    No doubt. That has to be frustrating. I can only imagine. I will say the issue is that it very well appears there are legitimate reasons to be concerned about further spread during our match together and no tests could reveal for certain that the game could be played safely.

    Fair statement. I know it is difficult for some to understand, especially if you're not a City supporter, but there is a perception that City from the fans that the club are seen differently than everyone else. We're "more likely" to: - Cheat (although go ask Liverpool about when they hacked...

    I do and hear that as a real reason for being frustrated. The PL did a poor job on this no doubt. If City didn't do right I would be 100% ready to criticise btw. I mentioned yesterday that I tried to raise this with City fans by asking questions about protocols to understand how this could...

    You asked me if "I'm a real fan," so that threw me off and sometimes better to just play along with humour if that's what you meant. Also, yesterday I wasn't treated so kindly so to be honest (it's okay, I get it), so was treading lightly. Also in sport and many other things, the question/test...

    I saw this before, but you get that this isn't sensible if spread is a real risk? There are false negatives in COVID tests that happen right after you contract it. The spread had just happened so it's possible there were others who have it that no tests could reveal in time for the game to be...

    Did it? I genuinely thought you were being tongue-in-cheek mate. I can answer, sure, but the "am I a real fan" seemed like a joke. my apologies if I was wrong.

    Was chuffed to bits when Yaya threw a tantrum over me back then. Memories.... I jest, of course, but actually do appreciate some of what you say even as a cry baby, obtuse minded City supporter foolish enough to come back here (with good intentions). I also think it was the correct, and safety...

    Grabbing IP addresses and then without evidence posting that as a jab at someone for where they are allegedly from, which also plays to “outsider” attitudes about what makes a “real fan.” I came here to discuss and have an exchange and I can barely recall one poster responding other than...

    I will say I can see why you all are frustrated with what happened as well. Wish none of it had happened so we could have just played the match. It’s not good for us, btw, long term as City will have to play at least 2 games every week for the rest of the season, and a good chance of 3 games...

    That last statement is not accurate at all. I’m not here because I disagree with City fans and “desperately” defend the club. I am here to hear your side, because I am genuinely curious and maybe will learn something I am not aware of to get a clearer picture. I want to be fair. I believe I...

    City fans feel EXTREMELY victimised from the media over the years, and of course going back to issues with United’s fans treatment towards them for generations, but very much also about the feeling about how the club is portrayed. So whenever something seems like it plays into that fans get...

    Why is there so much distrust of the PL, if I am understanding this? You would almost have to assume that there would be malicious intent here, and let’s not leave out the safety concerns. It strikes me as a bit sad that all we are talking about is the competitive part of this story as if the...

    Ok. I see. Appreciate hearing your side. That’s why I’m here actually. So the issue, or claim, is that City didn’t share some info with Everton or they were not “involved” in the decision. It was the PL with City. Just curious. Is it possible, just possible, that a big reason Spurs were, as...

    Not sure how that was how you can take what I’ve written. Everton are in their right, sure, but there’s a lot of complexity about doing so publicly and the way they did, and there are other reasons to consider/criticise this given safety. The way the statement was written and decided to be...

    That would be fair enough if that’s true. I’d love to believe that. Honestly. But I also don’t know why one would assume that. Isn’t this a public relations campaign to garnish empathy and make both the PL and what seems like City look bad? Why no positive words towards City about the cases...

    No need to go there. I’m a City supporter who is not always 100% blindly in support of the club. We are not all alike. Few if any fans/clubs/entities are really saints in all this and what goes on in globalised football if you ask me, but that’s another conversation.

    Respectfully curious here. Why are we assuming the worst of City? Is that more important than the safety issue and with the fixture congestion + bank holiday how could this have been prevented? City announced Jesus and Walker on Christmas. Then it was the weekend/bank holiday/Boxing Day...
