    This is modern football.

    Mismatches like this are going to become the norm, and not just when City come to town.

    Aside from City away the next 6 games are quite favourable.

    We can get 7 from the next 9.

    I hear Gary Neville was spouting on Sky. Guess what Gary? The company you work for created this. The self proclaimed greatest league in the world is a predictable sham. It's just like every other European league now - One or two teams winnibg everything. The rest? Not a chance. Congratulations Sky.

    That NUFC performance was solid but a sorry state of affairs when you have to park the bus at home.

    Not read any comments.. First half strange sitting back like that but I totally understand and tbh I think rafa got it just about right... Making subs at the right time rather than us being 4 nil doon at half time we soaked it up and went in only one doon... Joselu I thought did some great graft and won a load of headers,arrons I thought was poor I thought he was quick?
    City are slick as fook and will not lose the title... Merino looked a class act when he came on and we nearly sneaked the point... BTW from my seat in the east stand did gayle dive or could he of got his shot away instead?

    Gayle dived. Could have got a shot off. Clear yellow card.

    No mate row b reet in the front... He won **** loads but obviously on his own up front... He missed two and the kid doon the row screamed at him... I said ya fuka he's won four misses one and your on his back. I know he's poor and not the answer by a long shot but I do think he gets hammered.... There was a lot worse our there tonight... Just my opinion.

    Sky didn't pump the money into Man City. Nor did they at Chelsea. They are vanity projects for multi-billionaires. Financial control is what has gone wrong. The Premier League project is another debate altogether and certainly not without it's faults but it didn't make Man City what they are now. The Champions League project is another debate beyond that. Something should be done, but nothing will because everyone involved is making a mint.

    Well they created the product that allowed these foreign owners to swan in and ruin the game. Football is ruined in this country. Remember a time in this country when the underdog could compete on the day? Long gone.

    I think he gets a lot of unfair comments
    it wasn't his fault that there was no one there for the knock on when he won several headers

    To be fair, seen him in the last three games and he's worked his arse off with little or no support or service

    Against Arsenal he won 21 challenges in the air but did anyone run off him, anticipate the flick ons - did they ****.

    He's not the best we'll ever see by any means, but give him some credit

    Agree. He ran a lot and won a few headers but Gayle did more in the time he was on. Jos played too deep and often Shelvey or Diame were the first to block a Citeh player coming forward.

    Jos was poor and that’s being kind, very kind.

    I like Gayle. I think he's quicker and sharper and more likely to score than Josselu. I wish he was played more often.
