Especially when you think that we also had Bernado, Mahrez, Gundogan, Stones, Jesus ready to come on.

It's a bit like that anecdote about not being able to run faster than a rampaging bear - don't have to, just need to be able to run faster than another person in the firing line.

Greens just need to be better than Labour, Reform etc. (who are even less 'green').

TBF, that may well be the best team the PL has ever seen, coached by a manager at the peak of his powers.

Perhaps only O'Reilly at left back would get in the last domestic treble winning team

Ederson; Walker, Kompany, Laporte, Zinchenko; Fernandinho, DeBruyne, Silva; Sane, Aguero, Sterling.

Possible argument for peak Rodri and some (but not me) would have Haaland ahead of Sergio.

No outstanding teams in PL. Few world-class players. The fact that this City team can potentially win a domestic treble is a reflection on the attritional nature of this PL. Team is nowhere near the level of the last City team to win a domestic treble, nowhere near it

Shite, absolutely fucking shite. Without Rodri we just ain't got what it takes to win this league. Clueless.

Un-fucking-believable

Such a fucking sad, lethargic, shit performance from City. Almost unwatchable to see them looking so clueless.

If it stays 1-0, Arsenal will he delighted.

Change it, Pep. Please just change it.

Get Nico on and get RAN off! It's like playing with 10 men.

Nobody playing above 5/10. Game has 1-1 written all over it.

This is shite

O'Reilly much less effective in midfield and RAN is giving us nothing going forward.

Nico on, O'Reilly to left back and RAN off.

That was absolute bare minimum from City in that half. Do they want this title or not? Well fucking play like you do!

We lose a huge attacking threat without OReilly at left back. I'd get Nico on at h-t and take RAN off

Only a matter of time before Burnley score. Every single time they go at our defence they create a good chance

Got to feel for Nico. He's not even an understudy for Rodri anymore.

Anthony Taylor sent Rodri off against Forest for exactly the same head push that Gabriel landed on Haaland. No VAR review, straight red, instant decision.

Banned for 3 games and City won none of them. Meanwhile Gabriel walks free.

Same referee, same foul, different decision.

Like every club, we have some right knobheads as fans. No Jesus, no centurions - his run and finish with the last kick of the game were sensational. He worked his socks off for City, never let us down.

We've had so many heroes in our run ins.

Dzeko in Pellegrini's title winning team;

Laporte playing game after game injured in one of our run ins;

Gundogan peaking in the last 5/6 games;

Foden playing his best ever football to get us over the line.

This year? Haaland, you can feel it.

Fewer goals from Erling this season but we're top scorers. It's no coincidence - the other players are seeing what Haaland does and taking advantage.

At times it almost - almost - looks like he enjoys seeing others score more than scoring himself

If Britain gets closer to Europe, there will be only one outcome: taxes for the rich.

One of my biggest worries about Haaland was: can he win us the biggest, tightest games? Aguero did. Sure Haaland scores big in big wins but how many 1-0s has he won us? Yet to score in a final. Passed up a penalty.

Today he did it. Today he showed he can against a superb defence. It's a gamechanger

Cost us at WHU as well. But brilliant save at the death against Liverpool that arguably set us on the path to today.

I agree that we'll regret letting Trafford go. So infuriating.

Having a largely football free day today. Dog walk, run, coffee and cake at Waterstones while I read the first chapter of a book and then cinema at 4.00 - will find out score when film is over.

Vetting is about finding out thngs they DIDN'T know before. They knew about Mandelson and Johnson - PMs just take the politically expedient approach and then lie through their teeth if the shit hits the fan.

All MPs are in the pay of someone (gambling, health, oil, big tech etc.).

TBH, I'm pissed off with City. I was hugely confident we would not be involved in a title race at this time and I'd be able to enjoy a stress-free end to the season.

But here they are again.

Tomorrow means either;
- Arsenal collapse further; or
- my stress disappears.

If it hadnt been for those pesky Epstein files, he'd have got away with it.

But, but, but Starmer knew that Mandelson underwent a security check (it's mandatory) so he didn't bother to ask what it had turned up or whether the toady, little scrote had passed.

In other words, he didn't care what the outcome of the vetting was, he was going to give the job to him regardless
