    2-1 now. Game on! Lovely turn of pace by Sterling and crossed in for de Bruyne to score. But was the ball out of play?

    Aguero! 3-1! What an amazing glancing header!

    Unreal player.

    Everton getting royally screwed, the ball for second goal was out, and it can also be argued that Aguero was offside, disgusting.

    It was inevitable really. We will have to strengthen this coming summer window to compete with City. Guardiola is probably the best manager out there at the moment and will get City up to a high level in no time. The Premiership still has a vacant number 1 team and with City's resources and players, they will be favourites to take that spot, unless we make some significant signings this coming summer, such as a striker.

    Most of the top teams are a mess this season and NO ONE has taken the initiative and gone for the title. City have been below par and Pellegrini has been struggling to get any consistency from his team, and he's got bloody good players. Pep will come in, make some changes, get rid of some and bring in some. He will work with the existing players and get the best out of them too. They will be a very tough team to beat next season.

    Us on the other hand are still struggling to get enough consistency and have random drops in performance when it counts the most. Also Wenger has accumulated too much deadwood, of which 3 will be leaving this summer. We still don't have DM cover, no WC striker and lack general midfield cover. Wenger has no choice but to buy this summer and if he fails to get at least 3 outfield players, we will struggle to challenge for the title.

    Exciting times ahead for City fans.
    Guardiola will attract big names.

    Yeah I'd imagine there are a lot of players who would like to play under Guardiolas management and with the resources City have it wont be difficult for them to sell the dream of something big in the making. We could see some real star signings to the premier league over the next few transfer windows.

    They've come a long way since Keith Curle used to play for them...

    I can imagine this too. If they are attracting top players like Aguero, Silva and Yaya, then I wouldn't be surprised if they ended up with someone like Messi or Neymar. The Premiership level will improve and with top managers like Wenger, Hiddink, Klopp and Maureen (if he goes to manure), then things can only get better!

    Dele Alli is something special, ain't he? Looks like the complete midfielder.

    With all these changes and "power shifts" happening this and next season, does anyone here truly see us competing for the title next season?

    City will have Pep and they're already a force to be reckoned with. With Pep, they'll go above and beyond.

    Once Chelsea have some "stability" (a foreign concept to them) they'll definitely be back in the title race.

    Klopp will have a major clear out at Liverpool and make Liverpool serious top 4 contenders.

    And Tottenham are becoming a strong side as well.

    Unless there are major changes at Arsenal, it's inevitable we'll be pushed out the top 4.
