Ref doing his best to have an even game. No booking for Barkley, quick to book KDB, also quick to give 1 or 2 frees against us, 1 on nunes where I think he made out no contact and not sure what the one at the end was they lumped into the box. Then there were all the pulls in the box, none of...

"Having KDB and Haaland in the same team is a cheat code", what could be an innocent gaming reference which in reality I think is a subtle dig from the commentators nearly every time the 2 link up.

KDB said in his interview 90 minutes is not in him at present. If he is to become more injury prone later in years, would he accept this ultimate bench weapon role where he destroys tired legs in the last half hour? What does the next 2-3 years have in store for him? Could he be tempted away...

I see the 11 like above but with Akanji central stepping into midfield as he did last night. Alvarez must start at expense of Jack and Kovacic as rested will probably be in ahead of Rico who was superb. Rico and Jack on towards the end for fresh legs and control. Haaland knows goals are due at...

Erling is going home with the match ball so outside of him, Alvarez for me. Foden vote surprises me in how close he is to Erling. I'll have to look closer when MOTD is on. Gomez did excellent for the goal & Bobb had a bit of skill left my jaw on the floor

Good luck Cole. A frustrating one to take as a fan but great money coming in for an academy product. Wish him well but not success at our expense. Got to trust the club on this one

"Who let the Doks out?! Who? Who? Who? Who?"

The Camden (sports bar), massive screen (like size of a small bungalow), nice food, great DJ at end of night. Busy part of town outside Templebar. Best location safety-wise of other major sports bars imo, namely Woolshed & The Living Room. If you do go to Templebar, there is a sports bar...

Ortega Rico Stones Laporte Gomez Phillips Mahrez Alvarez Foden Palmer Haaland Stones and Haaland off after the hour. We have wiggle room to afford a slip up. It's all about Madrid next Wednesday. Gomez, Phillips, Palmer have a point to prove. Laporte simply needs minutes (before he is off to...

Blues will watch the game regardless of pundits. Would the game be more palatable for reds to watch seeing their ex-players opinions? Probably & it keeps them relevant weirdly. If it was a blue love-in, less people might watch. They're after numbers. Hargreaves I don't mind at all as he's...

Camavinga went down under no contact from Rodri I think it was and free given. Kroos diving when Kev challenged him, again making no contact but no booking as he'd have been off. Carvahal must've had 4/5 very poor tackles and somehow never booked. I hope Pep let's these be known in his pressers...

That's an even better debate as both Silva and KDB are legends in their own way. I believe the 2nd is more 'Pep' so emotions aside, that's got to be my answer. They'd control the game better. Ederson is perfect for how we play as is Rodri, coin toss between Silva and KDB, and Haaland has...

"Not enough in that" I kept hearing the female commentator on BT saying and pretty sure have heard her saying it many times before in matches where decisions have not went city's way. Must be her go to phrase for glossing over city injustices. Regards the penalty shout, Partey clearly isn't...

After the WC Kev looked a shadow of himself. I had real doubts about him. How glad am I that I was so wrong. He is above anyone ever to play midfield in the PL

Xhaka slip in first half, no contact from what I saw, city break forward with a dangerous attack and Oliver decides to pull play back for a free to arsenal. Clear from then, he was going to be shambolic. A lot on here reckon he'll get the FA cup final. On tonight's display, there is no way that...
