Villa do a job on Citeh

[Des Parrot]

Only saw the 2nd half but Villa dominated all over the pitch. Can’t remember a team dominating Citeh in the PL like that for many years. Unai Emery has transformed them.

Re: Villa do a job on Citeh

Aston Villa really did muller them.
I resent the fact that they are known as City.

Would they be the “de facto” City if it wasn’t for Man Utd being the local rivals?
Have they always been the biggest club with City in their name?

Re: Villa do a job on Citeh

Arsenal go to Villa, who haven't dropped a point at home in ages, on Saturday - another home win and I'd say Villa are title challengers even if they're nowhere near the side on their travels that they are at Villa Park.

Man City's record when Rodri doesn't play is very poor - he looks like the one player in their squad who is genuinely irreplaceable.

Steve Cooper still has the support of Forest's away support it seems, but he must be under pressure now.

No other city come close to them in size

i'd say the next biggest is Leicester

Many clubs are dropping their suffixes and we flirted with it for a bit just being know as Cardiff

All the big teams have off seasons, would be nice if this year it’s Man City.

Hopefully it’s a proper title race now. I can see Arsenal and Liverpool competing until the end of the season, but it would be nice if Villa don’t drop off and keep up their form.

Good to see a team in the top 7 that isn't one of the 'plastics'.

Forest look extremely poor last night and had relegation written all over them. First time I have seen them this season, they had an almost different XI starting the game compared to when I last saw them play. Why is Cooper bringing so many players in? Not having a settled team is very much to their detriment. The way things are going he'll end up getting the sack and be back in jackland by Xmas

Speaking on occasions to other fans of ‘City’ clubs, they refer to their clubs as just ‘City’. Are we the only ones who, historically, refer to our club as ‘The City’. Non attending fans often ask me, ‘How are the City doing?’ not ‘How are City doing?’.

Even going to our games is known as ‘Going down the City’, hardly ever ‘I’m going down Ninian or I’m going down CCS’.

So in my opinion the others can be ‘City’ but we are ‘The City’ and that’s final!!!

Wise words!

Anyone else use the phrase "The City" with reference to their own club in conversation, now that's different
