He's an absolute moron, the 'ball' has nothing to do with it, it's a **** football ffs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 FWIW I have played with this ball a few times and it is utterly shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 You'd expect players like Aguero and Jesus to not be effected by a ball being at most, (very) slightly different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bet he wouldn't have been complaining if it had been a ball supplied by their club sponsor Nike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Their record is pretty crazy. I didn't realize they had been this dominant so far. Only 1 draw and 9 wins in 10 matches. Averaging 3.5 goals a match. I thought United's record was pretty good, but City's is just ridiculous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering how much they've spent on their squad that should be minimum expectation. £125m spent on full backs alone last summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobzy Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Are we looking at an unbeaten league campaign from City? IMO, they do look like the best team in Europe at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Yes its possible but injuries to De Bruyne and Silva would take away some of their creativity but for me this is the best I have seen football played in this country ever. I have always rated De Bruyne but never realised just how good he is. I love two footed players . That shot yesterday with his weaker foot. Amazing. De Bruyne or Salah for player of the year so far.

I know Salah has scored the most but he plays further forward and has also spurned a bunch of chances. De Bruyne (and Silva to be honest) are just on a different level.

VillaChris Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 (edited) Still go to go to Man. United (Jose Parking the bus etc and Man United haven't lost at home since September 2016), Spurs (were outplayed there last season and generally Spurs are a bad match up for them last few years) and Liverpool (they're historically awful at Anfield). If they can get through those three unbeaten it could well happen. Edit: They got fortunate yesterday as Kompany could easily have been sent off after three minutes. Thought the ref had applied the double jeopardy rule but that only applies for fouls in the penalty area dosen't it?

Yeah, De Bruyne has been something else, absolutely top quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One For The Road Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Haven't seen a PL game since walking out of VP under Lerner so no idea about Man City, Man United or any other glory hunter club but I will say this: If Man City win the Champions League I'll be absolutely devastated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 (edited) Can we declare them champions already? 8 points clear of 2nd and it's only November... They've scored 13 more goals than the next highest team, and have a +33 goal differential. Edited November 20, 2017 by Czechlad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No worse than when Chelsea did it. I'd be pleased for the City fans who followed them down to the third division, they had 29k gates against likes of Macclesfield in those days (98-99) season so far more than Chelsea were getting when they went down in the 80s. Let's be honest it's only a matter of time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's be honest it's only a matter of time. It was terrible when Chelsea won it too. I'm certain Man City will win it one day and when they do, it'll be another sad day for football given how they will have achieved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
