Let’s have it.
I don't want to derail the thread but believe that and you'll believe anything.Gvardiol £77.6m,Akanji £15m, savio £33.6m, haaland £52m. Yea they have spent, I should have worded it differently, net spending has been very low in recent years.
They have spent poorly in recent years, players not good enough. Very few have worked out and they have sold some of them not long after buying them, and I imagine they will sell more of them.
Agreed. Same age as Garnacho and where I'd say Savinho looks more refined, he lacks Garnacho's productivity. May change of course. New country, new league etc.Savinho looks a tidy player but his output is poor
We aren't very good any more are we
We've had a fecking great run
can we get top 4? i am not sure.
We Spurs’d it.
We got bummed by Spurs who will probably go on and get bummed by relegation fodder in turn. Serious investment needed in January
A shameless spineless surrender of a 52 game unbeaten home run …. roll on Anfield next week!
Feels like 2016 again. Hopefully we are similarly ambitious with our rebuild this time
Where did I leave that Chelsea shirt?
You snooze, in transfer windows, you lose, and we've been comatose!
The inactivity means the rebuild is now enormous.
We no longer have a style of play or even a system
A tough watch. Bring on Liverpool
Love this forum. Absolute wet lettuces who know nothing other than being spoilt
For the empty heads, this is football. Sometimes you go through a major slump, the same ones you all enjoy other clubs’ demise when they’re going through it.
We WILL be champions come May.
And then you can all take your faces for a massive dump an apologise.
Something isn't right, it's not injuries, the performances and decision making is a joke.
Two weeks to look in the mirror after four straight losses and that's what they come out and do...
And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why Rodri won the Balon d'Or.
...Absolute Carrot Shit
Not surprised as is tradition to get beat by a shite Spurs team (who got beat by Ipswich)
Couldn’t cross, take corners, shoot, tackle, subs too late etc….
As i said before, the Silver lining though blues, get some extra money for Christmas - get your money on Fulham to beat Spurs next week
Easy money
We need a lot of transfers. Right back, left back, two strikers, central midfielder defensive midfielder and an attacking midfielder.. it's going to be one hell of a January transfer window
Yeah right…..
Well in terms of what City paid Dortmund, this is accurate.I don't want to derail the thread but believe that and you'll believe anything.
Where did I leave that Chelsea shirt?
No rodri is no excuse. Somethimg deep rooted behind the scenes that we dont know cos the loss off 1 player wouldnt make us lose 5 on the spin
Losing , is what it is
Its some of the attitude or lack of it thats concerning
A team of 0 leaders .... not one of them
The fall off now is real and it’s a shame.
Some players have lost the plot and some have aged.
We are currently a busted flush.
Try to get through to Jan and accept we have to spend big it’s just that time again.
Come back City wherever you are..all is forgiven.
Shit upfront, shit in the middle and shit defence. Just a load of shit.
Not felt this sad since the Wigan cup final. feck me gents
How many will liverpool put past us
I'm worried.....very worried.
Might go for a long walk with the dogs next Sunday!
Reminder spurs were missing their first choice centre backs. We can’t use injuries as an excuse for that
feck off txiki
Just needs Pep now to tell us all he was so happy and the boys played well, fecking shit weekend
I don't think this is that bad, I think redcafe would be similar.
BingoMaybe they run out of juice
Could be worse..we could be the rags!
CTID
How many players do we need?
Seven or eight I would say.
We also need a renewed hunger and focus. Right through the club in fact.
Soriano talking this week about creating TV programmes for kids, just before we get tonked by a mid-table side because we’ve bought poorly and held onto players too long. Sums up where we are now unfortunately.
Everyone needs a kick up the arse and a fair few need moving on.
I'm surprised at that result given how we played, but 4-0 is a convincing scoreline...
...we were in white, right?
When they said we may be relegated I assumed they meant due to the 115 chargers, now I’m concerned we may not reach 40 points
...Leaving the ground now to catch my flight back home, Grim day all round weather wise and results wise.
Dreading next weekend already.
Rodri is the system. Without him it doesn’t work
...We beat Chelsea without him. I just don’t buy that
Only an absolute loon would try to defend that performance. The worst City team I've seen for 20 years.
There were moments today that I missed the days of Javi Garcia and Jack Rodwell.
End of an era. Start of a new one.
Viana has something to prove, he'll be aggressive in the market. Pep's committed to another rebuild. Top young players coming through.
We'll be OK in the end. Unless we get relegated, in which case none of this matters.
Liverpool will absolutely f*ck us
I'll also add
The Europa League trophy is a fecking belter.
