he tries his bollocks off every match, his movement is world class , his finishing is erratic sometimes, but he scores a decent amount as well , id be more than happy if he was to extend .

Totally agree.

One of our fans had a tooth knocked out by a (glass?) bottle in 115. Whilst he was being treated, a young boy who was watching his first game came in with his head split open from a coin.

You have to be a proper, proper **** to throw objects into a crowd of people. That goes for City and Sporting fans.

Sporting are scummy rats, hate the fcukers.

I think I'm in a minority but I didn't mind the game last night, but that's probably because I needed a City fix with zero drama, to take my mind off the world, so the game couldn't have been more perfect in that respect

Anyway I though Egan Riley was ok, he did quite nicely but did nothing excellently (aside from some cheeky skill in the corner towards the end). But I was impressed by his maturity. A few players weren't really arsed and I expect this is due to the fact no-one wants an injury or a yellow. Fernandinho and Stones clear stand outs. I'm still not convinced by McAtee, looks to have tonnes of talent but is not quite sure how to use it. It'll click, he'll be a good midfielder when it does.

Otherwise thought we got stiffed on a couple of penalty calls but not going to let it bother me, to the quarters blues.

I watched the recording from BT this afternoon and I didn’t fall asleep!
When you are at the game you don’t always realise some of our amazing moves. The long balls from people like John Boy (yes I’m biased) and Eric Laporte among others were in the main so accurate. I saw them obviously but seeing them again on TV wow.
Plus the mentoring from the ‘Senior’ players for the youngsters. I’d seen John Boy with CJ but hadn’t noticed Zinchenko and Ferni with McAtee.
I did enjoy it, still shouting that the ref needed retraining but we got there.
It was strange in the build up seeing Pep with hair! :-)
Also lovely to have Joleon and Owen Hargreaves praising us to the skies. Brilliant to hear ‘can’t see anyone wanting to face City’ …
Well done City. :-)

Agree there was enough going on to make it an interesting game for a City fan. The ones who thought it was boring simply have little passion for the wider picture. Their choice. Their opinion.
I enjoyed it. Not a repeat of the derby but plenty that got my attention and appreciation. Boring? No way.

Why does Pearce get a bad rap for pragmatic 0-0s at home keeping us up?
