Manchester City vs Aston Villa match thread

[Martyn Smith]

We may not be able to compete with these but to not even try...

Yeah. I'm trying to convince myself that they are just better players and that there's nothing we can do to arrest this but I just can't...

[BC Villain]

This is a Steve Bruce performance

[JUAN PABLO]

Haaland not going on so it will be 6 not 10

Nothing would give me greater pleasure than Man City folding. Or being so heavily punished that they end up playing Sutton Town.

I cannot stand them. Or their wanky wanker fans. Bunch of plastic tossers. And as for Grealish, I genuinely hope someone ends his season in the 2nd half.

Yes I am annoyed. Pathetic from us though. We’re like a cat that rolls over and has its belly tickled despite hissing and growling.

Pathetic performance today. Simply pathetic

Couldn't help Mings being out but Emery has to take responsibility for the setup. I'm starting to detest this 4222 as much as Gerrard's 433.

[ROBBO]

As soon as I knew Chambers was in for Mings the game was over, did anyone expect different? I never believed we would get anything out of this game and so not that disappointed. Emery can't make a silk purse etc etc.

How the fuck can commentators say he's being clever, he knows what he's doing, he throws his leg out without calling him a cheating c@nt? 

He used to do it for us all the time and not many complained.

New to football PWa?

Ha no I get it, but he’s the least of our bloody problems.

[Somniloquism]

We weakened the squad in January.
Some absolutely bizzare decisions and as predicted they come back to haunt us

But Purslow said the club belongs in Europe and we have a drunk world cup winner so who are us paying peasants to complain

Feel sorry for those who have travelled up there today

You can tell we are losing when you are posting.

[Pat Mustard]

One last time for the hard of thinking. Everyone knows we need better players, no-one has ever disputed that. What those of us who think we are better waiting realise is that we could have spunked £100 million on players in January who will only cost £30 million in the summer. That’s £70 million then not available to buy other players we need. You would think we have seen enough pissing money up the wall over the last 20 years to realise it might not be the answer.

Oh, and those turning on Emery after two defeats just fuck off. This afternoon is depressing but hardly surprising given what’s happening at Man Shitty this week. It’s one game against a side that can do this to anyone, but with any luck and some balls from the authorities will be the last time they’re able to do it ever again.

[pauliewalnuts]

Yeah that legion of people turning on the manager.

[brontebilly]

No subs, ffs.

I bloody did!!!

[Legion]

Yeah that legion of people turning on the manager.

Leave me out of it!

[ROBBO]

January is when you buy players like Chambers, saying we missed an opportunity is just bollocks.

[Martyn Smith]

Konsa wtaf....