...Gary Neville is still a rat faced ****.
yeah we were shit today
The fact that Rodri is so vital that one injury to him makes us fall apart is a joke.
...We already saw it last season when he got suspended, Is Pep just incapable of finding a plan without him ? he's the best manager ever so I'd say he should.
ONE WORD SHAMBOLIC
...That's three mate ; p
Midfield a total fecking shambles. No pace or energy. Haaland must be so pissed with that. A few good chances but no service after 20 mins . If KdB is fit then why the feck is he not starting? Lewis and Gundogan need to be benched.
...Haaland was a disgrace today, awful game and no pressing and sulking
The board for me...
Stop penny pinching and spend some money for fecks sake.
How can we win so much over the years , win so much prize money, ect.. and don't make statement signings..
Charges or not.. the team and the game goes on in the meantime..
...To be fair we have spent but we have spent on mediocre players. Nunes, kovavic and Phillips is best part of 120 mil there.
Said all I had to say in the match thread, God help us against Liverpool that's all.
We’ll fecking batter the scouse cnuts next week. I’m highly confident of that. Today was just one of them days
Based on what? The evidence of the last 5 games? That Liverpool have strengths that target our weaknesses and Pep won't mitigate?
Based on the fact that a wounded animal is dangerous. I don’t have any doubts Pep will turn this around
So the 4 wounds prior to this game were what? A mere fleshwound?
...Don't know if you're taking the piss mate but we've lost 5 matches in a row, and we never beat the dippers at Anfield even when they are shite let alone batter them.
Who will be available in January?
...Half of our squad probably. They're so burned out, we could have a fire sale in January.
Exactly same as sporting game. Chance after chance wasted and every time they went on the attack they score. HAVE to bring a 6 in, in January
That was feckin Atrocious and I’m being kind there aswell
Roll on the next International break
The day the title went
the old core - Eddy, Bernie, Kev, Stones, Walker, De Bruyne
they are all done
...I wish it snowed, This could be Bobbins on Ice!
Who will be available in January?
...Another manager hopefully
We could win next week and go 5 points behind, with renewed momentum. If we lose and go 11 behind that would surely be the end of the league (I'm assuming the dippers win tomorrow)
...Renewed momentum?
Is that our biggest ever defeat at the “new” stadium? I can recall a few 0-3s and a 1-4 but don’t recall a 0-4.
Biggest home defeat for 22 yrs!
...5-2 at home to Leicester in August during covid.
Please, someone tell me Haaland signed that new deal before today!
...The way Haaland played today I'm hoping he didn't.
This is the City I knew and love. Thank you for making an old man happy . Today I travelled all the way back to 1983.
Don't care, we won 4 in a row.
The treble.
The domestic Quad.
Centurions
Rodri Balon'dor
My belly is full for 5 years min.
prime time for those new city fans to leave and support other team
Playing like they know they’ll be in league two next season, or not here at all…
Joking, ish…
Be careful what you wish for.. .
(ish)
I miss those days to.There were moments today that I missed the days of Javi Garcia and Jack Rodwell.
First Champions to lose 5 in a row for 70 years
For my birthday, earlier this month, my daughter & son-in-law bought me a Firestick complete with some "special" software. Now I can watch without wasting time searching for a dodgy and poor quality stream.
Since I got the set, I've been able to watch all the last five games.
Is this all my fault?
Wtf has happened to Phil ?
World beater to egg beater in 5 months ?
You’re telling me. I had to watch this with my husband who is a Spurs fan.
I’ve only been a fan for 10ish years so I’m a true bandwagon fan (and in the US!), so if I can make it through today, so can you all! There is enough shit in the world today, so
im staying annoyingly positive and hoping for the next great reinvention by Pep.
Five defeats on the bounce is relegation form. Not saying that we're heading that way, but feck me, we're bad.
That RODRI sign for the Ballon D’or ceremony would have done a better job in midfield than Gundogan and Lewis. At least the R looks like it’s sticking out a leg.
think Walker thought he was still playing for Spurs.
...I still say though that we are : THE BEST TEAM IN THE LAND AND ALL THE ŴORLD
Anyone else think we haven’t rebuilt the squad due to the 115 charges and potential outcome??
Wow.
Not thought of that.
You could be on to something there.....
But yet spend 500 million developing a new stand and hotel facility????
...think it has definitely affected it
Sadly we’ve become the net spend champions as well as the English Champions. Over £100mill+ transfer money burning a hole in the City bank account unspent.
...Keep an old first team but make money/sell off our future players from the academy.
Thus showing the footballing world how well we are doing business wise.
