Manchester City 17/18 discussion | "If you're here for the Champions clap your hands" (#6505)

I see namco is back

Namco is the Redcafe version of Bluemoons ‘Rag’. Anyone who posts something the bitters cant handle they’re accused of being Namco. That or you bring up their post count, posting history or location.

Give it a rest will you. Whoever Namco is it’s hard to believe they post as much shite as you.

You do realise that namco has been banned multiple times on here don’t you and every time he pops up with a new username on here it’s not long before the mods are onto it. Mark my words - the poster I just quoted has namco’s MO all over it.

I’m totally enamoured that you have such a high opinion of my posts by the way.

Anyway, have a nice Christmas........and mind the gap ;)

Namco and his repeat incarnations has been correctly banned innumerable times by multiple mods... because he’s an identifiable repeat returning WUM.

All the times a poster has been called out as namco, the mods have checked that it is the same idiot and banned them.

The last time (iirc) the mod was getting pretty exasperated that the muppet was wasting their time repeatedly, as alluded to in their pre-ban thread msg to them.

Edit: heh timing!

It is getting tiresome TBH. According to the City crew on here, there's been about 10 different Namco's on the board at any given time. I'm sure whoever this Namco was would have been IP banned long before all these different Namco's would have joined. If he is still posting here the City lot are just adding to his reputation. This is part of the reason this thread has turned to shite. Too many City posters playing hunt the Namco rather than having an intelligent debate.

Love that we have opposition fans on here as it's much more lively debate. @M18CTID & @JASR i implore you to start posting more constructively or I will be forced to put you on ignore.
 
If they are going to win the league anyway, then I'd rather them just go unbeaten until we face them again, and just snatch and grab a 1-0 win at Etihad to end the Invincible season.
 
Just skimmed over the last 7-10 pages and I'm quite enjoying this. Love an intense rivalry and I hope this one builds to a rivalry akin to the one we had with the Gooners in the late 90's and early 00's.

Carry on guys :devil:

And whoosh... namco’s latest WUM incarnation is banned.

Ta to the mod.

As already mentioned, ‘namco’ is not applied to anyone but...errr...namco.

The use of the word ‘rag’ on BM when applied to a poster, appears to be applied in jest as well as an insult.
It certainly isnt a name applied to a singular, sad individual.
 
Seen a few people on twitter and bluemoon suggest it is the best side in prem era. I disagree. Right now, great team. But the Utd 99 side, the Arsenal invincibles and Chelsea 04/05 all beat them.

if City win the PL, only then would it be appropriate to examine the GoaT type records.

However, with regard to just the stats at this juncture of the PL season the following are in City’s favour compared to the arsenal and United teams:
Wins.
Losses/draws.
Points.
Goals for.
Goals against.
Goal difference.
More competitive league.

I haven’t seen a comparison with Chelsea , so can’t comment on them.

Until May it’s all a bit moot though.

Yeah, the issue with that is that it doesn't take into account the strength of the rest of the PL that each of those teams faced.

As it stands, the PL right now is fairly weak, Chelsea are under strength as are Arse, and compared to previous seasons so are Liverpool and Spuds.

The real mark of a truly great team is multiple PL wins, and success in Europe.

Til then, it's great for you lot, but it's just hype and talk.

Good football is good football though, and hopefully your little stadium starts filling up, but it means nothing in terms of being an actual great side until multiple league titles and European Cups start coming in.

Personally think at their best they'd play the invincibles and chelsea off the park(also 05/06 chelsea were better than 04/05. They took it easier second half of the season given they'd pretty much won the title in January. 61 points in the first 22 games)
99 united closer to call. 07/08 united rip them to shreds

Without a doubt.

I'd also say that 05/06 Chelsea would simply dominate them.

The PL is weak right now, that's not City's fault, you can only beat who's in front of you, but seriously, other than United (who are still not full strength), all the other bigger sides are weak.

This must be remembered when facing the barrage of citeh hype.
 
Heh, closest that chelsea side got to facing a team comparable to this city was barcelona in CL, and they got schooled in that tie

And the argument for weak opposition goes for chelsea as well(and treble united, and the invincibles)

That Chelsea side were better than this United side. And watching this United side against City, even though we lost, you can see that 05/06 Chelsea would beat this City team.

Just my opinion.

City weren't at their best against you though. Look at their performances leading up to that game

That Barcelona side was also much better then this current City side, with Ronaldinho in his prime.

Heh i dunno. Individually, probably, but they also played at a far slower pace and with far less intensity, and had less organization. Much easier to counter-attack than this city side

Where they? Drogba didn't even have that great of a season and didn't really have a world class season till Mou left Chelsea. The game has changed completely. Teams are far better tactically. even when we won the CL in 08 look at the space we had to counter. Our players were able to ball carry at will because oppositions just dropped back but not very compact and there were more one vs ones back then by far. City would walk the league back then as well.

If using the rules of the game today Makelele would be sent off in the first half.The refs are far stricter and Chelsea wont be able to be as physical. The only advantage Chelsea had was the 433 against the 442 that everyone played. Today that advantage would be 0. They would have the same problem Mou tyeams always have. Breaking down parked buses.

They had Xavi, Iniesta, Messi, Puyol, Busquets, etc, etc, all in their prime. They were streets ahead.

Compared to what era? This is the strongest Spurs and Liverpool for ages. Pool putting 7 goals past teams and shit.

I agree to a degree. I think they are referring to the EPL by itself but yeah they would at least need to win it twice.

The way Barca schooled us, I'd have to disagree. We wouldn't have possession and may show a lack of composure, especially against the press. Again the midfield battle, we would lose it as Carrick, Park and Scholes aren't touching De Bruyne Silva and Co.

That Barca team was miles better than that City team. They also had a better forward line as well as midfield in 08/09 than us. You could replace Ronaldo with Henry and that’s it. Vidic, Rio and VDS are probably the only players who’d have got in their team.

I wouldn’t swap any of our front three from back then with Citys. We had the better defenders too including fullbacks. I’d take Brown/Evra ahead of Walker/Delph. Barca had Alves and Abidal who were better than our fullbacks.

Most importantly that Barca team backed it up like all great teams do. Not just a good six months. They had 5 year dominance on world football.
 
They play great football but feck me they've gotten a lot of shit from dives. The freekick that ended up putting them level against West Ham, the dive by Silva, the KDB dive the other day. Were City this bad before Pep? Or is this just something synonymous with his teams?
 
This should be the only city thread its embarrassing how many threads on here dedicated to them . They must be laughing their heads off on blue moon over how obsessed we have become with them
 
I think fear is contributing a huge amount to their form. Nobody is taking them on and just waiting to be beat, including us.

They aren’t having to play great football to beat teams

Lucky cnuts. Pep must’ve made a deal with the devil.
 
Lucky? More like Vardy and Marez with two shockingly poor penalties.
