As a City, this was an extra added dung-fest for me.
Best line of the day "And people thought the worse football in England today was going to be played between Buffalo and Jacksonville."

On the bright side, Chelsea lost again. 
Amazingly, Leicester keep on winning.

Leicester had the best record at the end of last season. Their performance is no fluke. Great story. They would beat Bayern by at least 4 goals.
Tottenham nil, Leicester City 11.
And now on to the pools news.

I haven't forgiven your lot for losing to the Scum. Bayern sucks.
Lost to a team that was just manhandled by Sheffield Wednesday...on a Tuesday.
Teams that have pretensions of doing well in serious competitions no longer take the League Cup seriously.
That would explain why Goalline still takes it seriously.

That probably explains why your Bayern lost 2 nil to the Scum, huh? Not taking it seriously?
I think Bayern are most certainly not taking the English League Cup seriously.
They treat the League Cup like the Bundesliga? Makes sense. All the other teams have the purchasing power of Sheffield Wednesday.
This Moronho decline is epic. He was such a tool last year, he deserved some schadenfreude.
Lobbed Murinho's interview afterwards. It was a special one. 
If Liverpool don't give up their three-goal lead, then Leicester City will be at the top of the table. 
Little Leicester. They are playing great ball. They do have a murderers row of games coming up, but if they stay clear of injuries they are good enough to challenge for the top 4.
Yeah, thanks to that effin' cock Pellegrini, City is now in 3rd place. All that talent, and this clown decides to sit the top CB in EPL (Otamendi) and start Mangala...4 surrendered goals later...
What a game by Liverpool. Klopp has them really playing. Why Real didn't drop everything and hire Kopp is news to me.
Otamendi is a fukking horse though, isn't he?
Aren't they already in the knockout stage of the CL with a game to spare?quote:Yeah, thanks to that effin' cock Pellegrini, City is now in 3rd place.
3rd in the EPL...although they are back up on top.
They are through to KOR of CL, and not that it really matters because they re-draw anyway, so you can get a tougher draw even if you finish #1 in your pod.
My frustration is just top to bottom the last 10 weeks of soccer from them.
- Lost at home opening round of UCL to Juve (UCL)
- Lost at home to West Ham (PL)
- Thrashed Sunderland's cup squad (CC)
- Ass kicked by Tottenham (PL)
- Won 2-1 at M'Gladbach (UCL)
- Thrashed an awful Newcastle team (PL)
- Thrashed a worse Bournemouth team (PL)
- Beat Sevilla 2-1 (UCL)
- Parked the bus from the start and managed a draw vs MUFC (PL)
- Thrashed CPalace cup squad (CC)
- Barely escaped 2-1 vs Norwich (PL)
- Beat Sevilla on the road (UCL)
- Draw vs. Awful AVFC team (PL)
- Humilated by Liverpool (PL)
- Lost 1-0 at Juve (UCL)
- Good win over Southampton (PL)
- Struggled to put Hull away until like the 80th minute (CC)
I can forgive the UCL crap...it's just preliminary...but the problem is, because of injuries they are having to play first teams in cup games...a lot. And they are not looking that great in these games. I'd rather lose, and play all young kids, and let the vets rest up and be better prepped for PL fixtures.
Overall, this team struggles with ball handling, they struggle with passing and they struggle with finishing...consistently. Against good teams, against bad teams. And good teams make them pay. This team has a ton of salary, handpicked guys by Pellegrini...and a lot of them are not delivering. Pellegrini is a $hit manager....I have no faith even if they add a load more talent in the transfer window, they will be able to stop these frustrating results. Their defense is atrocious (really they are the team USA of the PL), and there doesn't seem to be any urgency to fix it.
And once again, Aguero is on the fukking shelf.
I swear to God, that dude is a China doll he's so fragile.

Sound like any other football team you know? Have fun watching that awful defense for years.
So Agüero is the Abbrederis of the EPL. Perhaps you'd like an injured diver like Robben instead? 
Yeah...seeing the Chosen One given the old heave ho warmed my heart. Bye bye Mou.
Also...Leicester City...WTF?! Dudes must be on HGH, cocaine and cattle hormones.
You'd think Everton v. Leicester would be a more interesting game, but NBC decides to shove the celebrity teams down our throats again.
It's almost as bad as Fox's coverage of the CL, which between FS1/FS2 and the local Fox Sports channel is the four EPL teams plus Madrid and Barça every single matchday. (It's one of the reasons I want Italy to overtake England in the league coefficient.)
Leicester City? I called it.
BTW Fedya, I get all the games. How come you cannot?
if you have NBC Sports in your cable/satellite package you can watch all the other EPL games streaming.
Direct TV has them on channels 491-494.
Drama getting sexy in PL...can't wait for Pelleweenie to get the heave ho and the Pep Guardiola era to begin.
I will laugh my arse off if Mou-Mou ends up at ManUre
I think everything you've mentioned will come true. Not quite sure why City haven't lured an elite manager yet, with all the money the spend.
And the most amazing thing...after all the bull$hit MCFC has pulled this year under Pelleweenie...they are still 3rd on the table and a 1 seed in UCL, with a chance to win CC.
I just wish they'd flush the toilet on Count Chocula.
Also...Arsenal...WTF...they may win it all...though I still feel Leicester is much better than people giving them credit for.
Arsenal, Leicester and ManUre $hit the bed yesterday. MCFC vs Leicester should be interesting.
Not really Fed...our last road win was at CP in Sept.
Better than a loss but we needed a win...esp considering the crap Arsenal gets to play in the 2nd half.
I will be most happy when Pelleweenie is fired.
Everybody plays the same 19 teams in the second half of the season as they played in the first half of the season.
It could be worse: your team could be behind Tottenham, and that would be a disaster.
Dele Alli's goal today. Hard to believe he is only 19, and also hard to believe he is English. England manager Roy Hodgson was celebrating like he had just won the world cup. I give it two years before Real come calling.
MCFC vs Liverpud in the Capital One Cup final...not a huge fan of that POS tournament...but whatever. Gonna be hard as hell without Kevin De Bruyne.
Sounding like MCL. People claimed he tried to flop and injured himself. He claims he was jostling for position, and leaned back expecting the defender to be there, and wasn't so went backwards and his spike got caught.
Whatever...best case he's probably out 4-5 weeks...worst case it's the season. Either way, during this critical PL run, this probably since MCFC.
MoLeicester is gonna pull this one out.
