To be fair to Steven, he's never been anything but grateful and stunned that he's ended up where he has. He's never been a big head and has never felt like he deserved any of it. I remember when he followed me on Twitter years ago, when he was Esteemed Kompany and he was in Embers (his old band, we chatted a bit about music for that reason).

He had an ordinary day job and spent that money going to City games and editing his videos. He's had a few lucky breaks over the years, but so what? Ask yourself whether you'd say "Nah" to any of the opportunities he's been offered, like being asked to do CityTV coverage on the last day of the season on the day we could potentially win the league.

He's another Fanzone Danny - named as such because he applied for Sky Sports Fanzone on derby day for a game that we just happened to win. If we'd lost that game in 2008 he'd have just gone back to his life, but we won and so his life changed. A lucky break that I'm sure nobody begrudges him. So why should we begrudge Steven?

Seems like a genuine bloke who got given opportunities and took them. No harm in that.

Has Raheem ever put in a better cross in his career than the one for Gundog's first goal ?

Was going to say the same.

It was most unlike him. But it just adds to the feeling that it was ordained.

We were on the wrong end of events in Madrid but here we scored 3 perfect goals, each of which could have been deflected but weren't.

But back to Raheem. It was an amazing piece of skill under a high degree of stress.

It is easy to judge after the event, but I think losing on the last day and coming second after leading for most of the season until just the last few minutes, opening up the possibility of a Liverpool quad and the subsequent years long gloating from the cultists....
It's the kind of nightmare scenario that drives strong men to drink.

Villa crowded the middle of the pitch making us go wide, they kept showing us inside and then broke with pace, they got it spot on. But..we bring on wide men to attack on the outside, sterling right side, zinchenko left, cancelo also right, the tactical change worked as 2 goals came from those players going round their full back, Gerrard didn't react and that's the difference between a good manager and a great one.
