Will they again be singing "Knick knack, paddy whack" as their anthem as part of the reconstruction with Ten? They may find their fans are too old for nursery rhymes.

Kevin dragged City to victory. Back at the top of his game. Top top world class player when on form. The presence of Dias steaded the ship and inspired confidence. We played better after he came on. We have missed his influence.

We do miss Sergio.

OK if so.

John Stones for a near impeccable performance attacking and defending. Nathan Ake good in defence but was beaten for the first goal.

Full strength, rested Liverpool side attacking a weakened, tired City side. We are not helped by an outnumbered midfield and Joe Hart back in goal.

Years ago the UAE identified key sectors to move into to reduce oil dependancy. One was sport. Remember Khaldoon saying they had a 20 year plan for City? This may already be extended. They were always looking to invest in growth and ultimately self sufficiency. With current oil revenues, the...

Desperate last call by owners who thought they had a cash cow. A downward spiral is on the cards.

Well done West Ham. Anyone know what happens regarding Champions League entry if WHU win, in view that City or Liverpool could also win the CL?

Aaaah the Skyrack! I remember going out to drink there by candlelight BITD to stay warm when we had power cuts. Good to know they now show football.

Interesting shift in reporting this week in that City had blanket headline coverage thoughout the media after the AM game. Unheard of when playing away when Liverpool were playing at home on the same day in the same competition and going through. Most significant was the universal praise for...

The Atletico Madrid players protested in the belief that they were allowed a minimum 2-3 bad fouls at least early in the game before a booking, mobbing the ref and holding up fingers. The ref went along with this so lots of bookings late in the game when he had no choice and it did not matter...

Revenues continue to rise with continued City success and global media exposure plus the halo effect throughout CFG. We have become a juggenaut that FFP failed to stop. The business model of the footballing elites has been shown to be inferior with things like 'history' and shirt sales...

Kev for being back to his best. To be mentioned in dispatches: - Nathan for another solid performance - Phil for changing the game and outcome

Everton's golden age was probably the 1960's under Harry Catterick when they were "Beneficiaries of the Littlewoods pools money". The benefits of Littlewoods money was starting to be felt by Liverpool as they rose from being a second division club from massive investment under Shankly. It is...

This. The game has changed, even the pitches are different. Gazza was of his time. I am confident Foden will be of his.

Stones and Gundo unsung heros but KDB made a difference with his work rate and telling passes not going astray. .

Kevin. Back to his imperious best.

In these uncertain times, it is hard to see a better place for Pep. He has full backing from City with people he is comfortable to work with. There are a number of young players coming through who will be his legacy. Plenty of time to take on an international side. It looks like he is enjoying...

Current PR noise is about the redevelopment of the Swamp. I cannot see City being behind the curve and are probably keeping their powder dry with the Arena already in hand. Problem for the rags is money and the possiblity of over extending their finances so are likely to be trumped by our...
