God that was so good.
proper game of football. They came at us but just bounced off. Thought it was a top class performance with Stones, Dias, Fern and Gundo giving us a proper spine to win the game.

Going to be unpopular but thought OGS was honest and gracious in defeat. No Klopp shit.

He doesn't want to get into any kind of intense title rivalry where we are pitted against each other 1v1 like we were with Liverpool in 2018/19

I thought when he said we were the best side in the country it was a very clear attempt to try and preemptively remove pressure from his side when they likely go top of the table on Tuesday, and he's doing it because he thinks they will crumble under pressure.

That back 4 is one player away from something unbelievable.

Please play Fernandinho every game. Let’s just let him do a Kompany into the sunset this year. He was immense.

Gundogan, what a player he has become.

Phil is a gift to us all.

love this team

Yeh but other than that we`re only an average team ... apparently. HAAAAA

If I am being honest, the man of the match for me was Yamojo.



It was his return that made all the difference :)

Stones & Dias.

Am I in Amsterdam because I could watch a peep show with those two all day.

OK maybe a bit too far. But it's a fucking great partnership.

Which is when Stones and Dias took control in the 2nd half.

United had the same problem Chelsea had. They actually got forward a few times and whenever they got into a decent position their attacks were just snuffed out. They never broke through, they never created a gilt-edged chance, they never got anywhere outside of the odd corner. Dias in particular these past two fixtures specifically has really been a difference maker.

It just sapped away at their confidence.


We had this in 18/19 when Laporte and Kompany were paired too for most of that 14 game win streak where we barely conceded. It's a telling sight.

The real exciting part is that this is only the beginning. Dias is still probably unpacking his suitcase!

Zinchenko guilty of trying to give our Fernan a love bite

First time he`s ever got his teeth into something. Hahahahah ;)

Wembley Wembley we’re the famous Man City and we’re going to Wembley

Talksh*te rags really in pain. To a man, they are all peddling the line - the best team over the 90mins/on the night won.

That type of limiting qualifier noticeably added to every one of their concessions as they just can't bring themselves to admit we are just the better team full stop.

Lovely...
