Bluemoon goes into Meltdown

[Oranges038]

I agree but they've also spent nearly 800m euro in the transfer market the last four seasons and the only world class player they've managed to pull out of that is Haaland, who was already a known world class quantity in Germany. Its not like they've just been riding the same squad the entire time. They've been trying to find and develop the next generation its just really hard to find world class players. Maybe players like Gvardiol or Savinho could get there but so far they haven't been able to find players of the quality of the generation they are phasing out.

What key players has he successfully replaced at City with a better or equal?

Rodri for Fernandinho
Haaland for Aguero

That's about it.

You can throw in Bernardo for David Silva or Dias for Kompany. Maybe they weren't quite as good but still really really top class players.

But I think your point still stands and that's what I'm also saying. Its just really hard to replace world class players unless you're Real Madrid and you de facto get first choice on every budding superstar. This is one of the big reasons that football seems cyclical.

All these great supporters left early to go onto bluemoon and rant and rave?

thats rough on those fans to be fair, one minute theyre cheering the likes of hazard and drogba - then next their getting mocked at the bernebeu

Considering what a twattish thing to do that is, I thought the city responses were fairly measured

The guy at 15 seconds is my favourite. He was definitely supporting Lampard and Drogba not long ago.

You can replace them, but it has to be gradually, one or two players a season being phased in. So you can maintain a high level, it's what Madrid do and have done for a long time, they just buy a player who sorts a position for about 10 years, then a few years before that, buy the next guy who'll take over.

Palmer is the one they should have given the last 2 seasons to take over from KDB. Marmoush is now expected to just pick up that mantle from the off. Selling Alvarez looks like a poor move now.

They also needed someone to phase in for Walker. Doku is poor. Grealish has been a flop. Kovacic has been poor. Savinho looks promising but he's another that should have been phased in.

Ederson is done, you can see that his head is not in it, so many goals conceded where he's just been been caught in no man's land, whereas previously he would have swept up.

Why was @duffer at the match?

A older chap with the cigarette the best for me, straight to the point and honest.

 

[No Idea For Nickname]

Bit bored at work...

Micah Richards

He's not a pundit, he's there for banter.

Micah is an idiot, but a rich one so he's happy.

He's completely sold out unfortunately. Even when ratboy and spitty will say negative about their clubs it will be because they have their best interest at heart. Micah has realised where the money is and its not being the guy that's gonna back City with his back against the wall, that would be suicidal if he wants to further his career.

Got to give to him. He's earning a fortune for just sitting acting like a buffoon.

Why this clown is still our TV personality is beyond me.

As for Micah… always been an Arsenal fan, traitor to the North supporting a Cockney team he never played for.

A shallow, impressionable, clown whose insight, football intelligence, and broadcasting delivery style is negligible and nauseating.

...

That's actually punditry for fecking idiots, they ain't arguing, it's all pre planned bollocks to get feckwits talking.

Yup. Clearly stage managed and partially rehearsed, with info and stats being fed to them. Micah probably doesn’t even know which teams are playing, let alone having a clue about tic-tacs (sorry, tactics).

He has admitted he uses City to get his tv gig

What an utter fake, sly **** this guy is.

He literally says it in that clip for a laugh.

fecking ****. Best thing we did was give Zabaleta his place and bin this sicknote dickhead off.

Joe Hart is Head and Shoulders above him in every aspect of punditry and Hart is actually getting praises hopefully going forward it’s Hart who gets prominence over this good for only laughing Micah

Micah is an embarrassment to himself as much as anything else, being laughed at not laughed with….

Its just another Sky angle on trying to belittle City honestly how many ex City players out there could they use and the choose this Idiot who isnt even arsed about you anyway

The Gen Zzzzzzzzzzzs in wih the money defence no doubt - such is their analytical validation. The great Mammon, plus "likes" and "followers". Forget integrity.

Thick **** doesn't even understand the implications of what he has said

He is completely cringe. That advert he does for We Buy Any Cars makes me want to throw up my skeleton. I'm glad he supports Arsenal, it means that we don't have to compromise ourselves and feel dirty trying to defend anything he does...ever.

I used to like having him on TV. Can't stand him now.

City success gave him this career he has. He should be repaying that by at least knocking carragher out.

I only see him over here doing Champion's League stuff on Paramount+ with Thierry Henry, Kate Abdo and Jamie Carragher.

He's fecking horrible. Total fake-laughing twat always trying to cover for the fact he has no insight worth the name.

A fat clown who embarrasses himself every time he opens his mouth !!

A common theme -:
Richards
Rashford
Sturridge
Sancho.

Thick,overpaid,overated, bling gangstas with failed careers.

