Y’all are finishing ahead of us if today is any indication

Grealish finding himself in yet another relegation battle.

Pep just can’t beat The Harry Kane team at the new stadium.

Good luck closing that gap between all of the other title contenders, you morons

You can lose the first four games and I still have City as title favorites. Look how bad last year's start was. I fully expect United to be on top the first 4-5 weeks based on fixtures but I still have money on City winning it all.

I just hope the display today from your attack will make you increase the bid for Kane to complete the deal.

Tanganga must have had a legit 3-4 fouls in the first 10 minutes and didn't get booked. At one point the ref called Lloris over to talk to him and Tanganga lol.


For a team as good City is, they have such glaring holes at ST and LB. If Bergwin didn't suck Spurs would have won by at least 2 or 3 goals.

At that point he had four (what ended up being 36% of their total fouls) after...20 minutes, I think, and yes, they were legit clattering into Grealish/Sterling fouls. His fourth foul and instead of being booked his captain is told to calm him down—ridiculous, no matter how easily players go down or have a reputation for going down. (Spurs were the better side, though)

I'd love to see intentional and rotation fouling addressed (especially as I prepare to watch Saka be mauled for another season) but there's no way it happens in England right now.

I bet he's still distracted by the massive, empty trophy case he walked by on his way in that he can't focus during the match itself.
