Watched the match back for a second time last night & I'm happy to report we were just as brilliant as we were at the Etihad & the first time I watched us back! :-)

My favourite moment of the match was KDB scooping the ball round the corner to Mahrez in the lead up to the Alvarez equaliser. Only Super Kev could've done that.

His speed of thought & accurate scoop completely wrong-footed Henderson & Robertson, & it was sheer perfection from Mahrez to Gundog onto Jack for Alvarez to score.

The three points were crucial, but it was the manner of the victory which speaks volumes. We've got zero wriggle room left & have to keep our pedal to the metal until the end if the season.

Still buzzing! :-)

My missus favourite part was watching ‘Eddie kicking a can down the road’ ( her words) during the build up for our 4th.

He actually did it 3 times during that passage of play.

Rags still hold the record for quickest emptying of an away end, Wembley 2011, not sure that will ever be beaten.

One of best days of my life that was. In some ways:)

I take it he Ryan Giggs song is out?

Another thing. We were called up for offside immediately by the linesman. Liverpool were allowed to carry on until the action had ended. Not saying our calls were wrong but why the two different interpretation of the law in one game?

If you mean our offside in the first half then I've not seen it again and couldn't possibly tell from my seat in the north east corner.
In theory, and I stress this is a theory as the PL and their PiGMOL puppets do whatever they want, the assistant should only flag if the offside is obvious and the receiving player is the only attacking player who can play the ball.
If the ref agrees he blows the whistle, otherwise the players keep going.
There was a game a few years ago, possibly Blades v Barcodes when the assistant flagged and the defenders stopped, but the attacking team carried on and put the ball in the net. VAR deemed it onside so the goal was awarded.

Loyal fans who "can't get a ticket" to any game, but the good new is there is no screen test needed for these lot.

Even City Xtra? They've been to games, the Dortmund away this season

The usual pathetic fabrication. And masquerading as an understanding, benign and tolerant analyst doesn't make him any less of a complete scouse twat.

Did anyone ask why tsimikas was in our technical area? Couldn't he have warmed up on klopps side? Do players normally walk in fro t of opposing managers to warm up? If so then it may seem inflammatory when a game is on edge.

Have they made up their minds yet what action is going to be taken against Liverpool for surrounding the referee trying to get Rodri sent off?

VAR missed it, no further action required.

Chelsea (a) 2017/18, "purple" kit, KDB special.

We were sensational that night, even though it was only 1-0

For me, the game at The Emirates, a few days after we dicked them at Wembley in the CC final. That was a fantastic performance.

Same thing happened at Old Trafford, Foden off side and flag goes up, Rashford off side and play on

Everyone will have their favourite video clip of a City moment. The 93.20 is obviously the one BUT that vid is only a hairs breath off it for me. Yesterday I wanted him to jog onto the pitch carrying a brew. It would have sent the twitterati into total melt down.

Said exactly the same, wanted him to stroll on wearing his big coat and a coffee

Have they been charged for surrounding the ref as Notts Forest have been

I thought that the so called "confrontation " happened when the Liverpool players walked into the Home Team's Technical Area .

Under the FA Laws, Law 12 states it's a caution offence for

• deliberately entering the technical area of the opposing team (non-confrontational)

Any referees on here who can confirm that under Law 12 the Liverpool players should have been booked ?

Someone has suggested that it’s a rule that all subs must warm up in the opposition half as the linesman. Which would virtually always be on the left of dug outs. If that’s the case you’ve got a pretty small area where you’re allowed to pass between the home technical area and the pitch.

I can’t find anything to verify that though. Maybe the guy who said it can give a source for that info?

I’ve been trying to recall where away team subs normally warm up. As ridiculous as it seems, despite going to probably something like 500 games at this ground, I can’t ever remember noticing before.
