Great performance.
Poor commentating from the Arsenal die hard fan and a guy who doesn’t know the difference between Grealish/Debruyne which upset my viewing

All game !! 5 times he said Kev and it was Jack !!!??

Mesron must be on the marching powder saying he thinks the game that could trip us up is Fulham and not spuds

It was a slog last season. 2-1 win.

12:30pm game too. Not ideal, but we can beat anyone, anywhere.

 

[pride in battle]

The Boys in Blue didn't give in, they fought to the end. Thank you City, thank you lads, thank you fans. You showed 'em, you showed 'em all.

I'm sorry I can't do the usual after match thanks and telling off for the other team, the media and the officials.

The reason I was late with my Match Day thread posting was because just after I posted the pre-match one I had a phone call to tell me that a friend of mine, who I've known for over 75 years and was like an extra brother, had died. He was part of our family, as I say an extra brother. Came to all our parties, weddings, birthdays, funerals, everything and as it is the second death of someone close to me in the last four days, my cousin who was 1 year younger than me died on Thursday, it has knocked me for six.

Sorry. I am of course absolutely pleased about City winning today but I am also gutted and am now going to sit down and get out the photos and memories of our times together.

THE BEST TEAM IN THE LAND AND ALL THE WORLD.

My sympathy Sheila, think of the memories you shared and find comfort in that. R.I.P

Again cleansheet means we have a foundation to build on.
Ake,Akanji and Gvardiol must start.
Kevs back in his groove and will assist our big number 9. CTID

 

[Franny 1234]

Great win

Defences win titles and ours has taken some really unwarranted stick this year from kneejerk reaction dafties. 3 tough games in a week, 3 clean sheets. Brilliant stuff.

I agree but the stick this season as been due to being unable to keep cleansheets especially in the league. Definitely not knee jerk. The way Ake plays he deserves a cleansheet every week.

 

[Vienna_70]

Three clean sheets in a row.

What the fuck is going on?

 

[chaddblue]

If we were still in the Champions league I reckon we wouldn't win either, maybe potless, in hindsight its done us a favour getting knocked out as no way we could have coped with more games.

Absolutely. Said exactly the same coming home. We’ve currently not got the energy to fight on all three fronts

 

[steviemc]

We are making these games look like any other game. Which isn't always pretty, but we won. Arsenal will be deflated. Again.

I think it was quite telling that Arsenal celebrated as if they'd just climbed a mountain and won something already. There are still some games to go, however the professionalism with how we treat these last few games of the season
gives a good indicator as to why we've deservedly won the last three PL titles.

Much of it is kneejerk imo.

38 games in a season, there’s bound to be ups and downs. We let in 7 in two mad games against Chelsea and Spurs at a time of the season when we often hit a slump and yet in spite of that we’ve only conceded 4 more than Arsenal’s much vaunted defence. All I’m saying is people need to be aware of the bigger picture and not throw proven top class defenders under the bus for temporary losses of form.

 

[Burtonblue]

Unfortunately looks like Ederson is out for the rest of the season.
That dirty **** Boli was allowed to get away with thuggery of the highest nature without even a yellow.
I actually rate Ortega at least as much as Ederson so let’s hope nothing happens to him over the coming games….

 

[eyalluvitt]

Mesron must be on the marching powder saying he thinks the game that could trip us up is Fulham and not spuds

Imagine we drop points and our separated brethren come to our rescue

 

[TheThirdDeano]

Fantastic win!
Shame about Ederson but at least Ortega is a great keeper in his own right.
Just 4 more. Easy!

 

[jonah62]

Need 4 wins now.
GD is not worth considering as Arsenal will be hitting cricket scores at the swamp.
Hopefully Spuds won't want the Arse winning the league when we rock up there

Best case scenario is Spuds lose at Chelsea on Thurs, Villa win at Brighton on Sat, then Spuds lose at Anfield mon night
Cannot then catch Villa

 

[jonah62]

How come the midweek game against spuds is Tuesday and not Wednesday, they're really taking the piss now

Spuds play Sat as well, so no advantage to anyone ( well we have 60 minutes more rest as we kick off 12:30 on the Sat)

 

[Nellies left peg]

Gvardiol has had a really good first season. Will be immense for us in time.

He has proven potential and now he has settled in he looks a real gem, and will only get better. Looks like he is a real team player too

Why on earth was he not taken off immediately?

 

[remember arthur mann]

Brazil 1970 , were'nt bad :)

Looking back, I think they looked a bit like City.

 

[ThreesKompany]

Special mention to Ortega. Every time he is asked to do a job he does it with class.

Must be hard not getting picked. His ability to step up when Eddie is out can’t be underestimated.

Happily have him start the remaining games.

Ederson has left three road games this season - Newcastle, Liverpool and Forest. Seven points in those.

So sorry for your loss mate. Condolences to you and all their friends and family.
