    We played much better at the London stadium less than three weeks ago against a proper PL level club. We created some great chances and scored a wonderful goal.

    Forest looked like a yo yo level team, no better than the parachute teams in this division and a home draw is only about par I would say 

    Yeah but Forest were better at AG tonight than West Ham were.

  3. Our Defence is Amazing

    If only our attack was half as good 

    Give it time. Everything starts with defence.

    Manning's on the right track for me.

    So nice to finally see a City side having lots of possession in games, regardless of the opposition.

    Things are looking up.

    Alex Scott is an expert at this and we loved it when he did it. "Winning fouls" is an art, getting your body in the way and taking the contact.

    On the Fernandes one, contact does look slight, but the defender's dived in. It's terrible defending. I'd say knowing what he's like as a player too he's probably made a meal of it and it hasn't been enough to trip him.

    Another thing to add, is how bloody often when there IS clear contact and Refs dont give it if you try to stay up or are put off balance and have a shit shot from it - may as well go down then? They have to make a decision then.

    Diving will always be the toughest thing to clamp down on because it's near on impossible to tell from a replay how much contact it takes to bring someone down. Look at the Jota one, every adament he's dived and there's little to no contact - but the keeper comes out and says yes it's a pen. He's the only other person who knows how much contact was made and he even he agrees.

     

    Alex Scott exactly. I can't remember too many on here calling him out for being a cheat, only a clever player.

    Just giving Stranglers 'Rattus Norvegicus' a blast for the first time in yonks, still a brilliant album all these years on.

    Love Black and White and Raven too.

    Never seems to sound that dated.

    A clever band.

    I do think that an Oasis reunion, should it ever happen, has been hyped to such a ridiculous level now that it could never possibly live up to it. And it would no doubt cost £300 for a ticket and be full of the piss-throwing chavvy bell ends that end up at these gigs. They do have really strong songs though that are the best to belt out, and both Noel and Liam live are good fun.

    As far as Manc bands go, The Smiths and The Roses were better for me but I think a lot of the Oasis hate is purely down to how 'everywhere' they are. In some very specific demographics they're arguably actually bigger than The Beatles, so I can see why they do some people's heads in and would be a Room 101 band.

    Arguably bigger than the Beatles :laugh:, oh behave.

    Modern day football is absolutely dire, it’s slow uninspiring and boring.

    I don’t bother watching it these days, and that includes City unfortunately.

    Unfortunately, I think there's something to be said for this, and today you had it for a good hour of the match where neither side seemed to be interested in taking a gamble to score.

    They got better and fully deserved their win, but sadly these types of games are becoming more and more normal nowadays.

    Utterly miserable experience being at this one today.

    And got f ing soaked on the way home.

    Happy New Year!
