If Kev isn't the closet thing we've had to Colin Bell then i don't know what is.
If we pick up both big ones this year then that Scottish geezer better get ready for some hell of a statue

We should commission a giant KDB statue if we win the league and they stay up for Evertons new stadium , looking out over Liverpool city Centre like Jesus over Rio. Win win

That was 'a glass half full/empty' performance, but massive three points. I hope some positivity from Pep and fighting talk, I don't want to hear how many medical treatments we had overnight.

If you swapped that game for a home game in October no one would have even blinked about the first half. We looked good, we worked hard, and it always felt like a goal was coming.

Kev is the best player in the league, and he looks up for this, even if some of our fans don't.

Dias is back, already back to his leadership.

On to the next one.

Agreed. Was interesting that the two ex pros - Nedum and Michael Brown - were both v calm at half time. Sounded like they knew what was coming, they understood the rhythm. Whereas mere mortals either flap because we’re too emotional or get sucked in by ‘independent’ commentary who’re desperate to see us lose, i.e any media outlet other than the City site.
Anyway, 1 down, 6 to go. A big win tonight against a team who are v conservative and tight away from home. It was a message to the cult. Win on Saturday and add a bit more pressure on Sunday. Love you blue boys!

Very hard first half really guilty of over elaboration, lacked an edge. But commeth the hour, commeth the ginger maestro. Kev really drove us on, terrific example to everyone. Thought it was another good team performance. As I put on mom thread, Eddie is just different levels with his passing and daring ability.

Watched this on bein, overall very good. BUT keys sad degenerate simian, you are a bitter nonce.

NdJ and even Andy Gray deserve better than having to spend time in the desert with Pete Sampras and Burt Reynolds I'll informed lovechild.

Six more finals plus hopefully three...

 

[cleavers]

I think it was my nerves to be honest ( thought I had patience down to fine art now) randomly dipped in hear to see what the mood was, not good from some so like you say best avoided.

I moderate the site, and I NEVER come on here during a game, I have no incline to be wound up these days.

 

[coolcity]

this is correct, think want you like about the Scouse rats but their crowd could really make the difference
We need to really change our match day experience and become a feared atmosphere
Until we’re 3/4 up take the fuckin roof off and treat each game like it’s a CL final no matter if it’s Liverpool or Norwich in front of us, we need to become part of the reason we are a feared fixture

Thanks, was beginning to think it's just me. I get nervous just like anybody else but sometimes you'd think we're fighting relegation.

Night game post match threads are always a bit slow.

 

[yerwot?]

the oneway traffic of the second half was built on the graft of the first. Brighton had to cover every inch to keep us out, and the pressure finally told, with a bit of help from lady luck. There were some marvelous bits of skill on show, from Eddie's pinpoint distribution and the one-touch pass-and-go all over the pitch. Very satisfying but mixed with tfft. Still in our hands, c'mon City...

 

[1978 & still here]

His name is Dias!!!!!
And while we’re at it it’s Sterling not Stirling

Sorry i had a couple of drinks before the game. But in my defence the Z is just below the S and its hard trying to type on a moving mini bus at my age :'(.

Phil Foden made his 50th Premier League start for Manchester City – aged 21 years and 327 days.

He became the youngest to start 50 games for City since Joe Hart in January 2009 (21y 287d) and the youngest to ever start 50 top-flight games under Pep Guardiola, overtaking Barcelona’s Sergio Busquets in November 2010 (22y 120d).

Should have gone on loan. Can someone send this to Neil Custis?