Perfect for TV analysts !!

...

Didn't we all know he was an Arsenal fan already?

Yes
But he basically said he supports City to get the TV gig

...

We’ve seen Carragher in a rag shirt. We’ve seen Micah in a rag shirt. You better believe you’ll never see Neville or Keane in a City shirt. Why those two plonkers wore that crap (for the money to keep their masters happy) is beyond me.

The Diehard Toffee wore a dipper shirt for 20 years

Also spits at kids so I shouldn’t be surprised

Well we all know big Meeks or whatever stupid name he wants to call himself isn’t a blue.
He was happily referring to ARSEnal as ‘we’ and saying he wanted them to win the league for the last 2 seasons.

Let’s face it he would have probably played in a rag shirt if he got the chance.

How this clown is still a club ambassador is beyond me.

..

He's a ****. Not even a funny ****.
Class clown long worn off on me. Couldn't analyse a turd Micah the tarquin ****

That act wore thin in about 2012 when he was arsing about making videos on the city YouTube channel while "injured" with that other bell end "Chappy".

I realise I'm repeating myself on here slagging these two dickheads off but they got on my nerves back then and they get on my nerves now...

...

I like him and think he's a good pundit.

How? He never stands up for City, just does what he’s fecking told. Sucks up to fecking Roy Keane of all people, all round twat.

...

After reading his autobigraphy I would surmise that he couldn't give a shit as long as the money appears in his bank account.

You've read Micah Richards' autobiography?

That's more than Micah Richards has done I suspect.

...

He offers absolutely nothing in terms of tactical comments, at least Neville says things during a match that you think..."didn't spot that" or "yeah, he's probably right". Micah has nothing to say about tactics, can't see anything in a game. Sums up much of modern media, just a loud shouty voice, with zip all substance..

Sums up most of his playing career.

...

aaand the Winner is:

Just Keane's woman.

 

[Glorio]

That guy "why are you rubbing it in" what a twat.

Because he is in fact rubbing it in!

 

[SuperiorXI]

They're seething about Micah Richards, so insecure, paper thin backbones to go with their non existant morality.

City - Liverpool, pre match thread

Their defence can be got at but I feel they have too much in attack for our poor defence to cope with, plus their speed of play and press v our midfield. Hopefully we go toe to toe with them with our pacy attack and be as clinical as we were v Newcastle but with Pep you know it will probably be a few slow oaps in midfield. Probably playing against 13 with the match officials also.

I genuinely feel the Newcastle tactic will be great for us in the league. Madrid are the best in the world and we had no prayer tonight.

Go into Sunday with a positive, front-foot mentality and we’ll be mint IMO.

Bloody scouse twats get given a penalty every game so we’ll already be starting a goal down. Salah never gets fecking injured either.

Hopefully Haaland’s back because having him as a distraction for Marmoush and Savinho is key for the tactic.

Sick of these mix bag of emotions this season. I thought we could get something tonight after Newcastle and we’ve been truly humbled tonight.

Arsenal or Liverpool for the title, couldn’t really give a feck who wins it as I hate them both. So come on City and smash the scouse feckers.

Let's cancel.....say we can't put a team out (births/weddings/bar mitzvah etc) and give them a 3-0 walk over.

** just for those who might think I'm being negative.....this is a joke **

Their energy will kill us, expecting a loss here. We need to see some sort of reaction though like we did against Newcastle.

Time for us to do the game raising. They always got a result against us when they were having an off season.

Another humbling on the cards for us.

We might nick a draw v Spurs then batter Plymouth. Everyone will be running around waving flags and everything saying we're back.

Only for Forest to bring us crashing back down to earth a week later!!

Those Scouse bastards won't know what's hit him.

You're welcome Arsenal.

How about talking about scousers' record on our patch. When was the last time they won? 2016? They shit the bed when they come Manchester way

Sounds like they had a tough night at Villa Park, so at least they won't be completely fresher than us.

Theyve not lost away all season so law of averages I am going with a City win.

A battering I'm afraid.......hope I'm wrong but can't see past a clear 3 goal defeat.......sorry so depressed after that bag of bollocks served up against Madrid.

VAR: Stuart Attwell. Dyed in the wool corrupt Attwell hasn't reffed a City game this season. Had my money on him reffing the derby and the dipper games. They must just put him on VAR now.

Our old friend Anthony Taylor in charge, which doesn't augur well - although you'd think he hates Liverpool as much as us ?

Pep hasn't lost a league game to Liverpool at Etihad. Arsenal will be right back in the title race (if they aren't already) after this game.

Liverpool always raised their game against us despite their shite form. Now it is our turn. Even the rags got something against them when they were dominant.

