Just waiting for Harris to be outed as the QAnon leader, fucking weirdo.

The foreign press are a much better read today. Views not tinted by believing if you were good in the 90s then you should rule football forever.

Ha ha! Why is this reptile allowed in our ground though?

For beautiful moments like that.....would you really want to miss out on seeing that look on his mug?

The fucktards world is caving in......enjoy!

BT commentary was good last night I though, Fletch seemed genuinely excited when we got the first.

Did Drury commentate on it anywhere? I imagine that would be a good listen.

You can hear Lescott shouting and screaming in the background for each goal too

I thought it was good too, still got Ferdinand and Carragher sneakily readying the next narrative of having to dominate Europe/winning it a few times to be considered great or suchlike but fuck em, like the rags ever did and dippers only because the competition was piss poor back then.

The quote from the article; "So you don’t just sign Erling Haaland, you sign Julián Álvarez to give him a rest. Kalvin Phillips arrives for £45m, doesn’t play all season, and it’s fine."

Absolutely ridiculous that buying Alvarez for £14m is somehow a sign that City have a bottomless pit of money, when we've sold three forwards for £150m+ in the same year.

And yet there is never a mention on Nunez or Sancho keeping the bench warm every week and who both cost far more.
Even the 51 million spent on Haaland came from the 55 million received in Jan for Torres

Last night we brought Foden and Akverez on, who cost us a combined 14 million and yet it shows our strength of depth in the squad according to the media. Sorry but any PL team can spend 14 million at a whim, added to the absolute bargain of Akanji, it’s not squad depth, it’s being exceptionally good in the transfer market

The difference in reaction between the Guardian and Telegraph is incredible.

Dissecting arguably the greatest 45 minutes by an English side in Europe

City's first half at the Etihad Stadium was surely among the finest produced by any side Pep Guardiola has managed

Manchester City vs Real Madrid result: Man City reach footballing perfection to stay on course for Treble

By Jason Burt, Chief Football Correspondent at the Etihad Stadium

www.telegraph.co.uk

This is football on another plane. This is football from another planet especially in a first-half when no team in the world could have lived with them. Real were taken apart, ceding 72 per cent possession and having just 10 touches in City’s final third, and even with their legendary powers of recovery they knew the game was up. It was breathtaking stuff and Real had the air knocked out of them.This was as good as it gets. ​

Pep Guardiola’s side have the perfection of a finely executed military campaign, the perfection of wealth and strength

And so one of the world’s richest states spends years trying to hire the world’s greatest coach, succeeds, and then gives him literally everything he needs. Every other club in the world, with the exception of Paris Saint-Germain, has to operate within the constraints of finance or fortune. Every other club in the world has flaws or problem areas that they can’t address right now, but hope to at some point in the future. Guardiola, by contrast, gets the staff he wants, the players he wants when he wants them, gets their replacements ahead of schedule.​

"For 15 years, Manchester City have had one ambition above all others. Since Sheikh Mansour acquired the club, the Champions League has been their goal."​

Not only the good value players , the non dickhead players

We must scrutinise a player so much before buying (cancelo apart)

I'd love to know how much this team cost to put together compared say with Utd.
