Problem is that oppo fans will just see that as an admission that he dives rather than the dig it was.

Maybe it's an indication what Guardiola says is irrelevant for our manager and our players. Nobody shouldn't take seriously that c*nt.

Fair point. Context and all that, but then again, context doesn't play a pat when it comes to sensationalism and bitterness. As long as Mane keeps playing exactly as he is anyone can say whatever they want

[davidlpool1982]

Maybe if refs actually gave penalties when fouls are committed whether the man goes to ground or not Sadio wouldn't have to go down. The Villa one wasn't a pen, but there was contact. The fact that refs only give pens when a player hits the ground regardless of the tackle means players will always go down when touched. The media and the like blame the player without looking at the cause of it.

I hope so,I hope it eats away at them,it's not like they couldn't hate us and our players more than they always have.

Fuck them all.

See for instance the strangling/wrestling of Salah that was completely ignored in the Villa game (abd most other games)

‘Guardiola has never got to a European final without Lionel Messi, whereas Klopp has won one with Divock Origi’

I am biased of course, but that article is pretty darn good 🤓

[Dim Glas]

Some of the articles that's said to try and discredit him does get a bit samey to be honest - just gives ammunition more than anything.

But she is right in that he does have to win the CL with City, it really is that simple.  He failed at Bayern, he cannot fail at City, it's why he's there, pressure will be cranked up when the knockout stages arrive. And he can;t keep on with his embarrassing 'we're not ready as a club' excueses again.

I understand what the writer is getting at, but personally I think Divock Origi deserves better than to be used as a punchline.

Djimi Troare though, fair enough!

Back page headlines of the Mirror,Star and Express stating City have  called for  action to prevent new  coach attacks .
Lets just thrash them on the pitch,the snide cheats.

That's exactly what we should be doing, getting in early roast them in the Anfield atmosphere, not getting involved in any stupid stuff beforehand which only brings crap publicity too the club, and takes the credit away from the players as a result. They want us to react to this, don't give the buggers the satisfaction of a reaction.

That's fine. I'm calling for action to prevent the enslavement and premature death of immigrant workers. Six of one...

they are doing this to encourage an attack, I'm pretty sure of it. No one would be arsed otherwise.  But now they are banging on about it 24/7, all of a sudden it becomes a thing.

No one here is interested in their stupid coach. They really need to get over themselves, stop obsessing about a minor incident two seasons ago, stop obsessing about Liverpool and concentrate on themselves.

We just need to ignore their pathetic, incessant whining and do what we do best; supporting our team passionately.

These just want to make the whole narrative around the game to centre on the negative rather than the football because it's at Anfield, and Anfield scares the crap out of them.

Simple disruption and distraction tactics. They are fooling nobody. 

Arseholes!

Gang of fuckin cissies, they are a collective bunch of nervous  wrecks over the possibility of a coach 'attack'

Their minds won't be focused on the game in hand, then they have  the wrath of Anfield to face. Haha, I can see a few of them pulling a 'sickie' on Sunday morning.

[OneTouchFooty]

I don’t even hate Pep, yeah he wears shit clobber and is a bit of a bald tit but he doesn’t compare to a Mourinho or a Fergie. I felt embarrassed for him and his terrible ‘mind games’ the other day.

Bar probably Fernandinho, Walker & Bernardo who I despise, their players are alright on the whole, whereas we’ve happily hated every single United player in the past and present.

Can’t be arsed with them cryarsing again about the bus, we know 99% will behave themselves and a few scallies will take it too far and get the headlines.. just like last time.

[Skeeve]

Normally you'd think that would be just a conspiracy theory, but for them to be making such claims when we have already played them at Anfield since that CL game is just pathetic.

I disagree. I don't think they are nervous of, or expecting, a coach ''attack'' at all.

They are 6 points behind us. They are not playing as well as they would like to be playing. They have some injuries. We are top of the league and playing them at a ground that terrifies them. They are trying to shift a positive frame of mind at Anfield towards the negative. They are looking to shift our focus, even if only by a small degree.

