossi
ever get that feeling of déjà vu?
It irritates the shit out of me that, if we didn't do the biggest bottle job in Premier League history, they would only have the league cup and FA cup...Madness
I know I post a lot of shit. However, this is not a knee jerk reaction. I'm very calm right now. We have bought very badly. We have the highest wage bill in world sport.
I wanted Mancini gone. However, it is now conclusive that Pellegrini is no tactician. All he does is play the same style of football every week. No plan B. No plan to stop the opposition. Just sheer arrogance that we can be mini-Barcelona, let me tell you we are a shell of Barcelona. Why? Because Iniesta and Xavi actually give a shit about their club. He stands there like a plank of wood regardless of the result. Never changes the formation, just the personnel.
We turn up week in week out like we are fecking drunk. Our players look shocked that a game of football is happening. No pressing. No aggression. No passion.
Hart is NO WHERE NEAR AS GOOD AS SOME THINK. I've never seen a keeper get beat at his near post so many times.
It's just funny. Seriously. Money can't buy passion because that is why teams like Wigan and Sunderland embarrass us time and time again. Because they want it more. After 4 years and 2 managers we still can't beat Sunderland and Stoke away. We seem to never learn our lesson.
I'm actually embarrassed to be a city fan tonight. The balance of the team is not right. We have way to many stars and not enough 'glue' players. Cahill, Terry, Azpic etc. Chelsea have a bedrock of solid performers. Aside from Fernandinho and Zaba all of our players have a howler in them. Even Liverpool have Henderson etc. Hard workers. We have a load of lazy feckers robbing us blind.
Soriano promised that we would have a director of football approach and that the first team coach would be cycled every 2 seasons or so. feck managerial stability. This isn't 1980 any more. Sack him and hope Madrid sack Ancelotti at the end of the season.
Hard to argue with this post. A lot of home truths highlighted here:

This guy clearly didn't watch the cup final.
they were saved from a home defeat by a howler by the Sunderland goalie. The boos are ridiculus though. I wonder how they would react to being 7th in the leagueJust saw the scoreline now. Was it a really bad performance from them?

Hard to argue with this post. A lot of home truths highlighted here:
-- £90m spent on improving a lavishly assembled squad
-- Rags in tailspin
-- Chelsea in a weaker state than we will see for some years
-- Arsenal and Tottenham as flaky as ever.
Almost a perfect storm.
And we are looking at a League Cup and a probable third place.
Chelsea in a weaker state than we will see for some years
Interesting to see him write that about Joe Hart, I wonder how many other City fans are as objective about him.Hard to argue with this post. A lot of home truths highlighted here:
Pellegrini has destroyed the image of our club. We are a laughing stock. Everybody hates us. Everybody is mocking us.
This thread becomes a bit ridiculous when we'd kill to be in City's position.
We're currently more of a laughing stock than City.How so?
The thread documents meltdowns by City supporters on Blue Moon. Up to tonight, they were still bullish about it being their title. The meltdown was always going to be brilliant tonight.
We're currently more of a laughing stock than City.
Yeh the Caf has nothing to be proud of at the moment.

Just been on Bluemoon there, they are so bitter about everything, particularly Liverpool and United both. I'd go as far as to say they considerably worse when talking about Liverpool than the majority on here. I actually think they are annoyed that neither team considers City as their main rival, quite funny really.
What do they have to be bitter on us this season?
Where has this theory come from? Chelsea haven't done this well in the league since they last won it.
When a billionaire walks through the door, your going to expect that your team is going to do a Chelsea and quickly pick up championships and start to make a dent in Europe.
Hasn't really happened has it? Their one championship was placed in their laps after an epic meltdown by us- Jesus for that one goal!- and their European dream has really been a nightmare.
They'll pick up just the one from four this year, and yes you have to question the mentality, because it's skill and talent that gets you to the business end of the season, buts it's grit and balls that gets you the silverware.
I dont blame that one goal, I blame Joey fecking Barton, if he had not of been a cock and got send off, there would of been no injury time.When a billionaire walks through the door, your going to expect that your team is going to do a Chelsea and quickly pick up championships and start to make a dent in Europe.

I beg to differ. City have spunked a billion quid yet they've only one league title, one F.A Cup and one League Cup to their name.
In the wider footballing world, I can assure you City are more routinely mocked than us.
They're probably sitting there thinking 'With all this money why didn't we go for a top class manager like Moyes'

Just a few months back, people on here were raving about how they're the best team on the planet and how they were going to thrash Barca...It was hilarious yesterday afternoon when some folk on the Caf' actually thought footballers would rather play for City than United.
The current set of bottlers at City don't even want to be there, for feck's sake!
No fun allowed mate. You can't make fun of City, Gerrard, Liverpool here anymore, everybody's a heroe and we're the clowns, you have to accept it and lash yourself 5 times a day screaming 'it's Moyes fault' in order to get absolution.
Caf really got hit by some small-dick-syndrome-tidal-wave recently. It's almost a new fad or competition where you're meant to slate yourself and whole club no matter what.

Chelsea are like an expensive snooker cue being held by Rocket Ronnie only to find they have no tip. Once they get a quality striker (won't be easy) they will be very hard to beat. They are still not the Chelsea of old. Arsenal are bottlers and City should have won the league. Fair play to Liverpool for putting themselves in there with a major chance but they have had major fortune (15 pens no Europe out cups early) that have helped them in the league. As much as I can't stand Liverpool (in a football rivallary sense) I have a healthy respect for them and after 25 years aniversity of Hilsborough it would be fitting if they won the league. But unless they invest heavily in the summer I think they will struggle to get back in the top 4 as only S&S are top players the rest are average imo.
