Automatic qualification for last 16?!?! I'd bite your arm off if you offered me that!!!!!!

Forest could win the whole thing. Playing like last season under Dyche.

It’s tough Best looked a very good player but when you look at what Cruyff did for Dutch football

But Best was a different gravy.
What he was able to do in 6" of mud and people like 'Chopper' Harris tackling him at waist level was just other worldly.

So you think a team that played attacking football and were top scoers in 7/10 of Pep's seasons were boring? They averaged 91 goals a season too and set records with goals scored and goal difference. I prefer the old school 442 with proper wingers and two up front but can't believe you could call City boring. What did you think of Barca under Pep and also Bayern?

Please can you keep facts out of your opinions please

Surely if a person says something is boring, and they are not trolling, then their view is 100% correct. Because they are describing their own emotion.

Doesn't mean they are saying you should feel the same thing. One person can say its boring, another can say it is exciting, and both are correct.

I also found City boring. Not because they often played out stalemates. The opposite. It was often a no contest. There was little risk. It's great for fans of the clubs, and their stress levels. Dull for many others

Did you find Utd boring when they did exactly the same in the nineties and noughties. And very often City were on the end of some of Those no contests. and if memory serves me right Utd were the greatest team in the world then.

Did you read the very last bit you highlighted? The bit where I said it is great for fans of that club!?

It isnt for me to say how boring Man Utd were back then. I wanted us to win, we were winning, I was happy. It is for other fans to judge, in their subjective opinion

Bet City are happy no VAR - he was clear then when he got taken out

Yes one of the top players I had the privilege to see live.