They will hope to take advantage of this by throwing this little hand grenade into the mix then standing back, focusing fully on the game. You know like in Western films you have two guys hiding behind boulders waiting for the other to pop up so you can shoot him. One guy throws a rock in a different direction to his hiding place. The other guy gets distracted and fires in the wrong direction. As he does so he gets nailed by the guy who threw the rock.

It's classic distraction tactics from Abu Dhabi. They want our focus to shift towards the negative whilst they keep theirs on the game. They are simply using false 'concerns' over their bus in order to try to gain advantage over us. They aren't nervous of any attack at all, because they know full well there won't be one. Football-wise they are rattled, so will use any dirty trick to shift our focus. Don't let that happen.

[GreatEx]

^ so mind gamezzz, basically

[Dim Glas]

yeah exactly! It's ridiculous. All of a sudden all this chat of bus attacks start -and its all coming from them, it's utterly bonkers. They know the police will be on alert and doing the best job they can on the day, so why even mention it? All it's doing is planting a seed - and that includes in their own fans heads.

[demain]

Fucking bus wankers.

[Mighty Zeus]

The fact that we're competing with this heartless, soulless effigy of a former football club for the title as if it's perfectly normal.

It literally diminishes our sport. It really does.

They're owned by literal torturers. Their entire success is so nakedly down to cash it's corrupted an entire supporter base.

Imagine what this game would mean if we were playing a real team for the title. I even wish it was Manchester United. What kind of event would that be? All the fans would own it.

Instead we have to deal with all this rancid politics we never asked for. All this cancerous PR that never seemed to be necessary before. All these spiteful, sour fans and their orchestrated online bullshit defending torturers as if it's normal, asking us to believe that their club's wealth is somehow normal, that their success is like the success of any other football club.

What a perversion of our sport for the satisfaction of some billionaires who don't give a fuck about any of us, in any shade of blue or red.

[CHOPPER]

Heard a story from a mate who's brother in-law is in the plod - that the police had the list of the lads they'd identified who threw bottles at the city coach and apparently the officers investigating said fuck'em, they're only mancs and not worth the effort and dropped the investigation.

Mate says it's common knowledge the route they're taking. That'll well slip out.


I know loads up for another 'greeting' its gonna be just as, if not more of a welcome, than it was a few years back.

The fucking peasants haven't got a clue what passion and noise is all about.

I hope their players and manager are like their fan base.

Because they are an absolute shambles. Arguing about whether "Benny" should or shouldn't start. Putting "Phil" in against our mediocre midfield.

Why are they so bad at being a football fan?

Plenty of ours refer to Cardiola as "Pep", doesn't my nut in that!
The only person we should be calling Pep is Lijnders.

Smashing up buses isn’t showing passion though is it? It’s behaving like an arse. If anyone does what City want them to do they are the biggest fools going. Get in the ground early and get in their players heads is the thing to be doing.

If we really want to fuck with them, just clap and cheer as they go by.  Treat them as the plucky underdogs they are.  Guarantee the sarcasm will wind them up no end.

Or maybe a couple of banners talking about human rights violations and asking how they sleep at night.

In any case there's more effective ways to get under their skin than lobbing bottles.

[Medellin]

Show them how passionate we are but for fucks sake no throwing objects of any kind.
If I see any c*nt lashing shit at their coach I'll give the fucker a slap meself,no need & no place in football for shit like that.

[Dr. Beaker]

I think we should bombard their bus with cotton wool balls.

Actually bog rolls are more appropriate - but not as funny.

Abandoned streets like a scene out of Omega Man. Then scare the bejesus out of them once they get into Anfield. Make out to be the calm before the storm.

Used to quite like him - but he's created a persona of being a cool, liberal, hipster champion of the little guy, yet works for an oppressive, human rights-abusing dictatorship.

He's a fucking hypocrite.
