Who knows what tomorrow brings
In a world few hearts survive
All I know is the way I feel
When it's real, I keep it alive

The road is long
There are mountains in our way
But we climb a step every day

City lift us up where we belong
Where the eagles cry
On a mountain high
City lift us up where we belong
Far from the world below
Up where the clear winds blow

Sorry nicked from Officer and a Gentleman but I thought it appropriate for us right now

One-nil One-nil we're the famous West Brom Albion & we only lost the second half one nil ...One -Nil

I don't get all this playing out from the back nonsense is a famous quote from a big fat football dinosaur. Look and learn you fat bastard and you should never get another job in football management. Will obviously resign before season ends to preserve his never been relegated record that sky and talkshite always bring up

A performance that was a fitting tribute to King Colin on the day of his funeral. Well done City and well done our number 8, Gundog.

Dippers arriving at work this morning were quiet although one who can be a bit of a knob was happy to chat and was full of praise but admitted he turned over at 3:0.
As he is normally a cock I got the feeling we were better than impressive and he has given up already.
Looking forward to watching later when I get up, and reading this thread it looks as if we played like kids in the school yard - no positions just us against them.

Strange time to get a parcel delivered.

Probably to the wrong address mate

Fantastic team performance.

Yes, and it wasn't lost on the family, either (see the tweet below from Colin's son). I found it pleasing that at Old Trafford on the day after Colin died and then yesterday on the date of his funeral, we put in a couple of excellent displays that the man himself would have absolutely loved.

 

[Scaring Europe to Death]

I’m struggling to remember the last City signing, (probably Aguero) to make such an immediate impact as Dias, but it's equally amazing how the previously anonymous Rodri, Cancelo and Gundogen, have all suddenly become so influential. It feels so fresh, and once more I find myself wondering if Guardiola was deliberately holding something back last Autumn when the team looked slow and pedestrian. Perhaps we went down a scientific route of fitness, but Gundogen in particular, suddenly looks a yard quicker.

My only concern (not so much last night, but moving forward) is Zinchenko’s lack of mobility when the opposition have the ball.

The 2nd goal was an absolute farce, but I’d love to the see a replay of the Aguero goal at Old Trafford last season, which was eventually disallowed, despite the lineman flagging too soon, and Aguero looking onside.

Great post. BM was screaming out to sign Koulibaly at great cost. Thank god we didn’t. Diaz will become the best defender in the world. The way the team have gelled back together since his arrival is unbelievable imo. One of the best signings we’ve made since the takeover without a doubt.
