City ripped open.Hope theres no new manager bounce when we play city on Boxing Day. 😁😁😁 Ray Roche 5 Posted 21/12/2024 at 13:55:42 Rob, Villa are excellent today. Deserve to be two up. John Keating 6 Posted 21/12/2024 at 13:57:30 Wow City are all over the placeTheir supporters, Pep and the players will be so glad theyre playing us next week to get back on trackThe team that just keep giving Steve Brown 7 Posted 21/12/2024 at 13:57:50 Morgan Rogers, signed for £8 million. Andrew Grey 8 Posted 21/12/2024 at 13:59:47 John Keating -6Yep! Rob Halligan 9 Posted 21/12/2024 at 14:02:56 John # 6……Nope! Bill Gall 10 Posted 21/12/2024 at 14:04:04 This is a good performance from Villa the only negative is it will give more incentive to Chelsea to get a result today.But Man City's poor form is bound to change – and you don't need a second guess to know who it will be against. Brian Williams 11 Posted 21/12/2024 at 14:05:18 That's right John, keep the faith.Got us beaten almost a week before we kick off. Rob Halligan 12 Posted 21/12/2024 at 14:06:56 Bill, Im guessing their game against Leicester next Sunday. Michael Kenrick 13 Posted 21/12/2024 at 14:10:12 Pep is not gonna like it next week when he sees our marauding midfield surge through the lines to feed our lethal striker who can hit the ball goalward early and true with consummate power and unerring accuracy.Oh… hang on a minute… Something not quite right there. Egg-nog overload! Brian Williams 14 Posted 21/12/2024 at 14:15:41 Shut up, Michael, unless you wanna sleep with the fishes. 🐟🐠🐡 Rob Halligan 15 Posted 21/12/2024 at 14:16:25 😂😂😂😂 Rob Halligan 16 Posted 21/12/2024 at 15:06:26 Skunk maggots score after 25 seconds. Goal given over three minutes later after a lengthy VAR check. Jim Bennings 17 Posted 21/12/2024 at 15:30:16 The league is over for City now.The only thing about Boxing Day is if they turn in a performance out of anger and frustration but Pep will obviously have all eyes on the Champions League now. Rob Halligan 18 Posted 21/12/2024 at 15:34:57 2-0. Skunks. John Keating 19 Posted 21/12/2024 at 15:40:59 Brian 11after 70 years I've seen it allLast few years have we not seen teams in the shit turn us over???I give you Southampton a few weeks ago. Brian Williams 20 Posted 21/12/2024 at 15:44:56 And I'll give you Arsenal last week. 😉 Jim Bennings 21 Posted 21/12/2024 at 15:45:15 Forest absolutely flying under Nuno.In hindsight maybe his appointment in 2021 would have seen Everton in a different place by now?Instead of that Moshiri made probably his last final two errors appointing Rafa and Lampard Paul Hewitt 22 Posted 21/12/2024 at 15:47:34 Jim,I don't even think the forest squad is that much better than ours. But they have pace and a plan on how to play. Paul Hewitt 23 Posted 21/12/2024 at 15:49:33 ,3-0 Newcastle Brian Williams 24 Posted 21/12/2024 at 15:50:33 Skunks doing us a big favour! Rob Halligan 25 Posted 21/12/2024 at 15:51:19 John, spurs turned Man City over 4-0 at the Etihad. The week before they were beaten at home by Ipswich, who at the moment are 3-0 down to the skunks. Previous results against teams have no bearings whatsoever on games coming up against those same teams. We can get a result at the Etihad on Boxing Day. As Brian says, most expected Arsenal to turn us over easily enough. They never and at the moment are playing far better than Man City. Paul Tran 26 Posted 21/12/2024 at 16:07:13 Yes Paul. More depth, plus pace and a striker scoring goals Bill Gall 27 Posted 21/12/2024 at 16:13:33 Brighton go ahead / after the usual VAR check Rob Halligan 28 Posted 21/12/2024 at 16:17:12 FFS hat trick for Isak, after me telling Ferry to pick him as captain for his fantasy football team. 😡😡😡 Paul Hewitt 29 Posted 21/12/2024 at 16:17:18 West ham losing, which is good Brian Williams 30 Posted 21/12/2024 at 16:19:41 Haha. The young lad doing the "wanker" gesture to Isak is gonna be in trouble with his mum if she sees that. 🤣 Joe McMahon 31 Posted 21/12/2024 at 16:24:19 Paul @22, I assume you've seen Evertons sorry excuse for strikers? Although Beto admittedly not given much chance by our tactical genius manager.
