>mancityswinloliga

FUCK OFF POOP

When will City fuck off???

agueroooo

worst title race ever

>le spend £500+m on a squad already worth £500 man

When Trump nukes the Middle East

What a dreadful little team Swansea are.

nice defending, Swansea

>defenders just stop defending completely against city
shocking

What the fuck was Naughton doing there?

>De-Briner

That's a new one

What an absolute morgue. Noisier at the KC with about 12,000 there, and our atmosphere is shit and toxic.

no its not trip fag

Do you think this commentator is being a bit over the top praising everything City do?

mr robot wars only does over the top desu

I might be talking total shite but I think if one team can just manage to beat City then everyone else is going to get a massive boost in confidence against them as well. Right now teams just wait to get beat by them.

16 games into the season and City have now been declared the greatest team the PL has ever seen

Do you think this commentator dropped to his knees after the game and gave Pep a blowie?

What a tosser

That was almost a perfect performance though,
and they didn't even break a sweat, City

>we're not the best team in the history of the game

Yes, but Swansea are bottom of the PL

There was a hilarious moment in this very fixture a few years ago where a Swansea player tried lobbing Hart from the halfway line and Pearce just kept shouting
>"IS IT GOING IS IT GOING IS IT GOING"

...

>I have never seen a team play like this

Fuck off.

League is over lads.

invincibles BTFO

>Liverpool could realistically win the league

The Netherlands hasn't been the best team for decades mate, don't know what you're on about

I would have thought you'd need to win the PL and CL at least once before people declare you the best team ever. Maybe we should wait a bit.

>Jesus and Aguero in poor form
>City still winning every game

Wrap it up lads. Also who's that Zinchenko fella that came on today?

LEAVE CITY TO ME

>still wearing muh ribbon

>Scores two flukey goals against Unites

City are clearly the best team in the league ever. Doesn't matter that it's only December and they haven't won anything yet, they're the best there ever has been or ever will be.

Treble? What's that?

Post teams that would kill City.

Football experts are such short-term twats. City lose a couple of games and they'll be saying they're a vulnerable team with a weak defence

mourinho's 2nd season stat btfo

*loses 3-1*

...

>Liverpool
>19 points behind City
>9 points ahead of Everton

Maybe, the issue is that right now who looks like could beat them?

If BBC are going to hype Man City so much why the fuck should I watch any of the other meaningless games?

gd gol

Yes, ask yourself that.

>Poop will go unbeaten but Dyche will get manager of the season for getting Burnmeme to finish top 8.

Bet on it boys.

> Not watching for the Fourth Place Trophy™

lolno

Who do the British media fellate more, Pep or Klopp?

>listing the leicester formation as a 3-5-2

City cannot be considered the best PL team ever unless they also win the CL this season.

>This would take something away from going unbeaten

Is there a 7th place trophy?

Pep, but only because Klopp is shit, if he had 1/10th the success of Poop they would be all over him

why is south hampton so empty

>spending one billion pounds or whatever on some foreign mercs and the refs
>guiding a team of mostly british players with a championship budget to the top 6 or so
i know what i find more impressive

Klopp

This is the premier league so basically anybody

Let me know when City win the champions league.

prefer swans to stay up over southampton

THE LINESMAN IS A WOMAN?!?!

More of a 3-4-2-1
We usually play 4-2-3-1

United always beat Leicester

it was a 4231 with chilwell on the wing though

>City are the best PL team ever
>This time last week they lost to Shaktar Donetsk

What does that make Shaktar, the greatest team in Champions League history?

Why?

That was City's F team though

Apart from that one time

MOTD punditry is particularly cancerous. Despise the fact these cunts like Shearer and Linekar are jobs for life boys offering nothing of interest.

The BBC has got it right with the NFL Show. It needs to replicate that format for MOTD

Yes. That's exactly what it means.

Ideal (realistic) relegation

>West Ham
>Stoke
>West Brom

Would love those to fuck off. Palace can fuck off too

Nah.

Simpson and Chilwell were wing-backs tonight.

The Beeb went to shit when they cancelled the Football League show.

...

>Ex manager picks apart old teams tactics

Like pottery, where have I seen this episode before

Algeria!

>All the butthurt faggots ITT

Beeb went to shit a long time ago.

yeh decent lad
maybe not stoke

PARK THE BUS PARK THE BUS MAN YANITED

>Liverpool actually want Van Dijk

Oh dear

No one's butthurt. We've arrived at the point where City finally killed English Football.
How much have they spent on transfers since the Arabs took over?
Go on, find me the figure.

>>spending one billion pounds or whatever on some foreign mercs and the refs

why bring up mourinho??

I fucking love Okazaki.

That season was the biggest let down in my life of supporting United

>world class manager LVG who had just led shitty Holland to the world cup semi finals
>world class signings such as Angel Di Maria and Radamel fucking Falcao
>signed Luke Shaw who was certain to be the next Gareth Bale
>still had RVP and Wayne Rooney, we are going to score SO many goals

What could possible go wrong?

they didn't, fuchs was playing left back

For a Man City bandwagoner you sure are obsessed with Mourinho.

I like Pep. I don't know why people have an issue with him. He's far from the sulky childish cunt that Mou is. Gets his teams playing attractive attacking football. Seems a friendly lad how you could have a pint with and talk footy with and go home having learned something worthwhile.

The PL is def in the bag though. City are probably the favourites for the CL too. The bookies sure seem to think so at least.

>Not Mourinho

Have you ever been within 500 miles of the Etihad?

give it giggsy till the end of season

That only happened because Clattenburg decided to "enhance" the game.

>How much have they spent on transfers since the Arabs took over?
Lots, yeah. How is this much different from Man U or Chelsea?

Chelsea in particular are a sinister kinda cancer with their fucking dubious loan system shit
