Anyone got a link to the match or extended highlights please?
Heard it said round about me 30secs after coming on Mendy has lost a yard of pace 2min later after a cross hit the first man,someone voiced the opinion that it looks like we have Navas back,some folk are getting a wee bit entitled YCNMIU.Fantastic atmosphere.
Fantastic performance.
Fantastic goals.
Fantastic result.
Fantastic day (no, I’m not Carlton!)
What a brilliant fucking time to be a Blue. It has been a wonderful season and after the events of last weekend, I was really looking forward to this game. I wasn’t disappointed . The whole day was magnificent, it was the first time that I, and almost certainly everyone else at Etihad today, had the chance to celebrate a title win at the stadium during the same season as we’d won it.
I thought Pep got his substitutions spot on today; it was great to be able to celebrate Yaya's City career for what seemed like the last time. Phil deserves his chance to prove to Pep that he is good enough for the manager's long-term plans and it was great to see Mendy continuing his rehabilitation, though he did look very rusty in some of what he did. That’s not to say that he was great in some situations as well.
Several contenders for MotM today; KdB, Merlin, Fab, Raheem, but I went for Silky Ilkay. He was magnificent throughout.

Post of the thread.Another wonderful performance and no matter how our opponents set up you’ve still got to put it in the onion bag!
That we did and it’s down to a complete team performance.
Many great contributions today but, for me, the absolute brilliance of David Silva is the key to our success!
From up in SS3 my pal said to me today “how long can he go on doing this?”
I told him to just watch Silva for 5 minutes or so, don’t watch the ball!, just watch what Silva does.
He walks, stops, stands still, he watches and ghosts into space, he encourages a pass while seeing the scenario and knowing the probable outcome!
He doesn’t charge around and run into blind alleys!
He’s an initiator! He’s the conduit that enables!
His game rarely relies on pace!
He’s Mark Selby thinking 6 shots ahead! It’s like playing poker when you know he’s ‘got you’ and you’ve gone all in!
My mate says “yeah, doesn’t do that much does he” ......yeah, right!!!!
If David makes the decision to call it a day with us when his contracts up to spend more time with his young family then we will have been privileged to have seen, imho, the greatest footballer to ever wear the Sky Blue shirt and who could blame him?
He is capable of playing at this level for many more years and I beleive he is the key to our success and I bow down and worship the skills of ‘El Mago’, Merlin, our David Silva!
...... rest of ‘em weren’t bad today either :-)
