Shock of the season incoming, guys: Saints, playing with a care in the world, but right up for it, give City the title!
Ok, being facetious, but it's not parallel universe stuff. Dippers to me have been looking rocky for weeks. Scraping through. They're finding this end of season and the quadruple expectation heavy on their shoulders. What was the difference between them winning and losing it yesterday? Nothing, really nothing. But I know one thing: the psychological and physical effect of that match, with extra time on the Wembley turf and penalties going right to the death, will be weighing on them.
Not expecting it, of course. But I wouldn't be that surprised.

More likely Liverpool pull back most of the goal difference back

Yeah, I was just offering perspective. Regardless, it means fuck all if we win on Sunday.

Love how blues are setting on other blues for looking on the bright side. Some of you live to be miserable twats.

Goal diff does not matter anymore

It does or could...

Villa have to play on Thursday so it will be interesting to see what side they put out.

I’ll settle for 92:30, mate. :-O

The big positive for me is how we came back to keep the title race firmly in our control. I thought Grealish was excellent as well. Easily his best game in a City shirt.

The negatives were Eddie and Zinchenko who were dreadful from start to finish. I thought no one in the back 5 played well but those two were the worst.

Incredibly frustrating how Liverpool are still in this title race. They’re obviously a great side but we’ve had at least 3/4 opportunities to kill them off and failed to take them. As the Madrid game showed, anything can happen in football when you fail to take your chances.

At the start of the season I think we all would have taken a final home game against Villa to win the league. That said, Villa fans and the Gerrard/Coutinho - Liverpool connection will mean they are bang up for it. In Watkins and Coutinho they also have players who can hurt us.

I’d still make us odds on favourites though

If Liverpool lose on Tuesday we're champions without kicking a ball.

They’re playing Southampton.

Antonio was an absolute disgrace today, constantly diving, throwing dissent at the officials and escaped a booking for it all. Not seen him like that before

He deserved a booking for his antics for sure. But from our point of view he gave it his absolute all, chased down everything and at times caused havoc. That’s all you can ask from a lone striker against one of the best teams in the world - If only he could f*ckin finish!

We have got some really wank pathetic fans on here

Dippers mate.
