Wasn't able to see the match, so won't comment on it.
On the OS, though, saw the final scenes after full time. Again, as with the other day, what strikes me is the absence of hysteria. No silly Klopp-like gurning, all of them joining hands as if they were at a bloody boy scouts jamboree and running over to the Kop. No idiot dancing antics from Arteta, and frantic celebrations by Arsenal players as if they had actually, at this point, won a trophy. No, just a wander over to the supporters, smiles and a few hugs between the players as if they've had a good work-out on the training pitch, Pep looking satisfied at a job well done. Rodri wasn't even smiling particularly as he clapped our away fans. Just looking fierce.
The contrast could not be more stark. These guys know. They just know.

Pep and Txiki are very clear about character being the all important factor in a player.
This is why we keep winning. One game at a time. What a privilege to see it in action.
You have captured it perfectly. These guys just know.
 
We got the all important three points. A good first half, full of energy and movement. Slipped a little in the second but we still controlled the game, everyone played their part and did well.
Nunes did well when he came on, a few good passes and had a couple of good runs driving us on.
On we go to Sunday.
 
great performance all round. Controlled the game from start to finish. What a press throughout. Kyle with two assists and a couple of brain farts, whats not to like? Phil, Bernie and kev in midfield was like watching a kaleidoscope. They were brilliant. Shout out to the tall quick lad that came on with 20 minutes to go and did a passable impression of prime Rodri. Cant remember his name but so pleased they kept Nunes on the bench.

Fucking genius.

Looping a header which was the only way he could score.

Every other player in the league heads it straight, into the Keepers hands!

Has Kev scored a header previously?

The Boys in Blue didn’t give in. They fought to the end. Thank you City, thank you lads, thank you fans. You showed ‘em, you showed ‘em all. Especially the Southern Softie Gulls. Sorry you lot but we are good.
Especially the biased know nowt whatchamacallits who call themselves media.
Especially the Specsavers needing wimbledots who thought they’d drag us down. How did that work for you you fudgesickle, shiitake mushrooms? Not well, because once again you forgot who we are: We are MANCHESTER CITY THE BEST TEAM IN THE LAND AND ALL THE WORLD!!

Bring ‘em on, bring ‘em all on. :-)
