If he was patronising us he’d have said we stopped them scoring 3 minutes longer than Cheltenham did

City are going to win everything

The Boat Race maybe, the National perhaps.....but I just think they’ll get pipped Eurovision.

Well folks hope you all don't mind me commenting on here, Anybody have any problems with it then its completely understandable.
Not here to take the piss or anything of the sort.
Nice comments on here from a City point of view lots of praise for us which their normally is to be fair.
Just a few questions about tonight's game and how you think Everton are progressing.
Did Carlo get his tactics wrong? As in would you of liked to see Everton higher up the pitch pressing.
No Tom Davies In ahead of Gomes ( which i was happy to see it be honest)
And lately Ben Godfrey who looks like a really good signing! A lot of players Everton have bought of late haven't been what was expected but Godfrey looks captain material.

That’s not true...wine or spirits also helps......

Spirits if we win this lockdown for me lid. Forgot to get anything in so I’ve had to battle with Carling and I’ve had better Saturdays lol

Interesting game that.
They were not far off putting in a very impressive defensive performance.
They did more than just keep them out, they did it well. 85% of the way tonight to achieving a sort of milestone that form foundations for further milestones.
Once you know your defense can stand against the best in those types of games your counted in, then it changes the team. Reckon Carlos wants 100% before moving on.

It really brings out the romantic in me when you see the richest team in the league win everything. Its a beautiful game. Let's hope city dominate for the next 20 years. Thier money deserves it. Capitalism is fantastic but it really shines in sport. Glorious.

Sad state of affairs it is!

(Almost) Everybody praising the Application Workrate, Effort and even, yes - The Intensity.

So where was it Vs Burnley, Fulham, Newcastle etc, etc.

Every game is a 'Big Game' not just The Derby or Untd, or Spurs & City in the Cup.

Yes! I look at you first Mr Gomes, but others can shuffle their feet in a sheepish manner too.

Carlo's tactics are Carlo's tactics. He doesn't change them. He is an old school Italian coach. You keep what you have and if an opportunity comes along you take it.

As a City fan you must remember Mancini and his 3 holding midfield players.

City have moved on we are still doing a poor impression of a cautious outdated Italian side from yesteryear. Four years ago we beat you 4-0 today we didn't even lay a glove on you.

Are you advocating for the return of Koeman?

In perspective and all that.

Shocking that. What a dignified man he is. He’s been on BBC Northern Ireland previously and never shown any bitterness towards the backward, tribal situation here which resulted in what those involved did to his son.

When I was at Uni in Liverpool I was ashamed to state where I came from. It’s got better in terms of there being an almost complete cessation of paramilitary activity but it’s still very backward with the same never ending tribalism. I don’t follow any Norn Iron news (the politics is comical), and also largely avoid local programmes. In following stuff from abroad I can almost pretend I’m living somewhere else that is civilised. If one article to could sum up this place it’s this:
