Where is MOTD??? It's supposed to be on at 10:50 but it's fucking French and Saunders on!

That sounds like really funny porn…

We've just come back from Saudi having won the world club cup, to play a team on a good run in a packed stadium where the fans are on top of you and make a lot of noise in support of a team that will really test you. Everyone would learn a lot about City from the way our lads handled the match. I learned a lot! We went one down. John Stones had to go off injured. We'd been sloppy and careless in the first half. But we came out for the second half and the sloppiness disappeared. We seemed to become aware of who we are and played like world champions. Very satisfactory.

Re the penalty: If the one at Wembley v the rags was a penalty then the one tonight was 100% a penalty.

 

[axlgod]

Brilliant performance full of character. But those are a dirty rabble, textbook ginger **** dalek voice team. Gotta say thought we showed a lot more application in 2nd half. Hopefully we can bottle that team spirit for the rest of the season.

Hahaha, quality

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

Great win in the end. How comes all of Everton get to foul Jack with no consequence and as soon as Jack falls into an Everton player he sees a yellow card ?

Truly repulsive. I don't often go on about the ref. They even out overall. But Jack was kicked to shit throughout the match, then he's booked for a non-foul!! He got the ball both times with the toe of his boot. That was what he was so irate about at the end, and for once, he was absolutely right.

 

[SWPISHOME]

Excellent result! To turn it around in the second half like we did was fantastic. Everyone on here should know by now that this team his character! They've shown it year in year out under Pep.

Hats off to Grealish he's been sensational the last few weeks, Kyle Walker was excellent tonight too along with Phil.

As for Everton, Bunch of clogging bastards, Bunch of cunts. The referee was a fucking twat.

Now we kick on and demolish this league...AGAIN.

One day it will be the same width as his body. I'm here for this.

He's turning into the Kim Yung Un of North Wales.

I think you're a day too late

 

[big gaz]

For those who threw the towel in when Everton scored, did 93:20 teach you nothing?

My heart surgery worked ;-)

Here we go...City got a given a penalty by a dubious decision. Wouldn't have won without it. City get all the big decisions going their way. Cheating. Buy off the officials.
Way too much focus on this decision.

The people that are sprouting this shite are all bitter dick heads.

 

[Coatigan]

Disagree completely. No intent. Just as it hits an arm it shouldn't automatically be a penalty imo. As every pro has just said on the TV. Should never be given for anyone. Even Pep is frustrated with the current law.

I am not arguing there is intent, or that it is unnatural. I am arguing that both are immaterial.

There is often no intent to bring down a player with a last ditch tackle, and somethimes the momentum that does it is perfectly natural. But it is still a penalty and so is this.

 

[Frankie lad]

Stuck £2 on 1-5 at half time at 200.
Was kindly offered £7 at 1-3 and typical city let me down again.
Season changing game today.
You can see the belief in the lads and you could hear it in the stands.
Best team in the world.

Under orders from big bald H these refs.
Can see it a mile off

 

[kinky's boots]

Grealish gets a booking for 1 foul after being fouled half a dozen times himself. And god knows how many fouls Tarkowski committed.

Good win, better second half performance and much needed.

It wasn't even a foul, he fell into him

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

Re the penalty: If the one at Wembley v the rags was a penalty then the one tonight was 100% a penalty.

1000 times more of a penalty, you mean. Jack was jumping, and your impetus naturally takes your arm up with you. Anyone who's ever jumped knows that. Secondly, the ball was clearly stopped by the Everton player. The ball merely brushed Jack's arm. Thirdly, our shot was a certain goal. Theirs was a speculative cross from right on the edge of the box which could easily have come to absolutely nothing.
Hey, fuck it. I'm not going to replay both matches — we won both of them!

 

[chickaroon]

Good all round performance apart from Rodri who had a bit of an off day. Phil outstanding and was impressed by Kovacic when he came on. Although Foden’s goal was the most spectacular I was equally impressed with Bernardo keeping his cool when he scored.

Perhaps Rodri was not 100% fit?

I think you're a day too late

Fuck me no way. I'm in Tenerife, thought I'd have a rest from the booze and saw MOTD advertised and thought bonus I can catch up on the games on one of the few TV channels in the apartment. Fucker!

 

[york away to this!]

On the pen debate. Tiny Michael Owen was saying he just threw himself into the block, almost as if that made it somehow not a handball. That's exactly what made it a handball, you cock...

 

[mancboy]

the ridiculous debate about the penalty is overshadowing two fantastic goals by foden and silva, both beautifully clean and intelligent strikes, the correct decision made by the ref shouldnt overshadow those two pieces of quality

 

[city888]

What a fcuking team
