absolute garbage today but credit where it’s due, I thought Brighton were excellent.

Can't agree with your 'absolute garbage' comment. We were not at our best today but still got an important three points.
Can't be the best team in the world every week.

Good

I agree. It is good. It just makes debates where we should get things because the Egyptian diver did a while back a bit moot.

 

[Elbow beards]

Don't care, he's soo fucking cool.

It was an absolute nightmare getting to the match today.

Because of my work commitments, we didn’t leave home until gone 2:00, and then on the M62, we were crawling along for miles because of an accident. The lift at our usual entrance, W, was out of action, and the spiral right next to it was lock, so we had to walk around to Entrance S. And, as if that wasn’t enough, when we finally arrived at our seats, there was a bloke and his lad sat in them. Now, I can understand someone ending up in the wrong seats, but to mistake Row E for Row BB? That takes some doing.

As to the game, we arrived just in time to see the ref. walk over to the VAR screen and subsequently award the penalty, which Erling dispatched brilliantly.

People were saying that we were off our game, but credit to Brighton, they played very well, and didn’t allow us to settle into our usual pattern of play. I’m sure it won’t be long before they notch up their first win under de Zerbi.

In the end, it was a good win, highlighted by a true thunderbastard by the "Pale Pele".

Onwards and upwards, City.

Credit to Brighton, came to give us a game. Decent team

Best team to come to the Etihad this season so far. Credit to them. CTID

Thought the way they marked up and pressed we perhaps could of put more through for Haaland to chase onto like he did for his wonderful goal.

Could have.

As my English teacher pointed out to our class nearly 50 years ago, there is no such verb as, "to of".

Nobody seems to have noticed KDB’s goal was a deflection.

Because it wasn't.

 

[johnnytapia]

They were brilliant in fairness

Course they were. I’ve yet to see a team have 3 put past them and be so brilliant

Hope we win every match 3-1 to the end of the season with these below par performances. That should clinch us the title I think.
