He looked happier in that video and so he should be. The tactical change at half time worked really well for him and the team. Yes, his hand was forced a bit with Haaland but Grealish coming on meant we retained the ball better and able to control the game like we used to. Hopefully its a start of a good period for us.

I was bemoaning the Nico swap at half time as I thought we needed an attacking tweak not a defensive one, but that substitution changed the game. The kid WAS the attacking tweak, I just didn't appreciate it before I saw it.

As for Grealish, I love that lad too. I don't think the people on here who keep saying that he brought us stability by retaining the ball BUT wished he'd shoot more often, actually get it. The stability came because he doesn't lose the ball, because he doesn't shoot, and because he doesn't seem to mind getting a little whack as long as he gets a free-kick for his troubles. He's learned a lot since joining us IMO.

What if we allegedly cheated and won nowt? Would we have future titles and cups expunged?

Oh this one is brilliant (I'm laughing not angry)

The Guardian have interviewed a teenager from Myanmar. They say she is a typical teenager, loves her boyfriend, cartoons and supports Manchester City.

The thing is........She's a trained sniper who doesn't know how many she's killed fighting against the evil government regime

We've finally made it. Even the rags can't boast they have a trained killer.

Don't moan about the tourist at the ground sitting next to you. It could be a trained killer on holiday.

I keep seeing this pricks name every now and again.
Who the fuck is he?

From the Guardian.

Forest v City and Palace v Villa is certainly not the least interesting FA Cup semi-final lineup in recent years, but it also feels inevitable now that City will lurch to yet another Wembley triumph. At least Dion will be on hand to remind Kevin De Bruyne and co where the stairs are. Other presenters and pundits will do their best to bring some much-needed Dublin-esque gusto to proceedings – as will Forest, Palace and Villa – but just like Mitchell and Webb’s very own property programme, it might be in everyone’s interests to hurry this one along and just give the FA Cup to Manchester City now. Hurrah!

Jelly and ice cream when this lot fold.

The bbc at its finest.
In a 'who is Nico' article.......
'OReilly, who has yet to start a Premier League game, came off the bench'

But further on.....

OReilly has played in the Premier League and Champions League......

I'm confused, did a 15 year old write that and somebody stuck their name to it ?
Emlyn Begley Sports Journalist hmmmmmm

I've got enough spirit that would fill every league ground in England, but I definitely didn't want Bournemouth to win, nor did my highly spirited Swindon Town-supporting mate who still refers to Bournemouth as 'that Div 3(S) team!

Dublin? That isn't Dildo Dublin by any chance.

Yep, the article says this -

“O'Reilly, who has yet to start a Premier League game, came off the bench at half-time to assist two goals in Sunday's 2-1 comeback win at Bournemouth.”

And then further on says this -

“O'Reilly has played in the Premier League and Champions League from the bench this season and started in the Carabao Cup - but his headline acts have been in the FA Cup”

Nothing wrong with that.

There's something wrong with the "Whats next....CHELSEA?" bit though. He's signed til 2028 ffs. The bbc are just as interested in clickbait and wind ups as the rest of the shit media out there.

I'm not sure he's going to feel comfortable sitting in the Etihad press box after that headline. Stupid of him to show his profile pic.

Oh I'm sure he'll be as brazen as the others who write their bullshit.
He'll be having his freebies then go back to writing his anti city guff.
