Foden is going to be an incredible player.

Quite annoying when you're not a supporter that not only can you buy almost anyone you can develop world class talent too.

Wow, great stuff from City tonight. Thoroughly deserved the win against a bunch of spoilt pricks in PSG.

The back four tonight were outstanding; Dias gets better with every match and what happened to the old Zinchenko that was a wobbly, shaky left back prone to mistakes. Pep's worked wonders with him and Foden tonight, all his performance was missing was a goal.

Sad that Poch has got involved with this bunch.... Neymar, Di Maria and Herrera have always been s but you can Verratti and Kimpembe to that list. That challenge from Kimpembe near the end was worth a red, not a yellow & aside from the early penalty that VAR sorted out, I'd say that was a brilliant performance from Bjorn Kuipers, the ref. Took no nonsense from the usual subjects and let the game flow as much as possible. Hope he gets the final.
Good point about the ref, he had a good game.

Not being a City fan, the best bit of the whole evening was the gradual decline in behaviour of the PSG players, culminating in some shocking indiscipline towards the end; PSG seeing the ref officiating it properly was winding up Neymar, Verratti etc good & proper. hehe

There was a good bit about 5 mins from the end where Neymar got the slightest knock and went down like he'd been shot and the ref completely ignored him.

... and then he got to his feet having suffered near life-threatening injuries and limped back into his own half, head down, sulking - superb!

Herrera is another one who definitely whinges ... his baby face and the constant pleading to the ref deserves a smack!

Apparently the ref told Paredes to fk off and said fk you to Herrera. laugh Something else for them to moan about.

20 years today since we were last relegated.
I remember laying in bed with my girlfriend and jokingly asking her if she’d wear a city shirt in bed?
She replied
“is that so I can go down on you? “
Somehow we’re now happily married although she never did wear the top.

What name was on the back?

In other words, which player did you want to shag?

In February 2019, I covered the under 18 Premier League cup semi final between Reading & Manchester City for Opta. City won 5-2 and I came home raving about a striker City had called Liam Delap. He scored one that day but at times was unplayable.

I've kept an eye on the lad's career and now and again watch his games on a club's live stream. For City's under-18's, he's got 11 goals and 7 assists in 17 games and for the under-23's, he's scored 27 goals with 7 assists in 24 games.

Last month, he made his debut for the England under-18's at Cardiff v Wales, needless to say he scored after coming on as a sub. He's played at every level from England u-15 to u-18 and has 9 goals in 17 games.

He's played 324 minutes for the first team and scored 4 goals.

My lad watched him tonight down at Spurs having heard me rave on about him for the last 15 months. He texted me to say "He is absolute quality; has to go out on loan or play with the first team next season." He scored a 32 minute hat trick today + one assist.

The guy is the best lad I've seen at this age (he was 18 in February) ever!! I'm sure he's at the right club to progress as Pep has worked wonders with Phil Foden but please try to catch a game next season on YouTube. He is an unbelievable talent and will go on and score bucket loads of goals for England IMO.

he's been very good so far and there's more than a hint of haarland about him in the way he moves and his size. he's a monster for a 17/18 year old. noises i've heard from folks connected to the club is that he's expected to 'make it'

Not the strongest lineup this afternoon. Still good players but a lot of changes which may be a problem and leave the champagne uncorked for a while longer?
