Merry Christmas all and a big thanks to our dedicated Ed’s, without whom we wouldn’t have such banter fun, cheers guys and girls.
Good will to all men and women, especially my Irish Manc friend Ken, I can just picture him now on Christmas Day sitting at the table with his family wearing his Mo Salah Egyptian King crown and No 23 Carra shirt 😜
Love ya Ken.
PPS saw the video clip of Salah, Shaq and Robbo surprising the local school kids, it was priceless. As they are sneaking out from behind the curtain Carra asks one kid what would you say to Mo Salah if you met him? to which the kid replies “are you really the king of Egypt? ” 😂😂😂😂 kids are great, Mo comes out, surprises the kid and asks him what he has to say, the open mouthed kid goes “are you really the King of Egypt? ” Priceless, Magical time Christmas (Santa wears red for a reason) All the Best Ed’s and Posters 🎅🏻🥰.

Oh my word 😱
Long way to go but we are playing first the next two games so if we do our job then the pressure ramps upon City each time. Big one Boxing Day next 🤞🏻.

Some of us were saying City would definitely have a blip at some point of the season. This is probably it. A stretch of 3-4 games where they don't look right and lose points. Let's see if we can take advantage.


2.) 22 Dec 2018 18:36:26
How many thought we would go into Christmas Day with a 4 point lead? Getting a little tight in the underpants thinking of it :D.


3.) 22 Dec 2018 19:00:46
Well, Well, Well. There appears to be a wobble.


4.) 22 Dec 2018 19:16:57
Yes, exactly ra and now the pressure is on them mate, loving this 😀.


5.) 22 Dec 2018 20:38:52
Spot on, lads. We heard it all. Don't see City dropping any points", "City will go undefeated", "the title is City's to lose", blah, blah, blah. Complete and utter tosh. This is the freaking English Premier League where on any giving weekend, any team can beat ANY team. As for City, they have been on a wobble since late November BUT people did not see it cos well, they won. Against Bournmouth, Watford, Chelsea, Everton and now Crystal Palace, City struggled mightily. Why? Cos these teams got after City and had the guts to actually attack them and give them loads and City could NEVER deal with them defensively.

Last week, Everton played a blinder and created more chances at the Etihad than any other team I have seen play there this season and should have gotten a point from that game. Palace proly saw that and said, "We'll do the exact same thing" and since can't defend cos they don't like to and don't want to, they were bound to come unstock and they did. Also, don't underestimate the absence of David Silva cos that is killing them right now as well. Let's see how City bounce back from these setbacks.

{Ed0333's Note - Also did you see how sparse crowd wise that stadium was? I know now why they call it the Emtyhad.


6.) 22 Dec 2018 21:57:07
I noticed that Ed, empty seats all over the ground. Mickey Mouse club with rich owners doesn’t give you what we have. True passion. I drive up from London for most home games, not getting home until 4am sometimes to what my team. Thousands of mancs today couldn’t be bothered to turn up for what was a massive game for them. Shocking.


7.) 22 Dec 2018 22:00:07
Ed0333, I heard about that as well. Talk about spoiled brats. Also, It's always empty (esp. during CL home games) at the Emptyhad, really. I saw this joke on social media, "Was city fans dressed as seats because there was an awful lot of them lol? ". I was in stitche after reading that, Ed.


8.) 22 Dec 2018 22:11:10
Baffles me that year after year pundits and fans fall into the same trap of "cant see this or that-ism". every year seriously haha at this stage of the season everything is still on.


9.) 22 Dec 2018 23:18:18
We can have a blip also chaps! Game by game 🙄⚽️✌️.


10.) 23 Dec 2018 00:58:14
No excuses given normally for poor attendance but that game at the emptyhad last week was affected by some piss poor travel issues around both Manchester and Liverpool - a lot of fans from both sides wouldn't have been able to travel to the ground and get home. Jeez, I'm sticking up for MCFC and EFC now!


11.) 23 Dec 2018 01:24:08
Plenty of twist and turns left so no complacency but they aren’t invincible and neither are we. yet!


12.) 23 Dec 2018 07:44:08
Johnnyr1970, that would make sense if their stadium not being full of filled on that day, was a one-off. They call their stadium the Emptyhad for a reason. They simply cannot fill it on a regular basis (during CL games, it's even worse) and it seems to be getting worse. That is a fact that even their fans agree with.

