Bluemoon goes into Meltdown

I remember a pretty controversial offside/interfering goal going their way against Villa a couple of seasons back. And that handball they got away with at Goodison last season.

Get it right up them.
 
I watched his (Erik's) interview, he looked embarrassed.
Not as embarrassing as their small time players and fans celebrating like they'd won the world cup though.

Ah yes, small time Casemiro who has 5 CL titles more than their entire squad. Small time Varane who has 4 CL titles more than their entire squad and a World Cup. Small time Martinez who just won the World Cup.
 
“Funny the managers like Arteta and Ten Hag learning of pep but don’t bring to the table the nice part where you except a result or have there players not cheating in games!”

Not sure where to even start with this one. Wow.
All grammar matters.
 
Wasn’t dodgy though. Found myself sat praying Marcus wouldn’t touch the ball and thankfully he didn’t. Only ABU commentators, the media and City players who watched it all unfold and did feck all about it, are questioning its legality.
Still haven’t got over the ‘unintentional handball against Middlesbrough’ that’ll never sit right with me, if you wish to talk about dodgy goals.
Exactly.
If he did touch the ball all United fans would be calling him an idiot and all city fans would be laughing their heads off
 
The linesman was Darren Cann who is Howard Webb's best mate why are we suprised when a decision like that goes against us? It's blatant cheating!
He absolutely shat himself when all the fecking rag bastard started shouting at him.
He shat himself more when Howard shouted in his earpiece, telling him to change his fecking mind or he's getting sacked in the morning.

Can’t wait to see Dermot Gallagher justifying why it was a correct decision on Ref Watch on Monday, should be a classic.

Already saw it in Optus. They find a way to justify as they want to find a way. All they have to do is get experts in the studio agreeing & they had Berbatov & Owen doing that as SWP shook his head.
Experts, 2 ex. Rags lol
Dont these ex pros saying it's a goal realise they are just making football seem more like WWF. Its ruining the game they are meant to love.
Watched just the bit of MotD where they reviewed the first Rrags goal - Micah, bless him, called it a shocking decision and Wright and Lineker both thought it was the wrong decision.

Micah was right of course, every time I see it, I'm even more staggered that Rashford was not penalised for offside.
I hope that £175M Clause is still on for Haaland in 2 years, much better team without him.
Good man Owen
 
On Haaland

He really annoys me. He was annoying me then he would shut me up by scoring a hatrick but now he does nothing.

Since just before the break his movement has been really poor. He turns like the titanic which affects our pressing & has developed a poor touch & hasn’t even looked strong when holding players off.

Im not sure if he’s injured but he’s reminding me of ****** boy. We all said we wouldn’t want him cos he does feck all but score & yet we put up with this. I wish Madrid would make an offer quick.
 
Ladies and Gentlemen, for your complete pleasure....

Grealish 0-1


Bruno 1-1


Rashford 2-1


Utter despair :lol:

"Jack Grealish is almost crying, that's how much it means to him." - We're all aware of his undying love for the historic Man City.



Ha ha what a pair of dopes.

Serious question though, how are watchalongs a thing?

Who in their right mind wants to watch a pair of YouTube dweebs talk nonsense about a match, and jump around like gimps in an empty room when their team scores, instead of just watching the feckin match?
 
It is hilarious, the only thing that is funnier is the fake stories when one of the posters comes across a group of over-confident rags in normal daily-life situations and then proceeds to silence them all with his intelligence and wit
Every made up story has the same premise.

"I was in the butchers and this rag tw** was giving it the billy big bollix in his rag top. He's never been to a game in his life. He said that 21 was coming, so I told him that the only number 21 he's gonna see, is if he waits at bus depo across the road! Should have seen his face, then he dropped his sausages and everyone cheered. I just walked down the street laughing to myself. Like a king."

This still makes me chuckle.
Could have been lifted direct from BM:lol:

I don’t disagree with you but it’s the modern day football fan - it’s all about the drama, flashy signings, ‘Top 4’ and who is popular in FIFA Ultimate Team these days.

My generation had football cards and Grandstand. The generation after had Soccer AM and the Sky boom.

Culture has changed and it’s easier to follow a game via the fan channels when supporters don’t have access to the match because of the ridiculous prices of Pay-Per-View TV. Illegal streams are horrendous to watch as you’re usually 5 minutes behind the actual action and not everyone knows where/how to access them.

So I guess the fan channels fill a void and provide entertainment. I’ve been guilty of watching a rival fan channel if their team is getting beat because it’s quite amusing watching the meltdown happen live and uncut.
 
What is it with rival fans and them still talking like Shaw is a shit player?, i mean its so 2015.
then again our whole team is shit according to them so.
 
