Have to say I do like oasis and noel gallagher high flying birds but noel gallagher really is an arrogant cunt as a city fan. Thinks he knows the game and probably cant kick a ball straight. A lot of fans out there like that.

The way I see it is same old really we lost we are out it's forgotten.They blew us away really could have been 3 or 4 we didn't really have a shot being the home side. We are a top 6 side that's about it

Yeah we were 2nd best all night. The stats showed that but we are better than a top 6 side and we will comfortably prove that come the end of the season.
Their best chances came from 2 bad peh mistakes. Tbh they created fuck allThe way I see it is same old really we lost we are out it's forgotten.They blew us away really could have been 3 or 4 we didn't really have a shot being the home side. We are a top 6 side that's about it
Its clearly interfering with the keeper
We beat the press loads actually. Its the ball into our forward players that killed us.
Yeah the worst part is that we had two defenders close to the ball and somehow Ake beats them both to it.
We weren't losing until the 87th minute.
If he'd brought on Santiago on 85 and we'd lost what do you think the reaction would have been?
Furthermore the crowd were calling for Maddison from 35 minutes. Obviously football fans are, by and large, idiots, but you'd think more of them would have known that after 3 and 1/2 months out and one training session, Maddison was always going to be next to useless in any game let alone playing against the best technical and hardest pressing side in the world.
He’s honestly not worth anyone’s time. Mr negativity the moment we lose any game. I don’t reply to his nonsense anymore frankly
What made it worse last night in the 2nd half was another ‘tactical foul’ and Tierney could quite easily have played advantage as we were on the attack in a good position but no he blew up, stopped play and let them reset!
So no advantage to us and, once again, their tactical foul was successful

My post irrelevant on a private message board ? I don't know if I'll ever be able to get over it. For the record I pay to watch Spurs and Ange gets paid for the same privilege and it his job to face the scrutiny of the media and look them in the eye when doing so man up ffs!
Tbh I don't watch pre match pressers and rarely watch post match but someone asked me a while back (about a dozen matches ago) why Ange always looks down when being interviewed? I hadn't noticed before and I'm pretty sure he didn't do it in the beginning and doesn't appear to do it pre match when sat down for those pressers so why after every game? Wish it hadn't been brought to my attention because he does every fecking time after the game and it is annoying. No more than that though and certainly no more than an observation rather than a criticism, I am still 100% behind AP and make no apologies for not taking the time to explain the grammatical difference between irk and ire.
Can't fault them really, it's one of those shitty games that don't go right. I thought we played well really but let ourselves down in attack.
No cohesion or fluency. The break surely didn't help but some credit to city they didn't make it easy. I think there was a bias in refereeing that was not there when we had the 3-3. No complaints in that game but this game it was like the ref wanted to give them every possible advantage.
Numerous 'tactical' fouls unpunished. This isn't a small issue because that is many attacks that are stopped by fouls, that need to be recognised and punished. Also, repeated fouling seems to not be an issue for say Silva or Rodri. It's perfectly fine.
Udogie gets booked for kicking Silva, moments later Walker does similar, maybe more deliberate foul on Udogie, no booking.
Cunt ref kept stopping us taking quick free kicks. How the fuck only 5 minutes given at the end, and the VAR stoppage did not get taken into account, so VAR ate most of those 5 mins. Of course a dodgy goal as well, the sort that dippers or city would not get given against.
These are not reasons why we lost, that is down to us. However when you are up against a team as strong City, and those factors are also against you, it makes it much more difficult. Can't afford an off day in any part of the pitch.
It's a shame our final third play wasn't as good as normal.
A cunty result but our lads gave their all. I hope they can shake off the rustiness in attack and get back to scoring ways next game.

We did play well overall against top notch opposition and I don't think that can be denied, particularly when their winner fell in the dubious goal category. Where the (my) frustration comes in is in front of goal,1, yes one feckin attempt.
Stats like that, at home, will therefore only make you open to a reverse regardless who we are playing and sadly we got what we deserved.
‘Aint winning Fuck all’
so you think we will win something. Glad you’ve changed your tune.
They said that to make you feel a bit better about result. Good mates by sounds of it but was a below par performance.
No of course not. But we got beaten by a better team on the back of draw that could have been kinder. We didn’t play particularly well, but they’re better than us. We also missed our star forward and 2 key midfielders as well as Maddison not being fit.
This is why I hate the 22 years one cup bollocks as if all those seasons are exactly the same. Finishing 14th vs the poch years of top 2 finishes and reaching the CL final. Even the year we won the fuckin league cup we had a shit league finish.
Seasons need to be judged in context. The last 22 years have not all been the same.