Blues are funny. We hammer a (poor on the day) Newcastle side and everyone thinks we're going to do the same against Real. A (very good on the day) Real hammer us and we all assume the dippers are going to destroy us.
Rinse and repeat.....

Newcastle was as poor as chelsea was against us. Yesterday was the real test and city was miles off reals pace, big improvement needed to get a win on sunday.

“Best team in the world” is all i keep hearing, bollocks. I actually think we’ll give them a good hiding.

Liverpool have looked fecked the past few games. Players look very tired all of a sudden.

We have a better chance then some think.

We are going to win 4-0 possibly more.

Because that's what City do. We aren't title rivals so all the pressure is on the dips.

We could still finish 2nd the way Arsenal bottle it.

There's no reason we can't beat the dippers. Last night we didn't look interested. Scousers ain't that good. Which City will turn up only God knows. All depends who Pep picks. I'm going for a draw.

Whilst we're utter shite for our standards, these are not the great side the fawning media will tell you. I reckon The Right Reverend for this one.

feck Arsenal but I'd rather they win it than LiVARpool.

...

Liverpool are a weird cult and we need to twat them.

but come may if it ain't forrest, feck me I prefer these oddballs over the Arse as their fans are cnuts

ABA. - anyone but arsenal*

*rags not included

Give your head a fecking wobble.
And you’re all weird as feck with memories of a goldfish.

my memory is fine

A club headed letter wanting us as a club destroyed and despatched from the league emails to the governing bodies demanding investigations against us.
this trumps one scrote not even going to a game throwing a bottle of koppenberg at our coach.

Arsenal as a club want us to be fecked over and removed, they are bigger cnuts than anyone bar the rags

anyone wanting arsenal to win the league is happpy with their agenda against our owners and club imho. Liverpool are clowns not worth my energy.

Who to hate more. Decisions, decisions. :-) despise the pair of them for different reasons.

Throughout this 'Destroy City' campaign the dippers have been acting in the shadows possibly connected to the hacking case.

However, they are front and centre along with the other yank cabal.

We have royally fecked up little woods in the last decade and they have been feeling it !!

...

Liverpool conceded 2 goals vs. Everton and another 2 goals vs. Villa. They conceded many chances, too. They were solid at the back before Christmas but that has changed recently. Also, they were pathetic vs. Wolves and didn't have a shot in the entire 2nd half even though they played at home.

Currently, Real are better than Liverpool. They had bad periods earlier in the season when Liverpool were flying, but it's the opposite now.

If they played now I would definitely fancy Real to beat the scousers.

We will piss ourselves laughing as they will score at least 5 past them. Making our result look respectable.

...

The Real Madrid defeat should have no influence on Sunday.

Still need to show a little pride after the Real Madrid. Liverpool always found a way despite having an indifferent season.

We have played 11 games against Madrid, Arsenal and dippers since last season and we've won zero, we can't beat top teams anymore.

...

I want the scouse crushed and leaking confidence for the run up to the end of the season.

Quad my giddy arse.

They can’t do the quad anyway mate. They got knocked out of the FA Cup by….*checks notes*…Plymouth Argyle Formally Known As Wayne Rooney’s Plymouth Argyle.

...

Even if Arsenal win and we beat Liverpool they will still be 5 points clear with a game in hand, serious pressure?

It's Arselona that will have the game in hand mate

Those who know me know I am mostly pretty pessimistic when it comes to City.

But these victim bastards are there for the taking.

More often than not we get the better of them at ours, with the reverse true at Murderfield.

I am parking the Madrid result - a nothing game we had no hope of progressing from.

Our league form over the last month suggests that while City may not be "back" there's something there. Some grit and energy, especially with the new lads.

I see no reason why Marmoush and Gonzalez can't rip these benefit cheat rat munching bin dipping twats to pieces and Khusanov can snap a few limbs at the other end.

feck it let's 'ave it blues.

3 points and the full scale Scouse Spring wobble is on. We beat these vermin twats on Sunday and I'm wearing a full Arsenal kit til May.

Any of you lot who have drunk the Scouse revisionism Kool-aid and want them to win the league can feck right off. Absolute filth of a fanbase. Arsenal fans are a bit annoying but about 0.000001% as bad as these bus-bricking rival fan-murdering victim merchant twats.

Hahaha....Scouser Spring wobble.

I'm with you mate, let's do them.

Beautifully worded

Amen brother

 

[Oranges038]

Why this clown is still our TV personality is beyond me.

Well they do also have Danny Mills and eh... Joey Barton as their alternatives.

So maybe Micah isn't so bad after all.