Although it's funny to watch Pep go mental, I don't think what he said postmatch is unreasonable. He pointed out that Akanji can't commit himself fully to defend Bruno because he's not sure Rashford has been judged offside, which is a criticism of the complication in the rule. He also said they have to do better to beat United at OT, so he's put it on the team, not the referee.

In the post match he also implied that refs are prone to giving decisions in favour of United because they're influenced by the Old Trafford crowd. He came across as very bitter - just like their fanbase.

That Middlesbrough goal was infuriating, but I'm sure that one today was equally so for City fans.
I think the vast majority of people, fans and ABUs alike, thought wtf when that was allowed. Really bizarre but fantastic moment:lol:
 
The funniest thing is if there is any game rigging or ref being in the cahoots with some teams shouldnt City be on top of the list ? Most money in the league, multiple time winners in last few seasons, constant tactical fouls being let go, etc. If there is any team that can buy all the refs and FA surely its City no ? Or are they thinking the FA and refs took their bribe and still feck them over ?? Reading their comments it seems like a small club mentality regardless how many trophies they won (or buy ?). Do they expect to win all the games simply by having the most expensive team in the league ? Its like kids playing FIFA

Well their narrative is that the FA and PL want to preserve us, Pool, Arsenal etc as the top teams because of nepotistic david gill old boy types swanning around laughing and drinking champagne when City lose.

Same withe UEFA and european clubs.

They think they're the new bad boys of club football and all the pearl clutching fuddy-duddies want to stop them at all costs
 
I know quite a few City fans who have gone back to Stockport County in the last couple years. Mixture of County doing well and the hollow nature of City’s rise I’m guessing.

Biggest feck logic ever. If anything else from economic and viewership standpoint its better for other "new" teams to win the league rather than the same "old boys" teams winning it every year. If the same teams keep winning what you get is the current La Liga/BuLi with its boring and predictable. storyline. Or are they thinking it happens because they win too much recently and the "conspiracy" wants to even out the win back to the old boys ?
 
Bit rich (pun absolutely intended) their screams of conspiracy theories when their own financial setup is a quagmire of skulduggery.
 
Theirs a couple there calling for Pep out... jesus wept. I don't like to make fun of my owns clubs support but really? One of the best manager of all time on his first poor run in 3 years, losing a derby in that manner against a rejuvenated United at a bouncing Old Trafford and still 2nd in the league and theres a couple of prats who want him sacked. You couldn't make it up.

I've been on here long enough to have seen people making comments like that after we lost the 2002 title race, the 2005 FA cup final and towards the end of the 05/06 season when it was clear we were starting to click and went on something like a 14 match winning run at the end of the season. Folk were suggesting Fergie was done and it might be time for a change.... just the 5/6 more league titles, 3 CL finals with one win, a world club championship win and a couple of league cups came after that, so they had a point did the doubters

I used to work with an arsenal fan who said Ferguson had the entire football World in his pocket and the only way to win the league was to be more corrupt than him. I asked him if this meant that in 98, 2002 and 2004, Wenger had found some extra cash down the back of his sofa. Of course not he said, Arsenal are the exception who don't need to cheat to win.

That's bluemoon logic that.

Oh, the sack Fergie sell Ronaldo days!

yeah, a lot of lads I know don’t want to support city any more. We have one lad “No Morals Beckenham” who openly celebrates the atrocities that City’s owners commit but he genuinely gets stick from a lot of the other lads in the group.
 
I thought Dermot G described the situation really well.

VAR can't intervene because it wasn't a factual error
Stuart Atwell was in his right to interpret the situation the way he did - but then he said: I would have given an offside because that would create less fuzz and be equally correct as to give a goal.

Basically Atwell wasn't wrong - but Dermot would have interpreted the rules differently.
 
I hope it was offside. By a country mile, and the worst refereeing decision ever made. They deserve it.

I’ve known one or two similar. “I don’t care how many slaves they have as long as we’re winning” type stuff.
 
I'm far from grammar nazi, but the amount of shit grammar in their posts are insane. Do they even go to school ? Having a hard time understanding half of the shitestain they wrote there. Anyone think our players (prolly Manc born ones) lurk or post here ? Bet they are having a laugh right now reading this thread.

What madness is this? Two decisions can only be equally correct in the feckin twilight zone these refs have got themselves into it trying to protect themselves from criticism.

And not giving decisions because it's would cause a fuss is an outrageous thing to admit to. You make the right decision according to the rules not how much stick you're going to get. This attitude is reason we have so much inconsistency in decisions.
 
Not from blue moon but this is mental.


Point A you can argue, because the way the ball is travelling, it's moving away from Akanji and towards Bruno.

Point B though, I can definitely see their argument there. From that still I'd never expect to see Ederson in that position in that stance.

The fact that Akanji stopped running is totally on him. You play to the whistle. If he had closed Rashford down and Rashford got between him playing the ball it would have been offside but he gave up.
