St. Maximin

More than happy for them to enjoy it. No need for it to be just us threatening the so called big 6 - good for the game in general. I’m sure fans of those teams were often happy for us and didn’t just want Liverpool to win.

Sorry I just can’t get why people want to see City win stuff It’s so boring and we’ve already had our big win. Surely football goes beyond just what is supposedly good for us (and I’m not sure it makes a difference anyway). You look at how impressive those scenes were yesterday and so many fans of other clubs have been genuinely happy for us and enjoyed seeing teams win stuff fir the first time in many years, fans going crazy etc. Yeah you won’t see any of that with City. Just the same old.

Yeah, I agree with all that - and Gayle’s comments were all measured (unlike Bruce’s salty response). More saying on a personal note the timing didn’t seem right, but that’s not a criticism on anyone else. We all saw what he was like as a manager and it’s still a good thing these comments from Gayle have come to light.

I know I’m being a right pedant but that’s not a direct quote. He did imply this though and said plenty of unpleasant things about Rafa too. Bruce did recommend Howe though apparently. So we should really be thanking him as the main reason we won the Carabao Cup.

Not a criticism of anyone; just saying personally the timing doesn’t feel right. He hasn’t tbf, so can just stick to criticising all the crazy things he has done and said. It’s good these things have still come out from Dwight fwiw - given we were told how nasty we all were in that empty stadium to such a nice bloke, proper footballing man etc.

Not wanting to sound preachy… but it kind of feels wrong laughing at the bloke now given his tragic family situation (which has led to a criminal investigation). But with this though, Gayle hasn’t said anything unpleasant. He’s just confirmed the Hope stuff was true (and that there was clearly a mole) as well as providing some other eye-opening insights into what a chancer this bloke is. He doesn’t have this level of hatred because he’s a terrible manager (even though he is), but because he’s a terrible bloke.

You didn't dream it - was Sowunmi, the centre-back who is also pretty massive. I watch Bromley a bit as a I live near and seems like their fans loved their visit (Londoners love the Toon).

Few greater sights than Bruno winning a throw-in late on and celebrating passionately. The man gets it.

19 goals/assists in 36 games. Doesn’t do much apart from score and create goals, but something about what the Romans ever did for us spring to mind…

Ultimately if it wasn’t intentional, it certainly looks it and there’s no clear slip, so it would be wrong for the ref to do otherwise. Often you just have to trust your gut and you can’t always give the player the benefit of the doubt. Then kicking out afterwards really didn’t help his cause either.

Think we should sack him and get Rafa in while there’s a chance.

Great effort for those plucky underdogs to earn a point there. Well done City.

Can’t be having quality teams like Liverpool mixing things up to win the league. Need City to find some form and win for the fifth year in a row.

18 goals/assists in 35 games since the start of last season. Decent 🫡

I’ve been keen to defend him (we’ll go some extent) because I’m from that kind of background and have family and friends who are both Christian and conservative, so feel I can offer a different perspective on how they think. Bit odd I know as I’ve been agnostic for years and don’t like a lot about religion. Said way more than I expected mind, but I keep disagreeing with people and vice versa
