Can I borrow your wig and high heels ?

My wig might be tied up in the next couple of weeks, but you’re welcome to borrow my high heels.

I thoroughly enjoyed the game tonight. Danilo, Delph, KDB and Jesus were excellent. Foden has learnt how to make it more difficult for defenders to out muscle him at this level and Diaz took his goals well (albeit the first was deflected). I just hope Kev’s injury isn’t serious.

If the crowd was 35k then so be it. That’s 35k of people who wanted to be at the game, rather than just occupying a seat. We have started a run of home games with a good win and it’s understandable that a lot of people’s finances don’t stretch to 4 home games in a row. Met more Bluemooners tonight and it was good to put faces to names. Come on City!

A good turn out , bottom two tiers virtually full ,i got a couple of freebee tickets in the South stand and it was a decent atmosphere , a great chant near the end of "why are you still here" to the away support (hope their taxi's stayed to give them a lift home:) KDB controlled the game , and was great to see Diaz get his first goals , Foden was poetry in motion.
Not sure what the crowd was but at a guess would say 35/37,000 which i think is the highest home attendance of the round (apart from West Ham in their local derby game) , just wish Manchester Council would sort the roadworks out , Mancunian Way and Regent rd is a nightmare , normally takes me 75 minutes to get to a night game , its now taking nearly two hours and getting home well past midnight , thank f*ck i dont work for a living anymore , i would have been knackered with a 7.30am start.

Agree with you on two points:
1. 35k is a perfectly good attendance
2. The traffic in Manchester is a fucking nightmare

Moving on .... Really enjoyed the game tonight, 2-0 from largely our second string was well deserved against a strong Fulham starting 11. Many plus points but I think Diaz was a small sparkling diamond amongst a solid band of gold.

If you all carry on shouting at each other we might get a City match win thread to 30 pages.

I'm a c**t because I didn't go tonight, but I've three games, from 200 miles away, in 7 days, so I hope I can be excused :-)

Oh and there were a few empty seats, I saw them on my stream, when it worked, and when it wasn't trying to give me a virus.

Chill FFS.

No you`re still a cnut.A piss poor excuse if ever I heard one.Having to do a bit of mileage ... my arse. ;)
Hope your virus isn`t contagious ?

No, I have a good firewall, I fucking hate streaming games though, you just never know what you'll catch.

It is an excellent attendance but there was over 48,000 at the emirates although I think for season card holders that match was included.

4th best of the round, but still good.

Must admit I was pleasantly surprised tonight by the performance of the team considering they've not played together too often in a match situation. Muric gives me more confidence as Eddie's understudy. Both Diaz and Foden were excellent. Just wished Brahim could have got his hat trick. Both FB's looked good. Not too long ago that game against an almost full strength Fulham side would have been our banana skin. We went in the North Stand tonight for a change. What I don't understand is why if the attendance was 20,000 less than capacity did we only get to our seats 12 minutes in. Queing outside from 20 minutes before kick off. That aside. Come on City. Lift the cup again in Feb.
