Well I was pleasantly surprised at how easy that was. Would have liked to see Rodri replaced by Fernandinho after 65 mins to give him a rest after a busy international break. Still, beggars can't be choosers.

A 3rd goal might have done the trick, but all it needed was them nicking one and suddenly the crowd gets involved and City are hanging on with long balls being punted into the box from everywhere!

The 3rd goal in football is the killer, and often leads to a 4th! That’s why Pep’s City have scored 4 or more 80 times. And, I’d bet at least half of those have been after the 85th minute when teams have basically given up the ghost and are simply sick of chasing shadows!

If we could get a 3rd goal by the 60-70th minute, I think you’d see far more Pep substitutions.

No it was definitely Rodri in the first half. Probably would have been a red card if Rodders had not rolled over seven times, refs don't seem to like that sort of thing.

Hit his shoulder/throat but rodders held his face. Not a red for me

You didn't hear the same interview I heard.

You did see the not in my sentence?

‘50, 60, 70 million pound players…..’

Whooaaah, have we become a glamour club..?? Missed that. Coupla bottles of red this Sunday afternoon, top o't'league, and ... I''m feeling goood...

I'll match your Madeley and raise you doing security in a Carnaby Street fashion shop. Perhaps a bit later than l first thought.
Anyway another weekend security man used to go to Fleet Street and man a telephone and type a rough copy of what reporters rang in. He said once handed over the draft they amended not only his typos but also amended and added to the facts.
He like everyone worked under an assumed name and he used to say he had just done ashift with Walt Disney and Mickey Mouse.Taxman never bothered.

That's what the casual cash in hand staff were called. It was on their pay packets (staff at what is now Printworks were paid out of Victoria ticket office).

I'd be devastated if Jesus left. One of my favourite City players. Direct, fearless, hard working, always goes for goal, not afraid to take players on. I think before long Jesus will (do a Dzeko away at Spurs and) hit four in one game.

Two days late. It's April 3rd.

Doesn't matter. Comes under violent conduct.

Ha thats very good...I urge you to watch Jesus debut for City. You will understand my meaning. I feel he has been unlucky.

He's done that before, holding his face and screaming. And before that, too.

Just watched the first half on the clubs website. Weghorst is just a pony tail away from being the new Andy Carroll. Dirty bastard did Rodri with the elbow and tried to do Ake.
