His assault in O'Hare was appalling and he feigned injury because he knew he was in the shit. Absolute scumbag

I never singled you out on Tuesday, I don’t even know what you said.

Context is important here. I’ve never said that it’s wrong to be critical. But to call players ‘shit’ and ‘garbage’ isn’t fucking being critical, it’s being a fuckingdick.

Yes emotions run high and we needed to win but you make a choice when it goes 1-1. Being critical is fine... but you either get behind the players or hurl abuse at them.

And saying today was an ‘abject performance’ ...compared to what we’ve been served up over recent years...sounds a touch rich.

Edit to add: We were off the pace and we were out muscled by a physical team. But there were flashes of good play and a never say die attitude.

I agree with most of what you said, but I do believe we weren't very good today.

3 points is the main thing absolutely, and whilst many do love a rant (me included), some people have posted reasonable points about today's game and I feel they've been talked down to unfairly.

Yes, it was Nsiala. Him and O’Grady don’t even look similar.

If it was what do I do here? Berigerently blame him in the face of overwhelming evidence or discreetly withdraw from the thread hoping no one else has been as observant as you?

Just watched the goals on Saturday on Sky and there’s no way Bakayoko was off-side for his disallowed goal when the cross was made

Yeah that looked odd based on how close to the goal line the linesman was. Didn’t look off at the time

We all want the same thing, we just don’t all go about it the same way. I’m all for criticism and people being able to air their opinions. I just don’t ‘go after’ players or the manager with mindless insults.

We were poor today COMPARED to the majority of performances we’ve been treated to. But we showed courage and kept going.

O’Hare ran himself in to the ground...and he’s a loanee. It’s a clear indication of the fight in this team. They won’t give up.

Wasn’t pretty, I agree but the heart and effort made me fucking proud.

Nsiala was lucky not to get at least a yellow. Went in recklessly and potentially led with an elbow. Ref bottled it because he was injured.

Looked like he was out cold but I feared the worst for O’Hare. It’s like running into Akinfenwa’s gut on a cold day

After following City for over 40 years 'I for one am as happy as a pig in shit:emoji_pig2:
4th in the league with games in hand, winning games on a regular basis both
Home and away 'even when obviously not at our best.
When things are going this well 'why waste time and energy searching for the
Negatives, just concentrate on the positives 'of which there are many.
If we were playing in Cov with this team right now 'that would probably be as
Good as it gets for me.
I'm loving it

Let’s be honest if we manage to somehow beat Portsmouth - and it’s probably going to be a bakayoko goal off the bench and it hits the back of his head in the 93rd minute - then we might well

Robins is Ian Botham in his last World Cup and today clinches it for me

You also clearly know a lot less about cricket than you think that you do. A "Golden arm" is a part-time bowler who has the knack of breaking partnerships, more like a Joe Root. As evidenced here: Men with the golden arm - Top 5 part-time bowlers in world cricket

Botham was England's leading wicket-taker at the 1992 World Cup and equal-second highest wicket taker in the tournament, behind Wasim Akram: Benson & Hedges World Cup, 1991/92 - England Cricket Team Records & Stats | ESPNcricinfo.com

I think what you are misunderstanding is Botham's magical ability, throughout his career as England's leading bowler, to pick up wickets with bad balls-as well as with the many many world class deliveries he bowled. He wouldn't have been our leading Test wicket-taker at one point otherwise.

It must really hurt you that Max scored in the league today as that one "counts" doesn't it? Can't have him hitting double figures in a season, can we? Dolt.

One thing I would like to see more of and I know @Nick will appreciate the sentiment...is for our players to know when to be more aggressive and just put a player in the stands!

For Marosis save their player went round Rose and Rose should’ve just went through him in that position.

Let’s be honest we have won an ugly game and whenever you get last minute winners there’s elements of luck. But winning games like this oddly can give players a boost, egos will be up as opposed to the opposite had it remained 1-1.
We will be better Tuesday night.

Are people still going to suggest the atmosphere is better at St Andrews than the Ricoh?

Was truly awful today.

Will feel like a home game for Pompey on Tuesday for them.

Most professionals including Botham laugh at his exploits in that competition - anyway you know best but Illingworth always refered to his golden arm - id stick to your amazing football knowledge if I were you

RATINGS FOLKS v West Ham

Watford similar to us.... YET

Interesting stuff, but I’d be careful seeing as you’ve been calling for taxis for Robins and absolutely slating Biamou not more than a few days ago.
