Eddie Large...the Gallagher twats...
Bernard Manning...

About 600 million students at my university...young people here love Man City. ******

Ricky Hatton...and the spoilt, glory hunting little pricks who attend the school I work at!

😂

When those ****** cheated their way to the Champions League last season, a few students turned up on the Monday in their Man City shirts.

I put on a really serious face and tone, and politely explained that they wouldn't be allowed into the classroom wearing that kind of garment.

Beyond petty, but there we go.

Amazing performance and the best I have seen in many years, especially given the opponents.

If it had been 3 or 4 it wouldn't have flattered us.

I thought everyone played exceptionally well, but Konsa and McGinn were brilliant and I didn't think Bailey had it in him to play so well all game.

What a fucking team we have become, in just a year and a bit, amazing stuff.

Zaniolo has a higher ceiling, based on previous.

Just back. Reminds me of 1980-81. That's all.

I would agree... and it's taken until the start of this season for Bailey to come good under Unai, so not prepared to cut the loan short in Jan like some are calling for!

Can hardly believe what we've just all seen! Best I can remember - and I'm 67! I honestly didn't think we would be able to keep going like that all match. Incredible! UTV

Any confidence I had completely collapsed around 4pm, no idea why but at almost every turn this Manager makes a fool out of me. I didn't fancy Konsa at RB even without their winger but Ezri was peerless. These are extraordinary times driven by an extraordinary manager.
I predicted 1-0 but imagined that it might be backs to the wall but Unai said bollocks to that.

And as Saturday approaches, any thoughts of a shit cart after the Lord Mayor's Show will be firmly dismissed. This is different, very different.

In Australia and was woken up by Jane at 06:30 yelling that we had beat them, and beat them well. Great alarm call!

Some ghosts laid to rest with this result.

Magnificent performance. Leon Bailey was outstanding! Now for the Gunners.....I predict 3-1 to Villa!

Not long got back from being at Villa Park.  What a night and performance.  It wasn’t a fluke win either as we were the better side for significant periods of the game.  A number of players had arguably their best game in a Villa shirt tonight

Watching from the North Stand, it was clear that we had done our homework and were quite happy to let Kyle Walker have the ball in their half, but really pressed the other three defenders and it really worked.

What a game!

That's the Baily I was expecting when we signed him!

I was excited, but I didn’t think he’d be THAT good.

Not at all. If I'd had kids, I would've disowned the buggers if they'd brought shame on the family like that!
