This league has always had one absolute fundamental rule for teams to survive.

That is scoring goals. Have a look at it's history. If you fail to do that you will either be relagated or something very close to it.

Burnley are an exception to the rule this season. I can't get my head around how a team who have scored 19 goals are in fucking 7th.

Believe me, they will not repeat this next season. All these 1 nils will become draws or defeats.

It's a freak occurrence just like Leicester and their PL win.

And last season? Maybe they will evolve as a football club. You've written him off without explaining why.

We scored 47 goals in 05/6.

29 in 06/7. Came very fucking close to relegation.

I've decided that your fucking daft.

We missed the first 18 minutes because I had to work, but it was worth making the effort to come.

As soon as Stones miskicked that ball, you could see what was coming. Fair play to the lad, though; he didn’t allow the mistake affect him and he was his usual calm and composed self thereafter.

A brilliant bit of quick thinking for the first and some fantastic close control and skill for the second. The other two were typical City counter-attacking brilliance, and it was great to see Sané, whose second half was as brilliant as his first half was poor, involved in both goals. I’m very pleased for him that he’s back on the scoresheet and it won’t have done Bernie's confidence any harm to have bagged the fourth.

I was a bit mystified as to why Pep felt the need to bring on Kyle and KdB at 3-1, when we were in total control, especially when both - certainly Kevin -probably needed a rest more than any other players in the squad. I thought Zinchenko did very well. Yes, he made a few mistakes, but that’s to be expected from a young lad. Maybe he and/or Ilkay got a knock.

All-in-all, a great afternoon and a very enjoyable way to make the fourth round.

I would have liked to see Diaz, but it was a really good Cup tie. Loads of young kids too seeing City for the first time.

Ha, funny how people see the same game differently. I thought Gundogan was very good today!

Held the ball well, often with his back to goal under hard pressing. I felt it enabled us to keep control of the game at certain points and even help switch a gear up. The back heel was perfect.

I think its absolutely refreshing to see a club with their budget go toe to toe with the elite sides in the league and instead of bending over and getting bummed.

Have I not made myself clear, or do I need to re post my last 10 messages.

I've written him off because he's anti football and I think he's shite.
