How did the atmosphere seem in the ground? Came across superb.

Started it off okay, then they scored it wen shit and stayed that way until we were gettin back into it toward the latter of the half.

Second half though diferent story it was mint, well it was on the lvl three of the east stand anyway.

Superb performance
3-1 flattered them
After a few recent iffy moments I think John Stones tonight proved what a player he is. Against that forward line he was immense. What a player this lad is going to be for us

Yep, what is he 21 years old? imagine what he will be like at 26 / 27.

And I had a wait a long time to first see us beat them and remember full well when it was our most important game of the season, unless we were in a relegation scrap.

We weren't relevant to them at that point and they're not relevant to us now.

well the Rags always say the dippers are their big rivals , our big rivals are now Barca,Bayern and Real says it all really

I got to ground at 7.30, absolutely massive queues. Thought I'd miss the start, and then got to my turnstile and walked straight in.

Noticed there were quite a few empty seats in the Barca end. very strange game. Our equaliser turned it around. At 0-1 we looked nowhere near them. 2nd half we were amazing and could have had more.

I sit in front row and I was really struck by how lazy messi was. I am sure he was never like that before. he literally walks while the rest of his team runs.

Incredibly nervous 2nd half even at 3-1.

As I walked home I was reminded of walking out of maine rd many years ago after yet another defeat. past the Sherwood and that mad dog. Hope was beginning to fade. Within a few years though that loyalty was to begin to be rewarded. Thank you to all the City fans whose friendship and loyalty kept me blue and helped me to witness QPR and nights like these.

I hope the new fans really appreciate the good times.

Ive got a lump in my throat.

If it was good in the east stand it must of been great. Glad it was fantastic.

SSN literally just said "City had only 35% possession, the lowest possession stat in Pep Guardiola's managerial career." Wow, they really are wankers.

Careful mate. I was told to not get ahead of myself on here last week for saying that.

Tossers aren't they.

Well...I'm a right fecking panicky knobhead after the last 2 weeks aren't I ?

I feel ashamed for ever allowing a doubt to enter my mind about the manager and the effect he can have on players.

That was simply the best performance I can remember seeing from City in my lifetime. Especially given the opposition. Also in a game we couldn't afford to lose. Going 1 down and coming back with belief in each other and in the managers instructions.

Quote my posts, call me a dick, you'd be right, and after tonight I couldn't care less.

Th first time I've seen City go toe to toe with a European giant and they fucking battered them. Rest assured not one team in europe will want to get us in the knockouts.

Mods.. if you see me signed in on here within 24 hours of a loss or a draw just save me from myself and ban me for 24 hours. It will save me making myself look like a c**t.

Very honest of you Blue. The criticism (not yours) was something I couldn't understand personally as I thought we've been brilliant all season but just needed to eradicate the errors. Credit for having the balls to man up. We are a force under Pep and it's only beginning ))
