Some great Northern Soul tunes at HT though, so not all bad.

I dont think delph gives a shit. He will be back and doing his amazing job as left back soon enough.

Just gives us more time to rest players and focus on champions league..cups trophy’s meh to me anywhere. As long as we win the league I’ll be happy.

Let’s be honest Wigan didn’t play well. You can’t play well with 18% possession against 10 men. We got sucker punched from a bizarre mistake. I don’t wish the fuckers well and it’s not a fairy story for the cup. Taylor is a cheat and that was never more evident than when he swapped the yellow for red. I hope we learn from tonight and it makes us angry and ruthless.

I'll take the title.
I'll take a double.
I'll even take a treble.

The season is far from over.

The quadruple was always going to be a long shot.

Win on Sunday and we'll forget about tonight.

And as others have stated, we can now rest the players.

And we don't have to fork out for another 2 possible Wembley trips.

What concerns me more than anything is how ordinary we look when KDB doesn't start. I don't think we've won a single match in regulation when he hasn't started - and most of those matches were against crap teams. And we haven't looked good in any of them.

Trash ref and Danilo trash.

If the guy is as bent as you claim he is then you are a complete and utter tit of a player if you go launching into a tackle like that and invite him to make another poor decision....which is exactly what Delph did. Sadly for us all.

Two players running towards each other for the ball. What's Delph supposed to do ? Nothing like the scything assaults from the side we've been taking. So, in 2018 you can take a City players legs away from the side on numerous occasions with impunity, but a City player isn't allowed to run towards the ball when it's there to be won ? Had Delph backed out of the challenge he would have been roundly criticised.

@Ric and team.
Leroy Sane performance thread is still locked chaps.

No chance. Pep agreed it was a red in his interview.

I’m not convinced Pep thought it should be a red but he appeared to accept it could be and was a unnecessary tackle.

I would expect City to review it carefully and I think they should appeal.