Football is a RESULTS business
Dipper & rag infestation everywhere on this forum
Of course we've been at the top so long you expect them to be dancing from the rooftops now we're on a bad run. That's life.
Dippers might take our gong , United if they win might go above Fulham , but they will never do four in a row or win the pure treble.
So who really gives a shite
No - just proper honest city fans saying it as it is......
...Or is it City fans who can’t accept 5 in a row won’t be done and have morphed into classic entitled wet wipes ?
Just woke from a night shift last night. Christ I'm stunned I know we don't have Rodri, but 0 - 4 against Spurs at home? Why we won't buy a another striker I'll never know. I'm dreading the dippers and the rags!
...At least we're being consistent.
Consistently shite.
Just feck off walker, shitest captain we have ever had
Unfortunately I have to agree with this.
His off field antics alone should have him nowhere near the captaincy. We are in the trenches at this period in time and when we need a leader to steady the ship, Walker isn't that man.
Huge downgrade from the likes of Vinny and Fernandinho
...Been a big part of one the greatest teams this island has ever produced, but has never been captain material. Needs to be given to Ruben as soon as he can get himself fit
We will come good again just hit a shitty run . Have faith in the team
...As we said after Spurs, and again after Brentford, and after Sporting, and after Brighton, and again today. Good job it's just Feyenoord next.
If I were Rodri I'd be on to my agent. Get me to Madrid .
Are you taking about the same Real Madrid that got dismantled by Barcelona just a few weeks ago, On top of being 9 points behind in La Liga?
You talk just as much bollocks here as you do on Rag Cafe.
We already saw it last season when he got suspended, Is Pep just incapable of finding a plan without him ? he's the best manager ever so I'd say he should.
Had a look on RAWK and it’s astounding there is a poster on there who can see more than most in here.
‘They’ve won 4 in a row. There has to be a drop off at some point’.
Just wait until it’s 5 in a row.
Oasis need to feckin split up now!
Should knock Several thousand tourists off Instagram
They can go back to Lfc now
We play Madrid, an dthe vastly overrated Vini Infant doesn't have room to breathe, we play Spuds and Liverpool, and Son and Salah, proven game winners, are given the freedom of the park.
...Just checked the table. Still 2nd. Chin up.
...we have Liverpool away, Palace away, Villa away and rags at home in our next 5 PL games. is it like 4-5 points maximum? with this form not even that.
The Europa League trophy is a fecking belter.
...Let’s go and win the fecker! Another one ticked off the list. It’s a major pot when the rags or dippers win it!
Just think of all the rags and dippers feasting their sore eyes on some of these comments - not a good thought.
Who gives a feck about what they think?
feck them
They need more than 5 games lost to catch up with the comedy gold the pair of them have served up for us for the last 12 years.
One title won between the pair of them in 12 years. Feast your fecking eyes on that.
It’s not their total layout to purchase (excluding wages) though is it?Well in terms of what City paid Dortmund, this is accurate.
Rag"Where did I leave that Chelsea shirt?"
“Dippers might take our gong , United if they win might go above Fulham , but they will never do four in a row or win the pure treble.
So who really gives a shite“
Right. Where to start. If Keane didn’t do his ACL United would have won six in a row I think. “Our gong”? Puhlease.
What the actual f#*# is the “pure treble”.
I tell you United’s treble will never be recorded in the record books with a * after it as it will with Citeh’s.
What is a "pure treble". The brilliance of a City fan claiming any sort of pure trophy is phenomenal.
you misspelled ass hatsThough do like saying “rag” and “dipper” don’t they?
Such an entitled bunch of @#%&€$s
1940 apparentlyHave we lost 5 in a row at any point since Fergie left? I’d be surprised if we hadn’t
You can say that about every transfer.It’s not their total layout to purchase (excluding wages) though is it?
So it isn’t what he cost them to obtain.
Let’s not be daft
Yup. It’ll be a cold day in hell before I recognise their treble as legitimate. We remain the only English team to have won the treble legitimately. feck the Bertie cnuts and their Mickey Mouse treble.A treble reeking of oil and won off the back of unprecedented, industrial scale cheating.
And aside from all of that, they bored most of the world to death in achieving it and most people can barely remember it now, not even 2 years on.
It will never surpass United's treble and they know it.
Yep. Won the CL in a season where they weren't even meant to be in the competition in the first place. Pity the ban didn't stick.Yup. It’ll be a cold day in hell before I recognise their treble as legitimate. We remain the only English team to have won the treble legitimately. feck the Bertie cnuts and their Mickey Mouse treble.
