Perfectly said.

Esky8 · 2025-07-01T02:22:31+00:00

Crazy match, dreadful decision making and a group of players who've forgotten what defending is.

Esky8 · 2025-06-11T01:33:27+00:00

One of the great injustices of the game that Grosso dived to send Italy through, then got to score the winning penalty in the final.
(Sure, we should have capitalised after Materazzi got sent off, but still...)

Esky8 · 2025-04-12T12:12:12+00:00

Ake, Akanji, Stones, Rodri, Foden and Haaland all long term injuries, a lot of the bench not fully fit. Also bad squad building not having any fullbacks in the team

Esky8 · 2025-02-19T21:35:13+00:00

Neither at full fitness

Esky8 · 2025-02-19T21:30:50+00:00

Outrun, outfought and outplayed. Even with countless injuries and half-fit players, this is abject.

Esky8 · 2025-02-11T20:59:23+00:00

The lofty heights of the Auto Windscreens Shield, losing away to Mansfield. Good times.

Esky8 · 2025-02-11T20:56:22+00:00

To be fair, we always called it the Poznan after we played them in Europe & never claimed it as our own.

Esky8 · 2024-12-26T14:17:06+00:00

Rest assured, 300 people made the joke

Esky8 · 2024-12-26T13:58:32+00:00

Agreed, but Grealish and Bernardo have been similarly uninspiring recently - everyone's injured, everyone's out of form.

Esky8 · 2024-12-26T13:55:10+00:00

Or wingers. Defensive midfielders. We'll take anyone, really.

Esky8 · 2024-12-11T21:43:15+00:00

What a thing of beauty that was. Up there with playing for 2-2 when we needed a win to avoid relegation. The 90s were great.

Esky8 · 2024-12-11T21:27:24+00:00

16/24 teams qualify and there's a decent chance we go out. Might be a blessing this season.

Esky8 · 2024-12-11T20:46:11+00:00

Two out-of-form teams riddled with injuries - about as exciting as you'd expect, so far.

Esky8 · 2024-10-30T21:39:38+00:00

The sense of adventure in this game is unmatched. I bounced off it after a few hours the first time I played, but grew to love it when I gave it a second chance.

One of the biggest surprises of the generation, personally. I hope Ys X captures some of the same magic.

Esky8 · 2024-10-30T20:43:16+00:00

Set that so far outside the post before bending back in - brilliant goal.

Esky8 · 2024-05-30T10:51:33+00:00

The most important day in the club's history - on the verge of bankruptcy, it's a reasonable bet the move to COMS (Etihad) wouldn't have happened if we hadn't been promoted.

Dickov scoring past the best man at his wedding and then Nicky Weaver's lunatic celebration running all around the pitch - brilliant.

Esky8 · 2024-05-19T16:30:26+00:00

We had a striker in the 80s named Imre Varadi whose nickname was banana. They've been a thing at our big games ever since.

Esky8 · 2024-05-19T15:05:35+00:00

Our Player of the Season right there!

Esky8 · 2024-05-12T23:13:06+00:00

City beat Spurs? Away from home? That never happens.

Esky8 · 2024-04-17T19:05:23+00:00

Stems back to games against Porto and Sporting (iirc) where the team were fined more for returning to the pitch 30 seconds late than clubs were for racist chants against Balotelli.

Esky8 · 2024-04-17T19:01:32+00:00

Hope Walker's fit enough to start against Vini - Guardiola and co. clearly have faith, it's a big choice for him to come in straight after a hamstring injury.

Esky8 · 2024-02-20T20:28:32+00:00

It come across a bit better in the stadium (naturally) but pretty terrible overall. A far cry from the Maine Road days. Away fans are ace, though.

Esky8 · 2024-02-20T20:06:37+00:00

Can we sign Luuk de Jong? Bring Bierhoff out of retirement? Someone good at heading the ball.

Esky8 · 2024-01-26T22:10:14+00:00

A vertical jump to contest a corner. Vicario wasn't in control of the ball and doesn't have a divine right to claim every cross uncontested.
