They have to live with the fact their owners are war criminals responsible for genocide in Yemen.

I ‘met’ some of their fans at a motorway service station once. Morality is just the baddie in Sherlock Holmes to them. Utter scum they were.

That's only the half of it though. 

It's the salaries that probably dwarf that figure. 

They are probably on average on £10m a year each, 5 year contracts. 

So another £550m needed for the wages. 

Very true. It's actually sickening. We spent a lot to just stay in the league and build a squad. The cost of our spend is of course inflated by Grealish.

Oh well, back down to earth. 

Always expected the loss let’s just keep the score down now. 

Really need to get something against Leicester on Sunday otherwise we’ll be looking at 3 defeats in a row with Liverpool after.

We have been second best across the board but why do so many people fail to recognise the performance of the opposition in creating this situation ? As hard as it is to take they are better than us and making it very hard for our players to get going. Also some of our big signings appear to be sh*t.

True, very true, but regardless we have money to spend and have spent. Just need to spend more, and on better quality.

they also have a couple of years of being at the top that acts as a bit of incentive for the top cream

Yeah Man City are really good. And they seem smug about it so it's annoying, but why can blame them and tbf they work bloody hard too. Very disciplined and extremely well coached. 

At least we can say they've scored two excellent goals to get ahead - of course we can still find faults from our side for both, but really we've done alright to hold them off at times when they've been absolutely throttling us in our defensive third. 

Bloody frustrating that we've messed up the final ball on a couple of great counter attacks particularly when they could clearly be got at. But we'll learn from this hopefully.

2-0 down.

 

As good as cash has been this season, his attacking lack of common sense is unbelievable.  
 

just roll the damn thing into Buendia, why are you playing it far post??? 

Bailey ffs, just lay the damn thing off.

And whoever did the medical on this guy needs shooting.

Anf for the love of god, why are we playing keep ball in our own 6 yard box???!
