Begs the question re striker, would one last night have hampered our fluidity or made us even more lethal?
And if some games we seem to be really lacking the cutting edge, would we persevere with the False 9?
I know most teams wont play as inept as Leeds, but last night was a great example of our fluidity.

We scored 83 PL goals last season playing without a striker most of the time, Serg was injured the majority of the season and scored 4 goals i think.
We've scored 40 in 17 in the league this season so we're on for even more. It's a fallacy that teams have worked it out, we seem to be getting better at it.
A striker could definitely affect the fluidity but it would be nice to have the option if it's a Haaland.

Sounds a very good night, mate. I’m sure the destination had an affect on the Leeds fans, as well as their expectations.


To be fair, what I’ve heard of them they are not the same animal as I knew back in the day and now seem to be more about the football rather than the hooligans that we once knew.


Yeah... Leeds was always "interesting" especially with me having a southern accent and city colours.... :D

I had a right result... sparky who fixed my heating was a Leeds fan... we got talking football as its a bit obvious in my flat I'm city... (curtains... shower curtain... cushions etc! :D )
He fixed my system and said "good luck for tonight"
Fucking glad it wasn't today he was coming round! :lol:

Honestly, I cant recall anyone seriously asking for him to be sacked!

Only in ODs head have people asked for him to be sacked.


It would take some serious amount of backtracking for you to ever be taken seriously on here again mate.

Your blind hatred for him is all over this forum.

You can always wait until someone else gets sent off or a goalkeeping howler but by God that's slim pickings.

Me? I just love having the best in the world looking after the club.

I'm a city licker.

You couldn't care if he left and you've said so many many times

You're a bit silly aren't you?


PMSL and then some .

Thank you .



No bother, you'll get an opportunity again soon I'm sure

Until then...

I’ve never understood why some posters take it that badly that they feel they have to fuck off from the forum - it’s just a message board ffs !

If it were a choice out of 64 and some of the posters he tried to bully off the forum just because they weren’t from Manchester or because they won legend status over him, like Hants for example - top posters, then I’d rather stick with the other posters. He would likely have hated you OD because you’re not born and bred Manchester (or the posh part of Wigan).

64 was called out for being a piece of shit xenophobe and he chose to leave because sometimes the truth hurts. Oops I better watch out for the lawyers!! One of the guys might grass me up to 64 :lol:

And here lies the very problem in this once fantastic Man City fan forum . A small minded armchair poster modelling himself a version of Mark Goldbridge possibly spouting even more shite than that sad rag cunt . You wouldn’t last 2 minutes in the real world best stick to playing keyboard wanker city version Goldbridge it probably suits you and gives you an aim in life to fill the total void .

Best wishes to Johnny Crossan , Beefy , Salford , Carl , Bear and few others you know who you are . Have a great Christmas
