Had to bring our A game today, to get something out of the game and unfortunately didn't. However even with our A game, we would have struggled when the ref gives such a biased performance like that. At the very least, if theirs was a pen, ours definately was. Also Milner was lucky to stay on the pitch after his 'tackle'. But in all truth city deserved the win, our second half performance just like on Monday, left a lot to be desired. But all in all a decent start to the season and many positives.

He considered Everton. Indeed he considered both the Liverpool clubs along with Newcastle and Spurs...

Not many outside MCFC know this, but just days before Sheikh Mansour bought the club we where hanging on a by a thread, we were days away from going into administration. Our previous owner, Thaksin Shinawatra had all his assets frozen and he put every player on our books up for sale. Legend goes we couldn't even afford to pay for the paint to mark out the pitch.

Not only did Sheikh Mansour buy the club, but he wiped all our debts clean and put forward plans to build an amazing youth academy. He also the club is based around the local community. He quite literally saved our club.

No cos your pyar bells.

I'm not even gonna try and guess what that means. City are the same club we have always been. The only thing that has changed is others opinions of us, but i guess when you go from yoyo club to competing at the top via a mega rich owner, that's bound to happen.

I've been following City for 30 years. I see the same faces that i've always seen at the matches around me.

I have no problem with City getting the investment (obviously I would of preferred us to get it) a lot of there fans have been through the mill so deserves the good times they are getting now.
It could of been far worse if the ****e had got that level of funding and at least City have broken the mold on the Sky top four Man Utd,Chelsea Arsenal and the Franchise.

I don't feel many could begrudge city being the club that struck gold with the shieks millions, after all you have had the success of united rammed down your throats. City have always enjoyed fantastic support, you only have to look at your attendances whilst out of the top flight. However an element of your club lacks class and jibes like Everton playing city is their cup final, illustrates this perfectly as before the takeover city could only dream about playing in cup finals let alone winning them. I think you set up is better now, Gary cook was an embarrassment to the club. However although he is not flavour of the month with all city fans,
Pelligrini is a widely respected coach in football and will bring stability that was lacking under manchini.
 
The way we played today we would have beaten all sides away bar the top 6. But then we had the same issues with Moyes albeit for different footballing reasons

A lot of that is just sung in pure Jest though mate. I think that stems from the whole Lescott saga where there was genuine animosity between both sets of fans which in turn revved up the rivalry on the field. All we ever cared about was beating Man United, but when we played you guys during that period you seemed to REALLY want to get one over on us, (and you usually did) Hence the whole "cup final" Bull Sh*t. It genuinely felt like it.

I've heard a few cringe worthy songs coming from the home and away ends since our takeover... The worse one from our fans was "we'll buy your club, and burn it down"... I always hated that one and in our credit it didn't last more than a matter of months before we binned it.

The one that really gets me every time though is "Where were you when you were sh*t!"... It is sung to our fans from every single set of opposition fans, without fail, every game since the takeover. I mean if there was ever a set of fans you can't really sing that to surely it's City fans?
 
Think its fair to say that Kone just looks lost.
Always love MCFC tunnel cams and its a bonus when we are on!
Glad to see DEULOFEU having a laugh at around 3;10 also for some of you who think he doesn't like his time here
