For how good Bournemouth where in the first half, they have been equally shit in this second. Looks like their legs have gone.


Funny how subbing a LB at HT can make such a big difference. Maybe Pardew was ahead of his time… :lol:

Was just saying that to my mate. Basically we had the wrong type of ref when we played Bournemouth.

 

Fair play still to Bournemouth of course their finishing was excellent on the day. The ref however suited their tactical fouling on the day.

 

Small margins.

 

They were much better than us and deserved to win

Personally, I don't like that there is a group of clubs with tiny support that are successful mostly due to being located in places that are desirable for players to live, which have pushed out well supported northern clubs. I don't think they're actually plucky underdogs.

My sentiments exactly. No fans, no soul, no decent song book, just the luck of geography. Brighton, Bournemouth, Brentford - they’re all “find and replace” clubs with each other’s names and the same story.

You could argue Spurs and Arsenal as well.

 

Spurs wouldn’t be as big as they are if they weren’t located in London.

Arsenal moved out of an area that they shared with Charlton, Millwall, Crystal Palace, and to a lesser extent West Ham. They moved into an area that they only shared with Spurs.

Arsenal being a London club who can pay higher salary was a factor that they could lure herbert Chapman to join their relegation threatened club, dumping his title winning squad in small huddersfield.

 

These lot now lecture about "financial doping"

So where does that leave 6th and 7th places then? Assuming City and Forest finish top 5, would both 6th and 7th be Europa or just 6th?

Not disagreeing. Just merely pointing out the fine margins in games. A different ref and us getting more fouls would’ve made a difference.

 

Actually just holding on to 1-1 until HT could’ve been enough. Reshape re group. However wasn’t to be and they scored a second just before HT.

 

Ran out worthy winners but everything they hit felt it went in.

That Nico O'Reilly is left footed, a big unit and classy on the ball. Would like nice on the right hand side for us.


He’s a holding midfielder I think.

It all depends on who wins the FA Cup.

If whoever wins it, already qualified for Europe, then it will drop down a place in the league, to 7th (assuming England get the extra Champions League place).

Yeah, I meant if City or Forest finish top 5, and either win the cup, it's EL for 6th and 7th? 

 

Didn't make it clear :thup:

Tend to agree. Location doesn't just attract players, but it attracts ownership groups in the first place. Don't get me wrong you can't really begrudge clubs being well ran but it does make the league a bit boring.

 

The same imbalance is happening in Italy (although the north/South divide is flipped). Small northern teams like Como, Venezia, Monza being bought out because of their location and cultural cache while bigger clubs in poorer regions flounder.

Sorry I just can’t get why people want to see City win stuff [emoji38]

 

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. 

Wouldnt mind it for forest or if Bournemouth had won

But fuck palace and fuck villa

Yeah, also if they finish 6th or 7th, the other team at 6-7th will get the other spot.

Are you thinking of Nico Gonzalez?


Nope. o’Reilly is definitely a holding midfielder.

He played the wing today and Man City's own website have him down as an attacking midfielder. But I don't really know.


Heard Matterface confirm it as well when he said he was playing out of position this afternoon. IMG_3468.jpeg.e17c028884534ed713a3341b10879a79.jpeg

This is his bio on man City's website.

 

"A player able to operate in a number of attacking positions, Nico has progressed right through the Manchester City age-groups since signing with the Academy aged eight.

 

An England youth international, Nico is most often deployed centrally as an attacking midfielder."
