I do find them so bloody boring ok they win just about every week but not for me, Zzzzzzz.
Kevin De Bruyne is a joy to watch for me. Effortless.
Glad I'm not an Aussie fan....strewth!
That's simply not true. I worked for years in Manchester and all the market traders were lifelong City fans. They were the poor relations and apart from the Mercer/Allison spell they didn't have much to shout about. Not their fault if someone invests a load of money in the club. Those lads would still support City if it was in L2.
They were just another club before a Saudi prince got hold of them, a biggish club that rarely won anything, like an Everton or Aston Villa. Even when they won the lottery, their journey from mediocre to domestic dominance wasn't a quick one.
They are now a machine and as they demonstrated to us in January, a ruthless one. And boring in the same way Spain became boring with their tippy tappy 5000 passes to move 20 yards forward football.
We were fortunate enough to watch our mate play at the Etihad from the chairman’s box and be looked after by his assistant and when I asked him why they haven’t extended the left stand behind the goal to match the other end, he said it was ‘cos they can’t fill it, strangely enough.
