If more than 2 of that list leave this summer i'll be shocked.
We are fucking useless at selling our unwanted players, let alone buying adequate replacements. Danny Rose is still a Spurs player FFS.
City picked a first team against us.Against the Chavs they didn't.
0.04 xG in a final
There's the filling in the shit sandwich that is this season.
Fucked again by the comedy twosome of Aurier and Sissoko. An absolute Aurier classic with a pointless foul around the box and Sissoko flat footed when the cross comes in.
Overall another flat performance in a big game.. we really have fallen a long way in the last few years it's so depressing. City are a very good side but we didn't find a way to trouble them AT ALL.

It was nil nil when Sissoko came on.A goal down and Sissoko in for LoCelso?
And the other thing Reguilon by same logic should have 2 yellow cards before Laporte should have got his second, and in that scenario we would have probably sacrificed Moura and Laporte therefore wouldn't have committed foul on him anyway.
It is also very big assumption that if either had got the first yellow, they would have committed the second offence anyway.
To me it is looking for a scapegoat/excuse whereas in reality we were just outclassed by a much better team than us, and didn't really give it a go, which was the most disappointing thing about it. Would have preferred losing 3-0 going for it, than 1-0 lamely
Because by fouling someone you’re going against the rules of the game hence getting a free kick which is supposed to be a punishment and a deterrent
So it is cheating
By getting a free kick you don’t necessarily regain the advantage as Pep’s teams well know
Whenever a team breaks against them they foul the player doing it to stop them getting an advantage
They cheat in other words
But Pep is clever so they rotate who is committing the fouls to reduce the risk of getting any cards
Sometimes this doesn’t work and they risk a player getting sent off as La Porte should have done today and would have had the referee been doing his job
He wasn’t and had a shocker
So cheating pays off and is another aspect of modern day football which is ruining the game
You hear commentators condoning it as you are now trying to do
They say things like “oh he took one for the team “ or “it was a good foul to make “ or “he knew what he was doing “ etc etc etc
In other words ‘cheating’!!!
I really didn’t think that I’d have to explain something like this to you but it seems that I do
So you enjoy the way the modern game is going and I suppose you enjoyed what City did today
Shame!
I get what you’re saying and I can’t stand them either but if it had been the other way round?
I stand corrected, but it sure felt like we were 3 down.
Nuclear war.
That's down to the ref not doing his job properly. Everyone in the media wanks themselves silly over pep and Manchester oil barons but every match they use tactical fouling to stop the opposition if the refs were any good they'd book every challenge. This cunt didnt. Dont get me wrong we were shite today but I cant give any plaudits to a team built on dodgy oil money that should be winning everything. I'd like to see pep do what he does without buying his way to tainted glory
Imagine mourinho making that decision.A goal down and Sissoko in for LoCelso?
You just know they are going to win the EL. Hit the final against Man Utd. Pogba, Cavani and Fernandes will turn into the three stooges and A-boomerang will get a freakish tap in off Lindelof's buttocks.
Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest. Arteta has been hopeless yet could end winning two trophies in as many years. Would be the fucking crowning glory to a horrendous season
He did beat them to be fair. 2-0Jose couldn’t beat Zagreb but he woulda beat city today
Outplayed and outclassed by a far superior team on the day but we made so easy for them by being so passive. The mindset should be go all out for the win its a final ffs not trying to soak up the pressure and hope for a lucky break.
