@bifana_bifana Typical, City get the easy draw again. 🤪

English equivalent would be for the League Cup draw to be made now for next season. It would start at the quarter finals with the following invited teams. Nobody else plays: Arsenal v Coventry City v Ipswich Utd v Bournemouth Villa v Liverpool

@FBAwayDays West Brom Oldham Manchester Stockport Ipswich Scunthorpe Bolton

Who are the first clubs you think of when you say these names? Albion - Athletic - City - County - Town - United - Wanderers -

@CityzenAmerica If only Donnarumma could use his feet

If only Donnarumma could command his box like Ederson x.com/goalstvsuperli…

What landmark lets you know that you're nearly home when you see it?

@NOELY1982 Africa, Arsenal. Don’t waste your time.

Arsenal fan mocking 6 time league 1 time champions league winner I laughed at Wembley the other week the PA announced they were bringing out a legend from each side We brought out Dennis Tueart Arsenal brought out Jérémie Aliadière

@c_awesome254 @mancityhardcore @ErlingHaaland 2009

@mancityhardcore @ErlingHaaland Should have asked k him where Citeh was before 2010.

I met Norwegian R9 dad 🧑 I couldn’t hold back @ErlingHaaland

@Sakkanel @JanAageFjortoft Nigeria?

@JanAageFjortoft At this rate, it could genuinely feel like a home game.

Boxpark at Wembley right now

@RealTolmie @WeareManC1ty At the risk of sounding like Klopp, the pitch didn’t help. They left the grass long and slow and we struggled to get the pace of our passes right. Added to the fact that we didn’t pack our longer studs like Spurs on Tuesday.

@WeareManC1ty It's also pretty clear that we are now poor in possession and retaining it under pressure. We just aren't technically good enough to let the ball do the work like we used to. Especially so, when we don't have people to win it back mate.

Last night reminded me so much of the humiliation at United. Similar team, defying logic with a 4-4-2 that unforgiveably morphs into 4-2-4 out of possession. Similar subs also, trying to rescue an already lost cause. Pep hung the entire team out to dry and Madrid were ruthless.

@honigstein @goatersmotors Also forgot that Haaland didn’t touch the ball.

@goatersmotors sorry forgot inverted commas

It’s neither that deep nor difficult. 1. There‘s no „two fouls cancel each other out“ provision in the laws. There can’t be. 2. Haaland scored an illegal goal. 3. Since there was no goal, Szoboszlai‘s foul is DOGSO. Any other outcome would be absurd.

@AmosMurphy_ I think he’s implying that the Emirates FA Cup draw is being fixed in favour of Etihad sponsored Manchester City. 🤷‍♂️

This is obviously a really weird thing to do, but what’s actually being implied?

@Joey72735798 @SkyFootball He’d have dropped it

@SkyFootball Suprised he didn’t go down holding his head like he did against Bristol city 👀

"An absolute howler!" 😨 Arthur Okonkwo fails to claim the ball, and Adam Idah reacts quickest to poke it home ⚪️

@WG_RumblePants I’d bring in Jimmy Anderson

Let’s assume England lose at least 1 of the 3 remaining Ashes Tests - probably a safe assumption. What would your ideal, alternative post-Ashes England Test lineup look like? Who are you dropping, who are you keeping and who are you bringing into the XI?

@theskybluetimes The ground duels surprises me. Hardly won any in the last 2 games.

Do any of these stats change your mind or surprise you? Only Bournemouth (6) has scored more PL goals this season than Manchester City (5) from fast breaks. No team has completed more buildups (80) or scored more buildup goals (7) than Manchester City. The nearest teams, Arsenal, Liverpool, and Burnley, have all scored two. Manchester City have had 21 high turnovers ending in a shot this season in the Premier League. Only Liverpool (23) and Chelsea (23) have more. Aston Villa, Brighton, Spurs, and Manchester City are the only Premier League teams yet to concede from a fast break this season. Manchester City are the only PL Team this season to win over 50% of ground duels and more than 56% of aerial duels.

@ARABIANVID @premierleague Wonder why other strikers don’t do that 🤷‍♂️

@premierleague Haaland's streak is incredible, but how many of those were against top-tier, Champions League-caliber defenses? Seems like a lot of padding against weaker sides. #TheRealTest

Erling Haaland has now scored in 🔟 consecutive matches for club and country 🤯

@RealRomfordPele @laura_woodsy Imagine getting 100 points 🤯

Unbeaten for another season 🍻😁

My heads gonna fall off with Spurs if we lose Eze to Arsenal 😡😡😡

Throwing a football over a house and running through to catch it

What is the best football related image of all time?

@bifana_bifana @StePurpleHeart Probably go ahead at £3000 and think everyone will be grateful.

@StePurpleHeart Yeah, what I meant was they (clubs) will always hide behind "hypothetical" to see how strong the kickback is, before announcing they're going ahead and doing it, despite everything. Not sure you can squeeze an empty lemon and get anything out of it but pips.

Just looked at the headline, not bothered with the story (which could be an error), but I don’t know a single one of my red mates that would pay that on top of season ticket costs. Most are thinking of jacking it as it is. What the fuck are these clubs thinking?

@andreelvis_ @City_Xtra @Jack_Gaughan Silly twat

@City_Xtra @Jack_Gaughan Dias is shit

#ManCity are prioritising new contracts for Ruben Dias and Rico Lewis and discussions with their representatives are set to open soon. [via @Jack_Gaughan]
