      Surrey Blue..that is a long time as well. I think this season will my last though from a spectator point of view. I find late kick off and winter now difficult for me to travel a distance and I live in a Moorland community, roads are not great.
      I will see this season out though, just about. You are right , The recent years have been good, I would say from Mancini’s era, Pelligrini I liked, Pep is great Management to day is far different from the old days, as are the players. Fans to day nowhere near the level of the 40/50s keep cheerful, its only a game

        442…re Jesus….not the finished article yet. He is young, clever, skilful and fit all good pointers for the future. However, he is not an Augerro and City do adapt the style of play depending on who is playing, with both on, it does not really work, yet Jesus does need a partner to play off, unfortunate the person is not Augerro, who will be only with us another season at the most and a slight chance he may go earlier On balance, if he stays at City I think Jesus will do very well next season, he has the abilities and age on his side

          Surrey blue….well I think you know me, always “out of the box” thinking and pragmatic with it as well, sometimes it is a curse. We are fortunate in having a club that has been dramatically transformed in such a way that at the very least we will commutative in everything we go after but that is not saying we win everything, every time, for me, the pleasure comes in watching the game, even loosing to Spurs and Utd we played some good football for Nil its. As to the future, what will happen will happen….cuts out the guesswork. Enjoy the game.

            Surrey blue….you have to remember everyone was saying City would win the title for years to come, forgetting, football is a changing game and even Liverpool may find next year difficult to manage. You cannot discount other teams as well who will get stronger and make for tighter games and we may not see big leads in the table as we have experienced in last few years. Liverpool have been extraordinary this year as City were but I do not see these teams dominating as much next season but either may win it. That has been the story of the season, Liverpools relentless run of wins. City have built a club that will see regular success of some kind, e.g. Cups, league etc whatever and for that we should be pleased. The only thing I cannot stand watching a match is players not putting an effort in….that is in the past now with pep but as was shown against Spurs some have a mentality problem and that needs to be addressed. I think it will

              The question was asked,,,did Spurs deserve to win? Of course they did, before we fall back into the tribalism I have often stated I go to watch a football match. I enjoy a good defensive performance as much as an offensive one. Mak, eluded to a mentality problem with City players and I think he is right. The mojo has not returned yet but it will. Spurs will get better but Jose has his plan to do that and must be given time, certainly more than Utd gave him. I am not concerned about the EPL either, I think the standard is high, it is only the salary structure that bugs me

                  Angelino already gone, the rest are likely but this is The Mirror talking, a few obvious ones

                    I have never known a dull Spurs v City game. I wish I was watching live, it should be a great game

                      ED, for the record City had 4 shots on target 6 shots off target against United 2 on and 2 off, However you scored the goal As to depleted side, well we were without our CBs which should have encouraged you from the start. I think where Utd made a mistake was not playing Mata.

                          Maverick the world will never be perfect, idiots will, unfortunately appear and re appear. I just wonder if you have more against City than the event, Every City fan I know has always respected Munich disaster and as a Club we have shown every respect on a number of occasions. The idiots you refer to are just that, every club has them including Utd and it makes me wonder if the same idiots are part of a tribe with no interest in football but an interest in conflict It is no good pointing fingers unless you know the real facts

                            OK, Pep has his critics and I understand why but I for one, would not swap him for anyone else and take the losses as and when because `i know we will have more wins

                              Nine…in saying that Utd offered little, the goal was from a set piece poorly defended by City and we tried to walk the ball in the net at times. If Utd are to improve they need some belief in what they are doing, no evidence of that and considering they had to chase the game they had no craft at all

                                Nine, you are right laporte and Fernandino as the CB would have made a difference. Rodri was caught in two minds where he was playing but I suspect he was doing plenty of covering as well although Otemendi had a decent game and Martial was kept quiet where I thought the threat would come from. We should have won this game with goals to spare, we did not sow bit more shooting practise guys for week end

                                    Nine…Fernades…..maybe if he was at the match he will have thought “I have not much competition here then” Hope he works out for you but recent track record does not give any encouragement

                                        I hope Sane does get fitbagain but he will be gone at the end of the season. Had he been fit he would have gone this window

                                          City need some shooting practise….I guess somebody will feel it sometime…..soon, I hope Some great football again but you have to hit the back of the net as well, in saying that, we have scored a lot this season but the need is to do it when it counts
