[Tolmie scores]

BBC get their attendance figures (and all other data) from Opta. If the data doesn’t arrive before the show, the attendance isn’t shown. It’s not unique to matches at the Etihad and does occasionally happen for other games. City do seem persistently slow at releasing crowd figures. Not sure why?

interesting - why? certainly never helps dispel our emptyhad tag - which i can't believe as a fan base we haven't riled against

They have to run it past the ghost of Peter Swales.

What happened to the days when they’d read the crowd out midway through the second half and everyone would clap themselves for bothering to turn up?

I went to some games in the 80's where they thanked everyone personally.

The BBC's live text coverage is pretty hilarious. All of the shared texts and tweets are pro Vini Jr and anti Rodri. Bit odd!

Oh the bitterness in the Telegraph is brilliant. The headline is Real Madrid snub Balon Dor after Rodri crowned winner.
The photograph to accompany it ?

Harry Kane.

Oh and it's about the 6th article down cos of the lickle raggies needing a new manager.

I would like to know who the British journalists voted for

Sky Backpages introductory remark by presenter "Ballon War - that about sums it up" over to you Miguel....

Real Madrid’s boycott was selfish – Rodri deserved to win the Ballon d’Or

The Manchester City man picked up the award while Real Madrid were a no-show at the ceremony

They could have done that against Mansfield in December 98….in about 2 minutes!
