100%. Walker is a big Sheff Utd fan so (not that he tends to lack motivation) would have been extra determined to play and do well yesterday.

Brilliant game to watch. 3-0 up away from home with 2 minutes to go and Foden and Bernardo were chasing down Shakhtar defenders like we were 3-0 down. Love it.

Made the mistake of visiting Twitter within half an hour of full time. It's amazing how many fans of 'bigger' clubs have an obsession with our attendances and see empty seats as a sign City will never be as big as their club. These will be the same people who confuse our loyal and proud fan base...

I don't think that's a naive view at all. I'd be more concerned about United with a more progressive, player friendly manager in charge than Mourinho. They have been underwhelming so often this season with the set of players they already have and I can't help feeling that's because of a) his...

If ever proof was needed you can't make assumptions about how many points may or may not be enough then last night's game was it. What I do think is fair to assume, is that if we keep our key players fit then we are the best team in the league and should continue to roll at a pace others will...

First of all, maximum respect for anyone proposing new ideas or more importantly actually singing their hearts out to increase the atmosphere on match days. I do think it's important however to keep perspective. Whilst there maybe things the club can do to increase atmosphere, as a general rule...

In my opinion, a top 4 place is the very least we deserve for the way we have played at times this season and that generally the team (and I guess more particularly Pep) have been a little over criticised based purely on where we sit in the league and without actually taking stock of how we have...

In defence of Pep, other than debating whether it was right or wrong to pick Yaya I’m not sure many of us were overly complaining when we saw the team sheet. It was quite obvious from the home leg that whatever they could throw at us we could throw back and then some and the second half last...

Maybe I've had too many beers tonight but I honestly thought the game was a case of two powerful teams cancelling each other out and creating the kind of game nobody truly anticipated beforehand. I doubt any team will go to Anfield this season and allow Liverpool as little as we did in an...

Today clearly wasn't great and a low point performance wise in the Pep era so far. Having said that barring another very easily avoidable, gift of a goal given away, I still think we'd have beat a decent team. We shot ourselves in the foot big time in midweek, missed penalties last week and...

I thought City were outstanding at times on Saturday. Everton are clearly no mugs and we completely dominated from start to finish, that doesn't happen if you aren't on your game. Surprised by some of the negativity on here, sure the result was a little frustrating but it's hard to be critical...

Good post. Really does my head in when people bang on about United sticking by their manager as some proof that's the way all football clubs have to be. Complete bollocks, United 'stuck by' Fergie because they won the cup in 1990. Had they not have done so, he'd have been out like anybody else...

Irrespective of Tuesday, we are not in a position to take chances tomorrow, have to go strong...completely naive to expect Stoke to come and make life easy for us, they have good players. Hart, Zabaleta, Clichy, Kompany, Otamendi, Fernandinho, Toure, Silva, Sterling, De Bruyne, Aguero. Added...

Before last night's game, I was fairly convinced 9 points out of the 15 available would be enough for us - basically meaning United would need to win every game to pip us. Last night was a disappointment given how we played but just maybe we'll look back on the point as one that really matters...

Great team effort last night. Everyone deserves praise but for me the true importance of Kompany was plain for all to see. Not just a true leader and top defender but his defending on the front foot, winning tackles early and high up the pitch set the tone for the rest. He got the whole team...

I really don't get it. By all means give the back up keeper a game in Round 3 at home to lower league opposition but to select him to play a final against dangerous opponents and based purely on sentiment is absolutely ridiculous. There is no football logic behind it whatsoever. It's difficult...

Under normal circumstances we should remain hopeful if not confident we are still firmly in the title race, in fact with 10 minutes to go yesterday I think we were all confident of getting 3 points and putting ourselves firmly back in the race. The concerning thing is that by the time we play...

We won't get any sympathy for this because we spend millions but whilst we may have the most talented squad in the league, we don't have the biggest (or if we do we are contending with more injuries than anyone). Our bench today was not good enough for a team challenging on all fronts in...

Interesting point....and not the first time I've noticed it happen at The Etihad. Why is it when a game is 'over' as a contest, it's common for there to be just 2 minutes of added time? Guaranteed if it's 1-0 today, there's at least 3/4 as if adding to the drama and as pointed out should have...

I must admit I don't normally buy into the theory that the collective media have an agenda against us as there are a few journalists at least who appear quite happy to be positive about us (Martin Samuel, Henry Winter). The BBC website report on last night's game however is quite frankly...
