Foden was superb, that control after Zinchenkos long ball was amazing. Shame we still couldn't finish a bit better. I saw a few empty seats in small blocks in the city end. I do feel it is a shame that some City fans cant be bothered to go to Wembley, it's still a cup final and a place where we could only dream about for decades. There was also a small block of empty seats in the villa end so it wasn't just City. Wembley security is as poor as ever. Daughter had a plastic bag confiscated and when asked why as it was pretty small was told it could be used to suffocate a villa fan!!! Lol. Then at the turnstiles they were confiscating a young lads ,probably about 7 yrs old, sandwiches. Presumably so his Dad had to buy Wembley overpriced crap. Agree with most the villa fans were overall petty gobshites, aside from a nice family we met on HMS Belfast. Still a great day out.
We were 5 rows from the front near half way line. Foden was immaculate. Head and shoulders the best English midfielder. Pair him with Grealish for England.Get the fuck in.
And credit to Stones, he made a bad mistake but came back to absolutely boss the second half. Lost count of the number of clearances he made in the final 15 minutes.
The measure of a man is how he reacts to his mistakes.
I also hope people can now see Rodri’s class — he was absolutely everywhere today.
EDIT: Also, how fucking good is Foden? Did his part to win us more silverware.
not just Pep,although he,s the worst offender. i said the same about Bobby and Pellers. you play your best 11, you get the game won, THEN you make changes. its a basic football strategy . why the hell give opponents a lift. dont forget we are City, we dont have to beat just a team we have be good enough to overcome bent refs and VAR. i get they cant all play every game but come on, 8 changes for a cup is taking the piss,and what he did.took the piss out of Villa and our travelling support, they paid a fortune to watch a reserve side,a good one but a reserve one all the same.someone best have a word with @Bill who clearly has an issue with our most successful manager

by the way i'm pretty sure not many on here have ever kicked a ball in their lives.

I can totally understand why people don’t bother.
We have been loads and doing the same thing too many times of course the novelty wears off. it is human nature.
The area around Wembley is horrid.
As are the pubs.
The biggest issue for me is getting away.
I know loads who took 6 and 7 hours to get home last night. That is brutal. Especially if in work today.
Plus the knobheads in our support don’t help.
100 percent next time we get there I will be watching on tv with a glass of wine.
You would have to be borderline mad to go down there for a charity shield.
