Come on Wigan. Great win. It was a red card and if it was the other way, then the messiah will be wanting the player sent off. Incredible win.
And City fans showing their lack of class by destroying the stadium and throwing insults and punches at the Wigan stewards.

19 Feb 2018 22:32:04
It's an absolute disgrace, Aguero swung for a fan too. I'd love to see the referees report from this one. I'm sure it's far from the image cities owners want to convey. Fair play to Wigan though, great defensive performance and a great striker in Will Grigg.

19 Feb 2018 22:32:04
You said it yourself Pep, protect the players.

19 Feb 2018 22:34:22
Disgusting scenes from Guardiola, his players and their fans. I guess money cannot buy you class.

19 Feb 2018 22:53:47
He needs a six game stadium ban for his half time antics.

19 Feb 2018 22:59:09
The irony of the red card is a thing of beauty.

19 Feb 2018 23:04:47
It was absolutely disgusting how some of them reacted to the incident today and rightly so if that was United or Mourinho it would be a big story tomoorrow .

Just to let you if that was how mourinho behaves or our players i wouldve been just as annoyed.

Can't stand guardiola can't stand city. The man is nothing but a hypocrite.

I'm hoping there are consequences to some pretty strong scenes but I doubt it.

I take 2 things from tonight, the are out of a comp and realise they aren't unbeatable. Oh and they are not the same team without kdb.

19 Feb 2018 23:36:09
I loved it when fergy dished out the verbal .
Cantona dropping that idiot was a highlight of the 90s for me .
Although to be fair 90s are a blur.

19 Feb 2018 23:53:55
It was a red all day long, reckless and over the ball. We've said lately that it's ironic that city want protection and then behave like they did. Guardiola didn't like the Wigan managers reaction because he knew that it was exactly how guardiola would react if it were the other way round. I also thought the diving and screaming of Danilo and Bernardo Silva in particular was shameful.
None of it will get mentioned though. Then comments at the end of the game saying they've knocked out one of the best teams we've seen ever? Wtf is that about? They could have a mighty fall.

20 Feb 2018 00:07:29
Well said Deano they 100 percent aren't the same team with kdb even to an extent Sterling has played a big part for them nicking important goals at crucial times.

20 Feb 2018 00:08:09
I agree supa city have been nothing short of magnificent this season that I concede, yet they still haven't won a trophy yet so the utter tripe about them being one of the best ever is ridiculous.

Oh and no treble this season bad luck lads 😂.

20 Feb 2018 01:16:57
Mention of Cantona is relevant here. Aguero has struck a fan. I wonder what will happen to him. I would predict a 3 game ban and nothing else.

20 Feb 2018 04:26:40
Will be very interesting to see if the press starts to turn the tide of love to hate against city after that behaviour. Can do very strange and destructive things to a manager and team. Mourinho doesn't get the credit he deserves for handling it as well as he does even if it does get to him sometimes.

Imagine if the wheels properly came off!

20 Feb 2018 05:36:58
Too bad money can buy City any class. Disgrace for Aguero for hitting Wigan fans for celebrating Wigan's victory at Wigans OWN home ground.

20 Feb 2018 06:43:13
And what irked me is Shearer saying it's only a yellow. If the Wigan player hadn't jumped off, we could be looking at a broken leg.
Then Shearer compounded his utter tripe of a commentary by actually trying to protect Aguerro at the end.
Fans should not be on the pitch, but there again, professional footballers should not be throwing punches or kicks at fans. If you do, you should get a cantona like ban. But he won't.
Get over yourself Shearer. You missed out on joining God's own team and we kept Solskjaer. We don't want Shearer he's effing dearer.
And lastly, Mourinho isn't my favourite manager, but if he acted like the Messiah did, he'll be looking at a full FA hearing and a 5 game ban. It'll be interesting to see what happens. Nothing in all likelihood.
Bottom line, City got beat and showed their lack of class by their behaviour. Small club small mentality.

20 Feb 2018 10:02:49
The guy was in Aguero's face. It's not like he went looking for a fight. I've no issue with what he did. I understand fans coming onto the pitch after a result like that, but I'm sure it can be intimidating in certain instances for the opposition players, when they start circling them, and acting like cockwombles.

19 Feb 2018 22:02:05
Pep spitting the dummy again-PRICELESS!

19 Feb 2018 23:55:04
Hate the little cheating pill popper.

19 Feb 2018 14:06:29
Hi Ed any truth in interest in timo Werner?

{Ed002's Note - Not from MU.}

19 Feb 2018 14:27:30
Cheers ed.

19 Feb 2018 11:21:09
anyone know what's going on with the reserve team never seen them so far down the table.

19 Feb 2018 11:38:27
Always found it a bit odd that they got Sbragia back in charge.

19 Feb 2018 12:00:36
Putting two and two together to make five, and looking at the reviews of the players in each age category, I think that perhaps the Ynder 23s are a legacy of the much-derided youth structures of a few years ago; now there’s been a turnaround in investment, facilities, overseas recruitment and coaching focus, the younger teams are looking more promising - so should start feeding through to the senior teams in a few years.

We’re still behind City in these contexts but at least we’ve turned it around and are once more catching up.

19 Feb 2018 12:14:24
Its a lot to do with the changes of the team. A lot of u18 players playing or getting involved in senior trams such as u21 and u23.

Look at examples of mctominay, rashford, gomes . If they played consistently for u23s then they will be in a much higher position in the table.

19 Feb 2018 23:32:23
Singh there is a lot right in what you say. We have suffered due to the attention that has had to be focused on the first team. Managers post Fergie have even to this day had to focus on trying to get the club back to the elite level it was at. There hasn't been a consistent policy to integrate the youth and lay down a playing style which goes from the youngest players right through to the first team. This is slowly being addressed now. Players like Jesse and Marcus have been fast tracked into the first team leaving the U23 s and others light on quality. There is one additional important factor. City have developed a wonderful strategy over the past five or six years to attract the best young players from worldwide. They have now put themselves in pole position in Manchester for prospective talent. Chelsea in the South have done likewise but Chelsea have no track record for promoting their youth and we can see how so many of their youth academy ultimately move to other clubs. Jose has to buy established stars at the moment but I do think once we are really competitive he will focus more on the u23s and below.

Totally agree with that Hendon red but i am yet to be convinced by City's policy of bringing youth through.

They recently let go a very promising player in Sancho who i believe has the same amount of talent as Gomes for us but we managed to convince Gomes to stay and follow examples of Rashford and co.
