    Didn't get any pics, but it was amazing. My daughter was enthralled watching them. Also the sound when they swoop overhead is something to behold. Such a great display of nature and all for free.

    Incredible that some people never even bother to get off their arses and just sit in front of the TV, when stuff like this is going on around them.

    Home now, just seen the City v Arsenal highlights. Ridiculous pen decision and offside goal. Looked like City had plenty of chances, but looked like we were a bit unlucky on the day.

    Well that was a poor performance. Best team won. Hand the title to City now.

    United were abject second half. Whatever Mourinho said to them at half time really didn’t work.

    That's exactly what I said to the lads on the WhatsApp today, he's killed them in that half time team talk.

    One thing I'll say is that 3 at the back just will never work for Man United. Not ever.

    Good win for the Chavs that.

    Title is City's. Between Utd and Chelsea for 2nd I reckon. Arsenal, Spurs and Liverpool are going to be battling for 4th.

    Between Chelsky / Man Utd / Spurs for 2-4 generally,
    Citeh pulled back into the mix depending on the Dec 10/16 results.

    City are the best team right now, full stop. England, Europe, whatever, they're ripping teams apart for fun and regardless of how much Pep spent they're doing the job.

    Forget about PL, that team could stomp through every competition this season.

    When I say never I mean as a system for us to build a team on, it's worked several times as it happens in individual games. We just look uncomfortable in that formation, even when it works.

    Same starting XI as against Spurs. No Kane though.

    There was one moment of appalling defending and a scuffed shot against Spurs. That game deserved to be 0-0.

  18. As I said at the start of the season, it's going to be City all the way.

    We will be contesting either 3rd or 4th depending on a subtle combination of (a) how we deal with playing at Wembley for all of our home games, and (b) how well United perform.

    As things stand, I think we have to be favourites for 2nd spot, which would be a massive step forward for us.

    Yeah it was a great win but more happy with the team spirit and performance after the Roma game.