100% spot on Bill, they just cheat. I deliberately use the word because referees hate that more than any other in the dictionary, if they don’t want to be called cheats then they have to throw out people like Tierney. Remember at Spurs when Jota was about to score 6 yards out and he was barged in the back, Tierney said he stopped and was looking for a foul ? I mean that was a beauty and Kane not getting sent off. Remember Kompany too footed on Salah at the emptyhad on the halfway line and he was through all alone, that was two red cards in one, not given. Remember Sadio chopped at the waist away at Southampton, not given or Cresswell leg breaker at West Ham on Hendo. I could find 30 examples a season of deliberate cheating but sky and the press love it, thrive on it and actively stoke it up.
Like I said in previous posts, I met many of the old guard, Dermot Gallagher was one of the good guys, there were many of his peers who were horrendous, arrogant and power mad. VAR is just creating a breeding ground for it. If they were incompetent then you could say ok but why is that with all the coaching, full time professionals, analysis etc, there’s no way they can be that bad, we could all do VAR sitting at home and get a higher success rate so there’s only one option left…. some of them are corrupt. I feel sorry for the honest ones like Michael Oliver.

Hi Seano, enjoyed the article mate. I’m a former ref at lower league level but had friends who were prem officials so I would often go to EPL games as a guest. I have no evidence, other than the behaviours I’ve witnessed back in the day, but. I’m in no doubt there is a group of PGMOL officials who cheat either through their allegiance to clubs as supporters from their youth or out of a dislike for certain players and managers. I say this because I know referees compare notes with each other about players and managers example Salah is labelled a diver and does not get awarded fouls, compare that with Grealish and Kane and what they get away with and you might even suspect an element of racism, food for thought.

Anyway they cheat, only City or Utd would get away with Onana’s pen v Wolves or the ridiculous offside goal v Fulham. Too many referees are based in Manchester, Cheshire or support those teams. Liverpool would have very quickly been on the opposite end of both those decisions if the same situation arose.

I’ve been telling Ken, Shappy and James on the Utd page for years, unsurprisingly they don’t believe it and think I’m a conspiracy theorist nutter. The admission by Mike Dean is an interesting one and probably him getting a dig back at Webb for the way Webb treated him when he took over.
I was at Anfield yesterday and found it hilarious that Darren England was trying to find an offside in the Sobozslai goal, the ground couldn’t believe they were even suggesting it when it was announced, given the goal City were gifted that would have been too brazen even for them. Take a look at the stats, England, Coote, Tierney, Atkinson have all made a catalogue of horrendous decisions against Liverpool or for City/ United in recent seasons. I never like Taylor on our games or those involving Manchester teams, it’s odd that Mike Dean only got the odd Everton or Liverpool fixture at the end of his career yet the Cheshire/ Manchester refs get all the games that influence the title race. Of the elite experienced refs Oliver is the only one I don’t think has any bias, there are some decent ones coming through to replace the old guard however they aren’t helped by the type of VAR nonsense that the young lad who refereed the Liverpool Brighton fixture got lumbered with.
The integrity of the game is more questionable than ever before, Howard Webb does not appear to be the man to save it with his less intervention, obvious only interference instructions for the use of VAR, it’s all utter rubbish…. just get the decision right or scrap VAR entirely. I thought umpires call in cricket was silly when the ball is clipping the stumps but referees on the field call in football unless it’s an “obvious” error is just plain madness. 95% of the decisions are obvious to us all as players, spectators, managers alike only a very small percentage are subjective around who initiated contact and whether it’s enough to go to ground. City will win the league and if Spurs, Arsenal or anyone else dare to threaten that position then the PGMOL will do what it does best, remember the handball by City at Goodison the other season last minute? Not dissimilar to Onana v Wolves was it? Clear? Yes, obvious? Yes…. given by VAR? no …. Wonder why?.

In fact if Ed02 is about I’d like to offer humble apologies on behalf of the team, I think only Chris in goal, Cush (because he only got 5 mins before breaking his snout) and Leo are exempt from criticism. Ed you are going to have to spend big during the summer to sort this rabble of a squad out, I’d start by shipping the captain if I were you, though on Saturday’s showing you’d be lucky to get a half time orange peel as a transfer fee!
Seriously though we all really appreciate your backing Eds01 and 02, you must come over one year as Ken’s speeches alone are worth the trip 😜 Well done everyone on Lee’s United (even if it could have been 8-7 had MK Scouser put his boots on the right feet before kick off 🥰)
Great to see everyone again, pity about the football itself 🥴.
