Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola, speaking to BBC Sport: Congratulations for Wigan for the qualification. We did absolutely everything, we made a mistake and this kind of game is like a final. OK, we accept the defeat. Congratulations to the winner. On Fabian Delph's sending off: "Red card. It was the decision."
That was a red card all day long, reckless, foot raised off the floor, it was a potential leg breaker. It is good to see Spendiola accepting defeat and the red card, and not lowering himself to the levels of Mourinho, Klopp and Wenger.
Sometimes a bit of passion, desire and effort yield a better return vs. the zero ****s given attitude of our current World Cup winning no.2 striker.
The guy sent out a plea in his post match interview "I have always said if you give me the chances I will score goals at any level", that sounds like a "come and get me" or a "you need me" to other clubs.
You mean by wanting to fight the 4th official and the other teams manager at half time? Or have I missed sarcasm again
He didn't lower himself with his post-match comments. He got in there early and did it with his half-time actions, instead!
Heard there's some fella up in Wigan called Will Grigg... Apparently he's on fire. Oh and... **** you, Kyle
Something I read:- You couldn't make it up-this from the BBC "after signing French defender Aymeric Laporte from Atletico Bilbao,Man City's "Annual Defence Spending" has exceeded the annual military defence budget of 52 countries!"
Dreams are all about perception, a nightmare for you, a pleasant dream for any of us. but if we make the final, I'll take your advice and put £118 on a Spurs win.
Based on last night's result, Joey Barton & Alan Brazil will be telling their listeners that our second string is better than City's first-choice lineup...right?
Caption competition: why not have a go. Not all Chelsea fans are racists. Take Skiddy for instance...
I assume the Narrative (TM) would be based on relative league positions if you append all the leagues (so the gap from Spurs to Rochdale > Citeh to Wigan - therefore Spurs performed far worse etc) .
