Man City Discussion

Cause West Ham at the London Stadium are atrocious ?

I think anyone would be. It was a good stadium for the Olympics, but it's absolutely in no way a football stadium. Horrible for atmosphere, pitch a literal mile from the crowds.

Taking nothing away from City's performance, though. I only got to see the second half but it was the easiest game I've ever seen. Aguero's touch for his goal - truly magical.

City wins 5-0 with Stones scoring the final goal of the night. A header, his first goal for the Cityzens.
 
Manchester City charged in relation to FA rules on anti-doping

Sounds like a technical violation even if the charges are upheld,
That's a little strong though (the headline, I mean). What it seems they did was change their practice schedule and didn't notify the FA as per the rules. Seems minor but the issue is the FA has the right to do 6am to 11pm random testing and so needs to know where the players are at any given moment (as far as I understand). So if the practice schedule gets changed the FA needs to know. From what I've read it's a minor infraction with maybe a fine, although I'm certainly no expert. No doping violations though, which is what all the headlines make it sound like.

Yep. Hasn't stopped the West Ham fans on twitter from getting giddy over the idea that City might get kicked out of the FA Cup and West Ham reinstated though...
 
I woke up late, just in time for Man United-Liverpool...

I haven't seen any video or commentary on the match. I only saw the stats on One Football app: 75% possession and no goals, losing 4-0. What the fuck happened?
