    After QPR and Huddersfield won today, we are sitting just 10 pts clear of a relegation place. 

    Given our next game is Southampton, that gap could well be less ahead of what could be a key game home to QPR.

    Can't imagine we would have had to worry about being drawn into a relegation scrap had Pearson stayed...

     

    My God, I bet you could not wait to post, so if we were the same number of points from making the playoffs would it mean we should all prepare to be possibly booking tickets to Wembley? thought not.

    Another thread descends into personal abuse! 
     

    A symptom of the current **** wittery at this club. 
     

    For the record. We were shit with no attacking threat and an inability to pass it successfully to each other LET ALONE forward. 
     

    This has nothing to do with who they are or payments from the premier league we were just awful


     

     

    I've said it in past postings there are clubs we seem to already have lost to before we have even kicked off, Wolves are another club like Leeds where we seem to run up the white flag of surrender, no matter what their form is at the time we play them you just know they will beat us, we gave Leeds way too much respect last night hence the title of my posting.

    Sending good wishes to your wife and you mate.

    As a City fan, the day you need to worry about being embarrassed by any sort of comparison from those ***** chirping on is a very distant one from here.

    All the best.

    Thank you for your good wishes, I'm sorry if I came on a bit strong in my post but that's just how I felt at the time, of course, I gave them back as good as I got.

    In other times a performance like that would have raised comments of the manager losing the dressing room. Manning seems to have got a team in his own image, rabbits in headlights comes to mind. He and they seemed scared and out of their depth tonight.
    As someone else said it was the most comfortable 1-0 that you will ever see. There was clearly a massive gulf between the teams but we could have at least tried to put up some kind of fight. 
     

    I don’t doubt, as others have said that the likes of James, King, Williams and probably Wells will not be with us next season but where will be the experienced players to lead the team ? Tonight we were like a rudderless ship without any direction on the field or off it. It was though only 1-0 so there was always the chance that we could have sneaked an undeserved leveller. Unfortunately it seems our players failed to realise that you have to get the ball in to the opposition’s box to score. Our free-kick that almost led to a Leeds goal summed up the night. Any team can turn up for a cup match but anyone that thinks a a few signings for the future will bring us a team that can be consistent and challenge for the top six next season is sadly deluded.

    Well said I tried to say the same thing in my earlier post, but a certain poster who names himself after a Leeds player with no front teeth took it upon himself to criticise me for having the audacity to agree with you.

    So you watched the game in a pub with gas rather than being here,couldn’t care less if you have supported city for 1 year or a 100 years because you clearly don’t know how football works,Were West Ham motivated to beat us or are Leeds better than us,you know the answer and while you mull it over your pint with the scummers ask how big the gap is 

    You Know nothing about me at all, well let me say one thing, I was not at the ground tonight because my wife has had a stroke and needs me to be at her side, I rarely go out and leave her but she insisted I go out to meet some friends to watch the game, the fact some people were there (Gas) wanting us to lose is irrelevant, and two teams in the same division should have meant we should have been at least competitive, were we? I was embarrassed and I'm not afraid to say it.

  6. Need I say more? look I did not bother posting for a couple of hours to let the blood pressure subside, but what can I say? I, unfortunately, watched the game in front of about 6 Gasheads in the Duke who had come to watch us hopefully lose and well we certainly didn't disappoint them, we did not have a meaningful attack or attempt on goal, as the post says embarrassing, seldom in my 56 years of watching City have I EVER seen us so comprehensively outplayed in every department from the first kick to the final whistle, how the hell did we go from being deserved winners against West Ham to being outplayed by a team in the same division?

    I completely forgot that was him.  

    Didn't the injury happen in front of the Atyeo, as I've got memories of it being almost in front of me and him acknowledging us applauding him as he was stretchered off.

    Yes, it was and yes he did, we all felt gutted for him he had been playing so well for us too.

    Anyone who slags off or belittles the FA Cup should be made to sit down and watch that game.  

    Who says the magic of the cup is dead ..... that was ******* awesome and exactly what makes this such a special competition.  Brilliant to see and imagining Ashton sneaking off with his tail between his legs is just icing on the cake!

    I mean I don't support Maidstone but still jumped up and punched the air with delight when their second went in so just imagine being a supporter actually at the game, football can give you some of the best moments of your life (and worst).

    Not sure if someone already posted but George Elokobi played one game for city 

    Well done my son 

    I think it was around 40 minutes before his Ankle was broken right next to me, no matter he will always be a City player however short his time was with us.

    Much as you might like to believe otherwise, it was a minority thing back them too, especially by the time of the Forest incident you all seem so fond of, which was fairly recent compared to a lot of it.

    I couldn't give a monkeys if it still goes on away from the grounds, at least it's no longer a part of the matchday experience and is no longer ruining watching football like it used to for the majority of fans.

    P.S. pretty sure I'm not a millennial, I grew up watching City in the late seventies and early eighties.

    I'm not fond of it I was merely stating that back in the late '60s and early seventies there was tribal violence at football grounds with the Skinhead phenomenon of the time, now the violence is orchestrated through social media and smartphones, and there seems to be very little trouble actually in the ground these days, it may have been a minority thing back then but it was still pretty commonplace.

    Is there any possibility of a 'reminiscing about how football was better with violence involved' subforum where people can boast about how hard they used to be without the rest of us having to put up with this brainless mush?

    It used to be a bit of a right of passage back in the day, I suppose it looks bad from today's millennial eyes perspective, it still goes on though just not as much at the actual grounds.
