Hands up who knew once we won the title some city fans would still pick holes out of the next 3 games and moan

I remember when Roy Paul use to go to the pub for a couple of pints of Guinness before the match

Brighton are the best side we've played in the league this season by a country mile.

What a great team and manager to play against. If you enjoy city's style then you have to appreciate how Brighton play, a just result in the end

I enjoy watching Brighton and DeZerbi has done a very impressive job. That said we are 27 points clear of B&HA...its all relative I suppose.

Good post, good poster. It cuts both ways, just on my way back now and I have to say the Amex was the friendliest most polite away ground I have visited - the pleasantness of the stewards and your fans made it feel more like a trip to the theatre than a football match. Nice touch in the toilets (no not like that), the little placards saying “than you Man City fans for travelling 520 miles round trip to the Amex today”. The best 2 footballing sides in the division

They put those placards up for teams, except the ones for the rags which reads thanks travelling grom around the corner

I predicted it on the pre-match thread and they didn't let me down.

I suspect that we've had a few players whose fitness has been borderline for a few weeks. Winning the league early may have given Pep an excuse to rest some of them.

I'd have to say Newcastle, for one, would rightfully object to that...

think it showed how important rodri is to us, their midfield just ran through and beyond ours, its a shame brighton will have to sell their best players and basically start again.
as for the match,its a hard watch at the moment,of course i want us to win, but im more concerned with injuries, if it was up to me,we would play an eds team v brentford.

stephan made me nervous last night,looked very unsure with the ball at his feet, didn't help that brighton basically go man for man, apart from that thought he had a very good game.

all in all not a bad result against a very good team playing their last home game of the season, hoping phil and john are fit and it was a niggle and taken off as a precaution

I thought that about Ortega he leaves it very late when passing the ball, I kept expecting him to get caught
