City's one touch passing is ridiculous. Shades of Pep's Barcelona 

This ref is bonkers

Man I just know Duran was offside there lol

We are playing well. Huh. Not sure how this is possible.

For a game we're throwing, it's surprisingly attacking. Just a midfield 2 with a front 4. Who knows, this might turn out like that cup game 12 years ago.

Well at this stage they don’t have a game in hand. We both have 8 games remaining and both have to play all of the top 3 in those 8.

It’s a straight shootout for 4th with us starting with a 2 point advantage. 

Well if we lose tomorrow they'll have a game in hand and will have cut our 3 point lead to 2. Getting City out of the way and keeping our 3 point lead in tact would be absolutely massive.

2007. 13 losses in a row in the Premier League. 8 of them we didnt score in. In that time we also lost an FA Cup tie, also with scoring.

We did win a League Cup tie there in 2012 against a second XI. For what it's worth.

 

I remember that League Cup game. 4-2 AET. Was when Benteke was starting to come into his own.

A point would be nice but at least we can remain 4th no matter what after tomorrow. 

Thanks west ham. 

A point would render Spurs' game in hand almost moot (depending on how much they score). Would be huge.

A point would be amazing. When was the last time we got at least a point at the Etihad? Has to be 2009 at the latest. Probably more like 2007. Which is crazy.

It kind of shows how incredible (for better or worse) the internet is. In just a few short years the word mutated from being something used almost exclusively among African Americans, often tongue in cheek ("Stay woke" was a funny joke for a while), to an overused pejorative among middle aged British people and everyone in between.

8 league games to go and we are well in this with a European QF to enjoy too. What a season. We just need to enjoy this. Who saw this coming when Unai took over? Not me. I am savouring every moment. What a team. What a manager.

Exactly. Best season of my lifetime. The odd loss we suffer occasionally doesn't even phase me. In the grand scheme of things we're already like 3-5 years ahead of where I thought we'd be under NSWE.

Feel like he's got another Conference League winner in his locker

The annoying thing is that Man U could easily go and win their remaining 9 in a row, and it probably wouldn’t be that surprising. Even if we get lucky and they only manage to draw tonight, they could still do serious damage with 8 remaining. So for me they are a concern still and will be until it is mathematically impossible for them to go above us. I’m praying that is achieved before the last game of the season. 

So you watched them today and your conclusion was they could *checks notes* easily win 9 in a row? United. Zero goal difference Manchester United. This is technically an opinion yes, but it's not a serious one.

I love Zaniolo, he’s exactly the sort of maverick that I fall for 

He was Grealish before Grealish before those 2 ACLs

Zaniolo cooking

Tight hamstring according to the commentator 

Wait, what happened to Watkins?

Digne no doubt shaking his head on the bench 

Missing preseason with injury should never be understated. Next season I imagine Kamara will look as off as Moreno does now for a while 

Those types of fouls should be more than yellow cards. This is why I support those calls for an "orange card"

Aren’t we playing Wolves

That's about as heated as it's going to get fit the foreseeable future

That Atletico Miniero kit with the Betano sponsor a few pages back brought back memories of one of my old favourite away tops, so thought I'd chuck together a mock-up for it...

Kind of looks like a Fulham kit. Adidas kits just kind of look cheap on teams that aren't Bayern/United/Arsenal really
