Fantastic performance that. Thought Sterling and in particular Fernando were bloody brilliant.

The media should be all over this in a positive light.fantastic night for Manchester..England and planet earth.

All I heard from BT and Talkshite was slagging City for disrespecting the FA cup.

Just got back to my hotel near Boryspil airport, flight back leaves in five-and-a-half hours!

And as a first away day in Europe, I'd like to say: GET THE FUCK IN!!!!!!!

Bloody loved it! Good show by the 500 who made it over here, and a great performance by the team on the whole (ok, not perfect, but surely should see us through).

This could get quite addictive!!

One non-football thought: the Kiev fans we spoke to were great, even going as far as sharing a fan's Ukrainian whisky in the weird queue/mob/scrum to get in. Yet the Ukrainian police (and seemingly the Army too) felt it right to keep us back 30 minutes, which only served to wind up every City fan; a calm and happy atmosphere slowly degenerating to a rather more frustrated and aggressive situation. And when we got out, there was literally no-one about except half a dozen scarf sellers!

Dixon and Keane being "harsh" now
No praise whatsoever - Kiev appalling

Yep Dixon the Arsenal licker said the game was that easy that we didn't need to rest players on Sunday and him and Keane could of played tonight it was that easy!

Trevor touched upon this and said he totally agreed with MP.

Kiev were terrible other than a ten minute spell in the second half. Let's not get carried away, we pretty much got the easiest draw possible and they hadn't played a proper game for three months.

But we were as good as they were terrible. We got the tactics right, the formation right, the team selection right, we defended well, we kept the ball when we needed to well, we created chances and scored some lovely goals.

A fair synopsis rather than the piss take that passes fort punditry on ITV

We made them look like that we stop what we doing in second half and guess what they looked better and they scored! At our best we make 99% of teams look poor

ITV, BBC, SKY, BT, Daily Mirror, Sun, Daily Mail, Telegraph, and anyone else worth a mention. Is there anyone wishing to praise our club/owner/academy/ / / / Orrr are they just being sneaky and not wanting to admit that they are shit scared on what the future holds for Manchester City?

One of the best performances of the season. Total control, could have scores ten. Everyone was excellent.

What's there to moan about? Other than moaning for moanings sake.

I'm being a bit of smartarse - you are moaning that we didn't score ten.
