General Premier League Thread 2022-23 - mod note in OP 12/03/23

I was talking about the 19/20 season, you corrected me. I said City had an injury and went out the following summer, spent big to get top quality backup and you said I was wrong - you said they signed Akanji, they signed Dias.

It would be crazy to get rid of Klopp after all he has done BUT there may be a bit of merit to the idea.

The fact that issues that had already been noted and were being exploited by teams in October are STILL the same issues present and exploited in April is insane.

His stubborness has probably been one of their biggest issues this year.

Palace with 31 shots and 9 on target.

That's surely more that January to March combined 🤣

Was just going to post about this. Was he trying to goad the opposition players into a reaction or was he mocking them after their team just conceded? Only he will know.

For all the money Man City have spent, they haven't bought any class. It starts with their manager and carried through the club. Pep even doubled down on his antics after the game with very sarcastic replies to the questions.

Off the pitch, Man City fans yet again had very audible chants mocking a stadium disaster. After the club had previously asked them to stop chanting about it.

At least this time, the club actually acknowledged that it happened and issued an apology hidden away somewhere but it's not available on twitter feed for the masses to see.

When the same chants happened in the return fixture, Man City as a club refused to issue a public apology.

A week later, Pep did come out with an uber-sarcastic reply of apology like the one above, saying he was "so sorry" that it happened. He claimed he never heard them, even though he was in the stadium and it was clearly audible for everyone else. No apology of any sort from the club themselves in the public domain. It's like they want their fans to continue to mock stadium disaster where fans lost their lives.

Pep also had to apologise to Steven Gerrard for trying to belittle him in response to the charges of financial cheating by Man City.

Dire stuff again today. A lot of square pegs in round holes.

Mudryk looks a waste of money.

Liverpool bus hit by a brick? Silly behaviour and should be called out when it happens, that Liverpool idiot who threw the brick at the City bus - wonder what he’s thinking now. Some morons going to these games in fairness.

I've said it before, but amid all of Chelsea's newcomers, I find it strange that Loftus Cheek seems to be a regular. Total meh player. And what has happened to Mount that he isn't even among the first five subs? At least you know he'll press all day.
