Match Thread Manchester City v Everton - Preview, Match Report & MotM Poll

[Blueboy57]

What a bunch of spoilt, entitled, brats they are at the Etihad. They all turned up expecting another easy 3 points & for us to roll over for them. When we didn't & came away with a well deserved point, the loons on Bluemoon are raging at the officials. I mean, you couldn't make it up could you. Firstly, there's the blatant penalty that was denied to us at the end of last season which could have sent us down. Secondly, Haaland should have gone after that ridiculous lunge that could have snapped the lad's ankle. Come on you Gunners !!!!

I'm trying to understand. Get POUNDED by Bournemouth two straight games and then put in a battling performance like this at City. Can anyone make this make sense? I cannot figure out this team...

Dave I’m sorry mate, but we are a pale shadow of that side. I can’t honestly celebrate with a beer emoji after yesterday despite a good performance.

Not yet.

if everton ever win multiple premier league titles, play the best football, have the best manager, have the best players, sign the best youth prospects and win numerous cup trophies and reach champions league finals in my lifetime and i then end up moaning because we fail to beat someone like brentford at home due to maybe them playing an unattractive style of football and defending for their lives for most of the match after having beaten them 10 times in a row previously, then please shoot me in the head.

And having watched City for a few good days out with some mates away at Gilligham, Macclesfield, Walsall, Cambridge etc when they were in division 3 I can tell you back then they were in a bigger dreamland than what you suggest. Great performance by our lads. We went toe to toe with them but I don’t begrudge them their success one bit.

...only Schrondinger's cat may harbour some 50/50 clue around the wherewithal navigating Everton's travels ...the rest of us are left levigated in their travails.

Everton That

yep...City fans have embraced the arrogance they once castigated their derby rivals over....entitlement.

Plus ça change...

Absolutely shocked we are fist on MOTD, but even more shocked that they did not show the KDB assault or Haalands ’tackle’.

Yet more evidence that the obvious bias we have all commented on are there.

I'm ok with the tackle though. It shows our man got to the big fella.

The point I’m trying Tom make is that if that was the other wayaround it would be red!

Haaland gets away with a yellow and Tarkowski gets yellow for arguing it should have been more so no real punishment for City including the KDB Assault.

City fans are a right bunch of spoilt sods. I hope we're not going to get like that after we've won the prem a couple of times.

City fans are a bizarre bunch, sometimes I like City and their fans sometimes I hate them. I remember when their ground was half empty for most games other than United. While I hate Leeds with a passion and their fans they've stayed pretty loyal to them, Newcastle the same, although they were once deluded morons. What I don't understand is how they have become so entitled in recent years and act worse than their rivals do when they lose or even draw. Attacking Celtic fans in the home end, cos they can't fill their ground, did the same to ours.
