Fuck off mate, this was an Iceland level shit performance. Pulled a piece of magic out in the 95th minute and thinks that undoes it all. This siege mentality against their own fans is a ridiculous approach to the tournament when they're playing so badly.

Imagine if you told City fans in 2009 that, in just over a decade, the manager who just humiliated United in Rome would be singing "LA LA LA LAAAAA, CITY" after winning a 3rd consecutive League Cup for City with his arm around a MOTM from Stockport. You'd have been sectioned.
City had possibly the most mental offside decision go against them last season in the derby at Old Trafford and somehow didn't feel the need to release a club statement. Very odd.
This is why every fan in the country hates these dogshit referees. This was given as a foul BY Haaland. A week later a less offensive challenge has been given as a foul by the keeper. It's an absolute joke.

🗣️ "He's accusing the other 19 clubs in the Premier League as driving these charges against City"
Melissa Reddy explains Pep Guardiola's press conference where he spoke for the first time since Manchester City were charged by the Premier League.
Let's be honest, how are any of us really meant to judge Ake as a defender when he's virtually always played with Mendy to the left of him? He's being exposed constantly by a shit full-back.

I know this clearance will go down in City history but the alternate timeline where a Stones clearance bouncing off Ederson and into the net is how we lost the title to Liverpool is a world I wouldn't want to live in.
Sounds like Klopp has given Pochettino a call and asked him to put in a bid in order to get the Liverpool board to get more serious about signing Lavia. Happens all the time this, I hear.
🚨 Southampton have tonight received offer from Chelsea for Romeo Lavia.

It's almost as if winning 5 out of 6 titles in the most lucrative and most viewed league in the world, getting to two champions league finals and multiple semi finals, winning half a dozen domestic trophies and having the best manager in the world makes you a valuable club.
To me this just screams that United are actually very confident that nothing will come of the charges. Why would you hire the ex-Head of Sponsorships of potentially the biggest cheat job in PL history if you think there's a chance they're found guilty?
As for the people saying that Berrada getting out is indicative of City being found guilty of the 115 charges, he’s been at City since 2011 and has worked as Head of Sponsorship.
If City get found guilty, it’s probably not ending well for him either.
I do genuinely feel sorry for Man City fans that supported the club pre takeover
They’ve completely lost that club and will never get it back
Some will pretend to support the current ownership, but the sensible ones know deep down it’s a horror show
They’re trapped.
I refuse to believe that West Ham, a club that barely avoided relegation last year, has a midfield worth over £200m. The market is absolutely on its arse.

People who are kids now probably see him as City but in the general footballing world he's too much of a Barca man. Played for them for years, managed the peak Messi/Xavi/Iniesta/Busquets era, changed football completely with that tiki taka side. It's too iconic compared to us.
Convinced this cunt goes home and watches Kompany v Leicester on repeat and has convinced himself it's easy. What the fuck has he seen/done to warrant having 25 yard pot shots when we need a goal late in the game?
I might be clutching here, but I 100% absolutely refuse to believe that Haaland doesn't know what everybody's going to think if he turns up at the Lowry with a sky blue backpack.
This serves no purpose other than to rile up every United fan ahead of the derby next week and make City fans look bad in the aftermath of a noteworthy death. We've all seen the videos and it's a few people in the concourse and nothing more. Ridiculous reaction.
The Premier League is appalled to hear reports of chanting related to Sir Bobby Charlton at yesterday’s game at Etihad Stadium.
We welcome Manchester City seeking information on those responsible and will support any subsequent action.
Feels surreal this. Never thought we'd genuinely get this done but here we are. Shows how highly Pep rates Gundogan that he's brought him back at the first sniff of the ability to do so.

Is it a coincidence that we've moved Bernardo out of midfield for the first time in a long while for two games, and in both games we've looked a lot worse than usual? No.
The worst thing about this goal is that we'll genuinely never see it again. I guarantee every future instance of that exact type of goal happening, it will be deemed offside. It's just a freakishly shit decision that has happened to City.
That Fernandes goal sets a dangerous precedent for strikers - who know they’re offside - chasing after balls and stretching defences, just to let a teammate take the shot.

Given our short-term need for somebody who can cover both the 6 and the 8, this feels like it'd be criminal not to seriously consider on the club's part.
🚨🚨🌕| BREAKING: Ilkay Gundogan’s future at FC Barcelona is UNCERTAIN. The club does NOT consider him an essential player & his departure would free up a lot of salary space.

Aguero is always gonna be the player we have the most emotional connection with because he pretty much gave us the emotional peak of our lives. So sad that his career has had to end like this.
I don't want to point any fingers here when we don't know the full details, but I think we can all agree Kyle Walker broke Oscar Bobb's leg and his contract should be terminated immediately.
Behdad Eghbali worked tirelessly on the Fernandez deal today but that's also some effort by Chelsea's new recruitment team to get a British record transfer over the line on deadline day, having already done all those other deals in their first window together. Bodes v well.

I’m falling out of love with football, and that’s not because of United, I love United - win/lose/tie.

On a serious note, us winning the title but still contriving to lose this game kind of sums up our season. We'll still beat you over a 38 game league but in certain individual games across this season we've been so shit.
Stones at fault for the Villa goal and got sent off but if you're going to write off how good he's been for the last 6 months off the back of this one performance then I don't know what to say.
"So what do you make of the red card?"
"Ha. You know, I thought you would ask that. 90 minutes of football and THAT is your first question, eh?"
"It was a significant moment, Jürgen..."
"I feel great. I am ecstatic he got a red card. I am sorry, what do you expect me to say?"
John Stones gets injured and rather than bring in one of the two world class centre-backs to replace him, we move the guy playing pretty well at LB central and change the entire back four instead. It's no wonder we're a fucking shambles defensively so much this season.
Manchester City are one win away from the Premier League title, but there is a backdrop of over 100 FFP-related charges hanging over them.
▪️ What are they accused of?
▪️ What punishments could they face?
▪️ Could it impact this season?
