Inside the Premier League they know City are bent. It’s spoken about freely. Let’s see if the lawyers can win the case.

De Bruyne off injured. Not sure how serious but helpful for us.

My wish for the season is that defences will have wised up and no longer allow themselves to be embarrassingly bitch slapped by Haaland and to be fair there’s been signs of that happening, I think it was 6 or 7 games in a row he’d gone without scoring before tonight.

I’m going to discount the hipsters favourite genius manager leaving him completely unmarked in the box tonight and still hope that the serous teams can do a number on him.

They're (BBC5Live & Drogon) that it's a Flare Up of his Hamstring problem from last season. Let's hope he's till after we play the Oil Pimped BeaheadingCunts?

Ah remember the days…..the way to stop Arsenal was to get stuck in, kick them, they don’t like it up em.

Strangely enough you never ever ever hear anyone advocating doing that to city. I don’t think I’ve ever even seen someone going in on Haaland, everyone just stands 5 yards off him and admires him from afar as he scores another.

Kicking, fouling and rough housing the opposition to stop them is only in vogue when it’s against us seemingly :roll:

I reckon they’ve lost a lot of their strength in depth. Any injuries and they should start to look threadbare.

Yes. These days it's all "how could anyone do that to Pep's team? What's wrong with them?" Fucking years of putting up with rabble rousing shit about kicking the shit out of us as a legitimate tactic and that other teams were somehow "entitled to play that way".

De Bruyne looks like he’s turned into a proper sick note which will definitely impact them as the season goes on.

Haaland missed chunks of every season with Dortmund through injury but of course was bullet proof last season, fingers crossed he’s luck doesn’t hold this year and he has a few spells out.

Cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuunts :twisted:

A massive game changer would be if Rodri was reffed like any other player in the Prem. He must be worth 6 points a season with the shite he gets away with.

Looks like we’ve been sold a massive pile of shit by sly sports about the hipster genius.

Rat face spent the the past week lauding the never before seen innovative methods he’d been told Burnley adopted in pre season yet here they are defending set pieces like it’s the women’s World Cup.

Fucking fraud, hope they go down with zero points.
