Wow, just seen Nick Harris’ tweets from last night. A new low even for him. Hope he’s never allowed to step foot in Manchester again.

Some on here defend him because he suffered a bereavement a few years ago. Sad yes, but who hasn’t?

I’m sorry but that doesn’t give you a free pass to throw around “cheats” and “doping”.

When’s he getting fucking sued???

Sorry who are you talking about?

Never heard of the geezer.

Is he OK?

I think a lot of us 'lesser' club fans love it, its mainly the bitter/bigger club fans that can't handle the fact you have gatecrashed their party and kicked them out.

That football tonight was truly sublime, the goals were excellent, loved Silva's header and was Alvarez's goal his only touch? Certainly his first I think. It was only Courtois who stopped it being 7 or 8 nil

The title is yours and I'll certainly be rooting for you in the FA Cup and CL Final

Yours isn't a 'lesser' club, as 'Hammocity' says elsewhere.

Wolves is a fine, great club, with a long history of success and failure, just like City. Wolves were our opponents at the first game I ever went to at Maine Road in 1959, champions of England and a force to be reckoned with in Europe, in fact trailblazers for English involvement in European competition.

I'll never forget the thrill of that first game. We put four past the champions. Mind, your lads put six past Trautmann that day in reply! When the teams came out, seeing my sky blue heroes was such a buzz. Equally impressive though was the sight of those Gods from Molineux in their old gold and black strip. They looked undefeatable! Always had a soft spot for 'The Wolves' ever since..

So thanks for your compliments about our team. But never, ever think we view any team as 'lesser' than us. Good luck for next season and beyond (except, that is, when you play us..!)

The most idiotic quote from that article was 'No academy players and no Mancunians started for City last night.'

There was 3 fucking academy players on the bench one of whom came on and assisted FFS....

The idiot that wrote that reference about City’s academy needs to understand that it makes the club a lot of money. At the same time it produces players like Phil Foden and Rico Lewis whom if they are a good enough get the opportunity to play in the first team. The academy is all about ensuring we can put the best players on the pitch, if that’s done from selling on talent so we can plough money into player recruitment so be it.

I thought he assisted Alvarez?
Jokes!
It was a peach of a ball.

You’re not lesser clubs or fans, you picked a team for allegiance, family and friends. I honestly never choose City for any other reason than my best maté’s growing up were Blues, it wouldn’t have bothered me me if we won nothing but it’s been great. I hope, and know, you’re going to get some fantastic days following your club, huge respect to you.

Well said Hammo.

I’m going to entertain we could get the treble which considering I was still nervous on 85 mins & 3 up shows I’m still scarred by Cityitus.

The media have served up another night of shit sandwiches, they’ve written off every one of our signings & then have the nerve to then say it’s expected. Everything to pour scorn on the strategy, work ethic, talent, camaraderie, humility of Manchester City so how do give them a big “fuck off!”

One of my early memories at Maine Road was the bloke walking around the ground at full time wearing a sandwich board saying “the end is nigh” which used to sum up the mood. If we win the treble, after the victory tour I’d love the players to be called on stage wearing the board with the most ridiculous insult they’ve had.

Imagine,

KDB “I thought it was lira”
Haaland “joined the wrong club”

Etc etc

Imagine what he'd be worth if he could cross a ball
 
Some of the phrases the media could have used to talk about last night:
  • Greatest performance Europe has seen in years
  • Demolished the eternal European champions
  • Set a new standard for how football could and should be played
  • The inimitable genius of Guardiola
  • The electric environment of the Etihad
  • A flawless performance, where every player knows their role and works fluidly and seamlessly with those around him in the quest for perfection
And some of the kinds of phrases they've preferred to go with:
  • State-funded
  • State-backed
  • Abu Dhabi Abu Dhabi Abu Dhabi
  • State-owned
  • Lavishly-funded
  • Limitless wealth
  • Tainted victory
  • Elephant in the room
  • Unbound by financial restrictions
  • State-funded state-backed state-owned lavishly-funded Abu Dhabi sportswashing project
  • Ruining football
  • Soulless machine
Obviously, not surprised by all this anymore... I think you could show me articles written by Liew, Delaney, Ronay, and a few others side-by-side and I wouldn't even be able to tell you the difference with all the "state-owned sportswashing" crap they insist on shoehorning in EVERY SINGLE TIME.

Ugh, who cares. We're massive. We're on top of the world. Let them all drown in their tears. Sad bastards.
 
I don't think we should get het up or annoyed at all by the purile comments of one or two stupid pundits and media people, there will always be jealous haters out there. From what I've seen in the media, the overall commentary on last night is massively positive. Enjoy blues. Last night was simply great football.
