Great game for him yesterday. But anyone else notice the commentator for the highlights on the City website calls him a Russian? Ooops

Cup. Way too far still to go in the league, so a win against Chelsea doesn't guarantee anything nor does a loss put us out of the picture. And I don't think we ever retained any trophy. And another League Cup win puts us clear in second place with 6 of 'em.

He's a star. WHat I find amazing is that it was only in November last season that he broke Brook's all time record..... and he's now FORTY TWO goals past it! Within a season-and-a-half has already scored nearly 25% more than the previous top goalscorer in our history!!!

Exactly this. As we walked away from the ground, we were trying to think of any player who wasn't crap last night. Couldn't think of one, but eventually we agreed Laporte was probably the least shite.

Paraguay, Uruguay, Jamiroquai, some kind of guay...

Anyone know the date of the Sunderland game? It says it's the week of 21st Jan but can't see tickets up for sale yet. Might try to get to this as a NE blue (and having just got my ticket for Newcastle away, that'd be two games in 2 weeks).

I think I said that for the first 30 years of my City-supporting life!

This is something that's annoyed me for a while. Who is it who compiles the highlights on the Man City website? What is it that makes them think they need to make them balanced and even?! Just watched the extended highlights of the Liverpool game, and they pretty much include all the Liverpool...

Great game, great result, top of the group. Thought the front three of Sane, Jesus and Sterling all looked really sharp, held the ball up well and ran at the Hoffenheim defence constantly. All three had some really good moments of sublime footwork, but Sane stole the show. Foden's second half...

Yeah, I noticed that too, although I have no idea why it's not just 25% chance for each of the 4 teams we can draw. What strange fiddle factor is used to make these differences?

The past was theirs but the future's ours :)

Anyone would think FIFA, like UEFA, are trying to preserve the dominance of clubs with a B team, like Madrid and Barcelona

Also stayed at the Hilton just a couple of months ago, and Hemmingways was only showing live sport on 1 screen when I was there. The others seemed to be showing a staggered loop of Barcelona, Real Madrid and the UAE national team!!

What I don't get is that the criticism is mostly for City. Look at the U17 WC winning team from 2017, and only 2 players have more than 5 first team appearances in a top division team, and both came through our academy. Where is the similar criticism of Chelsea for Hudson-Odoi, or for Liverpool...

So only Mendy & Ederson missed out. They must be gutted!

That’s true enough, but this is clearly a critical part of our business model. Without the £30m from player sales, there would have been no profit

You should’ve been at the Newcastle away game. Even more negative despite being at home, I’d never before seen a team who were clearly under instruction not to engage at all if the ball crossed into their attacking half - even if it was Newcastle who took it over the half way line. I swear that...

Rags got Moscow 3 times out of 5.... we got Dortmund 3 out of 5....!

I only hate the Rags. I would go as far as to say, if Liverpool somehow were to win the league this season, I will be gutted, but a significant part of me will love the pain it causes the Rags

Incorrect. I know I live on a spheroidal planet. It's not belief, it's absolute certain knowledge. I'm a scientist, and have been trained to question any new theory, but there is absolutely no point whatsoever to question this. It's an incontrovertible fact, 100% certainty, completely and...
