Apt, given the opposition.

Haha I liked the MOTD2 Intro to our game "The Etihad Torture Chamber"

and then having to suffer Motson commentating on us from what seemed the fourth dimension.

I'm glad someone else noticed that, he clearly wasn't at the match, and the voice over seemed like it was done afterwards, and that he didn't know what was coming next. He's bad enough at the best of times now, but that commentary seemed bad even for him.

he was wandering around the tunnel pre match on tunnelcam though?

On GMR, the Pelegrini interview was conducted by Motty

Perhaps he was in one of the hospitality suites watching it on a telly

I have to agree with rose the 1st half performance was very poor lucky we weren't loosing by 1/2 time. Much better performance in the 2nd 1/2 of the match and came away as worthy winners in the end.

Anyone noticed more and more people leaving early this season? The family stand is basically empty everygame by the 80th minute mark.

Real game of two halfs, it's the best way to describe it really.
First half – half and half play wise and chance wise, but we won it 1 – 0
Second half – put them to bed really, overall won 3-0. Happy days

Looked like Swansea came with a “shoot on sight” mentality to test Pants for some reason. Test passed.
They also came to out-play us with their “swift passing game”, but our pressing for once harried a team into just looking hurried n rushed. Nice to see us take apart a team whose plan is to pass it around us, very nice. Big benefit from “Yaya & Fernandinho” and “whoever the back line is” adopting a more “whole team” mentality there in my opinion.
Funnily enough the whole team did it really. Without the ball, they all defended well, closing them down from front to back, really impressive; and when we had the ball, the team attacked and broke with purpose and pace.
Great to see Nasri taking the bull by the horns with the creative role while Silva’s out.

All in all, a very enjoyable match to watch, great win, really fluid football. Very, very happy with that performance :)

Yes as I sit there, 2 in front of us left 81:05, which is a record for where we sit. I was one of last out virtually , cant see the point in getting out early, at least 5000 must have missed the 6th goal against Spurs. With the team we have we could score 2/3 goals in last 10 mins, I just don't get it.

I thought second half we were excellent, but we need to improve, When we play Arsenal if we give them that much time and space we will get punished, Swansea played well.

Nasri was excellent, and Negredo scored a cracker.

And it looked a lot too long for him.
