Phew! They don’t half put us through the wringer. It was great to come back and win on penalties to stuff it up those red bastards, especially when Twatterface and McCoist were counting their chickens.

A fully deserved victory, despite the rags having more first choice players on the field than we did.

Oscar was my MotM, but Rico, Mateo, Nico and James all played very well. Also, Savinho looked very good, when he came on. A big "well done" to Manu Akanji, who had the balls to step up - in more ways than one - and take a penalty, after his miss in the Euros.

There were plenty of comedy moments provided by that so-called footballer, Rashford, whose misses lit up the game.

I loved the way Pep referred to the rags as "our rivals," rather than using their name. Chapeau, Señor Guardiola!

You’d think the rags won the game, the amount of time ITV is spending talking about them. It’s absolutely nauseating.

It was a great way to start the season, and with our lads coming back from their break, we will be stronger in every department.

Onwards and upwards, City.

The game itself was a slow-tempo kick-about until Silva came on and he was not having any of it.
How sweet was it to burst ITV bubble when we won, They were set ready to go full on United are title challengers for the rest of the show,

That’s nothing.

Phil Jones’, from the shootout against Sunderland, is still in orbit.

It's up there circling with the best forgotten attempt by Mahrez.

I thought I had somehow accidentally tuned in to Rag TV, but no, it was ITV1.

Next time have the GPC on commentary; he would be less biased.

The one at Klanfield?

Hmm, the text messages have stopped...

Was getting one every 5 minutes during the match.

So happy for Mike Summerbee, I bet he fully loved his day handing over the shield to the City players.
