On the stadium, I was quite near the back of the second tier, and was surprised by the good view, it wasn't as far away as I expected it to be, but the atmosphere, its awful, a lot of singers around where I was tonight, but almost every song faded and died after 1 rendition, hard to see how West Ham can recreate Upton Park in there, its just not a football stadium, I've always enjoyed the Upton Park atmosphere, especially at night games, but that will never come close for me.
Fantastic performance and doesn't do Sergio any harm being kept on his toes
Sane was MOTM for me
Beautiful football last night
The praise through gritted teeth was a joy to behold. Always a West Ham negative before a city positive tonight, from the lot of them
Agreed - he was brilliant.
It was a violent challenge and should have seen at least a yellow card but then again, Friend had decided very early on that West Ham could kick us to fuck so wasnt that surprised when it went ignored.
Did you see the challenge on Raheem?
Not even a foul apparently pmsl.
How was the 6th guy? What's his name, I forget now :p
Interestingly mate, the pre match hype from BT sport was all about how great the atmosphere was now at the ground and how they had found their home with Gold interviewed and trust me, the volume button had been well and truly put to the max whenever they sang their cute bubbles song.
Even Sky had to acknowledge that by giving all 5 a score of 9, it was just glorious to watch last night.That front five of Silva, De Bruyne, Sane, Sterling and Jesus was just unplayable tonight. West Ham let us play and didn't put pressure on the ball but I don't think anyone could have stopped us the way we played in fairness.
Sane just plays like someone has created him as a player on FIFA, it should be impossible to be that big, strong, quick and have such incredible technique.
Can someone point out to me the difference between Jesus getting booked for asking for a yellow card whilst for nearly 90 mins, West Ham players surrounded the ref at every single opportunity asking for a City player to be booked and even sent off yet nothing from the ref?
Anyone?
I made the same.point last nightCan someone point out to me the difference between Jesus getting booked for asking for a yellow card whilst for nearly 90 mins, West Ham players surrounded the ref at every single opportunity asking for a City player to be booked and even sent off yet nothing from the ref?
Anyone?
Yep. He's ridiculously good.Sane MOTM for me aswell. Kid's awesome.
I don't even think that's anti-City bias, it's just this strange belief that communicating with your hands is some cardinal sin. It's bizarre. You always hear "ohh that's disgusting, nobody likes to see that." Seriously, you'd think the player had taken a shit on someone. Asking for a yellow with words is no different to asking for a yellow with a gesture, yet one is an automatic yellow and a smear on your reputation, whilst the other is accepted. So stupid.Can someone point out to me the difference between Jesus getting booked for asking for a yellow card whilst for nearly 90 mins, West Ham players surrounded the ref at every single opportunity asking for a City player to be booked and even sent off yet nothing from the ref?
