Interesting how long the VAR review was for Citeh's second goal compared us against Brentford. About 15 secs and that's being generous.

We are the only club to overturn a 2 goal deficit in the first  leg semi final of the League Cup.

What a night that was.

The second leg was a Sunday afternoon

Second leg against Arsenal might have been midweek? We were two-nil down during the first leg in that one, too.

The empty seats are an absolute joke, considering it’s a cup semi final.
This game is obviously just an inconvenience for them.

Ungracious, ungrateful, arrogant tossers.

They have empty seats for CL games so no surprise.

Top tiers appear to be empty…i have so come to dislike city. Find them boring to watch too. Maybe that’s it.

Yeah, I watched it live on telly with a friend who was a Liverpool fan. Obviously, I was quite emotional during the game and when we won, he got up and shook my hand to congratulate me. Haven't seen him in 20+ years, as he joined the Hare Krishnas.

Judging by the atmosphere, having rigged the competition through financial doping doesn’t seem to be working for the winners let alone everyone else.

It was dark when it finished and I had had a few.

And now Pep is asking them to change the rules so Guehi can play in the final, cos rules shouldn't apply to them!
