I am actually surprised how much Jesus Navas has elevated City. I always deemed him a mere pacewhore, but his skills in combination with his ability to almost always get behind the defender has really given City the penetration they lacked with MIlner in his position. But it is only natural that a side like City with such power in the middle will thrive with added pace and width.

One starts to believe City might not have been thumped by Bayern if they had Pantillimon rather than Hart in goal

what a miss by fernandinho

Maybe, or maybe he's been shit all season and he's having a bit of luck today against a team who spent £100 million but have to stick a centre-back at left-back.

And they have a manager who seems to struggle to organise a defence properly.

Just to get this right....Erik Lamela cost the same as Willian.

[NiclasCFC 2,582]

Dembele has been decent since he came on, a sneaky bid in January for our pivot?

[Liquidator 5,176]

Few greater pleasures in life than seeing Spurs and Villas Boas getting fucked over

[The only place to be 11,313]

Fuck me....the amount of City fans who have left early.

[Ainsley Harriott 2,732]

Hahahaha gold.

I think he has enough skill to make his pace a real weapon and that already suffices to be a decent player these days where there are almost no traditional out-and-out wingers and everyone is a wanna-be playmaker. A player like him is excellent to come off the bench and make a difference in tight matches and he is only getting used to this league. He had a really good season at SEvilla last year and when he reaches that level here City will be a lot better. He might be overrated and overpriced, but City lack real wingers and he is exactly what they needed.

here we go

AVB looks like he's about to cry.

I give him two Phil Jones faces.

City fans must be so frustrated, on their day they are easily the best team in the league, but that day doesn't come enough.

As for Spurs, there fans are making the same excuse Liverpool did under Kenny (using 'net spend' as an excuse for the signing's under-performing).

[bushman 2,043]

I see Citeh even scored 6 goals today, just one more than I predicted. LOL.

[Sheva. 5,373]

Spurs have 2 more goals than newly promoted Palace, ignoring the fact they got 2 gift pens. Ridiculous. AVB out!

[zolayes 14,489]

Fuck me....the amount of City fans who have left early.

they are the decent ones who don't want to see dumb animals suffering

[Ainsley Harriott 2,732]

On a side note, I thought Negredo was going to flop at City but he is an amazing player, always impresses me. Wish we had gone for him.

[Beigl 1,387]

Is it just me or I´m the only one who thinks all Spurs players are ugly?

[bushman 2,043]

A 6 goals allowed in 11 games. A 6 goals allowed today.

Something is wrong with AVB tactics.

[nachikethas 1,154]

Man how i hate avb and spurs. A match made in heaven for me.

[NiclasCFC 2,582]

HOW IS THAT NOT A RED ON ROONEY?!

[Ryan Fong 2,776]

Rooney would be sent off by some refs.
